[SET COMMENTS]
With Sharpness powering up its STAB moves, Hisuian Samurott is a powerful attacker in addition to providing strong support for offensive teams with the Spikes it sets with Ceaseless Edge; it also has the ability to pivot safely thanks to Heavy-Duty Boots. Razor Shell and Aqua Cutter are comparably strong STAB options, the difference being Razor Shell trades a slight dip of accuracy for the ability to chip down walls with Defense drops, and Aqua Cutter is slightly weaker but is fully accurate and has a chance for damage to spike upwards with the higher critical hit rate while also avoiding contact effects like Rocky Helmet and Moltres' Flame Body. Knock Off removes Heavy-Duty Boots from Hisuian Samurott's foes and thus leaves them susceptible to the Spikes produced by Ceaseless Edge, as well as removing Rocky Helmet, which opens it up to keep attacking with its contact moves. As a support option, Encore is useful to lock Pokemon like Alomomola and Dondozo into setup moves, while Flip Turn can keep up momentum, help Hisuian Samurott escape from unfavorable matchups against slower foes like Primarina, and keep pressure on the opponent by pivoting between teammates smoothly. Heavy-Duty Boots provides Hisuian Samurott the immunity to entry hazards, which lets it be far more active throughout the course of a game. Tera Fire gives Hisuian Samurott an immunity to burns and provides it with a free turn against a foe attempting to burn it such as Moltres. The EV spread maximizes Hisuian Samurott's Attack and Speed with a Jolly nature, allowing it to outspeed maximum Speed Gholdengo and neutral nature Landorus-T and Great Tusk.

Hisuian Samurott fits well on offense teams and specifically is very useful on entry hazard stack structures. Stealth Rock users such as Landorus-T and Tinkaton make good partners for Hisuian Samurott, which also spreads entry hazards with Ceaseless Edge, creating hazard stacking cores to put pressure on foes. Hisuian Samurott's ability to pivot with Flip Turn synergizes well with other offensive pivots like Cinderace and Dragapult, allowing the team to pressure opposing Pokemon as well as pivot to any potential counters. Hisuian Samurott struggles to make progress on its own against bulkier Pokemon that resist its STAB moves like Alomomola, Dondozo, and Zamazenta. Zamazenta can easily dispatch Hisuian Samurott with a Fighting-type STAB move with no way for it to damage Zamazenta back. A strong Fairy-type like Enamorus or Iron Valiant can help deal with Zamazenta while also forming an offensive core with Hisuian Samurott, which can deal with threats to them like Galarian Slowking, easily switching in on Psychic-type moves like Future Sight. These Fairy-types also pose a threat to Hisuian Samurott, outspeeding and threatening it with Moonblast; teammates like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, Tinkaton, and Kingambit can cover these Pokemon, the former two adding to the offensive pressure of the whole team with more special attacks to complement Hisuian Samurott's physical attacks. Gholdengo especially synergizes with Hisuian Samurott, as it's able to efficiently block entry hazard removal and keep up the Spikes set by Ceaseless Edge. Kingambit, on the other hand, is similar to Hisuian Samurott, as it's a physical attacker and can help break down their shared checks like Dondozo and Skarmory over the course of a game. Together, along with other Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Hisuian Samurott can become a powerful part of Dark-type spam archetypes that can overwhelm shared counters such as Dondozo and Clefable. Galarian Slowking is another teammate that can deal with Fairy-types, shrugging off Moonblast as well as Fighting-type moves from Hisuian Samurott's counters like Zamazenta, which it can also force out with Future Sight. Hisuian Samurott also struggles against offensive Pokemon that outspeed it and can take advantage of that to pivot, such as Cinderace, Dragapult, and Ogerpon. Having some speed control such as Ribombee's Sticky Web can assist with this while synergizing with the rest of Hisuian Samurott's hazards.

Razor Shell and Aqua Cutter are comparably strong STAB options, the difference being Razor Shell trades a slight dip of accuracy with the ability to chip down walls with defense drops, and Aqua Cutter is slightly weaker with the chance for damage to spike upwards with the higher critical hit rate. As a support option, Encore takes advantage of Hisuian Samurott’s speed to lock Pokemon like Kyurem or Dragonite into setup moves, slightly confusing phrasing: Samurott-H isn't outspeeding and Encoring like Valiant, and it's naturally slower than Kyurem while Flip Turn can synergize with other offensive teammates to keep up momentum. also helps Samurott get out of unfavorable matchups against slow guys like Primarina Tera Fire gives Hisuian Samurott an immunity to burns, preventing its Attack from being halved redundant and giving it a free turn against an opponent attempting to burn it, such as Dragapult. The EV spread is designed to maximize Attack and Speed, the Jolly nature allowing Hisuian Samurott to outspeed max Speed Gholdengo and neutral natured Landorus-T and Great Tusk, where it normally would not. explain why Boots is on this set over something like Sash: increased ability to move in and out of battle beyond lead, etc

