Flamethrower

Will-O-Wisp / Spikes
[SET COMMENTS]
Coalossal is a decent defensive wall that fits well on Rock teams due to it being able to tank physical hits from Scizor, non-Choice Band Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada, which greatly threaten Rock teams. Coalossal does well in the Steel matchup, as it threatens Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Kingambit. Flame Body allows it to fish for burns to weaken physical threats like Kleavor, Scizor, Kingambit, Mimikyu, and Meowscarada. Body Press is a great move thanks to Coalossal's high Defense stat that allows it to deal incredible damage to Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Rapid Spin combined with Heavy-Duty Boots allows Coalossal to come in and remove hazards without taking any chip damage, so its teammates won't get worn down. Will-O-Wisp allows Coalossal to burn physical threats such as Kleavor, Hoopa-U, and Iron Hands. An alternative EV spread of 252 HP / 92 Def / 164 Spe allows Coalossal to outspeed and burn uninvested Kingambit with Will-O-Wisp. Spikes is another option to run on Coalossal over Will-O-Wisp to help Rock teams stack hazards and wear down foes.

Garganacl helps Coalossal by dealing with defensive Pokemon like Quagsire, Gastrodon, and Heatran with Salt Cure. In return Garganacl appreciates Coalossal checking Meowscarada. Air Balloon Shell Smash Drednaw is another good teammate for Coalossal, providing a soft Ground-type immunity and dealing with Ground- and Steel- types like Landorus-T, Sandy Shocks, Iron Treads, Heatran, and Hisuian-Goodra. Choice Scarf Glimmora with its diverse moveset is another option to pair with Coalossal, as it can outspeed and threaten to OHKO non-Choice Scarf users like Iron Valiant and Greninja. Glimmora can also deal with Water-, Fighting-, Dark-, and Dragon- Types like Quagsire, Hisuian Liligant, Hisuian Samurott, and Hydreigon with its various coverage moves. Furthermore, Glimmora run Air Balloon to act as an alternative Ground-type immunity that can deal with threats like Quagsire and Great Tusk. Tyranitar sets sand for Coalossal to boosts its Special Defense, which can allow Coalossal to tank special attacks from Choice Scarf Gholdengo and Choice Specs Magnezone and threaten them in return. Choice Band Lycanroc-D is a good revenge killer that can help out Coalossal by taking out threats such as Enamorus and Cloyster with Accelerock and Urshifu-R and Clodsire with Psychic Fangs. Hisuian Arcanine is another good revenge killer with Extreme Speed and can act as a wallbreaker, taking out foes such as Toxapex and Clodsire with Head Smash and Flare Blitz, respectively. Kleavor is a good lead for Rock teams, as it can deal damage while setting up Stealth Rock with Stone Axe, which helps with hazard stacking. In return, Coalossal complements Kleavor by dealing with Scizor. Diancie can ease the Fighting match by dealing decent damage to Gallade and Iron Valiant with Moonblast and by being able to take Fighting-type moves due to its Fairy-typing. In return, Coalossal helps Diancie by dealing with Scizor, Kingambit and Meowscarada.

Coalossal is an amazing defensive wall that fits perfect on Rock teams due to it being able to tank physical hits from Scizor, Chien-Pao and Meowscarada which greatly threatens Rock teams Mention as well what how Coalossal matches up well against Steel. Its ability Flame Body allows Coalossal to fish for burns to cripple This may be a pre-GP comment, but I wouldn't say cripple in an analysis. Using weaken would be better physical threats like non Punching Glove Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, Sneasler and Barraskewda. Flamethrower allows it to beat threats like Scizor, Corviknight would mention smthing like Gholdengo instead, since you only 3HKO Corv with Flamethrower and Meowscarada. Body Press is a great move due to Coalossal's great defense Physical Defense stats that allows it to deal incredible damage to Chien-Pao, Kingambit and Tyranitar I would honestly replace Tyranitar since Rock isn't really the best type in the current meta. Rapid Spin combine with Heavy-Duty Boots allows Coalossal to swap in and remove hazards without taking any chip damage to increase its longevity What do you mean by this? Wouldn't it be better to explain Rapid Spin removing hazards so that its teammates won't get worn down much?. Its Evs spread allows it to tank 3 sacred swords from Non Band Chien-Pao, and to outspeed Kingambit. The EV spread is only when you're running wisp. Otherwise run max HP and Def Will-O-Wisp allows Coalossal to burn and cripple mons. Spikes is another option to run on Coalossal over Wisp to help hazard stack for Rock teams. Move this before you mention the EVs

