[SET COMMENTS]
Crobat's immunity to Ground-type moves and ability to quickly spread Toxic, even through Substitute, is invaluable for Poison teams; it also switches into attacks such as Choice Scarf Landorus-T's Earthquake and Tapu Bulu's High Horsepower that give Poison teams trouble. Brave Bird is Crobat's primary STAB move and allows it to hit foes such as Choice Band Galarian Zapdos, Tapu Bulu, and Tornadus-T, which Poison struggles to deal with long-term. Toxic is great on Crobat, as it allows Poison to make progress against Pokemon it struggles to break through such as Landorus-T, Mantine, and Kyurem. Additionally, paired with Infiltrator, it allows Crobat to use Toxic against prominent Substitute users such as Bulk Up Landorus-T, SubRoost Kyurem, and Nasty Plot Hydreigon. Defog allows Crobat to keep entry hazards off the field, allowing its slower defensive teammates such as Amoonguss and Galarian Slowking to remain healthy throughout the course of the battle. 184 Speed EVs allow Crobat to outspeed Tornadus-T, which lets Crobat catch it with a Toxic or Brave Bird, while the rest of the EVs are put into HP and Special Defense so Crobat can get off a Toxic on SubRoost Kyurem.

Amoonguss appreciates Crobat's Defog, as it can continuously regenerate health with Regenerator and doesn't have to worry about being overwhelmed when helping Crobat by switching into physical attackers Poison struggles with such as Garchomp and Zeraora. Nidoking serves as an excellent teammate, as it also appreciates Crobat's entry hazard removal and deals with Steel- and Electric-types that Crobat can't do anything to such as Celesteela, Ferrothorn, and Tapu Koko. Drapion and Skuntank are both very helpful to Crobat and Poison in general, as they provide a mandatory Psychic immunity, being able to switch into the likes of Hatterene and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Galarian Slowking is a secondary switch-in to Psychic-type moves from Latios and Jirachi; it also deals with special attackers such as Alolan Ninetales and Heatran and can combat Kyurem by itself after Crobat has poisoned it. Toxapex finds itself supporting Poison teams by dealing with setup users such as Swords Dance Weavile, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and Swords Dance Aegislash with Haze. Finally, Nihilego helps defeat Galarian Moltres, as it is able to take both of its attacks and threaten it with Power Gem.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Poison
--------
U-turn can be opted for instead of Toxic in order to gain more momentum throughout the game and can help get in threats such as Nidoking against Steel- and Flying-type teams. Taunt can also be used over Toxic in order to prevent setup sweepers such as Dragon Dance Dragonite, Gravity Landorus-T, Nasty Plot Hydreigon, and Calm Mind Clefable while also denying Defog from Pokemon such as Tornadus-T.

Crobat's immunity to Ground-type moves is provides to be invaluable for Poison teams as it switches into Ground-type attacks the rest of Poison doesn't appreciate, such as Choice Scarf Landorus-T and Excadrill's Earthquake (side note btw, you shouldn't be swapping Bat into Steel's Excadrill, as SD sets can use it as setup food. Maybe a different example would be better?) (Also, it would be nice to state its niche [Infiltrator Toxic + Fast mon thing] as early as the first sentence; its why you're using it over G.Wheeze [which is just better defensively]). Brave Bird is Crobat's primary STAB and allows it to hit foes such as Crawdaunt and Hydreigon which Poison struggles to deal with long-term (both examples seems to be kinda weird, in a sense that Hydrei is one of the mons you threaten with Toxic, not BB, while Craw most certainly OHKOs you while you barely do 50% to it. Maybe Choice Band G.Zappy, picking off Torn-T/Tapu Bulu would be better examples). Roost is mandatory on Crobat as it lets Crobat recover its HP and remain healthy in a battle (You probably don't need to describe Roost, Imo). Defog allows Crobat to keep entry hazards away from its team, allowing its slower defensive teammates such as Amoonguss and Galarian Slowking to remain healthy throughout the course of a battle. Toxic is great on Crobat as it allows Poison to make progress against Pokemon it struggles to break through such as Landorus-T, Mantine, and Kyurem. Additionally, paired with Infiltrator, it allows Crobat to use Toxic against prominent Substitute users such as Bulk Up Landorus-T, SubRoost Kyurem, and Nasty Plot Hydreigon. 184 Speed EVs allow Crobat to outspeed Tornadus-T, which lets you catch it with a Toxic or Brave Bird which lets you cripple it, alongside being able to revenge kill Nasty Plot Tornadus-T after chip damage, while the rest of the EVs are put into HP and Special Defense.
*Again, in analyses, "you" is banned. Rephrase this to a 3rd person point of view
*Also, it would be nice to tell why Spdef>Def is desired on crobat