Hisuian Samurott fits well on offense teams. Stealth Rock users such as Landorus-T and Ting-Lu make good partners for Hisuian Samurott, who also spreads entry hazards with Ceaseless Edge, creating hazard stacking cores to put pressure on opponents. Teammates that may struggle to get in safely will appreciate Hisuian Samurott's ability to pivot with Flip Turn. Teammates like Cinderace and Dragapult benefit from this momentum, and could provide the same to the rest of the team with U-turn. Hisuian Samurott struggles to make progress on its own against bulkier Pokemon that resist its STAB moves. The most dangerous opponent it could face is Zamazenta, which can easily dispatch Hisuian Samurott with Body Press with no way for it to damage Zamazenta back. A strong Fairy-type like Enamorus and Iron Valiant can help deal with Zamazenta, while also forming an offensive core with Hisuian Samurott who can deal with threats to them like Galarian Slowking. Slowking-Galar is also a notably used teammate; it absorbs Moonblasts and Fighting-type moves, and provides Future Sight support against stuff like Zama. These Fairy-types also pose a threat to Hisuian Samurott, outspeeding and threatening it with Moonblast. Samurott-Hisui is also notably worried about Kyurem, who outspeeds it and oneshots it with 252 SpA Freeze-Dry; it's also never 2HKOed by its moves, which means DD or Scale Shot sets can exploit it to set up Teammates like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, and Kingambit can cover these Pokemon, the former two adding to the offensive pressure of the whole team with more Special attacks to compliment Hisuian Samurott's physical attacks, emphasize Gholdengo keeping the Ceaseless hazards up, it's Samurott-H's most common partner in recent tournaments where as Kingambit is very similar to Hisuian Samurott in many ways they're both physical Dark types but i don't think they're all that similar and can help breakdown their shared checks like Dondozo and Skarmory over the course of a game. doubling down on this, Roaring Moon is also a notable teammate on Dark-spam offense archetypes

With Sharpness powering up its STAB moves, Hisuian Samurott is a powerful attacker, in addition to providing strong support for offensive teams with the Spikes it spreads from Ceaseless Edge. Opening sentence should be specific to this set, so mention why its a good boots attacker not just attacker. Razor Shell and Aqua Cutter are comparably strong STAB options, the difference being Razor Shell trades a slight dip of accuracy with the ability to chip down walls with defense drops, and Aqua Cutter is slightly weaker, but is fully accurate and has a chance for damage to spike upwards with the higher critical hit rate. As a support option, Encore is useful to lock Pokemon like Kyurem or Dragonite into setup moves, I would use defensive pokemon examples here instead of offensive, like maybe Alomomola or Dondozo while Flip Turn can keep up momentum and help Hisuian Samurott escape from unfavorable matchups against slower opponents like Primarina Worth mentioning how Flip Turn can keep up pressure by synergizing with other teammates. This can also involve the next sentence which is similar related to keeping up pressure by coming in multiple times. Heavy-Duty Boots provides Hisuian Samurott with increased survivability from the immunity to entry hazards, which lets it be far more active throughout the course of a game. Tera Fire gives Hisuian Samurott an immunity to burns and gives it a free turn against an opponent attempting to burn it, such as Dragapult Moltres. I don't think Dragapult is staying in to burn Samurott very often so a more defensive example is relevant. The EV spread maximizes Attack and Speed, the Jolly nature allowing Hisuian Samurott to outspeed max Speed Gholdengo and neutral natured Landorus-T and Great Tusk.

Hisuian Samurott fits well on offense teams Be more specific to this set. It's an offensive pokemon but boots in particular fits on hazard stack offenses more than HO. Stealth Rock users such as Landorus-T and Ting-Lu Tinkaton Ting-Lu is not a great partner IMO as they share weaknesses and overlap as spikes setters, Tinkaton is a better choice as it has better type synergy. make good partners for Hisuian Samurott, who also spreads entry hazards with Ceaseless Edge, creating hazard stacking cores to put pressure on opponents. Teammates that may struggle to get in safely will appreciate Hisuian Samurott's ability to pivot with Flip Turn. Teammates like Cinderace and Dragapult benefit from this momentum, and could provide the same to the rest of the team with U-turn. I'm not sure exactly how to say this but the previous two sentences here need work. Samurott isn't your typical tank and pivot pokemon, offensive volt-turners are more about keeping the pressure on by threatening the current pokemon as well as bringing in a threat to any potential counter. Hisuian Samurott struggles to make progress on its own against bulkier Pokemon that resist its STAB moves like Alomomola, Dondozo, and Zamazenta. The most dangerous opponent it could face is Zamazenta, which can easily dispatch Hisuian Samurott with Fighting-type STAB with no way for it to damage Zamazenta back.

