[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Samurott sets itself apart as the tier's best offensive entry hazard setter thanks to its ability to set up Spikes on even Sablenite users, high Attack and Speed stats, and amazing movepool, fitting on a wide variety of teams ranging from hyper offense to semi-stall. Swords Dance makes it a wonderful wallbreaker, letting it pressure foes like Arceus-Water and Corviknight better; alternatively, it can run Flip Turn to pivot out against common switch-ins like defensive Eternatus and Arceus-Fairy and gain momentum. Sucker Punch can be used to have better outs versus faster, weakened foes and notably versus Psychic-types like Agility Lunala, Iron Boulder, and Deoxys-S, while Taunt is an option to deny status, recovery, and hazards from foes like Toxapex, Arceus-Water, and Red Orb Hippowdon. Encore can also be used as the last move to lock foes such as the Arceus formes into a non-damaging move like Calm Mind, rendering them incapable of stopping Hisuian Samurott from stacking Spikes or setting up with Swords Dance. A wide range of offensive teammates benefit from Hisuian Samurott's ability to stack up Spikes, the most notable of them being setup sweepers such as Gouging Fire and offensive Eternatus and pivots like Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos. Hisuian Samurott is extremely vulnerable to Altarianite Extreme Speed users, especially Dragonite, so checks to them such as Hisuian Arcanine, Latiasite Solgaleo, and Arceus-Ground are appreciated. It also has a hard time against foes like Arceus-Fairy, Urshifu-R, and Raging Bolt, so partners like Eternatus, Red Orb Lugia, and Altarianite Dragonite should be acknowledged.

Hisuian Samurott sets itself apart as the tier's best offensive entry hazard setter thanks to its access to Ceaseless Edge, allowing it to set up hazards on the face of even Sablenite users like Corviknight and Blissey I wanna say most of this is dex info, and that you could probably just mention its ability to set up hazards on everything so its something like "thanks to its ability to set up entry hazards on even Sablenite users" or something like that, high Attack and Speed stats, and amazing movepool—fitting on a wide variety of teams ranging from hyper offense to semi-stall. Swords Dance makes it a wonderful wallbreaker, letting it pressure foes like Arceus-Water and Corviknight better; alternatively, it can run Flip Turn to pivot out of common switch-ins like defensive Eternatus and Arceus-Fairy and gain momentum. Sucker Punch can be used to have better outs versus Psychic-types like Agility Lunala, Iron Boulder, and Deoxys-S It's also generally good at picking up KOes on weakened foes, include that somewhere, while Taunt is also an option to deny status, recovery, and hazards from foes like Toxapex, Arceus-Water, and Red Orb Hippowdon. Encore can also be used as the last move to lock foes such as the Arceus formes into a non-damaging move like Calm Mind, rendering them incapable of stopping Hisuian Samurott from stacking up Spikes with Ceaseless Edge hazards or setting up with Swords Dance. A wide range of offensive teammates benefit from Hisuian Samurott's ability to stack up Spikes, most notable of them being setup sweepers such as Gouging Fire and offensive Eternatus and pivots like Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos. Hisuian Samurott is extremely vulnerable to Altarianite Extreme Speed users, especially Altarianite You've already specified that its Altarianite Dragonite, so checks to them such as Hisuian Arcanine, Latiasite Solgaleo, and Arceus-Ground are appreciated. It also has a hard time against foes like Arceus-Fairy, Urshifu-R, and Raging Bolt, so partners like Eternatus, Red Orb Lugia, and Altarianite Dragonite should be acknowledged.
