[SET COMMENTS]

Cresselia is a solid wall in RU that can check many common threats, such as Raikou, Zygarde-10%, and Noivern, due to its phenomenal bulk and typing. However, Cresselia is rather passive and vulnerable to status, and its type leaves it weak to both common threats such as Zarude, Obstagoon, and Chandelure and to the utility moves Knock Off and U-turn. Psyshock gives Cresselia a better matchup against Calm Mind Raikou and hits Roserade and Dragalge harder. Moonblast hits Dark- and Dragon-types like Zarude, Obstagoon, and Zygarde-10%. Moonlight keeps Cresselia healthy throughout the battle. Toxic is used to wear down bulky Pokemon like Seismitoad, Milotic, and Incineroar. Thunder Wave, on the other hand, provides Speed control by slowing down fast threats for Cresselia's teammates. 176 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to outspeed Modest Toxtricity. However, Cresselia can run less Speed to better take hits from Pokemon like Mienshao, Metagross, and Zygarde-10%: 144 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to be faster than Adamant Tyrantrum and Jolly Bewear, while 56 Speed EVs let it outsped Adamant Bewear and Modest Sylveon. Colbur Berry is an option for taking a Dark-type move from Mienshao, Zarude, or Obstagoon better. Ice Beam can be run with 56 Special Attack to OHKO Zygarde-10% and hit Noivern.

Cresselia works well on balance and more defensive teams, which appreciate its ability to check common threats and can handle its passive nature. Since Cresselia is vulnerable to status moves, especially Toxic, a cleric like Sylveon or Umbreon is a welcome teammate. A status absorber like Jungle Healing Zarude, Rest Snorlax, or Roserade fix this problem too by switching into status moves for Cresselia. Galarian Weezing is a useful teammate to check strong Dark- and Bug-types such as Zarude, Obstagoon, and Heracross, which are troublesome for Cresselia. In return, Cresselia checks Ground- and Psychic-types like Zygarde-10%, Rhyperior, and Indeedee. A reliable Dark- or Normal-type such as Zarude, Umbreon, Snorlax, or Porygon2 checks Ghost-types like Chandelure and Alolan Marowak. In return, Cresselia checks Fighting-types. A bulky Steel-type such as Registeel or Steelix helps Cresselia to check strong special attackers such as Xurkitree, Toxtricity, and Nasty Plot Togekiss, while Cresselia takes on Ground- and Fighting-types attacks in return. Since bulky setup sweepers such as Calm Mind Suicune, Galarian Slowbro, and Reuniclus take advantage of Cresselia's passive nature, phazers like Haze Milotic and Clear Smog Gastrodon or strong offensive checks to them like Obstagoon and Zarude are important teammates for Cresselia. Slow wallbreakers like Heracross, Toxtricity, and Tyrantrum pair well with Cresselia because Cresselia can support them with Thunder Wave and switch into revenge killers.

[SET COMMENTS]

Cresselia's incredible bulk and good Speed stat give it a small niche in RU as a Calm Mind sweeper. However, it faces stiff competition from Reuniclus and Galarian Slowbro, which have better matchups against Steel-types, more useful abilities, and immunity to Toxic. Stored Power becomes a powerful STAB move after some Calm Mind boosts and helps Cresselia to win Calm Mind wars against Galarian Slowbro, Suicune, and Raikou. Moonblast covers Dark-types like Zarude, Obstagoon, and Umbreon. Substitute blocks Trick and, more importantly, protects Cresselia from status ailments, allowing it to set up against bulky opposition such as Diancie, Milotic, and Registeel at the cost of reliable recovery. On the other hand, Moonlight allows Cresselia to more easily sustain itself in the long run and better handle threatening Electric-type special attackers such as Toxtricity, Thundurus, and Xurkitree. This also gives Cresselia more setup opportunities, though it becomes vulnerable to status conditions such as poison. 32 Special Attack EVs allow +1 Cresselia to get a safe 2HKO on Zarude. 176 Speed EVs let Cresselia outspeed Modest Toxtricity so Cresselia can use Calm Mind first to better take its Boomburst. 92 HP EVs give Cresselia a 101 HP Substitute, meaning that a single Seismic Toss from Registeel cannot break it. The remaining EVs are placed into Defense to better take on physical attackers.

