[SET COMMENTS]
Wartortle is a good setup sweeper in the ZU metagame because of its Eviolite boosted bulk giving it plenty of Shell Smash opportunities. Its excellent bulk and typing lets Wartortle check Ice-types such as Eiscue, Beartic, and Silvally-Ice, being able to counter sweep them with Shell Smash while also acting as a soft check for strong attackers that can't hit it super effectively such as Stonjourner and Dugtrio. Ice Beam helps Wartortle get through common Water-type answers such as Shiinotic, Gourgeist-L, and Zweilous. Access to Rapid Spin makes Wartortle splashable for role compression, but Wartortle struggles getting through spinblockers such as Dusclops and Shedinja. 116 Speed EVs lets Wartortle outspeed Jolly Persian, Raichu, and Emolga at +2. Substitute is an option for teams that don't need Wartortle's help in removing hazards and makes it even more threatening, giving Wartortle free setup opportunities on passive Pokemon such as Corsola and Vullaby. Substitute can also be used offensively to put Wartortle in Torrent range. Hydro Pump is an option for OHKOing Silvally-Ice after rocks damage and 2HKOing Dusclops at Torrent range at +2.

Wartortle is better used in the late-game after its checks such as Klang, Ivysaur, and Palpitoad are weakened, therefore Knock Off support from Pokemon such as Pikachu, Galarian Linoone, and Machoke is welcomed during the early stages of the game. The high amount of Grass-types in the ZU metagame makes partners such as Klang, Silvally-Ice, and Vespiquen recommended. Stallbreakers such as Ivysaur, Grapploct, and Oranguru are also excellent partners for Wartortle since it struggles to get past stall staples such as Pyukumuku and Dusclops. Additional checks to Pokemon such as Eiscue and Silvally-Ice such as Persian and Stonjourner are also good partners since they give Wartortle more freedom to setup if those threats aren't dealt with.

Wartortle is one of the best setup sweepers in the ZU metagame. Its excellent bulk and typing lets Wartortle check Ice-types such as Eiscue, Beartic and Silvally-Ice, being able to counter sweep them with Shell Smash. Mention some Ice Beam targets. Access to Rapid Spin makes Wartortle splashable for role compression, which is especially useful for offensive teams that rely on Sticky Web or Spikes mention it struggles versus several spinblockers. 52 Speed EVs let Wartortle outspeed +1 Eiscue, Adamant Persian, Galarian-Mr. Mime and Eviolite Galarian-Linoone after a Shell Smash boost. Alternatively, 116 Speed EVs let Wartortle outspeed Jolly Persian. Substitute is an option for teams that don't need Wartortle's utility hazard removal, Sub Tortle still checks Ice-type like you mentionned earlier, so it retains some utility and makes it even more threatening, giving Wartortle free setup opportunities on passive Pokemon such as Corsola and Vullaby. Substitute can also be used offensively to put Wartortle in Torrent range. Hydro Pump is an option for OHKOing Silvally-Ice after rocks damage and 2HKOing Dusclops at Torrent range at +2.

Wartortle is better used in the late game after its checks such as Klang, Ivysaur, and Palpitoad are weakened, therefore Knock Off support from Pokemon such as Machoke, Galarian-Linoone Galarian Linoone, (remove hyphen, add comma) and Ivysaur is welcomed during the early stages of the game. The high amount of Grass-types in the ZU metagame makes partners such as Klang, Silvally-Ice and Farfetch'd recommended. Stallbreakers such as Ivysaur and Oranguru are also excellent partners for Wartortle since it struggles to get past stall staples such as Pyukumuku and Dusclops. Finally, entry hazard support from Pokemon such as Cufant, Lunatone and Trubbish is recommended so Wartortle can sweep more easily. Fluff, this can be said for any offensive Pokemon. I'd like you to mention somewhere that it can't hit Shedinja.

