Slither Wing's solid bulk gives it a unique niche as an offensive pivot that provides useful defensive utility. It's good typing and bulk allow it to check a lot of Pokemon such as Bisharp, Tsareena, Tyranitar, and Wo-Chien. Morning Sun provides recovery and lets Slither Wing use its typing more effectively to check Pokemon such as opposing Sandy Shocks and Tyranitar. In matchups where sand is present, Slither Wing becomes much easier to wear down as a result of its weakened recovery. First Impression lets Slither Wing act as a great revenge killer, as it still packs plenty of power behind it to revenge kill frail, fast Pokemon such as Lycanroc-D, Gardevoir, Dragon Dance Tyranitar, and Haxorus. Stun Spore instead of Morning Sun lets Slither Wing cripple switch-ins like Salamence and Talonflame to create openings for teammates such as Choice Specs Toxtricity. Tera Bug improves Slither Wing's ability to revenge kill Pokemon with First Impression and boosts the power of its U-turn. Tera Ghost lets Slither Wing spinblock and check Maushold and Lucario. Protective Pads is run to help against Flame Body Talonflame as it otherwise can threaten Slither Wing with Will-O-Wisp, which limits its offensive potential. Heavy-Duty Boots can be ran when the team lacks hazard control and keeping Slither Wing healthy is important for the team and Slither Wing teammates that are capable of taking advantage of Talonflame. Maximum HP EVs allow Slither Wing to more comfortably switch into hits and utilize it to force out opponents. The Special Defense EVs allows it to avoid the 2HKO from Noivern's Flamethrower while also reliably surviving its Draco Meteor. The speed EV's are for Jolly Tyranitar.

Slither Wing works best on teams that are able to capitalize on its ability to pivot, which makes it effective on VoltTurn cores with Pokemon such as Iron Jugulis, Sandy Shocks, and Rotom-H. Slither Wing without Protective Pads is easily victim to burns from Flame Body Talonflame, which also forces it out easily, making the aforementioned Sandy Shocks and Rotom-H excellent partners that also force out Talonflame and use it to generate momentum. They are also both able to help Slither Wing by checking Salamence and Gengar. Tinkaton is a great teammate, as it can remove Talonflame's Heavy-Duty Boots to pressure Non-defog variants making it be harder to switch in under hazards. Wallbreakers like Choice Specs Toxtricity and Gengar like Slither Wing pressuring Tyranitar, Tinkaton, and Gastrodon and are able to pressure threats to Slither Wing like Salamence and Talonflame in return.

Slither Wing's solid bulk lets it act as a good pivot that has great offensive potential with its strong attacks and high attack stat. It's good typing and bulk allow it to check a lot of Pokémon such as Bisharp, Tsareena, Tyranitar, Wo-Chien, and more, take a hit, force them out, and pivot out to a teammate to take advantage of the situation. Morning Sun provides recovery and lets Slither Wing use its typing more effectively to check Pokemon such as opposing Slither Wing and Tsareena. Mention how in matchups against Hippo and Tyranitar Sand can render it less effective. First Impression lets it act as a great revenge killer as it still packs plenty of power behind it to revenge kill frail, fast Pokemon Pokemon doesn't need the accent on the e. Also give some examples here. Stun Spore instead lets Slither Wing cripple switch-ins like Salamence and Talonflame to create openings for teammates such as Choice Specs Toxtricity. Tera Ghost lets Slither Wing spinblock and check Maushold and Lucario. Tera Bug is an alternative that improves its ability to revenge kill Pokemon with First Impression and boosts the power of its U-turn. Max HP allows Slither Wing to more comfortably switch into hits and utilize it to force out opponents. Adamant and 16 Attack EV's hit a jumpoint which allow Slither Wing to still hit hard while not taking to much away from its bulk. Its speed allows it to outspeed neutral nature toxtricity. And the rest of the EV's are dumped into sp. def Special Defense to make switching into Sandy Shocks, Toedscruel, Slowking, and coverage options from Iron Jugulis. I assure you the extra SpD is not changing the matchup against Toedscruel. Anyways I had to update the spread because jump points can't be the reasoning behind it in the analysis. The given SpD lets you avoid the 2HKO from Flamethrower from Noivern + stomach Draco from it pretty reliably. Then the Speed is for Jolly Tyranitar. Just update this and keep the max HP point, remove the attack investment stuff.