Spikes support from Roserade, Klefki, or Golispod is helpful to wear down bulky Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross and special walls like Snorlax and Porygon2. Toxic Spikes from Dragalge or Galarian Weezing is also helpful against Suicune and the aforementioned special walls. Galarian Weezing in particular also checks common threats to Cresselia like Obstagoon, Heracross, and Zarude. Strong wallbreakers such as Toxtricity, Zygarde-10%, and Obstagoon, on the other hand, can weaken or even defeat these defensive Pokemon so that they are no longer able to stop Cresselia from a Calm Mind sweep. Knock Off support from Seismitoad and Thundurus is helpful to get rid of Zarude's and Incineroar's Heavy-Duty Boots so they can be worn down by entry hazards. Cobalion and Galarian Weezing check Dark-types and switch into Knock Off for Cresselia. If Cresselia is not running Moonlight, Wish support from the likes of Sylveon or Umbreon is useful to keep Cresselia healthy. These two as well as Togekiss can also support Cresselia with Heal Bell in the case Cresselia gets poisoned. As Cresselia loses the Calm Mind war against Reuniclus, a Dark- or Ghost-type such as Zarude, Obstagoon, or Chandelure is crucial to keep Reuniclus in check.

Cresselias incredible bulk allows it to act as a sturdy wincon in RU. However, as a Calm Mind user it faces stiff competition from Reuniclus and Galarian Slowbro, which eighter either have a more useful ability or better coverage. Substitute protects Cresselia from status ailment and prevents to get crippled by Trick. Moonblast gives Cresselia the best possible coverage. Stored Power coupled with Calm Mind is a strong STAB move and helps Cresselia to win Calm Mind wars against Galarian Slowbro, Suicune, and Raikou. However, Cresselia is completely walled by every Dark-type without Moonblast while the missing recovery from Moonlight makes it harder to setup. 32 Special Attack EVs allow Cresselia to get a safe 2HKO on Zarude after one Calm Mind. If not using Moonblast, these EVs can be put into Defense. 176 Speed EVs let Cresselia outsped Modest Toxtricity so Cresselia can setup a Calm Mind first to better take its Boom Burst. The remaining EVs are placed into HP and Defense to better take on physical attackers. However, Cresselia can run less Speed to better take hits from Pokemon like Mienshao, Metagross, or Heracross: 144 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to be faster than Adamant Tyrantrum and Jolly Bewear while 56 Speed EVs let it outsped Adamant Bewear and Modest Sylveon.

Spikes support from Roserade, Klefki, or Golispod is helpful to wear down bulky Steel-types like Registeel or Metagross with which Cresselia struggles. Toxic Spikes from Dragalge or Galarian Weezing is helpful to wear down Dark-types and Suicune as Cresselia struggles with these Pokemon depend on its coverage. Knock Off support is helpful to get rid of Zarudes and Incineroars Heavy-Duty Boots. Beyond that, if Cresselia lacks Moonblast, a teammate that can deal with Dark-types such as Galarian Weezing, Togekiss, or Cobalion is crucial. If Cresselia lacks Stored Power, Zarude, Obstagoon, and Seismitoad are some examples that check Calm Mind users like Reuniclus, Suicune, or Galarian Slowbro. A Cleric such as, Togekiss, Sylveon, or Umbreon, is useful in the case Cresselia gets poisoned. The afore two can also support Cresselia with Wish if it lacks Moonlight.

Cresselia is a solid wall in RU that can check many common threats, such as Cobalion, Zygarde-10%, or Noivern, due to its phenomenal bulk and typing. However, Cresselia is rather passive, vulnerable to status, and weak to common types. Psyshock gives Cresselia a better matchup versus Calm Mind Raikou and lets it hit Roserade and Dragalge harder. Moonblast hits Dark- and Dragon-types like Zarude, Obstagoon, or Zygarde-10% for super effective damage. Moonlight keeps Cresselia healthy throughout the battle. Toxic is used to wear down bulky Pokemon like Seismitoad, Milotic, and Incineroar. Thunder Wave, on the other hand, is helpful when Cresselia is paired with strong but slow attackers like Chandelure, Obstagoon, or Toxtricity as they appreciate the extra provides Speed control by slowing down fast threats for Cresselia's teammates. (Then mention Chandelure, Obstagoon, and Toxtricity in the team sections.) 144 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to outspeed Adamant Tyrantrum and Jolly Bewear. A Colbur Berry is an option for taking on a Dark-type move from Mienshao, Zarude, or Obstagoon better. (I think you can sneak in a mention of its niche as a good TR setter on dedicated Trick Room teams. The set being Trick Room / Ice Beam / Lunar Dance / Moonlight with the EV spread 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpA Bold nature, 56 SpA EVs to OHKO Zydog with Ice Beam.)