Add in a mention of knock off here. Possibly the most important option as it is guaranteed progress by removing heavy duty boots for its own hazards. Could also mention that it removes rocky helmet which is annoying for samurott's moves which all make contact.

With Sharpness powering up its STAB moves Ceaseless Edge, Razor Shell, and Aqua Cutter, Hisuian Samurott is a powerful attacker, (RC) in addition to providing strong support for offensive teams with the Spikes it spreads from sets with Ceaseless Edge, (AC) and its ability to pivot safely thanks to Heavy-Duty Boots. Razor Shell and Aqua Cutter are comparably strong STAB options, the difference being Razor Shell trades a slight dip of accuracy with the ability to chip down walls with defense Defense drops, and Aqua Cutter is slightly weaker, (RC) but is fully accurate and has a chance for damage to spike upwards with the higher critical hit rate. Knock Off is an extremely useful tool to remove opponents removes Heavy-Duty Boots from Hisuian Samurott's foes and thus leaves them susceptible to the Spikes produced by Ceaseless Edge, (RC) as well as removing Rocky Helmet, (AC) which opens Hisuian Samurott it up to keep attacking with its contact moves. As a support option, Encore is useful to lock Pokemon like Alomomola or and Dondozo into setup moves, while Flip Turn can keep up momentum and help Hisuian Samurott escape from unfavorable matchups against slower opponents like Primarina and keep pressure on the opponent by pivoting between teammates smoothly. Heavy-Duty Boots provides Hisuian Samurott with increased survivability from the immunity to entry hazards, which lets it be far more active throughout the course of a game. Tera Fire gives prevents Hisuian Samurott an immunity to burns from being inflicted with burn and gives it a free turn against an opponent a foe attempting to burn it, (RC) such as Moltres. The EV spread maximizes Attack and Speed, (RC) the with a Jolly nature, (AC) allowing Hisuian Samurott to outspeed maximum Speed Gholdengo and neutral natured Landorus-T and Great Tusk.

Hisuian Samurott fits well on offense teams and specifically is very useful on hazard stack structures. Stealth Rock users such as Landorus-T and Tinkaton make good partners for Hisuian Samurott, who which also spreads entry hazards with Ceaseless Edge, creating hazard stacking cores to put pressure on opponents foes. Hisuian Samurott's ability to pivot with Flip Turn synergizes well with other offensive teammates with pivot moves, (RC) like Cinderace and Dragapult, allowing the team to put offensive pressure on opposing Pokemon as well as pivot to any potential counters. Hisuian Samurott struggles to make progress on its own against bulkier Pokemon that resist its STAB moves like Alomomola, Dondozo, and Zamazenta. Zamazenta can easily dispatch of Hisuian Samurott with Fighting-type STAB move with no way for it to damage Zamazenta back. A Strong Fairy-types like Enamorus and Iron Valiant can help deal with Zamazenta, (RC) while also forming an offensive core with Hisuian Samurott, (AC) who which can deal with threats to them like Galarian Slowking, easily switching in on Psychic-type moves like Future Sight. These Fairy-types also pose a threat to Hisuian Samurott, outspeeding and threatening it with Moonblast; (add semicolon) teammates like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, Tinkaton, and Kingambit can cover these Pokemon, the former two adding to the offensive pressure of the whole team with more Special special attacks to compliment Hisuian Samurott's physical attacks. Gholdengo especially synergizes with Hisuian Samurott, (AC) as it's its able to efficiently block entry hazard removal and keep up the Spikes set by Ceaseless Edge. Kingambit, (AC) on the other hand, (AC) is similar to Hisuian Samurott, (AC) as its a physical attacker and can help breakdown break down their shared checks like Dondozo and Skarmory over the course of a game. Together, along with other Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Hisuian Samurott can become a powerful part of Dark-type spam archetypes which that can overwhelm shared counters such as Dondozo or and Clefable. Galarian Slowking is another teammate that can deal with Fairy-types, shrugging off Moonblasts Moonblast as well as Fighting-type moves from Hisuian Samurott's counters like Zamazenta, which it can also force out with Future Sight. Hisuian Samurott also struggles against offensive Pokemon that outspeed it and can take advantage of that to pivot, such as Cinderace, Dragapult, (AC) and Ogerpon. Having some speed control such as Ribombee's Sticky Web can assist with this while synergizing with the rest of Hisuian Samurott's hazards.
