[SET COMMENTS]
- Amoonguss is the tier’s premier redirector, neutralizing foes with Spore and sustaining its teammates with Pollen Puff. Its defensive prowess, coupled with Regenerator, provides the sustainability to soak up hits while supporting its team. Amoonguss pairs incredibly well with setup attackers such as Bulk Up Palafin-H and Swords Dance Iron Hands, which appreciate its redirection and healing capabilities and make up for its near-nonexistent offensive pressure. While Amoonguss is a great support Pokemon, it struggles against Fire-types like Heatran and Volcanion, and its utility is diminished by Cresselia's Lunar Blessing and Safety Goggles users.

- As the most consistent sleep user in the tier, Amoonguss's Spore forces switches to powder-immune foes. This is especially powerful in Trick Room, as Amoonguss can utilize its low Speed to render foes immobile before they can act.

- Rage Powder makes it easier for teammates to use setup moves like Swords Dance and Bulk Up or set field conditions such as Trick Room or Tailwind safely. In addition, it can draw attacks away from frail attackers like Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane, generating space for them.

- Pollen Puff heals teammates and damages foes in a pinch, allowing Amoonguss to provide value even during the effects of Taunt.

- Clear Smog enables Amoonguss to check setup threats like Bulk Up Palafin-H and Belly Drum Iron Hands. Protect is helpful in scouting foes’ moves, blocking Fake Out, and improving overall survivability.

- 244 HP and 136 Special Defense EVs ensure that Amoonguss can take two Shadow Balls from Choice Specs Flutter Mane after Sitrus Berry recovery. The remaining EVs are dumped into Defense.

- 28 Speed IVs let Amoonguss underspeed Iron Hands and Kingambit under Trick Room.

- Sitrus Berry improves Amoonguss's survivability when redirecting multiple attacks. Rocky Helmet can be used to rack up damage upon redirecting contact attacks such as Palafin-H's Jet Punch and punish U-turn from Rillaboom and Landorus-T.

- Tera Water turns Amoonguss's weaknesses to Fire- and Ice-type moves from foes such as Volcanion and Chien-Pao into resistances. Tera Dark can be used to improve its matchup against Indeedee-F and Armarouge teams and gain immunity to Prankster Taunt from Tornadus and Grimmsnarl.

- Amoonguss is the tier’s premier redirector, and sustaining sustains its teammates with Pollen Puff and while neutralizing foes with Spore. (minor; swap pollen puff & spore for flow purposes) Its defensive prowess, coupled with Regenerator, provides it the sustainability to soak up hits while supporting its team. It Amoonguss (avoiding 'it' repetition) pairs incredibly well with setup attackers,(ac) such as Palafin and Iron Hands,(ac) who appreciate its redirection and healing capabilities and make up for its near-nonexistent offenses (imo negligible point, can be condensed in the next line"). Amoonguss is an excellent support, but It it struggles against Fire-types like Heatran and Volcanion and its utility is diminished by Cresslia's Cresselia's Lunar Blessing and other Safety Goggles users. (just making it flow a bit better, you can rewrite the line start as you want)

- Spore dissuades foes from staying in and prevents them from setting up Trick Room. If Trick Room ends up active, Amoonguss can utilize its low Speed to threaten foes with sleep.
we talked about this in DOUcord; this is the rewrite that I ended up on, but it's up to you if you want to edit it:
As the most consistent sleep user in the tier, Amoonguss's Spore forces switches to powder-immune foes. This is especially powerful in Trick Room, as Amoonguss can utilize its low Speed tier to render foes immobile.

- Rage Powder enables makes it easier for teammates to set up Swords Dance and Bulk Up, or set field conditions such as Trick Room or Tailwind safely.

- Pollen Puff heals teammates and damages foes in a pinch, allowing Amoonguss to provide value even under during the effects of Taunt.

- Leaf Storm is Amoonguss’s most significant source of damage, 2HKOing Palafin-H and pressuring Landorus-Therian and Diancie. Protect is helpful in scouting foes’ moves, blocking Fake Out, and improving overall survivability. Clear Smog enables Amoonguss to check set-up threats like Bulk Up Palafin and Belly Drum Iron Hands. (rewrite this sentence for the new move order)

- Regenerator allows Amoonguss to come into the field and absorb attacks repeatedly. (too dex info)

- The EV spread allows Amoonguss to survive two consecutive Make It Rains from Choice Specs Gholdengo after Sitrus Berry. qsns will make a more relevant spread. daijoubu. also we're supposed to add IVs explanation here probably

- add a point about sitrus berry; up to you whether rocky helmet first or sitrus. whatever you do, make sure the [SET] has the correct order Rocky Helmet can be used to punish U-Turn U-turn from Rillaboom and Landorus-T and rack up damage by redirecting contact attacks such as Palafin's Jet Punch. i'd swap these two arguments

- 28 Speed IVs allow lets Amoonguss to underspeed Iron Hands and Kingambit under Trick Room. (see EV point)

- Tera Water turns Amoonguss's Fire- and Ice-type weaknesses (do we have specific examples e.g. Volcanion, Cheems?) into resistances and is overall an excellent defensive typing. It also removes its Flying-type weakness, further improving its matchup against rain teams the inclusion of tornadus on rain teams may not be self-explanatory; explain this a little better. Tera Dark can be used to improve its matchup against Psyspam teams and gain immunity to Prankster Taunt from Tornadus and Grimmsnarl.

