[SET COMMENTS]
Venusaur's fantastic coverage, offensive typing, Chlorophyll, and access to G-Max Vine Lash turn it into one of the best Pokemon in the metagame. Frenzy Plant gives Venusaur the most powerful G-Max Vine Lash possible, but it trades flexibility outside of Dynamax by needing a turn to recharge. Leaf Storm, on the other hand, is a slightly less powerful Max Move and decreases Venusaur's Special Attack, but it's more flexible outside of Dynamax. Sleep Powder can disrupt the opposition and lets Venusaur potentially take the upper hand in unfavorable matchups. Weather Ball allows Venusaur to make use of the weather setup by Pokemon it's nearly always used alongside. When paired with Groudon or Torkoal, Venusaur gets Max Flare, which has a roll to OHKO most Zacian-C, and when paired with Kyogre, it gets Max Geyser, allowing it to slam Fire-types like Incineroar and Charizard. Earth Power turns into Max Quake, allowing Venusaur to threaten a KO onto Coalossal after fairly minimal prior damage and lets Venusaur boost its Special Defense. Sludge Bomb turns into Max Ooze, allowing Venusaur to boost its teams Special Attack, and it hits Grimmsnarl for a hefty amount of damage. With Life Orb and a Modest nature, Venusaur has the ability to 2HKO Rotom-H with G-Max Vine Lash and OHKO Zacian-C with Max Flare. Coba Berry improves Venusaur's matchup against Flying-types such as Landorus-T and Thundurus. Focus Sash helps against Pokemon such as Coalossal and Charizard, allowing Venusaur to threaten them with Sleep Powder after surviving any hit. When running Weakness Policy, consider running a bulkier EV spread such as 132 HP / 44 Def / 76 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe with a Timid nature, which survives Thundurus's Life Orb-boosted Max Airstream unless it gets the highest possible roll. This spread also pairs especially well with dual screens support to survive powerful super effective attacks under Dynamax, (RC) and retaliate harder. A Timid nature allows Venusaur to outspeed Regieleki and +1 Thundurus under sun, whereas Modest removes these luxuries but allows Venusaur to score more OHKOs and 2HKOs, such as G-Max Vine Lash 2HKOing Rotom-H after the residual damage from the move and Life Orb-boosted Max Quake scoring an OHKO onto Gigantamax Coalossal.

Due to Chlorophyll, Venusaur pairs well with Pokemon that are able to easily set sun for it, such as Groudon and Torkoal. Paired with Groudon, Venusaur is able to check Water-types such as Rotom-W and Kyogre that threaten Groudon, while Groudon is able to threaten Fire-types such as Rotom-H, Incineroar, and Charizard that threaten Venusaur. Torkoal, on the other hand, is the best non-Restricted Pokemon to set sun for Venusaur, freeing the team to run another dangerous Restricted Pokemon such as Zacian-C or Kyogre, and it can provide additional support with Yawn or Burning Jealousy. Venusaur also pairs well with another beneficiary of the sun in Charizard because it's oftentimes able to weaken the opposition with its sheer power, allowing Venusaur to clean up. Kyogre is an amazing partner for Venusaur; although contradictory to Chlorophyll being a rain setter, it's able to take advantage of Venusaur’s Max Ooze boosts and threaten Fire-types that Venusaur struggles against. Grimmsnarl is capable of setting dual screens to help Venusaur's fairly mediocre bulk and can provide speed control with Scary Face or Thunder Wave, leaving Venusaur not completely reliant on sun. Venusaur pairs excellently alongside Porygon2 for its ability to help handle threats to Venusaur such as Landorus-T with Ice Beam and weaken Rotom-H via Eerie Impulse. Landorus-T can also be a nice teammate for Venusaur, being able to threaten opposing Charizard and Rotom-H with Rock-type coverage.

A lot of this is just wording issues and grammar yknow where I am. I am not GP and I did not bother to touch the wording in many areas so I advise you to proofread yourself. Its Fire-types not Fire Types. Its Fire- and Grass-types not Fire and Grass Types. Also one last thing hit reply if you don't already to implement QC and GP checks it makes it much easier.