Due to Coalossal being 4x weak to Water types, Garganacl can make the Water match up less stressful as it can chip down threats like Quagsire, Dondozo, and Gastrodon with Salt Cure Garg is a bit oversold here. Maybe reword it a bit?
. Air Balloon Shell Smash Drednaw is good teammate for Coalossal being a soft ground immunity and being able to deal with Ground-, Poison-, and Steel- types like, Landorus-T, Toxapex, Iron Treads and Sandy Shocks. Choice Scarf Glimmora with its diversed moveset is another option to pair with Coalossal as it can outspeed non scarfers like Iron Valiant and Greninja, but to also to deal with Water-,Fighting-,Dark- and Dragon- Types like Quagsire, Liligant-Hisui, Samurott-Hisui and Hydreigon. Tyranitar sets Sandstorm for Coalossal to boosts its special defense and can act as a special defense wall that can tank special attacks from Walking Wake, Greninja, Sandy Shocks and Landorus which Coalossal greatly appreciates. Choice Band Lycanroc-Dusk is a good revenge killer that can help out Coalossal by taking out threats such as Azumarill, Cloyster with Accelerock and Urshifu-R and Clodsire with Psychic Fangs. Diancie can ease the Fighting match up due its Fairy typing by dealing decent damage to Great Tusk and Iron Valiant with Moonblast I wouldn't match up Diancie into Great Tusk since it outspeeds and OHKOs you. Also move this last. Kleavor is a good lead for Coalossal Rock teams Rock teams in general appreciate Kleavor as it can deal damage while setting up Stealth Rocks with Stone Axe as that helps with hazard stacking.

General comments:
Capitalize typings, stats, and moves
Put spaces after commas

Other comments:

Hisuian Arcanine is missing. It's also a great revenge killer alongside Lycanroc with Extreme Speed. In fact it hits more typings effectively than Accelrock due to Rock not being effective against more types than Normal
Will take another look after the checks

Will take another look after the checks
Implemented, also i have a few things to comment to yall. First off ty for even allowing me to do it in the first place as this is very fun for me. Second Im kind of sad that we dont even take it to consideration to mention Coalossal Signature move Tar Shot as its a amazing move and what separates Coalossal from the other Fire and Rock mons (ik Magcargo is not in the game but im just including it). As not only it lowers the opponent mon speed by 1 stage but it makes them weaker to fire moves which is just incredible by turning mons from resisting it to taking neutral to 2x to 4x even to 6x weak to fire. Third i only didnt put Arcanine Hisui in as because it is also fire and rock which would just beat the purpose on why even put colossal on a slot in the first place when you can just put its offensive counter part instead. Fourth, the whole arguement with Accelerock and Extreme speed is just eh as Both get resist by 3 types, Accelerock is STAB boosted and can hit Ghost where as Espeed can't. Lastly Thank you once again for doing the QC check CaptainDaimyo :D ALSO sorry for the long outtakes but the ev spread is meh as well due to Majority or the sample sets For Kingambit makes its speed to 172.

Coalossal is an amazing defensive wall that fits perfect on Rock teams due to it being able to tank physical hits from Scizor, Chien-Pao and Meowscarada which greatly threatens Rock teams. Coalossal does extremely well in the Steel matchup as it checks threatens I wouldn't really say check for Gholdengo since Scarf sets can 2HKO you with a predicted Focus Blast, and NP sets can OHKO you with a boosted rain. I would say change Ghold or use the word threatens instead Gholdengo and Kingambit by forcing them to swap out. Its ability Flame Body allows Coalossal to fish for burns to weaken physical threats like non Punching Glove Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, Sneasler and Barraskewda. Flamethrower allows it to beat threats like Scizor, Gholdengo and Meowscarada.

Rapid Spin combined with Heavy-Duty Boots allows Coalossal to swap in and remove hazards without taking any chip damage so its teammates won't get worn down. Will-O-Wisp combined with its EVs spread allows Coalossal to outspeed and weaken Kingambit. Spikes with Max HP / Max Def and a Bold Nature is another option to run on Coalossal over Wisp to help hazard stack for Rock teams.

