Thanks to Azelf's great Speed tier, expansive movepool, and extremely spammable STAB move under Psychic Surge in Expanding Force, it is one of AAA's most dangerous offensive pivots and cleaners. U-turn allows Azelf to generate momentum for its team while also providing solid damage into Pokemon like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao as well as pivoting on RegenVest users like Swampert and Hisuian Goodra. The final two moveslots are very flexible. Knock Off debilitates switch-ins like Swampert, Manaphy, and Hisiuan Goodra. Dazzling Gleam threatens to OHKO offensive Roaring Moon and does good damage to Mandibuzz and Chien-Pao, while Flamethrower allows Azelf to still hit the latter while having coverage into Corviknight and non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo. Trick can punish switch-ins like Hisuian Goodra and Manaphy while also debilitating other walls like Deoxys-D, but it makes Azelf a less reliable form of Speed control. Defensive pivots like Corviknight and Swampert give Azelf a Pokemon to fall back on and a slow pivot to get it in safely, while offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Roaring Moon appreciate Azelf setting up Psychic Terrain to get rid of their weakness to priority moves. Depending on its coverage, Azelf can struggle breaking through Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and Mandibuzz as well as bulky special walls like Swampert and the rare Blissey, so wallbreakers like Great Tusk and Galarian Zapdos make excellent partners, as they can deal with these Pokemon, and the former also removes entry hazards Azelf can struggle against. Other offensive Pokemon that are weak to priority moves like Ogerpon-W, Roaring Moon, and Chien-Pao also make excellent partners with Azelf due to the Psychic Terrain it sets up.

Thanks to Azelf's great speed Speed tier, a useful movepool containing both offensive and utility moves, and an extremely spammable STAB move under Psychic Surge with Expanding Force, Azelf is one of AAA's most dangerous offensive pivots and cleaners. U-turn allows Azelf to give momentum for its team while also providing decent chip (Over 50% is more than "decent chip" imo, maybe another adjective?) into Pokemon like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao (Mention how it also help it pivot on common switchins like RegenVest Users). The final two moveslots are very flexible; Knock Off allows cripple cripples switchins like Swampert and Hisiuan Goodra. Dazzling Gleam OHKOs Roaring Moon and does good damage to Dragonite Mandibuzz (Expanding does more) and Chien-Pao, while Flamethrower allows Azelf to still hit the latter while having coverage into Corviknight and non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo. Trick can punish switchins like Husuian Hisuian Goodra and Manayphy Manaphy while also allowing it to cripple other walls like Deoxys-Defense (Mention how Trick also makes you slower, making it less reliable as speed control). Azelf most common teammates are pivots who can give Azelf a safe switchin on to the battlefield; Corviknight gives Azelf a Pokemon to fall back on and gives it a slow pivot to get it in safely, while Barraskewda is an offensive pivot who appreciates Azelf setting up Psychic Terrain to get rid of its weakness to priority (This sentence is worded weirdly in my opinion; split it up into two sentences instead where you mention the synergy between offensive pivots in one and how defensive pivots helps it in the second). Depending on its coverage, Azelf can struggle breaking through Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and Roaring Moon (Azelf in general struggles against all special walls, mention those too), so Pokemon like Great Tusk and Zapdos-Galar Galarian Zapdos make excellent partners (What makes them good partners? mention why Azelf benefits from their presence), the former also removing entry hazards Azelf can struggle against. Other offensive Pokemon who are weak to priotity priority like offensive Gholdengo all Ogerpon-formes (Gholdengo doesn't really struggle against any of the priority available), Roaring Moon, and Chien-Pao also make excellent partners with Azelf.

Thanks to Azelf's great Speed tier, a useful movepool containing both offensive and utility moves you can shorten this to say it has an expansive movepool, no need to fluff it up, and an extremely spammable STAB move under Psychic Surge with Expanding Force, Azelf is one of AAA's most dangerous offensive pivots and cleaners. U-turn allows Azelf to give momentum for its team while also providing solid damage into Pokemon like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao as well as pivoting on RegenVest users like Swampert and Hisuian Goodra . The final two moveslots are very flexible; Knock Off cripples switchins like Swampert, Manaphy, and Hisiuan Goodra. Dazzling Gleam OHKOs threatens to OHKO offensive it's an 81% chance to OHKO, and regenvest moon is real Roaring Moon and does good damage to Mandibuzz and Chien-Pao, while Flamethrower allows Azelf to still hit the latter while having coverage into Corviknight and non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo. Trick can punish switchins like Hisuian Goodra and Manaphy while also allowing it to cripple other walls like Deoxys-Defense, but makes Azelf a less reliable form of Speed control. Azelf most common teammates are pivots who can give Azelf a safe switchin on to the battlefield. you say this better in the next sentence Defensive pivots like Corviknight and Swampert gives Azelf a Pokemon to fall back on and gives it a slow pivot to get it in safely, while offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Roaring Moon appreciates Azelf setting up Psychic Terrain to get rid of its weakness to priority. Depending on its coverage, Azelf can struggle breaking through Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and Roaring Moon Mandibuzz as well as bulky Special walls like Swampert and the rare Blissey, so Pokemon wallbreakers like Great Tusk and Galarian Zapdos make excellent partners as they can deal with Dark- and Steel-types as well as these Special walls, the former also removing entry hazards Azelf can struggle against. Other offensive Pokemon who are weak to priority like All Ogerpon-formes Ogerpon-W oger-w is the only one i'd call relevant right now, Roaring Moon, and Chien-Pao also make excellent partners with Azelf due to the Psychic Terrain it sets up.
