Glimmora is one of the metagame's best suicide leads because of its access to utility moves such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Memento as well as its signature ability Toxic Debris. Earth Power threatens Iron Treads and Gholdengo, which could otherwise block Mortal Spin, and does a lot of damage to Pokemon like Chi-Yu, Miraidon, Skeledirge, and Toxapex. Alternatively, Power Gem can OHKO lead Iron Bundle and Chien(AH)-Pao. Memento grants a free switch for Glimmora's teammates, such as Double Dance Koraidon and Miraidon, Great Tusk, and Chien-Pao to set up, and it also blocks potential attempts at hazard removal. Tera Ghost can block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk and Iron Treads if necessary. Glimmora best fits on hyper offense teams with Pokemon like Taunt Iron Bundle, Annihilape, and Gholdengo to block entry hazard removal, and setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Koraidon, Calm Mind Miraidon, and Swords Dance Chien-Pao to take advantage of the entry hazards it lays. Grimmsnarl is also a good partner that can set up dual screens and use Prankster Taunt to prevent Defog or entry hazards from foes.

AMQC , just a few thoughts implement what you wanna
Glimmora best fits on hyper offensive, as offensive threats like Koraidon, Miraidon, Iron Bundle, Chien Pao or Flutter Mane can take advantage of the entry hazards and prevent opportunities for your opponent to remove them.
I'd mention here which of the following pokemon prevent opportunities, e.g. bundle with taunt stops defog

Ghost types like Gholdengo can block Defog, Rapin Spin, and Mortal Spin, but is weak to Great Tusk and Iron Treads.
I dont think Gholdengo being weak to Great Tusk and Iron Treads is relevant so i'd suggest removing that part (need confirmation with qc tho). also "ghost types like" also seems redundant since its only gholdengo that blocks spin,mortal spin, and defog

I'd also mention Grimmsnarl in teammates since screens + hazard is a formidable combination imo plus it can taunt opposing Glimmora in a HO vs HO matchup

- Remove the extra space between the colon and the first letter for Move 2 to Move 4.

- The move order should be - Stealth Rock / Spikes - Mortal Spin - Earth Power / Power Gem - Memento / Spikes.
- Implement this and reflect this change by reordering in set comments.

Glimmora's Glimmora is one of the metagame's best suicide leads with because of its access to utility moves such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Memento, as well as its signature ability Toxic Debris, allowing it to set up Toxic Spikes whenever it is hit with a physical attack. Additionally, Mortal Spin keeps hazards off your side of the field while also poisoning your foes removes entry hazards while poisoning foes. Earth Power threatens Iron Treads and Gholdengo, who could otherwise block Mortal Spin, as well as doing a lot of damage to Pokemon like Chi-Yu, Miraidon, Skeledirge, or and Toxapex. Alternatively, Power Gem can chip Corviknight and OHKO lead Iron Bundle and Chien Pao. . chipping corviknight isn't significant, you just Memento on it, and fix the double periods at the end of the sentence. Memento grants a free switch free switch? kinda misleading since the mon just dies lol, phrase this differently and blocks block potential attempts at hazard removal, and also provide good opportunities for teammates like Double Dance Koraidon and Miraidon, Great Tusk, and Chien-Pao to set up. as well as provides a teammate an opportunity to setup thanks to the opponent’s lowered offenses. Tera Ghost blocks Rapid Spin while removing its weaknesses to from Great Tusk and Iron Treads. removing weakness is not relevant at all, you just need to block the spin and memento out of there. Glimmora best fits on hyper offensive offense teams with Pokemon like Taunt Flutter Mane or nah not him Taunt Iron Bundle, (AC) Annihilape, (AC) and Gholdengo to stop Defog to block entry hazard removal, or and setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Koraidon, Calm Mind Miraidon, (AC) and Swords Dance Chien-Pao to take advantage of the entry hazards it lays. Gholdengo can block Defog, Rapin Spin, and Mortal Spin while Annihilape can block Rapid Spin while potentially gaining Rage Fist boosts during exchanges with either Great Tusks or Iron Treads. this just seems super wordy so I moved ape and ghol to the previous sentence Grimmsnarl is also a good partner who can set up Screens screens is not capitalized I believe, double check this pls and use Prankster Taunt to prevent Defog or your opponent from setting their own entry hazards from the opponent. Additionally Pokemon like Espathra or set-up variants of Miraidon or Koraidon can set up with Memento or while your opponent is trying to remove hazards. you have already mentioned miraidon and koraidon, espathra could just be mentioned earlier but I dont think its worth.

add the credits part at the end, include your name in writer and mine in qc check
good work, just fixed some little things and reworded stuff so its not a lot, 1/2

Additionally, Mortal removes entry hazards while poisoning foes.
Mortal Spin*

Tera Ghost blocks Rapid Spin from Great Tusk and Iron Treads.
I think it should be mentioned how this is something to only use if 100% necessary. Removing tera with the lead for a hyper offense team is typically quite bad since the sweepers get worse, so unless you don't need to tera your offensive mons for them to win or just absolutely need hazards up it's not usually ideal which should be touched on a bit.

Glimmora is one of the metagame's best suicide leads because of its access to utility moves such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Memento,(RC) as well as its signature ability Toxic Debris.(AP), allowing it to set up Toxic Spikes when it is hit with a physical attack. Additionally, Mortal Spin removes entry hazards while poisoning foes. this can all be classified as "dex info" aka stuff the reader either already knows or can google to find out, so best to remove it Earth Power threatens Iron Treads and Gholdengo, who which could otherwise block Mortal Spin, as well as doing and does a lot of damage to Pokemon like Chi-Yu, Miraidon, Skeledirge, and Toxapex. Alternatively, Power Gem can OHKO lead Iron Bundle and Chien(AH)-Pao. Memento grants switch initiative and block potential attempts at hazard removal, and also provide good opportunities for teammates like Double Dance Koraidon and Miraidon, Great Tusk, and Chien-Pao to set up.

Grimmsnarl is also a good partner who that can set up dual screens and use Prankster Taunt to prevent Defog or entry hazards from the opponent foes "the opponent" sounds like you're talking about the actual player and not the pokemon imo.