Amoonguss appreciates Crobat's removal of entry hazards, as it can continuously regenerate health with Regenerator and don't have to worry about being overwhelmed when helping Crobat by switching into Electric-type moves. (More than Electric-type moves, it noms Ground-types like Garchomp and (non CB) Excadrill, and checks some phys attackers [Zeraora, Dragapult, Dnite] in its stead. Elec-type moves are better handled by Nidoking) Nidoking serves as an excellent teammate as it once again appreciates Crobat's hazard removal, while Nidoking deals with Steel-type Pokemon that Crobat can't do anything to such as Celesteela and Ferrothorn (It deals with Electric-types too). Drapion is very helpful to Crobat and Poison as it provides a mandatory Psychic immunity, being able to switch into the likes of Hatterene and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Additionally, Galarian Slowking is also greatly assisted by Crobat's hazard removal and can help switch into Ice-type moves that Crobat can't handle such as Freeze Dry from Kyurem and Alolan Ninetales. It also helps combat Heatran, another Steel-type that Crobat fails to do anything against. Finally, Galarian Slowking is also a secondary switchin to Psychic-type moves from Latios, Choice Specs Jirachi, and the aforementioned Tapu Lele. (You don't really need 3 sentences for Glowking, condense this to 1 or 2 sentences. Also, after landing Toxic on Sub Kyu, Glowking can sit on it yei)

*Add Toxapex, its stinky and deals with Phys Ice-types like Weevil
*Add Nihilego, it deals with Galarian Moltres which Crobat doesn't always check, and is also another fast mon

Crobat's immunity to Ground-type moves is invaluable for Poison teams as it switches into Ground-type attacks the rest of Poison doesn't appreciate, such as Choice Scarf Landorus-T's Earthquake and Tapu Bulu's High Horsepower. (as I said earlier, the Ground immunity doesn't really make Brobat unique; Galarian Weezing does that too. It would be better to highlight what separates [Infil Toxic + Speed tier] it from G.Weeze at the start of the analysis) Brave Bird is Crobat's primary STAB and allows it to hit foes such as Choice Band Galarian Zapdos, Tapu Bulu, and Tornadus-T which Poison struggles to deal with long-term. Toxic is great on Crobat as it allows Poison to make progress against Pokemon it struggles to break through such as Landorus-T, Mantine, and Kyurem. Additionally, paired with Infiltrator, it allows Crobat to use Toxic against prominent Substitute users such as Bulk Up Landorus-T, SubRoost Kyurem, and Nasty Plot Hydreigon. Defog allows Crobat to keep entry hazards away from its team, allowing its slower defensive teammates such as Amoonguss and Galarian Slowking to remain healthy throughout the course of a battle. 184 Speed EVs allow Crobat to outspeed Tornadus-T, which lets Crobat catch it with a Toxic or Brave Bird which lets Crobat cripple or revenge-kill it, alongside being able to revenge kill Nasty Plot Tornadus-T after chip damage, while the rest of the EVs are put into HP and Special Defense so Crobat can get off a Toxic on SubRoost Kyurem.

Amoonguss appreciates Crobat's removal of entry hazards, as it can continuously regenerate health with Regenerator and don't have to worry about being overwhelmed when helping Crobat by switching into Ground- and Electric- type moves from Pokemon such as Garchomp and Zeraora (Brobat is immune to Ground-type moves btw, but we know that Garchomp/Exca has coverage moves for it. Maybe reword this to Phys attackers such as Chomp and Zeraora instead?). Nidoking serves as an excellent teammate as it once again appreciates Crobat's entry hazard removal, while Nidoking deals with Steel- and Electric-type Pokemon that Crobat can't do anything to such as Celesteela, Ferrothorn, and Tapu Koko. Drapion is very helpful to Crobat and Poison as it provides a mandatory Psychic immunity, being able to switch into the likes of Hatterene and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Additionally, Galarian Slowking is a secondary switch-in to Psychic-type moves from Latios and Jirachi, can help switch deals with special attackers such as Alolan Ninetales and Heatran, into Ice-type moves that Crobat can't handle such as Freeze Dry from Kyurem and Alolan Ninetales. It also helps combat Heatran, is a secondary switchin to Psychic-type moves from Latios, Choice Specs Jirachi, and can combat Kyurem by itself after it has been poisoned by Crobat. Toxapex finds itself supporting Poison teams by dealing with setup users such as Swords Dance Weavile with Haze. (it does so much more than just weevil tho, more examples would be nicer) Finally, Nihilego helps defeat Galarian Moltres as it is able to take both of its attacks and threaten it with Power Gem.