Fighting- and Fairy-types like Cobalion, Sylveon, and Galarian Weezing check Dark- and Bug-types like Zarude, Obstagoon, and Heracross, which are troublesome for Cresselia. Fighting-types are also able to deal with Steel-types. A reliable Dark-type, such as Zarude, Incineroar, or Umbreon, on the other hand, is a helpful teammate to check Ghost-types like Chandelure or Alolan Marowak. In return, Cresselia checks Fighting-types for them. Since Cresselia is vulnerable to status moves, especially Toxic, a cleric like Sylveon or Togekiss is a welcome teammate. A status absorber like Jungle Healing Zarude or Roserade can switch into status moves for Cresselia. Fragile Pokemon, such as Zygarde-10%, Mienshao, or Darmanitan, appreciate Cresselia as a reliable defensive backbone. (When writing the team section of an analysis you need to be specific to the mon you're writing about. What Pokemon excels together with Cresselia and what Pokemon do Cresselia need to function at its best. Your comment is fine but generic and doesn't tell the reader why those fragile mons work specifically with Cress and vice versa. Also, I guess they appreciate a defensive backbone but they definitely work without one. A better example would be slow wallbreakers, as they get heavily pressured by faster offensive threats, and having a defensive backbone to fall back to and not lose your wallbreakers is quite nice.)

first of all, swap the sets around, defensive is definitely the more valuable cress set. reason being cress overall bulk and higher spe can justify it to be used over other bulky mons, while cm is harder to justify when both ur main competition, reun and gbro, are both immune to toxic which makes setting up so much easier. with that in mind, ill be qc'ing it in this order u have rn, just rmb to swap the sets around when ure done making changes.

first of all, swap the sets around, defensive is definitely the more valuable cress set. reason being cress overall bulk and higher spe can justify it to be used over other bulky mons, while cm is harder to justify when both ur main competition, reun and gbro, are both immune to toxic which makes setting up so much easier. with that in mind, ill be qc'ing it in this order u have rn, just rmb to swap the sets around when ure done making changes.

Stored Power becomes a powerful STAB move after some Calm Mind boosts and helps Cresselia to win Calm Mind wars against Galarian Slowbro, Suicune, and Raikou. Moonblast covers Dark-types like Zarude, Obstagoon, and Umbreon. Substitute blocks Trick and, more importantly, protects Cresselia from status ailments, allowing it to set up against bulky opposition such as Diancie, Milotic, and Registeel at the cost of reliable recovery. On the other hand, Moonlight allows Cresselia to more easily sustain itself in the long run and better handle threatening Electric-type special attackers such as Toxtricity, Thundurus, and Xurkitree. This also gives Cresselia more opportunities, though it becomes vulnerable to status conditions such as poison. 32 Special Attack EVs allow +1 Cresselia to get a safe 2HKO on Zarude. 176 Speed EVs let Cresselia outsped outspeed Modest Toxtricity so Cresselia can use Calm Mind first to better take its Boomburst. 92 HP EVs give Cresselia a 101 HP Substitute, meaning that a single Seismic Toss from Registeel or Night Shade from Xatu cannot break it. (its not a viable move on xatu) The remaining EVs are placed into Defense to better take on physical attackers. However, Cresselia can run less Speed to better take hits from Pokemon like Mienshao, Metagross, and Zygarde-10%: 144 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to be faster than Adamant Tyrantrum and Jolly Bewear while 56 Speed EVs let it outsped Adamant Bewear and Modest Sylveon. i dont think calm mind cress can really afford to go slower. defensive can though, so id rather you move these benchmarks up there instead of here

