Kleavor @ Choice Scarf
Name: Choice Scarf (Rock)

- Close Combat
- Night Slash / X-Scissor
- U-turn

[SET COMMENTS]
Kleavor finds a solid place on Rock-type teams thanks to a unique secondary Bug typing, granting it neutrality to Fighting- and Grass- type attacks. Stone Axe is a consistently strong attack, deleting Fire-types like Ogerpon-H and Ceruledge and neutral targets like Flutter Mane. It also sets up Stealth Rock unconditionally, clearing up moveslots for the rest of the team. Close Combat serves a crucial role in allowing Kleavor to hit Steel-types like Heatran and Hisuian Goodra that would otherwise wall it. Night Slash provides utility in allowing Kleavor to hit Gholdengo, which otherwise also walls it, along with being able to hit other Ghost-types like Dragapult and Spectrier. Meanwhile, X-Scissor provides a strong secondary STAB move that can remove Bug-weak targets like Ogerpon-W, Hoopa-U, Chien-Pao, and Slowbro reliably. U-turn provides a solid pivot tool along with a Bug-type attack should Kleavor forgo X-Scissor.

Ogerpon-C serves as an invaluable teammate, being able to threaten the Water-types that easily scare Kleavor out such as Toxapex, Swampert, and Keldeo. Glimmora provides incredible utility with Mortal Spin, which removes entry hazards, as well as its ability Toxic Debris, which helps to wear down threats that are weak to Toxic Spikes such as Iron Hands, the Ogerpon formes, and Great Tusk. Glimmora can also opt for Choice Specs, allowing it to remove physical walls like Toxapex, Corviknight, and Skarmory with minimal issue. Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine can remove Steel-types that can wall Kleavor such as Skarmory, Corviknight, and Gholdengo while also appreciating Kleavor's Stealth Rock chipping other threats down into OHKO range for Hisuian Arcanine's Rock-type STAB move such as Toxapex. Alternatively, Hisuian Arcanine can run a set with Substitute more reliably deal with threats like Kingambit, which prove problematic for Kleavor. Choice Band Iron Boulder, with its Psychic typing, can remove bulky Fighting- and Poison-types like Iron Hands, Okidogi, and Pecharunt that can otherwise easily set up on Kleavor. Iron Boulder can also serve as a devastating second Choice Scarf user, being able to outspeed threats like Meowscarada and Greninja and easily remove them. Tyranitar provides sand support, chipping targets down along with Thunder Wave to slow down opposing Choice Scarf threats such as Latias and Flutter Mane. Rhyperior, thanks to its immense physical bulk, can come in and remove troublesome targets like Gliscor, Iron Treads, and Sneasler. Setup sweepers such as Minior and Drednaw both appreciate Kleavor setting up Stealth Rock, making targets that may have been able to take hits, such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Arcahludon, fall.

Kleavor finds a solid place on Rock-type teams to a unique secondary Bug-typing granting it neutrality to Fighting and Grass type attacks and solid Sharpness boosted attacks (more of, because stone axe is just so broken and maybe since its able to deal with Ogepons, which is nice). Stone Axe is the main STAB of choice providing a consistently strong attack into neutral targets like Amoonguss and Primarina (maybe just mention it being able to murder fires + OHKO Flutter Mane because ofc it does :D) along with setting up Stealth Rock (unconditionally?) even against Hatterene clearing up moveslots for the rest of the team. Close Combat serves a crucial role in allowing to Kleavor to hit Steel-types like Iron Treads, Heatran, and Hisuian Goodra who would otherwise wall it. Night Slash provides utility in allowing Kleavor to hit Gholdengo which otherwise walls it along with catching other Ghost-types like Dragapult and Spectrier. X-Scissor meanwhile provides a strong secondary STAB that can remove Bug weak Targets like Ogerpon-W, Hoopa-U, and Chien-Pao reliably (its also strong enough that Sableye/Slowbro cant take it reliably/gets 2HKO'ed by it). U-turn provides a solid pivot option along with Bug-type (coverage?) should Kleavor forgo X-scissor.

