Scolipede is able to get Spikes up easily for hyper offense teams with its Speed and can keep them up with its coverage and Endeavor. Poison Jab notably hits Hatterene hard while also hitting neutral targets like Azelf, Hydreigon, and Thundurus-T. Earthquake dissuades Cobalion from setting up on Scolipede and hits Rapid Spin users like Tentacruel and Excadrill. Endeavor is useful against bulkier Pokemon such as Chansey, as well as Defog users like Salamence. Speed Boost stops lead Excadrill from spinning away Spikes and outspeeding Scolipede afterwards. It also lets Scolipede set multiple layers of Spikes against Choice Scarf users like Diggersby and Hydreigon. Focus Sash ensures Scolipede can get at least one layer of Spikes and can bring foes down to low HP with Endeavor.

Scolipede is only used on hyper offense and pairs nicely with Stealth Rock setters like Taunt Krookodile and Meteor Beam Necrozma, forming a double entry hazard-stacking core to enable sweepers like Gyarados and Salamence. Krookodile and Necrozma can pressure entry hazard removers like Salamence and Dhelmise better than Scolipede can. Sweepers like Salamence, Scizor, and Azelf all appreciate entry hazards to muscle past foes such as Primarina and Chansey. While Scolipede can keep up some offensive pressure, it is still setup bait for Pokemon like Scizor, Celesteela, and Salamence, making checks to them such as Gyarados, Nihilego, and Azumarill respectively solid partners. Taunt Gyarados, Polteageist, and Thundurus-T can all set up on Skarmory, who may try to set up Spikes against Scolipede since it cannot threaten it.

Scolipede is able to get up Spikes easily for hyper offense teams with its Speed and has a decent offensive presence between its coverage and Endeavor. Poison Jab is most notably able to hit Hatterene hard while Earthquake gives Scolipede a way to not be complete setup fodder against Cobalion. I think you could expand more on the move points. Endeavor's ability to punish defoggers like salamence that attempt to hit it super effectively as well as other bulky threats like chansey should be noted. Poison Jab doing solid neutral damage to Azelf, Hydreigon, and Thundurus-T also is important. Earthquake hitting Rapid Spin users like Tentacruel and Excadrill is important to mention as well. Speed Boost allows Scolipede to set multiple layers of Spikes against Choice Scarf users like Diggersby and Hydreigon, and lets it stop lead Excadrill from spinning away the Spikes. say how focus sash guarantees it can get off at least one spike or can be used to put threats at 1 HP with Endeavor.

Scolipede is only used on hyper offense and pairs nicely with Stealth Rock setters like Taunt Krookodile and Meteor Beam Necrozma, forming a double entry hazard stacking core to enable sweepers like Gyarados and Salamence. Krookodile and Necrozma can pressure entry hazard removers like Salamence and Dhelmise better than Scolipede can too. Scolipede does a good job at setting up many sweepers for success. feels like fluff + I think my addition by specifying double hazard core covers this point. Sweepers like Salamence, Scizor, and Azelf all appreciate entry hazards to muscle past foes such as Primarina and Chansey. While Scolipede can keep up some offensive pressure it can still be setup bait for Pokemon like Scizor, Celesteela and Salamence, making checks such as Gyarados, Nihilego, and Azumarill respectively solid partners. Taunt Gyarados, Polteageist, and Thundurus-T Therian can all set up on Skarmory, who may try to set up Spikes layers against Scolipede as well since Scolipede cannot threaten it.

GP 1/1! I combined my check with Sulo's for ease of implementation. Please consider this a stamped check and give Sulo credit as well.