Venusaur's fantastic movepool(Movepool doesn't quite make sense if you say what's in its movepool immediately afterwards.) coverage, offensive typing, (its offensive typing is also partly why its good I think its worth mentioning.)Chlorophyll,(AC) and access to Gmax Vine Lash and Chlorophyll, turns it into one of the best Pokemon attackers (Lets not undersell Venu as merely one of the best attackers.) in the metagame. Leaf Storm or Frenzy Plant is often times used as a base for Gmax Vine Lash.(kinda fluffy.) Frenzy Plant allows for your gives Venusaur the most powerful Gmax Vine Lashes to be more powerful possible, but you it trades flexibility outside of Dynamax by needing a turn of recharge. Leaf Storm on the other hand has is a slightly less powerful mMax mMove, and it decreases your Venusaur's Special Attack, but its more flexible outside of dDynamax. (Minor but swap the mentions of Leaf Storm and Frenzy Planty since Leaf Storm is the first slash.) Sleep Powder allows can for you to disrupt an opponent the opposition and lets Venusaur potentially you take the upper hand in an unfavourable(typo) matchups.(The word potentially is important cause of the chance for sleep powder to land and than there's the chance for them to wake up turn 1 too.) Protect on the other hand is more useful outside of Dynamax to stop moves such as Fake Out.(Even though its a slashed option Protect does not need to be explained.) Weather Ball allows you to make use of the weather setup by your setter, turning into Max Flare when in the sun or Max Geyser when in the rain, allowing you to have a decent chance of killing Zacian-C in sun, or Incineroar in the rain. (Saying what Weather Ball turns into according to the weather is dex info and shouldn't be included. You could instead say something like when paired with Groudon or Torkoal weather ball in the sun hits this and weather ball when paired with Kyogre hits this. I think you could also mention that Weather Ball often times has usefulness outside your own weather setter due to the ubiquity of weather in the metagame.) Earth Power turns into Max Quake, allowing you Venusaur to hit Pokemon such as Coalossal or Regieleki for super effective damage(Who cares if its super effective does it OHKO or 2HKO them? Of course change the whole sentences wording accordingly), or and allows Venusaur you to boost its your Special Defense stat. Alternatively, you can run Sludge Bomb, which turns into Max Ooze, useful for boosting the Special Attack stat of you and your partner,(The main reason too run Max Ooze is because it makes Venusaur itself more threatening so I'd like to see the wording changed. This wording is a little fluffy to so try and fix that.) allowing you and your partner to hit on the Special side for greater amounts of damage,(fluff) while hitting Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl or Whimsicott for a hefty amounts of damage. (Hitting Grimmsnarl is an actual reason to run Sludge Bomb, I don't think hitting Whimsicott is a justification to run Sludge Bomb while it does hit it.)

(You did not explain any of the items on the set, you should do that and give examples of where the items are useful for example LO Max Flare OHKOes Zacian-C or Coba Berry helping vs x and y flyers.)
(There is a choice of nature on the set explain the justification of both natures.)

Because of Venusaur's strengths, it pairs well with Pokemon that are able to easily set up sun for it, such as through the ability Drought (Groudon and Torkoal),(This is really clunkily worded. "Venusaur's strengths" If you mean Chlorophyll by "strengths" you can simply say something along the lines that it should be paired with one of the 2 Drought setters to activate Chlorophyll .) or through Prankster Sunny Day (Whimsicott and Sableye). Paired up with Groudon, Venusaur is able to easily take care of Water-types (Give examples.) and Grass types (Venusaur is the main Grass-type.) that may threaten Groudon, while Groudon is able to threaten Fire Types (Give examples) that threaten Venusaur, making it a powerful duo. It also appreciates being paired with Pokemon such as Porygon2, which is able to threaten or weaken Pokemon that threaten Venusaur, such as Landorus-T or Rotom Heat. (The wording currently does not make much sense. just try to say something along the lines of p2 is a great partner able to help handle threats to Venu such as Landorus-T with Ice beam and weaken Rotom-H via Eerie Impulse.) When running Weakness Policy, consider running a bulkier Venusaur EV spread such as 132 HP / 44 Def / 76 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe, which pairs especially well with Screens support to survive heavy powerful super effective attacks in Dynamax, and retaliate hit back harder after getting the speed boost with Chlorophyll.
(Move this last sentence to the end of the first paragraph where the set is supposed to be explained. Is The Venu is supposed to be Modest? Or can it be either nature? The EV spread you gave here may change later.)