Garganacl helps Coalossal by dealing with Defensive mons like Quagsire, Gastrodon, and Heatran with Salt Cure I would add that Garg appreciates Coalossal checking Meow. Air Balloon Shell Smash Drednaw is good teammate for Coalossal being a soft ground immunity and being able to deal with Ground-, Poison-, and Steel- types like, Landorus-T, Toxapex, Iron Treads and Sandy Shocks.

Tyranitar sets Sandstorm for Coalossal to boosts its special defense and can act as a special defense wall that can tank special attacks from Walking Wake, Greninja, Sandy Shocks and Landorus which Coalossal greatly appreciates Add examples of attacks Coalossal can survive with the SpD boost from Ttar's sand. Choice Band Lycanroc-Dusk is a good revenge killer that can help out Coalossal by taking out threats such as Azumarill, Cloyster with Accelerock and Urshifu-R and Clodsire with Psychic Fangs. Hisuian Arcanine is another good revenge killer with Extreme Speed and can be a Wallbreaker taking out Toxapex, Clodsire and Corviknight with Head Smash and Flare Blitz.

Coalossal @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: Physically Defensive (Rock)
Ability: Flame Body
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 164 Spe (What's the point of 248 HP here? You have HDBs.)
Bold Nature
- Flamethrower
- Body Press
- Rapid Spin
- Will-O-Wisp/Spikes

Coalossal is an amazing (it's definitely not amazing, it's a C tier ranked Rock/Fire mon. Use "good" or "decent" instead) defensive wall that fits perfect (again, does not fit "perfect" due to its myriad weaknesses and competition for team slots. Use "well") on Rock teams due to it being able to tank physical hits from Scizor, Chien-Pao, (need to say non-Choice Band Chien-Pao; 252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Sacred Sword vs. 252 HP / 92+ Def Coalossal: 268-316 (63.2 - 74.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO) and Meowscarada which greatly threatens Rock teams. Coalossal does extremely (overselling) well in the Steel matchup as it threatens Gholdengo and Kingambit. Its Coalossal's ability Flame Body allows Coalossal it to fish for burns to weaken physical threats like non Punching Glove Urshifu-R, (Coalossal has no business taking on Urshifu-R) Zamazenta, Sneasler and Barraskewda. (These examples are all incredibly strange to me considering Coalossal is massively weak to all of them. Substitute for examples such as Kleavor, Scizor, Kingambit, Mimikyu etc.) Flamethrower allows it Coalossal to beat threats like Scizor, Gholdengo, and Meowscarada. Body Press is a great move due to Coalossal's great ("great" used twice in one sentence; sub for "high" here) Physical Defense stat that allows it to deal incredible damage to Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Rapid Spin combined with Heavy-Duty Boots allows Coalossal to swap in and remove hazards without taking any chip damage so its teammates won't get worn down. Will-O-Wisp combined with its the suggested EVs spread allows Coalossal to outspeed and weaken burn Kingambit. (Considering this spread only allows you to outspeed completely uninvested Kingambit when most nowadays run at least some Speed combined with the large Speed investment required, I think the Max HP/Max Def set should be made the primary set and the 164 Spe spread should be moved to comments). Spikes with Max HP / Max Def and a Bold Nature is another option to run on Coalossal over Wisp to help hazard stack for Rock teams. (See previous comment)

