[SET COMMENTS]

Pyroar's excellent Speed and solid movepool make it a great wallbreaker that checks setup sweepers. Taunt allows Pyroar to prevent bulky Pokemon like Blissey, Muk, and Ursaring from getting free switch-in to use their utility moves while also stopping setup sweepers such as Bulk Up Braviary, Coil Eelektross, and Nasty Plot Mesprit. Will-O-Wisp threatens Pyroar switch-ins like Samurott, Muk, and Assault Vest Eelektross. Tera Blast is most commonly run with Tera Grass, allowing Pyroar to destroy threats like Floatzel, Sandaconda, and Veluza. Endeavor can be used over Will-O-Wisp to severely weaken special walls like Blissey, Appletun, and Ursaring if they attempt to trade damage after Pyroar uses Taunt versus them. Tera Ghost allows Pyroar to turn the tables against common Fighting-types such as Toxicroak, Medicham, and Hisuian Sneasel that would usually destroy it. Alternatively, Tera Grass allows Pyroar to tank powerful Water- and Ground-type attacks from Bruxish, Floatzel, and Sandaconda.

Pyroar can't reliably defeat walls such as Blissey, Umbreon, and Appletun; it best pairs with physical wallbreakers like Toxicroak, Scyther, and Samurott that can deal with these threats. If Pyroar loses its Heavy-Duty Boots, it becomes susceptible to entry hazards, so hazard removers such as Avalugg, Drifblim, and Lurantis or a hazard deterrent like Hattrem are great partners. Grass-types like Cacturne, Appletun, and Lurantis appreciate Pyroar for checking threats such as Scyther, Avalugg, and Vivillon; in return, they check Water-types like Bruxish, Clawitzer, and Samurott. Fighting-types like Hisuian Sneasel and Choice Scarf Medicham can threaten out Pyroar, so it pairs best with Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Mesprit, Bruxish, and Drifblim.

Pyroar’s excellent speed, and solid movepool makes it a great wallbreaker that checks setup sweepers. Taunt allows Pyroar to prevents opposing entry hazzard hazards from getting set by Pokemon such as Sandaconda and Cacturne for attempting their hazards (it’s repetitive) while also it stops stopping setup sweepers such as Quiver Dance Vivillon, Coil Dudunsparce, and Nasty Plot Mesprit. Will-O-Wisp threatenings checks that can (fluff) switch-ins to Pyroar such as Samurott, Hisuian Sneasel, and Paldean Tauros. Hyper Voice is great stab and coverage to STAB that hits Water- and Fire-types such as Bruxish, Qwilfish, and opposing Pyroar. Tera Blast with Tera Ghost does heavy damage to Drifblim, Medicham, and Mesprit; whereas with Tera Grass it destorys destroys Floatzel, Sandaconda, and Veluza. Tera Ghost allows Pyroar to turn the tables against common Fighting-types such as Toxicroak, Medicham, and Hisuian Sneasel that would usually destroy it. Alternatively, Tera Grass would allow Pyroar to tank power Water- and Ground-type attacks from (give examples on against whom this’d help) .
(i would find a way to combine both places you talk about the teras together. Like: you take abt tera ghost, tera blast ghost. abt tera grass, tera blast grass. Also tera blast is better used with tera grass to hit conda and waters. If tera ghost, h voice is preferred)

Pyroar gets walled by can’t dent Special walls (sounded repetitive) such as Blissey, Umbreon, and Appletun; it best pairs with Toxicroak, Scyther, and Samurott, allowing them to take care of the Special walls. If Pyroar loses its Heavy-Duty Boots, so hazards removers such as Avalugg, Hattrem, Drifblim, (i see what u mean but it doesn’t remove hazards) and Lurantis or a hazard deterrent like Hattrem (if u wanna keep Hattrem in there are great partners to get rid of entry hazards. (reptitive) Pyroar appreciates pivot support, it best pairs with from Rotom and Bombirdier as they allowing Pyroar to switch (add space) in safely and bring destruction threaten the opposing team. Pyroar can help setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Hisuian Sneasel, Coil Sandaconda, and Nasty Plot Rotom by pressuring opponents teammates allowing them to clean up in the end game (how does it help exactly/pressure opponents?). (Talk about switch-ins for water pokemon like cb brux, specs claw, or samurott and switch-ins for fighting-types)