Ogerpon-C serves as an invaluble invaluable teammate being able to threaten the Water-types that easily scare Kleavor such as Toxapex, Swampert, and Keldeo. Glimmora provides incredible utility with Mortal Spin support removing hazards and Toxic Debris helping to wear down threats such as Iron Hands, the Ogerpon formes, and Great Tusk (it can also run specs and take advantage of the uturn to spam specs pgem onto flying). Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine can remove would be Kleavor checks such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Gholdengo thanks to its mighty dual STABs and majorly appreciates Kleavor's Stealth Rocks chipping threats down into OKHO range (alternatively, it can run a substitute/non choiced set to deal with steel and kingambit which can be hard for Kleavor). Choice Band Iron Boulder with its Psychic typing can remove bulky Fighting- and Poison-types like Iron Hands, Okidogi, and Pecharunt who otherwise can easily setup on Kleavor (alternatively, it can run a scarf set to kill scarf meow and gren for it. Scarf>Band>Air Balloon SD mayybe). Tyranitar provides sand support along with Thunderwave to slow down opposing Choice Scarf threats such as Meowscarada and Latias. Rhyperior thanks to its immense physical bulk can come in and remove targets like Gliscor, Iron Treads, and Sneasler making Kleavor's life much easier.
*add setup sweepers like Minior and Drednaw which benefit from rockies

after implementing ill check again, also be sure to remove the . after U-turn in the actual set section

Kleavor finds a solid place on Rock-type teams thanks to a unique secondary Bug-typing Bug typing, granting it neutrality to Fighting- and Grass- type attacks. Stone Axe is the main STAB of choice providing (fluff) is a consistently strong attack move, ("attack" could be mistaken for the Attack stat) deleting Fire-types like Ogerpon-H and Ceruledge and neutral targets like Ogerpon-H, Ceruledge, and (initial order implied ogerpon and ceruledge are neutral targets) Flutter Mane. (AP) along with setting It also sets up Stealth Rock unconditionally, clearing up moveslots move slots for the rest of the team (split the sentences into two to improve readability). Close Combat serves a crucial role in allowing to Kleavor to hit Steel-types like Heatran and Hisuian Goodra who that would otherwise wall it. Night Slash provides utility in allowing Kleavor to hit Gholdengo which that otherwise also walls it, along with being able to catch out hit ("catch out" is confusing terminology) other Ghost-types like Dragapult and Spectrier. Meanwhile, X-Scissor meanwhile provides a strong secondary STAB move that can remove Bug weak Targets targets weak to Bug-type attacks (same meaning, restructured for suitable readability) like Ogerpon-W, Hoopa-U, Chien-Pao, and Slowbro reliably. U-turn provides a solid pivot tool along with a Bug-type attack should Kleavor forgo X-scissor X-Scissor.

Ogerpon-C serves as an invaluable teammate, (AC) being able to threaten the Water-types that easily scare Kleavor out such as Toxapex, Swampert, and Keldeo.

Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine can remove would be (your examples are steel-types, not would be steel-types) Steel-types that can wall Kleavor such as Skarmory, Corviknight, and Gholdengo, (RC) while also appreciating Kleavor's Stealth Rocks Rock chipping other threats down into OHKO range for Hisuian Arcanine's Rock-type STAB move such as Toxapex down into OKHO range to Hisuian Arcanines Rock STAB (initial sentence was confusing and difficult to read so i moved the "consequence" up front and put examples towards the end). Alternatively, Hisuian Arcanine can run a set with Substitute to deal with Steel-types and like Kingambit (Kingambit IS a Steel-type? why mention it separately with "and"? did you mean to use "like" over "and"? if not then ignore this change) which prove problematic for Kleavor. Choice Band Iron Boulder, (AC) with its Psychic typing, (AC) can remove bulky Fighting- and Poison-types like Iron Hands, Okidogi, and Pecharunt who that can otherwise can (put "can" before otherwise instead of after otherwise) easily setup on Kleavor.

(this sentence was difficult to read and interpret due to the sentence structure, so i moved the examples up front. so basically "making targets that take hits like x fall instead" is now "making targets like x fall, which otherwise may have taken those hits". instead -> otherwise in this new sentence)