- Amoonguss is the tier’s premier redirector, neutralizing foes with Spore and sustaining its teammates with Pollen Puff. Its defensive prowess, coupled with Regenerator, provides the sustainability to soak up hits while supporting its team. Amoonguss pairs incredibly well with setup attackers such as Bulk Up Palafin-H and Swords Dance Iron Hands I could go either way on mentioning BD hands, your call. basically just wanna specify what buttons those guys should click next to amoonguss. who appreciate its redirection and healing capabilities. While Amoonguss is a great support, it struggles against Fire-types like Heatran and Volcanion, and its utility is diminished by Cresselia's Lunar Blessing and other Safety Goggles users. probably also worth emphasizing amoonguss has very poor offensive pressure if it can't click spore and is reliant on its partner to make up the difference

- As the most consistent sleep user in the tier, Amoonguss's Spore forces switches to powder-immune foes. This is especially powerful in Trick Room, as Amoonguss can utilize its low Speed to render foes immobile.

- Rage Powder makes it easier for teammates to set up Swords Dance and Bulk Up, or set field conditions such as Trick Room or Tailwind safely. rage powder is also good for frail attackers to sponge hits for them, i.e. specs flutter vs specs flutter sball wars are won with rage powder

- Pollen Puff heals teammates and damages foes in a pinch, allowing Amoonguss to provide value even during the effects of Taunt.

- Clear Smog enables Amoonguss to check set-up threats like Bulk Up Palafin-H and Belly Drum Iron Hands. Protect is helpful in scouting foes’ moves, blocking Fake Out, and improving overall survivability.

- Gib EV Spread the EV spread lets amoonguss always live 2 shadow balls from specs flutter through sitrus. the rest is dumped into physdef.

- 28 Speed IVs let Amoonguss underspeed Iron Hands and Kingambit under Trick Room.

- Sitrus Berry improves Amoonguss' survivability when redirecting multiple attacks. Rocky Helmet can be used to rack up damage by redirecting contact attacks such as Palafin-H's Jet Punch and punish U-turn from Rillaboom and Landorus-T. you can mention running more physdef than the given ev spread here with rocky helmet to better check physical attackers

- Tera Water turns Amoonguss's weaknesses to Fire-types like Volcanion and Ice-types like Chien-Pao into resistances. Tera Dark can be used to improve its matchup against Psyspam Armarouge + Indeedee-F teams and gain immunity to Prankster Taunt from Tornadus and Grimmsnarl.

- As the most consistent sleep user in the tier, Amoonguss's Spore forces switches to powder-immune foes. This is especially powerful in Trick Room, as Amoonguss can utilize its low Speed to render foes immobile before they can act ("render foes immobile" is something sleep does regardless of trick room).

- Rage Powder makes it easier for teammates to set up use set up moves like Swords Dance and Bulk Up, (RC) or set field conditions such as Trick Room or Tailwind safely. Frail attackers such as Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane appreciate Amoonguss sponging powerful attacks and generating space for them. In addition, it can draw attacksaway from frail attackers like Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane, generating space for them (this seems similar to what you were aiming for?).

- Pollen Puff heals teammates and damages foes in a pinch, allowing Amoonguss to provide value even during the effects of Taunt.

- Clear Smog enables Amoonguss to check set-up set up threats like Bulk Up Palafin-H and Belly Drum Iron Hands. Protect is helpful in scouting foes’ moves, blocking Fake Out, and improving overall survivability.

- Sitrus Berry improves Amoonguss' survivability when redirecting multiple attacks. Rocky Helmet can be used to rack up damage by redirecting punishing contact attacks such as Palafin-H's Jet Punch and punish U-turn from Rillaboom and Landorus-T (way it was worded kinda made it seem like Rocky Helmet was what was doing the redirection).

- Tera Water turns Amoonguss's weaknesses to Fire-types like Volcanion and Ice-types like Chien-Pao Ice-type moves into resistances. Tera Dark can be used to improve its matchup against Indeedee-F and Armarouge teams and gain immunity to Prankster Taunt from Tornadus and Grimmsnarl.
