Thanks to its impressive Special Attack and Speed, Inteleon acts as a threatening wallbreaker that can heavily punish teams reliant on using Pokemon like Roserade and Rotom-W as their Water-resistant Pokemon. However, Inteleon is held back by its inability to threaten bulky Water-types like Milotic and Mantine, as well as by its lack of defensive utility compared to other Water-types like Rotom-W that can more effectively check threats like Rhyperior and Gigalith. Hydro Pump is Inteleon's strongest move and can be used to 2HKO Pokemon like Roserade and Sylveon, while Surf is more reliable and can still OHKO targets like Incineroar and Lucario. Ice Beam lets Inteleon pressure Grass-types like Roserade, Rotom-C, and Celebi and prevent Noivern from freely switching in. U-turn helps Inteleon keep momentum in matchups against Pokemon like Milotic and Umbreon that would otherwise wall it. Dark Pulse is an option over Surf to prevent Inteleon from being walled by Jellicent; however, it is inferior in every other matchup.

Teammates that can pressure bulky Water-types like Milotic are essential partners. Roserade, Machamp, and Heliolisk are great options; Roserade can also set Spikes to punish these switch-ins, and all three greatly appreciate Inteleon bringing them in safely with U-turn. Due to its poor bulk, Inteleon can't take advantage of the defensive utility its typing provides, so Pokemon like Gigalith and Incineroar that can help pivot into strong Fire-types like Chandelure and Darmanitan are helpful. Gigalith can also check Noivern, and Incineroar can bring Inteleon in on Pokemon like Rhyperior and Galarian Weezing with Parting Shot. Steel-types like Bronzong and Escavalier can check Grass-types like Celebi and Roserade that can take advantage of Inteleon locking into its STAB moves; Escavalier in particular can help overwhelm shared checks like Rotom-W and Noivern, and Escavalier appreciates Inteleon offensively checking Incineroar for it. Noivern and Choice Scarf Flygon can offensively check Roserade and Celebi and clean late-game; Noivern can also pressure checks to Inteleon like Heliolisk and Golisopod and can bring it in on Rhyperior and Gigalith with U-turn, while Flygon can check Dragon Dance Haxorus, which might attempt to set up on Inteleon locked into a Water-type move. Shift Gear Toxtricity is another late-game cleaner that appreciates Inteleon pressuring its checks like Rhyperior and Gigalith. Toxic Spikes setters like Roserade and offensive Galarian Weezing can help pressure switch-ins to Inteleon like Milotic, Jellicent, and Heliolisk.

Due to its fantastic speed tier, Inteleon is a decent option for a Choice Scarf user that can revenge kill dangerous setup sweepers like +1 Dragon Dance Haxorus, +2 Shift Gear Toxtricity, and +2 Shell Smash Polteageist. Hydro Pump lets Inteleon revenge kill weakened threats like Toxtricity and Cobalion, while Surf lets it more reliably hit Pokemon like Darmanitan and Rhyperior and clean up weakened teams. Ice Beam allows Inteleon to revenge kill Haxorus and Noivern and threaten Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi. Inteleon uses U-turn to maintain momentum against switch-ins like Sylveon, Rotom-W, and Milotic. A Timid nature allows Inteleon to outspeed +2 Toxtricity and +2 Timid Polteageist. Alternatively, if Inteleon doesn't need to deal with those threats, a Modest nature can be run improve its damage output versus targets like Roserade and Gigalith.

