[OVERVIEW]

Despite its solid coverage and bulk, Swalot is outclassed by Muk and Roselia as a special wall. Muk has higher offensive stats and special bulk, while Roselia has access to reliable recovery and Spikes. Swalot also competes with Eelektross as an Assault Vest user due to its ability to pivot with Volt Switch and competes with Skuntank as an offensive Poison-type due to its secondary Dark typing. Furthermore, Swalot's offensive stats are below average, limiting its offensive capabilities. Swalot is taken advantage of easily by Pokemon such as Regirock that can set Stealth Rock on it, and Swalot is worn down easily by entry hazards due to its lack of recovery.

[SET COMMENTS]

This set attempts to use Swalot's decent coverage and Assault Vest-boosted bulk to act as a special tank. However, Swalot is prone to getting worn down because it does not have access to reliable recovery, limiting the amount of times it can switch in to check special attackers. Eelektross has access to solid coverage options and a higher Special Attack stat, which gives Swalot further competition. Swalot also competes with Skuntank as an offensive Poison-type due to its secondary Dark typing and higher Speed.

back with the am check because honestly, its fun to do these.

[OVERVIEW]
Despite its solid coverage and bulk, Swalot is outclassed by Muk and Roselia as a special wall. Muk has higher offensive stats and special bulk while Roselia has access to reliable recovery (in Synthesis) and Spikes (and eviolite making it more bulky than Swalot). (You need to mention something else about Swalot, not just that it gets outclassed by Muk and Roselia. Mini analysis thread said a few sentences, not two.)

This set attempts to use Swalot's decent coverage and bulk with an Assault Vest to act as a special tank. However, Swalot is limited in the amount of times it can switch-in because it does not have access to reliable recovery (and what else does that mean? Means that it gets easily worn down and struggles to perform its role). Muk has a higher base Attack stat and higher special bulk (I think it would be nice to mention what else Muk has that makes it better than Swalot like a set up move in Curse to handle physical attackers easier), giving it further competition.

Thanks again for an AM check, implemented most of it. regarding Muk, I didnt mention Curse because I am specifically comparing it to AV Muk. Swalot actually also has Curse. I made changes to make this more clear.

[OVERVIEW]
Despite its solid coverage and bulk, Swalot is outclassed by Assault Vest Muk (muk doesn't run that in PU)and Roselia as a special wall. Muk has higher offensive stats and special bulk while Roselia has access to reliable recovery and Spikes.(mention eel too for an AV user with good coverage, and skuntank for an offensive poison mon) Furthermore, Swalot's offensive stats are below average, limiting its offensive capabilities.(maybe also talk about common mons that beat it, with mons like regirock using it for sr setup)(also how it has no reliable recovery making it easily worn down by hazards)

This set attempts to use Swalot's decent coverage and Assault Vest-boosted bulk with an Assault Vest (sorta awkward phrasing imo) to act as a special tank. However, Swalot is prone to getting worn down because it does not have access to reliable recovery, limiting the amount of times it can switch in(RH) to check special attackers. Eelektross has access to solid coverage options and has a higher Special Attack stat, giving it which gives Swalot further competition (what do you mean by "further competition"? do you mean Eel's better Special Attack in conjunction with its similar coverage pushes the competition further? right now it isn't clear to me. the change tries to address it though, so if what I'm saying is what you mean, then yeah you're good here.). Swalot also competes with Skuntank as an offensive Poison-type due to its secondary Dark typing(RH) and higher speed Speed.
