=========

Haxorus is a solid physical wallbreaker in the 1v1 metagame thanks to its tremendous Attack stat and a great ability in Mold Breaker, which allows it to bypass abilities such as Disguise and Sturdy from Pokemon like Mimikyu and Sawk. Additionally, Haxorus's access to high-Base Power moves like Outrage, Iron Tail, Earthquake, Poison Jab, and Close Combat allows it to cover a variety of different threats in the metagame like Choice Band Dracovish, Sylveon, all formes of Rotom, Whimsicott, and Tyranitar. The HP and Defense EVs enable Haxorus to beat Choice Scarf Mimikyu, surviving one Play Rough. Generally, Haxorus should avoid other Choice Scarf users such as Galarian Darmanitan, Dracovish, and Togekiss, as they are all faster than it and can use their respective moves to take it out. It also should avoid bulky Pokemon like Corviknight, as it will lose easily.

Bulky Pokemon like Sylveon, Vaporeon, and Tyranitar are helpful when handling fast Choice Scarf attackers like Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Togekiss. In return, they all appreciate Haxorus's ability to wallbreak stall Pokemon like defensive Rotom-H and Umbreon. Steel-types like Aegislash and Choice Scarf Durant help handle common Fairy-types like Sylveon and Togekiss more reliably, as Iron Tail has a chance to miss. In return, Haxorus can handle the Ground-types that hinder them such as Excadrill, Choice Band Diggersby, and Steelix. Fire-types such as Chandelure, Cinderace, and Arcanine are useful in handling the same Steel-type Pokemon like Corviknight and Aegislash. They, on the other hand, appreciate Haxorus's ability to handle Water-types like Rotom-W and Toxapex instead.

Mention Poison Jab in 1st paragraph, it’s notably missing (mention that it’s for Whimsicott)

Corsola-G, Mandibuzz

Haxorus loses to both of these. Corsola can spam Strength Sap. Mandibuzz spams Iron Defense.

Poison Adhesive said:
Golisopod, Inteleon, and Rotom-W.

loses to all 3 of these, (forgot that Earthquake was useful for Rotom, my bad)

Weezing-G

no, you can’t KO Weezing even with band

one-on-one

this is highly implied by your 1v1 tag on the analysis. It’s fluff.

Nope, Counter / Iron Defense both beat Haxorus

1. Slash EQ over Poison Jab

2. Get better examples, and calc them to be sure

After implementation, QC 1/2