Choice Scarf Inteleon fits on offensive teams that greatly appreciate its ability to revenge kill fast Pokemon like Noivern and Dragon Dance Haxorus. Teammates like Roserade, Celebi, and Heliolisk can break through the bulky Water-types like Milotic and Rotom-W that wall Inteleon, and in return it can bring them in safely on these Pokemon with U-turn and revenge kill Noivern and Haxorus. Entry hazards from Pokemon like Roserade and Gigalith can help offset Choice Scarf Inteleon's somewhat low damage output and help pressure its switch-ins more; Gigalith can also check Pokemon like Chandelure, Noivern, and Choice Specs Sylveon that can take advantage of Inteleon locking into certain moves. Noivern can check Grass-types like Celebi, Rotom-C, and Roserade for Inteleon, and it appreciates Inteleon offensively checking Rhyperior and faster Pokemon that it can't revenge kill, like Dragon Dance Haxorus and Shift Gear Toxtricity. Wallbreakers like Escavalier, Darmanitan, and Pangoro can weaken or remove Inteleon's checks such as Roserade, Rotom-W, and Noivern, allowing it to clean late-game with Surf; Escavalier in particular can also reliably check Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi for Inteleon, and these Pokemon all appreciate Inteleon revenge killing their checks like Noivern.

Inteleon is however held back by its inability to threaten bulky Water-types like Milotic and Mantine, and the lack of defensive utility it offers as a Water-type compared to options like Rotom-W that can more effectively check threats like Rhyperior and Gigalith. Surf gives Inteleon a more spammable Water-type STAB move that can still OHKO targets like Incineroar and Lucario, however Inteleon is often reliant on Hydro Pump to get through Pokemon like Sylveon, and Roserade which aren't 2HKO'd by Surf. Ice Beam lets Inteleon pressure Grass-types like Roserade, Rotom-C, and Celebi, and prevent Noivern from freely switching in.

Due to its poor bulk, Inteleon has to rely on offensively checking Pokemon like Chandelure, maybe say 'Due to its poor bulk, it can't take advantage of the defensive utility its typing provides, so these pokemon help pivot into strong Fire-types like Chandelure and Darmanitan.' Flows a bit better. Then in a new line lead into this other stuff about checking Vern etc. therefore Pokemon such as Gigalith and Incineroar that can switch into it are helpful; Gigalith can also check Noivern for Inteleon, while Incineroar can bring it in on Pokemon like Rhyperior and Weezing-Galar with Parting Shot. Steel-types like Bronzong and Escavalier can help to check Grass-types like Celebi and Roserade that can take advantage of Inteleon locking into its STAB moves, Escavalier in particular can help to overwhelm their shared checks like Rotom-W and Noivern, and appreciates Inteleon offensively checking Incineroar for it.

Due to its fantastic speed tier, Inteleon is a decent option for a Choice Scarf user that can revenge kill dangerous set up sweepers like +1 Dragon Dance Haxorus, +2 Shift Gear Toxtricity, and +2 Shell Smash Polteageist. It faces competition from Choice Scarf Flygon, however, which can also check the former two and provide a crucial Ground-typing and Electric immunity. I really don't think you need to compare the two, Flygon only beats Toxtricity if it switches in hard as it Shift Gears before it can get the throat spray boost. The main overlap is with Haxorus but they have their differences. It is also heavily reliant on Hydro Pump to do significant damage to targets like Toxtricity and Cobalion. Surf gives Inteleon a reliable STAB move to clean up weakened teams, while Ice Beam allows Inteleon to revenge kill Haxorus and Noivern, and threaten Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi. U-turn lets Inteleon maintain momentum against switch-ins like Sylveon, Rotom-Wash, and Milotic. A Timid Nature allows Inteleon to outspeed +2 Toxtricity and +2 Timid Polteageist, however a Modest nature can be ran if Inteleon isn't required to deal with them to improve its damage output versus targets like Roserade and Gigalith.

Ice Beam lets Inteleon pressure Grass-types like Roserade, Rotom-C, and Celebi, and prevent Noivern from freely switching in. U-turn helps Inteleon keep momentum in matchups against Pokemon like Milotic and Umbreon that would otherwise wall it.

Other late-game cleaners such as Shift Gear Toxtricity appreciate Inteleon pressuring its checks like Rhyperior and Gigalith. Entry hazard support can be pretty beneficial in supporting breakers so I'd bring it up here. Toxic Spikes specifically punishes a lot of its Water-type switch-ins.