Spikes support from Roserade, Klefki, or Golispod is helpful to wear down bulky Steel-types like Registeel or Metagross and special walls like Snorlax and Porygon2. Toxic Spikes from Dragalge or Galarian Weezing is also helpful against Suicune and the aforementioned special walls. Knock Off support from Seismitoad and Thundurus is helpful to get rid of Zarude's and Incineroar's Heavy-Duty Boots so they can be worn down by entry hazards. Cobalion and Galarian Weezing check Dark-types and switch into Knock Off for Cresselia. As Cresselia loses the Calm Mind war against Reuniclus, a Dark- or Ghost-type such as Zarude, Obstagoon, or Chandelure is crucial to keep Reuniclus in check. A cleric such as Togekiss, Sylveon, or Umbreon is useful in the case Cresselia gets poisoned.

this paragraph is better but again, i want more specific stuff here as well

Cresselia is a solid wall in RU that can check many common threats, such as Raikou, Zygarde-10%, and Noivern, due to its phenomenal bulk and typing. However, Cresselia is rather passive and vulnerable to status, and its type leaves it weak to both common threats such as Zarude, Obstagoon, and Chandelure and to the utility moves Knock Off and U-turn. Psyshock gives Cresselia a better matchup against Calm Mind Raikou and hits Roserade and Dragalge harder. Moonblast hits Dark- and Dragon-types like Zarude, Obstagoon, and Zygarde-10%. Moonlight keeps Cresselia healthy throughout the battle. Toxic is used to wear down bulky Pokemon like Seismitoad, Milotic, and Incineroar. Thunder Wave, on the other hand, provides Speed control by slowing down fast threats for Cresselia's teammates. 176 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to outspeed Modest Toxtricity. However, Cresselia can run less Speed to better take hits from Pokemon like Mienshao, Metagross, and Zygarde-10%: 144 Speed EVs allow Cresselia to be faster than Adamant Tyrantrum and Jolly Bewear, (comma) while 56 Speed EVs let it outsped Adamant Bewear and Modest Sylveon. Colbur Berry is an option for taking a Dark-type move from Mienshao, Zarude, or Obstagoon better. Ice Beam can be run with 56 Special Attack to OHKO Zygarde-10% and hit Noivern.

Cresselia works well on balance and more defensive teams, (comma) which because these archetypes appreciate its ability to check common threats and can handle its passive nature. Since Cresselia is vulnerable to status moves, especially Toxic, a cleric like Sylveon or Umbreon is a welcome teammate. A status absorber like Jungle Healing Zarude, Rest Snorlax, and or Roserade can fil this role fix this problem too by switching into status moves for Cresselia. Galarian Weezing is a useful teammate to check strong Dark- and Bug-types such as Zarude, Obstagoon, and Heracross, which are troublesome for Cresselia. In return, Cresselia checks Ground- and Psychic-types like Zygarde-10%, Rhyperior, and Indeedee. A reliable Dark- or Normal-type, on the other hand, such as Zarude, Umbreon, Snorlax, and or Porygon2 checks Ghost-types like Chandelure and Alolan Marowak. In return, Cresselia checks Fighting-types. A bulky Steel-type such as Registeel and or Steelix helps Cresselia to check strong special attackers such as Xurkitree, Toxtricity, and Nasty Plot Togekiss, while Cresselia takes on Ground- and Fighting-types attacks in return. Since bulky setup sweepers such as Calm Mind Suicune, Galarian Slowbro, and Reuniclus take advantage of Cresselia's passive nature, a phazers like Haze Milotic and Clear Smog Gastrodon or strong offensive checks to them like Obstagoon and Zarude are important teammates for Cresselia. Slow wallbreakers like Heracross, Toxtricity, and Tyrantrum pair well with Cresselia because Cresselia can support them with Thunder Wave and switch into revenge killers.

Knock Off support from Seismitoad and Thundurus is helpful to get rid of Zarude's and Incineroar's Heavy-Duty Boots so they can be worn down by entry hazards. Cobalion and Galarian Weezing check Dark-types and switch into Knock Off for Cresselia. If Cresselia is not running Moonlight, Wish support from the likes of Sylveon or Umbreon is useful to keep Cresselia healthy. These two as well as Togekiss can also support Cresselia with Heal Bell in the case Cresselia gets poisoned. As Cresselia loses the Calm Mind war against Reuniclus, a Dark- or Ghost-type such as Zarude, Obstagoon, or Chandelure is crucial to keep Reuniclus in check.
