[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance Dugtrio is a powerful setup sweeper that can set up entry hazards if needed. Stone Edge allows Dugtrio to deal with Pokemon immune to Ground such as Honchkrow, Charizard, and Rotom-Frost. Sucker Punch can let Dugtrio revenge kill Choice Scarf users and setup Pokemon such as Basculin and Charizard. Stealth Rock is mostly used on Focus Sash sets, combined with Dugtrio's offensive capabilities makes it a premier entry hazard setter, allowing it to threaten hazard removers such as Komala and Hisuian Avalugg. the combination of tera blast and tera ice allows Dugtrio to deal with Grass-types, OHKOing the likes of Thwackey, Flapple, and Cacturne while also being able to deal with opposing Dugtrio and Gabite. Focus Sash allows for Dugtrio to live a hit making it a good lead; while Life Orb boosts Dugtrios already high offensive pressure. Tera Dark is used mostly with Sucker Punch boosting its damage; while Tera Ground is used to boost Earthquakes damage.
Dugtrios poor defenses makes it pair well with bulky Pokemon such as Gogoat and Hisuian Sliggoo, which can allow for Dugtrio to come in late game. Dugtrio also appreciates entry hazards from Pokemon like Whiscash and Carbink, that can help wear down opposing Pokemon allowing for Dugtrio to break through them. Dugtrio can appreciate pivot such as Alolan Persian, Rotom-Frost, and Thwackey, which can pivot Dugtrio in on Pokemon it can check, forcing them out and allowing for Dugtrio to setup.
The Set Comments section should be 2 paragraphs in covering all of the material listed above. The first paragraph gets one overview sentence and covers what used to be the Moves and Set Details sections while the second is Team Options. Explain any relevant coverage moves and slashings in the set, as well as non-252 / 252 EV spreads. There is no bullet points phase, always write things up.
