move 2: Hex

[SET COMMENTS]
Frillish is a tank that can shrug off powerful special hits and take physical hits decently well. Frillish's typing makes it a deterrent for Porygon and Mienfoo, preventing it from spamming Tri Attack and Ice Beam or High Jump Kick. Its Fire resistance causes issues for sun teams as well. Scald's chance to inflict burn makes even physical attackers with good matchups such as Pawniard and Ferroseed hesitant to switch in. Even on other Pokemon, burns are helpful to empower Hex. Will-O-Wisp is a more consistent way to spread burns. Cursed Body, together with this mixed EV spread, lets it sometimes win one-on-one against lesser offensive threats like Foongus by disabling their super effective moves.

Pokemon that appreciate Frillish's presence include Grookey and Steel-types such as Pawniard and Ferroseed since they are weak to Fire-types, which Frillish can switch into repeatedly. Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr appreciate Frillish's ability to deal with Psychic-types like Abra and Natu. They return the favor by dealing with Steel-types that cause Frillish trouble. Fire-types like Ponyta and Poison-types like Koffing and Foongus are the best ways to deal with Grookey and Ferroseed, which force Frillish out.

Other Options
=============
Shadow Ball is an option for instant pressure over Hex. A Choice Scarf set with Water Spout is an option, but the presence of Grassy Glide Grookey and better Choice Scarf users such as Porygon make it inconsistent. Trick is an option on Choice Scarf sets to deal with defensive checks such as Ferroseed.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Ferroseed**: Ferroseed is an effective Frillish counter, thanks to its Water resistance and general bulk. It also threatens Frillish with Knock Off and Giga Drain, taking turns spent on Recover to set entry hazards. However, it has to be careful of being burned by Scald or Will-O-Wisp, which strengthens Hex.

**Grookey**: Grookey is the best offensive check to Frillish. However, its frailty and fear of burns means it cannot switch in easily.

**Pawniard**: Pawniard is one of the biggest threats to Frillish with Knock Off. Although it must be generally wary of Will-O-Wisp and Scald, it can still cause issues for Frillish when burned

**Super Effective Coverage**: Frillish needs to be careful even against threats it is supposed to check. Ponyta and Psychic-types like Galarian Ponyta, Abra, and Natu can have Wild Charge or Shadow Ball. It should also be cautious of Knock Off from other Pokemon it checks, such as Mareanie. Pokemon like Koffing, Staryu, and Porygon also pose a threat with Thunderbolt.

**Magnemite**: Magnemite threatens Frillish with its super effective Electric-type attacks, and can preserve momentum with Volt Switch.

Paragraph 1:
Frillish plays the role of is a special tank that can take shrug off powerful hits thanks to its impressive bulk and access to Recover. It can take physical hits decently well if required. Water-Ghost grants Frillish a plethora of resistances and immunities, most importantly to Fighting-type attacks, the STAB of the Tier King, Mienfoo. Its ability Cursed Body can disable contact moves, letting it win matchups it would otherwise lose. Eviolite provides it with great bulk, letting it take hits much better. Will-o-Wisp synergises well with STAB Hex, doubling its power while also weakening physical attackers Frillish would otherwise fear. Scald doubles as Water-Type STAB and a status move, thanks to its 30% burn chance that strengthens Hex. This EV spread lets it have good Special Bulk and HP while also ensuring it doesn't become frail physically, with the Speed EV's letting it hit 11 speed and outspeed Timburr. (This paragraph is very disorganized.)
- If you want to discuss its typing, you should be discussing how Frillish walls sun teams and prevent Choice Scarf Porygon from freely spamming Tri Attack in addition to deterring Mienfoo from clicking HJK constantly
- Then, you can quickly talk about how Scald can potentially cripple switch-ins like Pawniard and Ferroseed (and empowers Hex) and how Will-O-Wisp is a more consistent way to spread burns
- Lastly, you can talk about how the EV spread and Cursed Body allow Frillish to beat weak offensive threats like Foongus one-on-one

Paragraph 2:
Pokemon that appreciate Frillish's presence include the Steel-types such as Pawniard and Ferroseed, as well as Grookey who are weak to opposing Fire-types whom Frillish can switch into repeatedly. Other beneficiaries include physically frail Pokemon, such as Diglett, thanks to Frillish spreading burns weakening the opposing physical attackers, such as non-Guts Timburr. Lastly, Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr appreciate Frillish's ability to deal with opposing Psychic-types like Abra or Natu.(move the sentence about them helping Frillish against Steel-types here) Frillish is vulnerable to Grassy Glide from Grookey, unable to stay in against it, as well as Ferroseed which counters it completely. Fire-types like Ponyta and Poison-types with Fire-type coverage moves, like Koffing, are the best way to deal with them. Dark-types like Pawniard also cause issues for it, for which it appreciates support from Mienfoo and other Fighting-types.