Mention what pads is for and when it is preferred to run boots. This goes before EV stuff


Slither Wing works best on teams that are able to capitalize of its ability to pivot which makes it effective on VoltTurn cores with Pokemon such as Staraptor, Sandy Shocks, and Slowking, especially when its being paired with strong breakers that appreciate it generating entry points for them to deal heavy damage to the opponents such as Specs gengar, Banded Staraptor, Gallde, Sandy Shocks, Iron Jugulis, and more. This is way too long. You've repeated both sandy and raptor in the same sentence too. If you want to go further on about wallbreakers then start a new point about how Staraptor particularly appreciates being brought in safely against X and Y to fire off powerful attacks. Then follow up with two more breakers that work well with Slither. Slither Wing struggles a lot with Talonflame and Gengar as those are mainly free entry points for them, Pokémon such as Sandy Shocks, Slowking, You have mentioned Sandy and Slowking in the last point, there is no need to repeat the same examples. Choose something else. and Knock Off Support is able to help with the talonflame problem by capitalizing off its weak brave birds and inability to damage them, while Tinkaton, Gastrodon, Grafaiai, Bisharp, and good prediction are able to help with the Gengar problem by taking advantage off the fact it doesn't like getting chipped by hazards and u-turn which limits the amount of turns it can freely get off of Slither Wing as a result This is one sentence and frankly it's a mess. It needs to be broken down into the following:

Have the first point be just about Talonflame and how it can be a massive pain, especially without Protective Pads.
Then follow up with Gastrodon and Tinkaton providing hazards support as it can bring stuff like Gardevoir and non-Boots Jugulis into FI range. They also both help check Gengar and Salamence.
Mention that Tink also is great at removing Boots from Talon here to put more pressure on it, especially if it lacks Defog to clear them itself.
Remove the other stuff about Bisharp and hazards chipping Gengar.

In matchups where sand is present, Slither Wing becomes much easier to wear down as a result of its weakened recovery. First Impression lets it act as a great revenge killer as it still packs plenty of power behind it to revenge kill frail, fast Pokemon such as Lycanroc-Dusk, Gardevoir, Dragon Dance Tyranitar, and Haxorus. move this point to be above morning sun. Stun Spore instead of Morning Sun lets Slither Wing cripple switch-ins like Salamence and Talonflame to create openings for teammates such as Choice Specs Toxtricity. Tera Ghost lets Slither Wing spinblock and check Maushold and Lucario. Tera Bug is an alternative that improves its ability to revenge kill Pokemon with First Impression and boosts the power of its U-turn. good information but swap the order to show bug is primary option imo. Protective Pads is ran to help against Flame Body Talonflame as it otherwise can threaten Slither Wing with burns which limits its offensive potential. bring up ignoring rocky helmet from Hippowdon as well. Heavy-Duty Boots is ran when the team lacks hazard control and Slither Wing's health is valuable for the team and you have teammates that are capable of taking advantage of Talonflame. Max HP allows slither wing to more comfortably switch into hits and utilize it to force out opponents. you repeat this sentence right afterward Max HP allows Slither Wing to more comfortably switch into hits and utilize it to force out opponents. The special defense allows it to avoid the 2HKO from Flamethrower from Noivern and stomach Draco from it pretty reliably. The speed is for Jolly Tyranitar.

Slither Wing works best on teams that are able to capitalize of its ability to pivot which makes it effective on VoltTurn cores with pokemon such as Iron Jugulis, Staraptor, iron jugulis is far more relevant than staraptor so this is a better mention Sandy Shocks, and Slowking. Slither Wing without Protective Pads is easily victim to the 30% flame body burns from Talonflame, and being able to force it out easily. ??? this is an unfinished point, should be about Pokemon that can take advantage of Talonflame like Slowking and sandy shocks, can tie to above point Slither Wing appreciates teammates such as Tinkaton and Gastrodon which are able to chip opponents with hazards into First Impression range stuff like Iron Jugulis and Gardevoir. They are also both able to help Slither Wing by checking Salamence and Gengar. Tinkaton is a great teammate as it can remove Heavy-Duty Boots off of Talonflame to pressure non-defog variants making it be under much more stress under hazards to switch in.

bring up wallbreakers like Choice Specs Toxtricity and Gengar that like Slither Wing pressuring Tyranitar, tinkaton, and Gastrodon and are able to pressure threats to Slither Wing like Salamence and Talonflame in return.

Slither Wing's solid bulk gives it a unique niche as an offensive pivot that provides useful defensive utility,(RC) with. It's Its good typing and bulk allow it to check a lot of Pokémon Pokemon such as Bisharp, Tsareena, Tyranitar, and Wo-Chien.(AP) Morning Sun provides recovery and lets Slither Wing use its typing more effectively to check Pokemon such as opposing Sandy Shocks and Tyranitar.

Tera Ghost lets Slither Wing spinblock and check Maushold and Lucario. Protective Pads is ran run to help against Flame Body Talonflame,(AC) as it otherwise can threaten Slither Wing with burns Will-O-Wisp, (AC) (I take it that this makes sense?) which limits its offensive potential. Heavy-Duty Boots is ran can be run when the your team lacks hazard control,(AC) and Slither Wing's health is valuable for the team,(AC) (for that point, I would recommend changing it to "keeping Slither Wing healthy is important for the team" because keeping a Pokemon healthy would pretty much always be valuable for a team) and you have Slither Wing has teammates that are capable of taking advantage of Talonflame. Maximum HP EVs allows Slither Wing to more comfortably switch into hits and utilize it to (utilize what? If you're trying to talk about utilizing its HP EVs, just delete "utilize it to) force out opponents. The special defense Special Defense EVs allows it to avoid the 2HKO from Flamethrower from Noivern and stomach Draco from it pretty reliably Noivern's Flamethrower while also reliably surviving its Draco Meteor.