(There are some good teammates that I think deserve to be included, you mention running Screens for Venusaur and yet there is no screen setter mentioned to support it. Charizard should be included as a teammate, Venusaur can threaten eleki and kyogre for venu and zard can threaten about everything else. Mention Kyogre as a teammate to Venusaur, Kyogre can threaten some of venu's problems like Fire-types and Landorus-T and Venusaur gets access to a water-type weather ball. No super good charizard answers mentioned so far and venu is pretty weak too it, I think you should mention landorus-T and Regieleki for this. Lando-t can also check some other fire-types mainly coal)

[Yourwelcomethanku]

Mostly just wording implement this well and I should be able to stamp this soon. A few notes (AH) means Add hyphen. You use the word you/your in many situations where it should just say Venusaur for example you as the player are not outspeeding Regieleki in sun. You missed some things in my last QC check please use this method to implement checks I recommend just toggling code and copying it to your sandbox and work from there. And please try and tidy up the grammar.

Earth Power turns into Max Quake, allowing Venusaur to threaten a KO hit Pokemon such as onto Coalossal, which dies after minimal prior damage self-proc damage(This is too vague, you shouldn't expect people to know what self proc means exactly and I don't think its worth overcomplicating it by specifically saying after dragapult uses surf or urshifu-r aqua jet and so on.), or Regieleki for a OHKO( Gmax Vinelash already OHKOes Regieleki with vinlash damage to be more specific it lets you contend with Helping Hand supported LO Regieleki because that can just OHKO you. You can either change/remove the mention or reword this.), and allows Venusaur to boost its Special Defense.

With a Life Orb, you Venusaur has are given the ability opportunity to 2HKO Rotom-Heat outside of Dynamax(You don't need to specify Rotom-H isn't dynamaxed.) with Modest Gmax Vine Lash with a Modest Nature, or and OHKO most bulky Zacian-Crowned builds with Max Flare.(Even max HP Zacian-C is OHKOed.) On the other hand, the (Doesn't make sense when there are 4 item choices and your not comparing similar items.)Coba Berry helps against most Flying(AH) Types that are capable of OHKOing Venusaur with Max Airstream, such as Landorus-T and Thundurus. Focus Sash helps against Pokemon such as Coalossal or Charizard, allowing you to threaten them with Sleep Powder after surviving a heavy any hit. When running Weakness Policy, consider running a bulkier Venusaur EV spread such as 132 HP / 44 Def / 76 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe with a Timid Nature, which pairs especially well with Screens support to survive powerful super effective attacks in Dynamax, and retaliate harder. Choosing aA Timid Nature allows you Venusaur to outspeed Regieleki under sun, whereas Modest removes that this luxury, but allows you Venusaur to score more OHKOs or 2HKOs, such as with Rotom Heat. (Incomplete I imagine you intended too include more examples. Also mention specifically which mons get OHKOed or 2HKOed and if its not very clear mention specifically which move.)

Due to Venusaur’s ability of Chlorophyll,(RC) it Venusaur pairs well with Pokemon that are able to easily set up sun for it, such as Groudon or Torkoal. Paired up with Groudon, Venusaur is able to check easily take care of Water-types such as Rotom-Wash or Kyogre Tapu Fini(Kyogre is just a much more threatening water-type to Groudon than fini.) that may threaten Groudon, while Groudon is able to threaten Fire(AH) Types such as Rotom-Heat, Incineroar or Charizard that threaten Venusaur, making it a powerful duo.(You said in the previous sentence pairs well. Also by not mentioning any strengths Torkoal has with Venusaur your making Groudon look like a much superior option, I think you could say something along the lines of that Torkoal is the best none restricted option for the job freeing the team to run a diff powerful Restricted like x or x.) Venusaur also pairs well with another beneficiary of the sun Charizard, because its oftentimes able to weaken the opposition with its sheer power being a sun abuser that is able to deal hefty damage and allowings Venusaur to fulfill the role of a fast cleanup Pokemon. Kyogre is also an interesting (Instead of interesting which tells me nothing from a competitive standpoint, tell me why its interesting? I'd imagine its because Kyogre is contradictory to Chlorophyll.)partner for Venusaur, being able to both take advantage of Venusaur’s Max Ooze boosts and threaten Fire(AH) Types that Venusaur struggles versus may have a tough time dealing with. Grimmsnarl and Porygon2 are also nice partners for Venusaur, the former being able to setup Screens to allow Venusaur to take less damage, while the latter is able to help handle other threats to Venusaur such as Landorus-T with Ice Beam and weaken Rotom-H with Eerie Impulse. (I don't see why both Grimmsnarl and p2 are lumped together when they don't help Venusaur in very similar ways separate these into 2 sentences.) Landorus-T can also be a nice teammate for Venusaur, being able to threaten opposing Charizards or and Rotom-Heats with Rock (AH)tType coverage.

