[SET COMMENTS]
Nymble functions as a priority attacker capable of being both a revenge killer and a potential late-game cleaner that abuses Tinted Lens and Life Orb-boosted Bug-type moves. First Impression gives Nymble an incredibly strong first-turn-entry priority move that allows it to threaten to revenge kill most of the metagame's offensive threats with proper chip. Leech Life lets Nymble stay in and make progress instead of pivoting out while offsetting Life Orb recoil and easing entry hazard chip damage with meaningful recovery. U-turn supports Nymble’s role on momentum-heavy structures by punishing switches into bulkier answers, bringing in teammates that exploit them, and maintaining momentum while racking up chip that pushes future First Impression or Leech Life rolls into KO range. Agility allows Nymble to turn into a threatening cleaner that can outrun nearly every relevant Choice Scarf user once it sets up, while Sucker Punch trades that endgame sweeping potential for a more repeatable priority that punishes full-attacking sets after First Impression has been used. An Adamant Nature with 228 EVs maximizes Nymble's Attack to capitalize on Life Orb and Tinted Lens, while 236 EVs in Speed allows it to hit 14 Speed, allowing it to outpace some defensive switch-ins, such as Mudbray, Mareanie, and Foongus. Agility allows for sweeping potential and a way to out play protect, which conveniently helps pressure more Shellder sets that hit 13 speed. The leftover EVs in Defense help to ease damage against common priority moves such as Fake Out and Sucker Punch. Tera Bug amplifies Nymble's main gameplan by further boosting First Impression, Leech Life, and U-turn, turning previously manageable rolls into guaranteed KOs and making it much harder for even bulky resists to pivot around its attacks once Tera Bug is committed.

Nymble fits best on offensive structures and VoltTurn-style teams that value the combination of strong priority, chip damage, and momentum it provides. It pairs well with pivoters like Mienfoo and Chincou who spread chip with U-turn and Volt-Switch, and take advantage of softened teams that are forced to play conservatively around Tinted Lens-boosted First Impression. Life Orb recoil and frequent switching quickly wear Nymble down, so it appreciates reliable entry hazard control from spinners like Toedscool and Alolan Sandshrew, which keep Stealth Rock and Spikes from limiting the number of times it can safely enter the field. Nymble struggles against bulky Pokemon that can cripple its damage via Knock Off, hampering its revenge killing potential, or threaten to knock it out. Vullaby is an example of both, able to comfortably stomach both First Impression and Sucker Punch while threatening to OHKO with Brave Bird, Air Slash, and Heat Wave. Tinkatink is another such bulky Pokemon who offers a real resistance vs all of Nymbles common moves, while threating to heal off the chip damage with Draining Kiss or punish its momentum based gameplan with Stealth Rocks. Nymble appreciates partners like Glimmet and Toedscool that weaken foes into range of Nymble's First Impression or Sucker Punch via entry hazards and pack coverage to address the bulky checks. Other strong partners include Vullably, Tinkatink, Mareanie and Alolan Sandshrew whose typicall coverage are able to help alleviate pressure by threating its common bulky checks. In return, Nymble offers immediate revenge killing, strong tempo, and a dangerous endgame presence when its answers have been adequately chipped.

U-turn supports Nymble's role on momentum-heavy structures, allowing it to punish switches into bulkier answers and bring in teammates that exploit them. U-turn allows Nymble to mantaining momentum while racking up chip that pushes future First Impression or Leech Life rolls into KO range. Agility allows Nymble to turn into a threatening cleaner that can outrun nearly every relevant Choice Scarf user once it sets up, while Sucker Punch trades that endgame sweeping potential for more repeatable priority that punishes full-attacking sets after First Impression has been used. An Adamant Nature with 228 EVs maximizes Nymble's Attack to capitalize on Life Orb and Tinted Lens, (ac) while 236 EVs in Speed allows it to hit 14 Speed, (ac) letting allowing it to outpace most some defensive switch-ins, such as Mudbray, Mareanie, and Foongus. Shell Smash Shellder when using Agility into protect, and tie with Jolly Alolan Sandshrew in Snow. (Alolan sandshrew on snow is not common enough to be worth mentioning, and you can reprhase this to note out only the agility into shellder interaction, maybe starting out with "as well as being able to" after mentioning defensive switch ins aboeve) The leftover EVs in Defense help to ease damage against common priority moves such as Fake Out, Sucker Punch and Ice Shard. Tera Bug amplifies Nymble's main gameplan by further boosting First Impression, Leech Life, and U-turn, turning previously manageable rolls into guaranteed KOs and making it much harder for even bulky resists to pivot around its attacks once Tera Bug is committed.

Nymble fits best on offensive structures and VoltTurn-style teams that value the combination of strong priority, chip damage, and momentum it provides. It pairs well with pivoters like Mienfoo, who can Knock Off bulky checks, spread chip with U-turn, and take advantage of softened teams that are forced to play conservatively around Tinted Lens-boosted First Impression. Life Orb recoil and frequent switching quickly wear Nymble down, so it appreciates reliable entry hazard control from spinners like Toedscool and Alolan Sandshrew, which keep Stealth Rock and Spikes from limiting the number of times it can safely enter the field. Nymble struggles against bulky Flying-types such as Vullaby, which can comfortably stomach both First Impression and Sucker Punch, threaten to OHKO with Brave Bird, Air Slash, and Heat Wave as well are reduce its potency by removing its Life Orb with Knock Off. Nymble also struggles against Tinkatink who offers a real resistance vs all of Nymbles common moves, while threating to heal off the chip damage with Draining Kiss or punish its momentum based gameplan with Stealth Rocks. (Here you can also change the structure mentioning nymble struggles against bulky resists, and name the commons ones, since vullaby is the only bulky flying type we have as a common one, you dont need to note that, just list vullaby along with the others. You can also mention how those bulky resists are usually able to win 1v1 or knock off its life orb to stop potential revenge kills.) Nymble appreciates partners like Glimmet that weaken foes into range of Nymble's First Impression or Sucker Punch via entry hazards. In return, Nymble offers immediate revenge killing, strong tempo, and a dangerous endgame presence when its answers have been adequately chipped. (Adding hazard setters and examples of those is good, no need to mention only glimmet. You also need to mention partners that are able to deal with its bulky checks, like mienfoo, vullaby, tinkatink, mareanie, sandshrew and so on)


Overall looking pretty good, just need to work a bit more on how to deal with its checks

U-turn allows Nymble to mantaining momentum while racking up chip that pushes future First Impression or Leech Life rolls into KO range. i think both of these could get merged into only one sentence. Agility allows Nymble to turn into a threatening cleaner that can outrun nearly every relevant Choice Scarf user once it sets up, while Sucker Punch trades that endgame sweeping potential for a more repeatable priority that punishes full-attacking sets after First Impression has been used.