Due to its fantastic speed tier, Inteleon is a decent option for a Choice Scarf user that can revenge kill dangerous set up sweepers like +1 Dragon Dance Haxorus, +2 Shift Gear Toxtricity, and +2 Shell Smash Polteageist. It is, however, heavily reliant on Hydro Pump to do significant damage to targets like Toxtricity and Cobalion. Reword this Hydro Pump line and just say that it reliably revenge kills your listed examples. I think a better way to highlight the difference in power with Surf is just noting that it fails to power through certain Pokemon as well. Surf gives Inteleon a reliable STAB move to clean up weakened teams I would also bring up its greater reliability against targets like Rhyperior, Darmanitan, etc., while Ice Beam allows Inteleon to revenge kill Haxorus and Noivern, and threaten Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi. U-turn lets Inteleon maintain momentum against switch-ins like Sylveon, Rotom-Wash, and Milotic. A Timid Nature allows Inteleon to outspeed +2 Toxtricity and +2 Timid Polteageist, however a Modest nature can be ran if Inteleon isn't required to deal with them to improve its damage output versus targets like Roserade and Gigalith.

Inteleon is However, (AC) it is held back by its inability to threaten bulky Water-types like Milotic and Mantine, and the as well as by its lack of defensive utility it offers as a Water-type compared to options other Water-types like Rotom-W that can more effectively check threats like Rhyperior and Gigalith. Hydro Pump is Inteleon's strongest move (RC) that and can be used to 2HKO Pokemon like Roserade and Sylveon, while Surf gives Inteleon a more spammable Water-type STAB move that is more reliable and can still OHKO targets like Incineroar and Lucario. Ice Beam lets Inteleon pressure Grass-types like Roserade, Rotom-C, and Celebi (RC) and prevent Noivern from freely switching in. U-turn helps Inteleon keep momentum in matchups against Pokemon like Milotic and Umbreon that would otherwise wall it. Dark Pulse is an option over Surf to prevent Inteleon from being walled by Jellicent, however (RC) (the word "however" MUST be entirely surrounded by punctuation at all times. When used as a transition, it MUST have a full stop—a period or semicolon—as one of the punctuations. "Jellicent, however it" is incorrect. "Jellicent, however, it" is incorrect, because however is used as a transition. The correct usage here is "Jellicent; however, it".) it is inferior in every other matchup.

Teammates that can help pressure bulky Water-types like Milotic are essential partners. Roserade, Machamp, and Heliolisk are great options; Roserade can also set Spikes to punish these switch-ins, while and all three greatly appreciate Inteleon bringing them in safely with U-turn. Due to its poor bulk, Inteleon can't take advantage of the defensive utility its typing provides, therefore (fluff) (no, this is pretty important to why inteleon is pretty niche. it's a frail water, which is kind of lame in the tier where most teams use bulky waters to beat fire-types well) Pokemon like Gigalith and Incineroar that can help pivot into strong Fire-types like Chandelure and Darmanitan are helpful. Gigalith can also help to check Noivern, while and Incineroar can bring Inteleon in on Pokemon like Rhyperior and Weezing-Galar (Remember forme names! Galarian Weezing) with Parting Shot. Steel-types like Bronzong and Escavalier can help to check Grass-types like Celebi and Roserade that can take advantage of Inteleon locking into its STAB moves; (RC; ASC) Escavalier in particular can help to overwhelm their shared checks like in (there are more shared checks than these two. like is fine.) Rotom-W and Noivern, and (because there's a comma before this "and", the following segment needs to be an independent clause. Therefore, there needs to be an "Escavalier" here) appreciates Inteleon offensively checking Incineroar for it. Noivern and Choice Scarf Flygon can offensively check Roserade and Celebi too and clean late-game; Noivern can also pressure checks to Inteleon like Heliolisk and Golisopod (RC) and offer pivot support to can bring it in on Rhyperior and Gigalith with U-turn, while Flygon can help to check Dragon Dance Haxorus that (This would be a time for ", which". It's an elaboration, not a specification.) might attempt to set up on Inteleon locked into a Water-type move. Other late-game cleaners such as Shift Gear Toxtricity appreciate Inteleon pressuring its (This sentence shifts subjects midway through from "other late-game cleaners" to just "shift gear toxtricity". Sentence needs to be fixed because of that.) checks like Rhyperior and Gigalith. Toxic Spikes setters like Roserade and offensive Galarian Weezing can help pressure switch-ins (AH) to Inteleon like Milotic, Jellicent, and Heliolisk.

