[SET COMMENTS]
* Use the first bullet for the most important part: quickly explain the main selling point of this set!
* **Label your bullet points!**: Anything after the first bullet point should be labeled. If you're justifying a move, then name the bullet point after the move. If it's about an single EV spread, important mechanic, or teammate, then come up with a label that best describes the topic!
* **No need to talk about obvious stuff**: If a move is obvious, there's no reason to give it a bullet. No reason to say "use High Jump Kick and Dynamax Cannon for STAB". Only mention them if its something that isn't self explanatory!
* **Fire Punch versus Ice Punch**: Move choices can be worth a bullet too. For example if Ice Punch lets this Pokemon cover Dragonite, while Fire Punch beats Gholdengo, that is worth mentioning. use "versus" to get the point across that you're picking between certain moves.
* **Mario's Goomba Stomp Strategy**: Not every Pokemon needs this, but if there's a REALLY specific and important thing to say about a Pokemon, you can label it in a descriptive way. Think stuff like needing neutral natures + mints for trick.
Other Options
========
* **Put viable moves that don't fit on the moveset here**: Other Options is finally back! This is for moves that do exist / are viable, but are tough to fit in for whatever reason. Feel free to describe why the move can be harder to justify too.
* **Not everyone Pokemon needs this section!**: If you listed all the viable stuff, no need to scrape the bottom of the barrel, just don't include this section then!
Tera Types
========
* **Tera Dependency - (insert category here)**: Here, spend 1-2 sentences explaining how important Terastallization is to this set! While certain Pokemon may require special custom stuff, these categories in the hide tag should cover most Pokemon!
Tera Dependency Categories
* **Flying**: Except to see this one a LOT! Tera Types are very important in this metagame, so almost every Pokemon will have this section, especially if the tera type is not baked into the set such as "Normal Dragonite for Extreme Speed" kind of stuff.
* **Fire**: Even if a Pokemon isn't getting at Tersastallizing, most Pokemon will still want this section, just because the nature of the mechanic can lead to weird situations happening in a match.
* **Fighting**: Some Pokemon have a LOT of viable tera options, including more niche ones to consider. Sometimes, QC might ask you to include these without slashing them in the set.
EV Spreads
========
* **252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD with Careful**: If a Pokemon has a rather non obvious EV spread, explaining it is generally worth it!
* **252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe with Careful**: Generally, only list 252 / 252 spreads if the Pokemon has multiple EV builds. Otherwise, those tend to be pretty obvious, and don't need any writing at all!
For Pokemon that have choices in other areas to make, these sections can also be included!
