[SET COMMENTS]
Magic Guard Slither Wing serves as a highly potent offensive pivot and revenge-killer able to wear down and eventually break down its checks in the long-term. Flare Blitz allows Slither Wing to hit checks like Corviknight harder, Earthquake hits walls like Toxapex effectively, Will-O-Wisp can cripple checks like Fluffy Quaquaval and help to wear down defensive checks with added chip while Morning Sun allows Slither Wing to remain healthy throughout a game. Specially offensive threats like Hisuian Electrode and Primordial Sea Inteleon pair well with Slither Wing for its ability to pivot and bring them in on physical walls to force them out and wear them down as well as for opportunities to break. Fast physical threats like Meowscarada and Chien-Pao also work well in combination Slither Wing to continuously wear down and overwhelm common physical walls like Corviknight and Scream Tail. Reliable hazard setters like Garchomp and Heatran are also appreciated to help wear down checks like Corviknight over the game. Defensive pivots like Corviknight and RegenVest Meloetta are recommended to help pivot Slither Wing in to break and also absorb revenge-killing attempts from the likes of Galarian Zapdos and Iron Moth.

QC 1/2!

Notes for Nat

Your QC check reads much more like a GP check; QC should be focused on the mon itself and its place in the metagame. Is its role clearly explained? Are key moves, items, and abilities explained? Does the author explain good teammates and why, and good counters and why?

the QC note about Pex was good, but that was the only real QC note in this one.
