[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Electrode's excellent Speed tier, powerful Volt Switch, and ability to nail Ground-types like Garchomp and Iron Treads make it an outstanding offensive pivot. Leech Seed lets Hisuian Electrode chip down targets it can't meaningfully damage like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey, while Worry Seed directly forces out these Pokemon and can generate momentum for Hisuian Electrode by denying its checks of their Regenerator, wearing them down. Hisuian Electrode works best with strong physically offensive pivots like Cinderace and Galarian Zapdos that can wear down shared checks like Garchomp; in return, Hisuian Electrode can force in Pokemon they take advantage of like Meloetta, Hisuian Goodra, and Blissey. Entry hazards setters like Landorus-T and Garchomp make solid partners, as the residual damage they provide greatly helps to wear down Hisuian Electrode's switch-ins, such as Hisuain Goodra. In return, Landorus-T can use its slow U-Turn to pivot Hisuian Electrode in, while Garchomp can come in on Pokemon like Heatran for Hisuian Electrode.

has anyone used galvanize explosion yet

name: Magic Guard
move 1: Thunderbolt
move 2: Volt Switch
move 3: Chloroblast / Energy Ball
move 4: Leech Seed / Worry Seed worry is before leech btw, you'll need to change it in the analysis itself iirc
item: Life Orb / Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Magic Guard / Hadron Engine imo boots hadron works when the crowded mg spot is taken by smth else like quaquaval, the main difference is not nuking chomper and treads as well anymore and taking non hazard passive damage (which would be done by the other mg user anyways unless its like gapdos and willo) in exchange for an extra boost on elec moves.
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
probably should mention its role as an offensive pivot here Hisuian Electrode is not as fast as its main competition, Regieleki, but makes up for it by still being fast enough to outspeed a majority of the tier, as well as having a strong secondary STAB in Chloroblast to smack Electric-type checks like Garchomp and Iron Treads. Leech Seed lets Hisuian Electrode chip down targets it can't hit like Hisuian Goodra and Volt Absorb Corviknight vabs is really niche tbh, maybe instead mention Blissey?, while Worry Seed directly forces out the aforementioned Pokemon and can generate momentum for Hisuain Electrode by denying its checks of their Regenerator or immunity ability would rephrase this entirely to only mention removing regen which makes regenvesters rack up damage quickly with hazards up. Magic Guard works best on Hisuian Electrode in order to negate the downside of Chloroblast, while also keeping safe from passive damage that would otherwise wear it down quickly. Hisuian Electrode works best with strong mid-game breakers like Lucario and Ceruledge that can wear down shared checks like Garchomp; in return, Hisuian Electrode can force in Pokemon they take advantage of like Meloetta, Hisuian Goodra, and Blissey. would also mention that pivots like moon, ace form good VoltTurn cores with it that wear down each other's checks with hazards up; on that note maybe mention hazard setters like garchomp and treads since electrode hits like a floppy noodle w/o external chip

I would add a sentence about it appreciating hazard setting teammates to outlast its checks / take advantage of the switches it forces, and another to mention a physical pivot to make a VoltTurn core

QC 1/2!

Notes for Nat

Your body notes were great; however, Hadron Engine is too different of a set to combine into one. Doesn't punish ground-types nearly as hard, usually is supporting a magic guard or surge surfer teammate, etc. Not a bad set by any means, just, not worth the effort to try and do both sets justice here.

Leech Seed lets Hisuian Electrode chip down targets it can't meaningfully damage like Hisuian Goodra and Volt Absorb Corviknight Blissey volt corv is really niche at best. the additional recovery you get from leech might be worth a mention, helectrode is frail and appreciates any little bit of recovery it gets, while Worry Seed directly forces out the aforementioned Pokemon and can generate momentum for Hisuian Electrode by denying its checks of their Regenerator, wearing them down. or immunity ability immunity abilities to electric and especially grass are very niche and not worth mentioning in a mini. Hisuian Electrode works best with strong mid-game wallbreakers like Lucario and Ceruledge One of the most important things about Hisuian Electrode is Volt Switch making it a great partner for physically offensive pivots like Cinderace, Galarian Zapdos, and Slither Wing, should talk about VoltTurn wallbreakers here instead that can wear down shared checks like Garchomp; in return, Hisuian Electrode can force in Pokemon they take advantage of like Meloetta, Hisuian Goodra, and Blissey. Entry hazards setters like Landorus-T and Garchomp make solid partners, as the entry hazards they provide greatly help to wear down Hisuian Electrode's switch-ins, such as Hisuain Goodra. In return, Landorus-T can use its slow U-Turn to pivot Hisuian Electrode in, while Garchomp can come in on Pokemon like Heatran for Hisuian Electrode. could also add hazard removers like Corv or Treads as good partners, helectrode is frail and can be hard to bring in with hazards up.
