move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Outrage / Dragon Claw / Stone Edge

Flygon's access to STAB Earthquake along with U-turn, strong priority, and defensive utility from its Ground and Electric immunities make it a potent wallbreaker in the tier. Outrage hits Ground-resistant foes such as Chesnaught and Talonflame hard. Dragon Claw can be used for a safer option that doesn't lock Flygon in. Stone Edge is another option that decimates the likes of Talonflame and Yanmega without locking itself into Outrage and is its only way of hitting Galarian Weezing. First Impression provides valuable priority, allowing it to keep setup sweepers such as Dragon Dance Feraligatr and Tidy Up Maushold in check; this provides immense utility against hyper offense teams. U-turn allows it to pivot out of bad matchups such as Galarian Weezing and Slowbro and bring in dangerous wallbreakers like Armarouge and Volcanion. Choice Band lets Flygon threaten physically defensive Pokemon such as Hippowdon. Levitate provides Flygon with a Spikes immunity, allowing it to function as a resilient pivot. Tera Steel flips the Fairy- and Dragon-type weakness into a resistance, turning the tables on Pokemon like Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Salamence that threaten it while allowing Flygon to check threats such as Revavroom and opposing Flygon. Tera Bug strengthens Flygon's U-turn and makes First Impression even more potent at revenge killing threats such as Armarouge and Maushold.

Choice Band Flygon fits best on bulky offense teams, which enjoy its role compression with its Ground and Electric immunities as well as its wallbreaking prowess, pivoting ability, and priority. Flygon likes pairing up with partners such as Life Orb Reuniclus, Choice Specs Gardevoir, and Calm Mind Fezandipiti, which rip apart Flygon answers such as Galarian Weezing and Slowbro, while Flygon takes care of Steel-type Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra and Jirachi that trouble them. Frail special attackers such as Noivern and Gengar also enjoy Flygon's ability to bring them in safely in front of specially frail Pokemon like Chesnaught and Slowbro. Slow special wallbreakers like Volcanion, Empoleon, and Magnezone appreciate the easy entry Flygon provides with U-turn on Pokemon such as Galarian Weezing and Hippowdon, while Flygon busts through special tanks such as Umbreon and Fezandipiti for them; all of them resist Fairy-type moves from Pokemon such as Gardevoir and Mimikyu for Flygon, and the latter two resist Dragon-type moves from the likes of Salamence. Rotom-C is another great partner, as it threatens Hippowdon and Slowbro while forming a VoltTurn core with Flygon. Calm Mind Suicune is also a great teammate that enjoys free setup opportunities on the likes of Talonflame and Hippowdon while still providing Flygon a switch-in against the likes of Basculegion-F and Noivern; in return, Flygon is immune to Electric and deals with Hisuian Goodra. Bulky Steel-type pokemon such as Jirachi and Registeel make great partners, as they check the aforementioned Fairy- and Dragon-type Pokemon.

Flygon's excellent typing, decent bulk and resilience make it a potent wallbreaker in the tier Emphasize on what makes Flygon unique as a wallbreaker in RU, with the great and rare STAB Earthquake, strong priority, U-turn access, and the defensive utility of ground+electric immunity. Its STAB combo compliments each other nicely as Ground disposes of the steels and fairies that might try to check Flygon whereas Dragon is great to deal with the tiers grass- and flying-types. Its access to U-Turn also make it a pivot as it easily enables the many special breakers the tier has to offer such as Thundurus, Gardevoir and Volcanion. Earthquake is a classic STAB move with no drawbacks. You don't need to explain STAB Earthquake It is followed by Outrage which hits Ground resists such as Chesnaught and Talonflame hard. Dragon Claw can be used for a more reliable safer option that doesn't trap Flygon, however, its much weaker. Stone Edge is another option that decimates Talonflame and Ribombee It allows Flygon to threaten Talonflame/Noivern/Salamence without having to read a switchin and lock itself into Outrage. It's also Flygon's only way of hitting Galarian Weezing. First Impression provides valuable priority Give 2 examples of mons it helps dealing with + mention the utility it has against Hyper Offense in general. and . (AC)U-Turn allows it to pivot out of bad match-ups such as Galarian-Weezing and Gardevoir Slowbro. Tera Steel flips the Fairy and Dragon weakness into a resistance while allowing Flygon to check threats such as Revavroom and opposing Flygon. Tera Bug strengthens Flygon's U-Turn, and making First Impression allowing it to even more potent at revenge killing threats such as Tera Ground Revavroom and Salamence Maushold with the latter.

Flygon fits best on bulky offense teams which enjoy its role compression with its ground and electric immunity as well as its wallbreaking prowess and pivoting abilities and priority!. Flygon likes pairing up with partners such as Life Orb Reuniclus two more examples of mons that threaten geezing and slowbro while struggling against steels which rips apart Flygon answers such as Galarian Weezing and Slowbro while Flygon takes cares of Steel-type pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra and Jirachi that trouble Reuniclus them. ((Rotom-C is another great partner as it threatens Hippowdon and Slowbro while forming a volturn core with Flygon.)) Move this after the part about special attackers in general Other frail special attackers such as Thundurus and Armarouge and slow special breakers like Volcanion and Magnezone too which appreciate the easy entry Flygon provides on specially frail pokemon such as Slowbro and Chesnaught also make great teammates. Empoleon is another pokemon that finds Flygon's pivoting abilities to its interest how so? is it unique to Empoleon? while providing a backbone to Flygon vs Ice and Fairy- type pokemon such as Alolan Ninetales and Gardevoir. Mention Offensive Calm Mind Suicune as a great partner. (elaborate on why) Other physical attackers such as Crawdaunt are also good partners as they can help Flygon overwhelm shared checks like Chesnaught. Flygon doesn't generally need hazard support due to its stealth rock resistance and spikes immunity.