Taunt allows Pyroar to prevent entry hazards from getting set by Pokemon such as Sandaconda and Cacturne while also stopping setup sweepers such as Quiver Dance Vivillon, Coil Dudunsparce, and Nasty Plot Mesprit. this is all "true" but misses the point of Taunt imo, mostly you use it to prevent bulky mons like Blissey and Muk from freely forcing you out and using whatever utility moves they wish to. i think keeping the mention of buky setup sweepers is perfectly fine, but mons like cacturne and viv? just fire blast them lol. Will-O-Wisp threatens switch-ins to Pyroar such as Samurott, Hisuian Sneasel, and Paldean Tauros. none of these are switch-ins except maybe samurott; the other two get blasted and tauros isnt even faster so it just loses. replace them with mentions of foes that ACTUALLY can attempt to switch into pyroar. Hyper Voice is great STAB that hits Water- and Fire-types such as Bruxish, Qwilfish, and opposing Pyroar. Tera Blast is most commonly runs on with Tera Grass allowing Pyroar to destroys threats like Floatzel, Sandaconda, and Veluza. Endeavor can be used over Will-O-Wisp to severely weaken special walls like Blissey, Appletun, and Ursaring if they attempt to trade damage after Pyroar uses Taunt versus them.

Alternatively, Tera Grass would allow Pyroar to tank power Water- and Ground-type attacks from Bruxish, Floatzel, and Sandaconda.

Pyroar can't deny Special reliably defeat "deny" is way too vague and frankly sounds inaccurate anyway given you run Taunt on the Pokemon, so yeah you do deny them SOMETHING walls such as Blissey, Umbreon, and Appletun; it best pairs with Toxicroak, Scyther, and Samurott allowing them to take care of the Special walls. If Pyroar loses its Heavy-Duty Boots, hazard removers such as Avalugg, Drifblim, and Lurantis or a hazard deterrent like Hattrem are great partners. Pyroar appreciate pivot support from Rotom and Bombirdier as they allow Pyroar to switch in safely and threaten the opposing team. this is never a very helpful comment in analyses if you aren't going to expand on it; you MUST talk about synergy and address what kinds of foes the pivots you mention bring Pyroar in against. for example if I mention pairing Pyroar with a Pokemon that only pivots out against Water-types, that'd be pretty useless. Grass types like Cacturne, Appletun, and Lurantis appreciate Pyroar for checking threats such as Scyther, Avalugg, and Vivillon; in return they check Water-types like Bruxish, Clawitzer, and Samurott. Fighting-types like Toxicroak, Medicham, Choice Scarf Medicham and Hisuian Sneasel can threatens out Pyroar; so it's pairs best with Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Mesprit, Bruxish, and Drifblim as they can take care of the Fighting-types.

the information is very surface level in many places; you need to think beyond the most basic of Pokemon fundamentals when writing because it ends up resulting in faulty information if you don't

Pyroar can't reliably defeat walls such as Blissey, Umbreon, and Appletun; it best pairs with Toxicroak, Scyther, and Samurott allowing them to take care of the Special walls. I think this sentence could be greatly improved by re-writing the second half, as it stands it's far too clunky. Try something like "Pyroar can't reliably defeat walls such as Blissey, Umbreon, and Appletun, so it best pairs with physical wallbreakers like Toxicroak, Scyther, and Samurott that can deal with these threats." If Pyroar loses its Heavy-Duty Boots, entry hazard removers such as Avalugg, Drifblim, and Lurantis or a hazard deterrent like Hattrem are great partners.

Fighting-types like Choice Scarf Medicham and Hisuian Sneasel do both of these run Choice Scarf? If not, change it to "Hisuian Sneasel and Choice Scarf Medicham" can threatens threaten out Pyroar; remove semicolon , add comma so it's it pairs best with Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Mesprit, Bruxish, and Drifblim.