Wartortle is one of the best setup sweepers in the ZU metagame as it relies on its Eviolite boosted defenses to secure Shell Smash opportunities (this was somewhat filler / blank without this addition). Its excellent bulk and typing lets Wartortle check Ice-types such as Eiscue, Beartic, (AC) and Silvally-Ice, being able to counter sweep them with Shell Smash. Ice Beam helps Wartortle get through common Water-type answers such as Shiinotic, Gourgeist-Large, (AC) and Zweilous. Access to Rapid Spin makes Wartortle splashable for role compression, which is especially useful for offensive teams that rely on Sticky Web or Spikes, (I know this is in comparison to Defog but it might be misconstrued + the splashable part earlier implies this) but Wartortle struggles getting through spinblockers such as Dusclops and Frillish. 52 Speed EVs let Wartortle outspeed +1 Eiscue, Adamant Persian, Galarian-Mr. Mime, (AC) and Eviolite Galarian-Linoone after a Shell Smash boost. Alternatively, 116 Speed EVs let Wartortle outspeed Jolly Persian. Substitute is an option for teams that don't need Wartortle's help in removing hazards and makes it even more threatening, giving Wartortle free setup opportunities on passive Pokemon such as Corsola and Vullaby. Substitute can also be used offensively to put Wartortle in Torrent range. Hydro Pump is an option for OHKOing Silvally-Ice after rocks damage and 2HKOing Dusclops at Torrent range at +2.

Wartortle is better used in the late-game (AH) after its checks such as Klang, Ivysaur, (AC) and Palpitoad are weakened, therefore Knock Off support from Pokemon such as Machoke, Galarian Linoone, and Ivysaur is welcomed during the early stages of the game. The high amount of Grass-types in the ZU metagame makes partners such as Klang, Silvally-Ice, (AC) and Farfetch'd recommended (Fit in that wart's spin support also helps the latter two consistently wallbreak). Stallbreakers such as Ivysaur and Oranguru are also excellent partners for Wartortle since it struggles to get past stall staples such as Pyukumuku and Dusclops. (Mention that if Wart is used as an offensive check to Silvally-Ice and Eiscue, it shouldn't risk setting up until they're dealt with, or support it additional checks like Machoke and Torracat to alleviate this pressure)

QC 2/2, great work. As for a minor GP comment, don't forget the serial comma in lists of 3 or more :)

 

[S1nn0hC0nfirm3d]

czim please implement my check in the next 48 hours. Remember to replace Low-rank examples, and you should probably change “best sweepers” to something that doesn’t oversell Wartortle, as it’s not as good as a sweeper now.

Wartortle is a good setup sweeper in the ZU metagame because of its Eviolite boosted bulk giving it plenty of Shell Smash opportunities. Its excellent bulk and typing lets Wartortle check Ice-types such as Eiscue, Beartic, (AC) and Silvally-Ice, being able to counter sweep them with Shell Smash while also acting as a soft check for strong attackers that can't hit it super effectively such as Stonjourner and Fraxure Dugtrio (Fraxure lives an Ice Beam, outspeeds, and demolishes with CB / +1 Outrage; Dugtrio is better here). Ice Beam helps Wartortle get through common Water-type answers such as Shiinotic, Gourgeist-Large, (AC) and Zweilous. Access to Rapid Spin makes Wartortle splashable for role compression, but Wartortle struggles getting through spinblockers such as Dusclops and Shedinja. 116 Speed EVs let Wartortle outspeed Jolly Persian, Raichu, (AC) and Swoobat Emolga at +2. Substitute is an option for teams that don't need Wartortle's help in removing hazards and makes it even more threatening, giving Wartortle free setup opportunities on passive Pokemon such as Corsola and Vullaby. Substitute can also be used offensively to put Wartortle in Torrent range. Hydro Pump is an option for OHKOing Silvally-Ice after rocks damage and 2HKOing Dusclops at Torrent range at +2.

Wartortle is better used in the late-game after its checks such as Klang, Ivysaur, and Palpitoad are weakened, therefore Knock Off support from Pokemon such as Pikachu, Galarian Linoone, and Leafeon Machoke is welcomed during the early stages of the game. The high amount of Grass-types in the ZU metagame makes partners such as Klang, Silvally-Ice, (AC) and Vespiquen recommended. Stallbreakers such as Ivysaur, Grapploct, (AC) and Oranguru are also excellent partners for Wartortle since it struggles to get past stall staples such as Pyukumuku and Dusclops. Additional checks to Pokemon such as Eiscue and Silvally-Ice such as Persian and Stonjourner are also good partners since they give Wartortle more freedom to setup if those threats aren't dealt with.