Flygon's access to the rare STAB Earthquake along with U-Turn, strong priority, (AC) and its defensive utility of a Ground and Electric-type immunity make it a potent wallbreaker in the tier. Its STAB combination complements each other nicely as Ground disposes of the steel- and fairy-type Pokemon that might try to switch into Flygon whereas Dragon is great to deal with the tier's grass- and flying-type Pokemon fluff, this is just explaining the type chart and the part about the STABs has less merit considering stone edge is slashed over dragon stab. Its access to U-Turn also make it a pivot as it easily enables the many special breakers the tier has to offer such as Armarouge, Gardevoir and Volcanion move this to the other highlighted U-turn line and reword by talking about flygon pivoting out into a special threat after luring a physically defensive tank like galarian weezing. Outrage hits Ground resists such as Chesnaught and Talonflame hard. Dragon Claw can be used for a safer option that doesn't trap Flygon, however, its much weaker. Stone Edge is another option that decimates the likes of Talonflame, Noivern and Salamence Dragon Claw does the same thing for them + they're unlikely to ever switch in and Yanmega without locking itself into Outrage and is its only way to of hitting Galarian Weezing. First Impression provides valuable priority allowing it to keep pokemon setup sweepers such as Dragon Dance Necrozma and Feraligatr both of these are around B territory, mention another popular mon like Maushold in check. It also provides immense utility vs hyper offense teams. merge this with the previous sentence. U-Turn allows it to pivot out of bad match-ups such as Galarian Weezing and Slowbro. Briefly mention levitate's ground immunity and how it improves flygon as a pivot by making it immune to most entry hazards. Tera Steel flips the Fairy- and Dragon-type weakness into a resistance talk about this enabling flygon to deal with faster threats like noivern and scarf gardevoir that might try to take it out while allowing Flygon to check threats such as Revavroom and opposing Flygon. Tera Bug strengthens Flygon's U-Turn and makes First Impression even more potent at revenge killing threats such as Tera Ground Revavroom too specific Armarouge and Maushold with the latter.

Choice Band Flygon fits best on bulky offense teams which enjoy its role compression with its Ground and Electric-type immunity as well as its wallbreaking prowess, (AC) and pivoting ability, (AC) and priority. Flygon likes pairing up with partners such as Life Orb Reuniclus, Choice Specs Gardevoir, (AC) and Calm Mind Fezandipiti which rip apart Flygon answers such as Galarian Weezing and Slowbro while Flygon takes care of Steel-type Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra and Jirachi that trouble them. Other frail special attackers such as Noivern and Armarouge as well as slow special wallbreakers like Volcanion and Magnezone which appreciate the easy entry Flygon provides with U-turn on specially frail Pokemon such as Slowbro and Chesnaught mention that they also appreciate flygon's ability to break through special tanks like Umbreon and Fezandipiti also make great teammates. Rotom-C is another great partner as it threatens Hippowdon and Slowbro while forming a VoltTurn core with Flygon. Empoleon is another pokemon that finds Flygon's pivoting abilities to its interest as a safe entry allows Empoleon to use its offensive capabilities instead of wasting turns using roost while providing a backbone to Flygon vs ice and fairy-type pokemon such as Alolan Ninetales and Gardevoir. merge this with the "Other frail special attackers" line by adding offensive empoleon as an example after volcanion and magnezone, and mentioning how they check fairies and the latter two check dragons; being able to safely fire off attacks isnt unique to empoleon, neither is checking fairy-type pokemon. Offensive Calm Mind Suicune is also a great teammate that enjoys free set up opportunity on the likes of Talonflame and Palossand Hippowdon while still providing Flygon with some backbone vs a switch-in against the likes of Barraskewda Basculegion-F and Noivern, in return, Flygon provides Suicune with a crucial Electric-type immunity and a way to deal with Hisuian Goodra. Talk about defensive Steel-type partners that can tank Fairy- and Dragon-type attacks targeted at Flygon from Pokemon like Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Cyclizar.

Needs some adjustments but good job overall, implement and tag me for review.
 
U-Turn allows it to pivot out of bad match-ups such as Galarian Weezing and Slowbro with Levitate providing Flygon with a spikes immunity, allowing it to function as a resilient pivot.

You should separate this line into two: the first one should talk about Flygon pivoting out of Gweez and Bro into special attackers like Garde and Armarouge that can threaten them. The second line should talk about the spikes immunity. Also, add a line very briefly describing Choice Band.

Slow special wallbreakers like Volcanion, Empoleon, and Magnezone appreciate the easy entry Flygon provides with U-turn on Pokemon such as Galarian Weezing and Hippowdon while it busts through special tanks such as Umbreon and Fezandipiti for them with all of them resisting Fairy-type moves example of Fairy attacker for Flygon while the latter two resist Dragon-type moves example
Click to expand...
You do list fairy- and dragon-type examples at the end of paragraph 2, there you can just write "the aforementioned Fairy- and Dragon-types".

Implement these and should be good to go for GP