Garganacl helps Coalossal by dealing with Ddefensive mons Pokemon like Quagsire, Gastrodon, and Heatran with Salt Cure. In return Garganacl appreciates Coalossal checking Meowscarada. Air Balloon Shell Smash Drednaw is another good teammate for Coalossal, being a soft ground Ground-type immunity and being able to that can deal with Ground-, Poison-, and Steel-types like, Landorus-T, Toxapex, Iron Treads and Sandy Shocks. (Dred doesn't deal well with Poisons as a whole because of Scarf Sneasler and Amoonguss) Choice Scarf Glimmora with its diversed moveset is another option to pair with Coalossal, as it can outspeed non-Choice-Scarfers like Iron Valiant and Greninja, (break this up into two sentences) but to also to (grammatically incorrect) deal with Water-,Fighting-, Dark- and Dragon-Ttypes like Quagsire, Liligant-Hisui, Samurott-Hisui and Hydreigon. (Could mention Air Balloon Glimmora as an alternative Ground-type immunity that can answer mons like Quagsire and Great Tusk) Tyranitar sets Sandstorm sand for Coalossal to boosts its sSpecial dDefense and can allow it to act as a special defense wall that can tank special attacks from Walking Wake, Greninja, Sandy Shocks, and Landorus which Coalossal greatly appreciates, (turn the following into a separate sentence) by being able to now tank Choice Specs users like Zoroark-Hisui's Focus Blast, Iron Valiant's Aura Sphere and can survive a Nasty Plot Boosted Gholdengo's Make it Rain under sand Sandstorm (Generally clean up this section, it's grammatically sloppy and for a lot of these mons I fail to see what being able to tank a special hit lets Coalossal actually do besides get 2HKO'd instead of OHKO'd. Some of these calcs are flat out incorrect too; Landorus, Walking Wake, and Greninja all still OHKO Coalossal with these EVs even under sand. In general I think you're exaggerating how good Coalossal actually is). Choice Band Lycanroc-Dusk is a good revenge killer that can help out Coalossal by taking out threats such as Azumarill (strange example; Azu doesn't get OHKO'd and massively threatens Lycan-D in return), Cloyster with Accelerock, and Urshifu-R and Clodsire with Psychic Fangs. Hisuian Arcanine is another good revenge killer with Extreme Speed and can be act as a Wwallbreaker taking out Toxapex, Clodsire, and Corviknight (Coalossal already beats Corv by itself) with Head Smash and Flare Blitz. Kleavor is a good lead for Rock teams as it can deal damage while setting up Stealth Rocks with Stone Axe, as that which helps with hazard stacking (Coal complements Kleavor by beating Scizor). Diancie can ease the Fighting match up due its Fairy-typing by dealing decent damage to Sneasler (you don't even 2HKO Sneasler with uninvested Moonblast) and Iron Valiant with Moonblast.

Coalossal @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: Physically Defensive (Rock)
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Flamethrower
- Body Press
- Rapid Spin
- Will-O-Wisp / Spikes

Coalossal is a decent defensive wall that fits well on Rock teams due to it being able to tank physical hits from Scizor, non-Choice Band Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada, which greatly threatens Rock teams. Coalossal does well in the Steel matchup as it threatens Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Kingambit. Coalossal's ability Flame Body allows it to fish for burns to weaken physical threats like Kleavor, Scizor, Kingambit, Mimikyu, and Meowscarada. Flamethrower allows Coalossal to beat threats like Scizor, Gholdengo, and Meowscarada. (Flamethrower sentence unnecessary, fairly self-explanatory) Body Press is a great move due to Coalossal's high Defense stat that allows it to deal incredible damage to Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Rapid Spin combined with Heavy-Duty Boots allows Coalossal to swap in and remove hazards without taking any chip damage so its teammates won't get worn down.

An alternative Ev EV spread of 248 HP / 96 Def / 164 Spe 252 HP/ 92 Def / 164 Spe Bold nature (unneccessary to repeat nature because it's the same as primary set) allows Coalossal to outspeed and weaken burn Base Speed uninvested Kingambit with Will-O-Wisp.

Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature

Coalossal is a decent defensive wall that fits well on Rock teams due to it being able to tank physical hits from Scizor, non-Choice Band Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada, which greatly threatens Rock teams. Coalossal does well in the Steel matchup as it threatens Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Kingambit. Coalossal's ability Flame Body allows it to fish for burns to weaken physical threats like Kleavor, Scizor, Kingambit, Mimikyu, and Meowscarada. Flamethrower allows Coalossal to beat threats like Scizor, Gholdengo, and Meowscarada. (Flamethrower sentence unnecessary, fairly self-explanatory) Body Press is a great move due to Coalossal's high Defense stat that allows it to deal incredible damage to Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Rapid Spin combined with Heavy-Duty Boots allows Coalossal to swap in and remove hazards without taking any chip damage so its teammates won't get worn down. Will-O-Wisp allows Coalossal to Burn physical threats such as Kleavor, Hoopa-U, and Iron Hands. An alternative Ev EV spread of 248 HP / 96 Def / 164 Spe 252 HP/ 92 Def / 164 Spe Bold nature (unneccessary to repeat nature because it's the same as primary set) allows Coalossal to outspeed and weaken burn Base Speed uninvested Kingambit with Will-O-Wisp.