[SET COMMENTS]

Due Thanks (subjective; emphasizes the positivity of the bullet better) (really not necessary) to its fantastic speed tier, (Speed tier is capitalized. Capitalize Speed in every case other than "speed control") Inteleon is a decent option for a Choice Scarf user that can revenge kill dangerous setup(remove space) sweepers like +1 Dragon Dance Haxorus, +2 Shift Gear Toxtricity, and +2 (it's fine to list boosts if they're important for speed reasons) Shell Smash Polteageist. Hydro Pump lets Inteleon reliably (hydro pump is not reliable) revenge kill chipped (i think just putting "weakened" here is better than your change) threats like Toxtricity and Cobalion after chip damage, while Surf gives it a reliable STAB move to lets it more reliably hit Pokemon like Darmanitan and Rhyperior (RC) and clean up weakened teams. Ice Beam allows lets Inteleon to (unneeded) revenge kill Haxorus and Noivern (RC) and threaten Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi. U-turn lets Inteleon (this sentence structure is incredibly repetitive because every sentence in moves starts with "Move lets Inteleon do thing") maintain momentum against switch-ins like Sylveon, Rotom-Wash, (Forme names.) and Milotic. (this seems rather obvious, consider removing this sentence) (no, it's a good idea to include why u-turn is a thing.) A Timid nature allows Inteleon to outspeed +2 Toxtricity and +2 Timid Polteageist after boosts. (it's fine to list boosts if it's important) (RC; AP) however Alternatively, (AC) a Modest nature can be ran ("ran" is bad. 99.9% of the time it should be "run". ran is past tense, not infinitive. like this instance should be.) if Inteleon isn't required to deal with them (fluff) (I think it's pretty important to mention that Modest should only be used if it doesn't need to rk teapot and toxtricity.) to improve its damage output versus targets like Roserade and Gigalith.

Choice Scarf Inteleon fits on offense offensive (offense is fine.) teams that greatly appreciate its ability to revenge kill fast Pokemon like Noivern and Dragon Dance Haxorus. (this sentence also seems like fluff as it just repeats stuff said in the previous paragraph) (This is fine. Shows what kind of teams it fits on. Doesn't state in the analysis it fits on offense otherwise.) Teammates like Roserade, Celebi, and Heliolisk can break through the (this is fine to keep) bulky Water-types like Milotic and Rotom-W that wall Inteleon, and (following needs to be an independent clause, or there needs to not be a comma.) appreciate it bringing them in safely on these Pokemon with U-turn and revenge killing Noivern and Haxorus. Entry hazards from Pokemon like Roserade and Gigalith can help offset Choice Scarf Inteleon's weaker lesser damage output (Compared to what?) and increase pressure on its switch-ins more; (subjective; flows better) (i don't like this change and do not believe it to be needed. Generally, try to keep subjective changes at an absolute minimum.) Gigalith can also help to check Pokemon like Chandelure, Noivern, and Choice Specs Sylveon that can take advantage of Inteleon for locking into certain moves. Noivern can check Grass-types like Celebi, Rotom-C, and Roserade for Inteleon, and in return it appreciates it Inteleon (This set of changes is partially unnecessary.) offensively checking Rhyperior and faster Pokemon that it can't revenge kill (RC) (no this is important. comma's fine.) like Dragon Dance Haxorus and Shift Gear Toxtricity. Wallbreakers like Escavalier, Darmanitan, (AC) and Pangoro can help to weaken or remove Inteleon's checks such as Roserade, Rotom-Wash, (forme names.) and Noivern, allowing it to clean late-game with Surf; Escavalier in particular can also help to reliably check Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi for Inteleon, and these Pokemon all three (these changes are unnecessary) appreciate Inteleon revenge killing their checks like Noivern.