Earth Power turns into Max Quake, allowing Venusaur to threaten a KO onto Coalossal, after fairly minimal (feels more accurate.)prior damage, and it lets allows(Repetitive wording.) Venusaur to boost its Special Defense. Sludge Bomb turns into Max Ooze, allowing Venusaur to boost its teams Special Attack, and it hits Grimmsnarl for a hefty amount of damage.

This spread also pairs especially well with Screens support to survive powerful super effective attacks in Dynamax, and retaliate harder. A Timid Nature allows Venusaur to outspeed Regieleki and a +1 Thundurus at +1 speed under sun, whereas Modest removes this these luxurys, but allows Venusaur to score more OHKOs or and 2HKOs, such as with G-(AH)max Vine Lash 2HKOing Rotom-Heat after the residual damage from G-Max Vine lash, and Life Orb Max Quake scoring an guaranteed OHKO onto Gigantamaxed Coalossal., (AP & RC) or Max Quake being able to kill a large majority of Incineroars after chip damage from G-max Vine Lash. (Nope though if you want to use a different example be my guest.)
252+ SpA Venusaur Max Quake vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Incineroar: 282-334 (71.5 - 84.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Vine Lash damage

Due to Chlorophyll Venusaur pairs well with Pokemon that are able to easily set up sun for it, such as Groudon or Torkoal. Paired with Groudon, Venusaur is able to check Water-types such as Rotom-Wash or Kyogre that threaten Groudon, while Groudon is able to threaten Fire Types such as Rotom-Heat, Incineroar or Charizard that threaten Venusaur.,(AP & RC) pairing well together.(Redundant considering you already said pairs well.)

Due to Chlorophyll, (AC) Venusaur pairs well with Pokemon that are able to easily set up sun for it, such as Groudon or and Torkoal. Paired with Groudon, Venusaur is able to check Water-types such as Rotom-Wash or and Kyogre that threaten Groudon, while Groudon is able to threaten Fire Types Fire-types such as Rotom-Heat, Incineroar or, (AC) and Charizard that threaten Venusaur. Torkoal, (AC) on the other hand, (AC) is the (missing space between "is" and "the") best non-Restricted (AH) Pokemon to set sun for Venusaur, (AC) freeing the team to run other another dangerous Restricted Pokemon such as Zacian-C or Kyogre, and it can provide additional support with Yawn or Burning Jealousy. Venusaur also pairs well with another beneficiary of the sun in Charizard, (RC) because its it's oftentimes able to weaken the opposition with its sheer power, (AC) allowing Venusaur to clean up (missing space between "clean" and "up"). Kyogre is an amazing partner for Venusaur; (comma -> semicolon) although contradictory to Chlorophyll being a rain setter, its it's able to take advantage of Venusaur’s Max Ooze boosts and threaten Fire-types that Venusaur struggles versus against. Grimmsnarl is capable of setting dual screens to help Venusaur's fairly mediocre bulk and it can provide Venusaur speed control with Scary Face or Thunder Wave, (AC) leaving it Venusaur not completely reliant on sun. Venusaur pairs excellently alongside Porygon2 for its ability to help handle threats to Venusaur such as Landorus-T with Ice Beam and weaken Rotom-H via Eerie Impulse. Landorus-T can also be a nice teammate for Venusaur, being able to threaten opposing Charizard and Rotom-Heat with Rock-type coverage.