Other Options
=============
A Choice Scarf Frillish set with Water Spout is also used at times, however, this is inconsistent due to requiring hazard removal to prevent it getting weaker, as well as the presence of Grassy Glide Grookey and better Scarfers such as Porygon. Ferroseed is still a total wall to it, forcing it out, often piling on hazard chip. (This is excessively wordy; mention Trick with Choice Scarf to cripple Ferroseed)
- Mention Shadow Ball as an alternative to Hex

Checks and Counters
===================
**Ferroseed**: Ferroseed is the best counter to Frillish,(RC) taking its hits easily thanks to its Water resistance and general bulk. It also threatens Frillsih(spelling) with Knock Off and Giga Drain or taking advantage of it needing to Recover repeatedly by setting up Stealth Rock or Spikes. However, it has to be careful of being chipped by repeated hexes after being burnt crippled by Will-O-Wisp and chipped by Hex.

**Grookey**: Grookey is the best offensive check to Frillish,(RC) with its STAB Grassy Glide or Wood Hammer, as well as Knock Off. However, its frailty and lack of Eviolite means it cannot switch in easily, especially because it risks being burnt.

**Pawniard**: Pawniard is one of the biggest threats to Frillish,(RC) with its STAB Knock Off threatening to KO from full health. It can often set up rocks as it forces out Frillish. It has to be wary of being burnt, but it can still cause issues for Frillish even when burnt. (Condense this section down; pls also write Stealth Rock out.)

**Super Effective Coverage(remove space)**: Frillish needs to be careful even against threats it is supposed to check, namely Psychic-Types like Abra and Natu, as well as Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta due to their access to Shadow Ball for the former two and Wild Charge for the latter duo.(Fix the wording for this sentence pls) It should also be cautious of Knock Off from other Pokemon it checks, such as Mareanie. (Mention how it needs to be careful of stuff like Thunderbolt Staryu, Koffing, and Porygon)

- Add section on Magnemite

Frillish is a special tank that can shrug off powerful hits thanks to its impressive bulk and Recover. It can take physical hits decently well. Frillish's typing lets it act as a deterrent for Porygon, preventing it from spamming Tri Attack and Ice Beam, while doing the same with Mienfoo's High Jump Kick. The typing also lets it cause issues for Sun teams, resisting their main mode of damage. Scald's chance to inflict burn causes even Pokemon with a good matchup against it. (RP) such as Pawniard or Ferroseed hesitant to switch in and risk the chance of crippling their physical attacks. Even on other Pokemon, burns are helpful as they empower Frillish's Hex. (you need a sentence that explains why Hex is the STAB of choice - powerful with a burn, etc) Will-O-Wisp is a more consistent way to spread burns. Its ability Cursed Body, together with this EV spread lets it sometimes win one-on-one against the lesser offensive threats like Foongus by disabling their super-effective moves.

Pokemon that appreciate Frillish's presence include the Steel-types such as Pawniard and Ferroseed, as well as Grookey who are weak to opposing Fire-types whom Frillish can switch into repeatedly.

Fire-types like Ponyta and Poison-types with Fire-type coverage moves, like Koffing, (RC) and Foongus are the best way to deal with them.

Other Options
=============
A Choice Scarf Frillish set with Water Spout is also used is an option, but the presence of Grassy Glide Grookey and better Scarfers Choice Scarf users such as Porygon make it inconsistent. Shadow Ball is also an option for instant pressure over Hex. Ferroseed is a big issue for almost all its sets, hence Frillish's Choice Scarf set with Trick to cripple it. (I think this overstates the importance of Ferroseed. Just mention that Trick is an option on scarf sets to limit defensive checks like Ferro)

Checks and Counters
===================
**Ferroseed**: Ferroseed is the best counter to Frillish, is an effective Frillish check thanks to its Water resistance and general bulk. It also threatens Frillish with Knock Off and Giga Drain or taking advantage of it needing to Recover repeatedly by setting up Stealth Rock or Spikes. However, it has to be careful of being crippled by Will-O-Wisp and chipped by Hex. (I'd prefer to dial back the strength of the language here. I didn't do anything to the last sentence, but I think the burn is more important for Hex damage than for "crippling" Ferro)

**Grookey**: Grookey is the best offensive check to Frillish. However, its frailty means it cannot switch in easily, especially because it risks being burnt.

**Pawniard**: Pawniard is one of the biggest threats to Frillish with Knock Off. Although it must be wary of Will-O-Wisp and Scald, it can still cause issues for Frillish even when burnt.

**Super Effective Coverage**: Frillish needs to be careful even against threats it is supposed to check, namely Psychic-Types like Abra and Natu, as well as Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta due to their access to Shadow Ball and Wild Charge respectively. It should also be cautious of Knock Off from other Pokemon it checks, such as Mareanie. Pokemon like Koffing, Staryu and Porygon also pose a threat with Thunderbolt.
