Dachsbun is the best Wish passer in PU. Its great typing and decent overall bulk give it ample opportunity to keep itself and its teammates healthy while checking threats like Gabite and Alolan Persian. Well-Baked Body also lets Dachsbun switch into Fire-types like Charizard and Houndoom as well as absorb Will-O-Wisp from Misdreavus and Charizard, all of which threaten other Wish passers like Leafeon. Body Press prevents Steel-types from walling Dachsbun and also gets stronger if Well-Baked Body has already been triggered. Play Rough is good coverage alongside Body Press and hits Misdreavus, but Roar can be used instead to force setup sweepers like Gogoat and Carbink out as well as rack up chip damage if entry hazards are up. Copycat can be used to copy entry hazards from Pokemon like Whiscash as well as beat certain setup sweepers like Iron Defense Carbink one-on-one. Tera Steel lets Dachsbun absorb Steel- and Poison-type attacks and gives it an edge against Pokemon such as Sludge Bomb Houndoom, Articuno, and Indeedee-F. Dachsbun can run 64 Speed EVs to outspeed neutral-natured Honchkrow at the cost of some bulk. Dachsbun can also opt for a physically defensive spread to better take on Pokemon like Lycanroc-N and, after Terastallizing, Zangoose.

Dachsbun fits best on balance teams in need of cleric support and a blanket check to various offensive threats. Pokemon like Gabite, Mareanie, and Tinkatuff can check Steel- and Poison-types like Alolan Dugtrio and Skuntank for Dachsbun, and they appreciate Dachsbun coming to their aid against foes such as Articuno and Pyroar. Charizard is another great partner that switches into Steel-types like Perrserker and non-Rock Slide Alolan Dugtrio and can do so repeatedly thanks to the Wishes Dachsbun passes. Setup sweepers like Rotom-F and Gogoat find it easier to boost multiple times in a game with Dachsbun keeping them healthy. Wish support also gives Gogoat an easier time preserving Milk Drink's limited PP, which allows it to play more recklessly early on against threats that Dachsbun baits in, such as Basculin. In return, these setup sweepers make up for Dachsbun's passivity and can threaten out nuisances like Vespiquen and Whiscash. Misdreavus can spread burns to give Dachsbun an easier time against physical attackers like Crabominable and slow opposing walls down with Taunt. Meanwhile, Dachsbun can stand up to Fire-types like non-Tera Steel Charizard, check Dark-types like Alolan Persian and Honchkrow, and reduce Misdreavus's reliance on Pain Split for recovery.

Dachsbun is the best Wish passer in PU. Its great typing and decent overall bulk give it ample opportunity to keep itself and its teammates healthy while checking threats like Gabite and Alolan Persian. (I would personally just merge these two setences together into one. Something like "Dachsbun is the best Wish passer in PU thanks to its great typing and decent bulk, giving it ample opportunity to keep itself and its teammates healthy while checking x and y.") Well-Baked Body also lets Dachsbun switch into Fire-types like Charizard and Houndoom as well as absorb Misdreavus's Will-O-Wisp (Mention Charizard too since Special Attacking Sets sometimes run it, or Carkol.), all of which threaten the tier's other Wish passers. (I would mention what these others are (which i am assuming are Glaceon + Leafeon. Just helps the reader understand why Dachsbun has a solid benefit over the other 2.) Body Press prevents Steel-types from walling Dachsbun and also gets stronger if Well-Baked Body has already been triggered. Play Rough has good coverage alongside Body Press and hits Misdreavus, but Roar can be used instead to force setup sweepers like Gogoat and Carbink out as well as rack up chip damage if entry hazards are up. Tera Steel lets Dachsbun absorb Steel- and Poison-type attacks and gives it an edge against Pokemon such as Rotom-F, Articuno, and Indeedee-F. Dachsbun can run 64 Speed EVs to outspeed neutral-natured Honchkrow at the cost of some bulk. Dachsbun can also opt for a physically defensive spread to better take on Pokemon like Lycanroc-N and, after Terastallizing, Zangoose.

Dachsbun fits best on balance teams in need of cleric support and a blanket check to various offensive threats. Pokemon like Gabite, Perrserker, and Mareanie can check Steel- and Poison-types like Alolan Dugtrio and Skuntank for Dachsbun as well as sponge Knock Off in a pinch (I feel like none of these mons really want to sponge a knock off; Gabite and Mareanie rely on evo to be effective and Perrserker really needs the leftovers/hbd/cb/av imo, might want better examples here or just straight up remove the Knock Off part.) , and they appreciate Dachsbun coming to their aid against foes such as Articuno and Pyroar. Setup sweepers like Rotom-F and Gogoat find it easier to boost multiple times in a game with Dachsbun keeping them healthy. Wish support also gives Gogoat an easier time preserving Milk Drink's limited PP, which allows it to play more recklessly early on against threats that Dachsbun baits in, such as Basculin. In return, these setup sweepers make up for Dachsbun's passivity and can threaten out nuisances like Vespiquen and Whiscash. Misdreavus can spread burns to give Dachsbun an easier time against physical attackers like Crabominable and slow opposing walls down with Taunt. Meanwhile, Dachsbun can stand up to Fire-types like non-Tera Steel Charizard, check Dark-types like Alolan Persian and Honchkrow, and reduce Misdreavus's reliance on Pain Split for recovery. (I would have a special mention for Tinkatuff; it switches into the Poison-types that cause Dachs issues and can spread para and knock that helps Dachsbun out.)
(overall not much to say. very good analysis!)

Well-Baked Body also lets Dachsbun switch into Fire-types like Charizard and Houndoom as well as absorb Misdreavus's Will-O-Wisp, all of which threaten other Wish passers like Leafeon and Glaceon sneak.

Play Rough has good coverage alongside Body Press and hits Misdreavus, but Roar can be used instead to force setup sweepers like Gogoat and Carbink out as well as rack up chip damage if entry hazards are up. Tera Steel lets Dachsbun absorb Steel- and Poison-type attacks and gives it an edge against Pokemon such as Rotom-F, Articuno, and Indeedee-F sludge bomb houndoom would be a better example than frosttom imo. Dachsbun can run 64 Speed EVs to outspeed neutral-natured Honchkrow at the cost of some bulk. Dachsbun can also opt for a physically defensive spread to better take on Pokemon like Lycanroc-N and, after Terastallizing, Zangoose.

consider also mentioning copycat, lots of good interactions like beating id carbink 1v1 and copying hazards from mons like whiscash

Dachsbun fits best on balance teams in need of cleric support and a blanket check to various offensive threats. Pokemon like Gabite, Perrserker a bit iffy on this one as it's not a great check to either threats u mention later, and Mareanie can check Steel- and Poison-types like Alolan Dugtrio and Skuntank for Dachsbun, and they appreciate Dachsbun coming to their aid against foes such as Articuno and Pyroar zard definitely deserves a mention here as a partner in the context of being able to receive wishes while switching into perr and non-rock slide wigtrio. Setup sweepers like Rotom-F and Gogoat find it easier to boost multiple times in a game with Dachsbun keeping them healthy. Wish support also gives Gogoat an easier time preserving Milk Drink's limited PP, which allows it to play more recklessly early on against threats that Dachsbun baits in, such as Basculin-Blue-Striped. In return, these setup sweepers make up for Dachsbun's passivity and can threaten out nuisances like Vespiquen and Whiscash. Misdreavus can spread burns to give Dachsbun an easier time against physical attackers like Crabominable and slow opposing walls down with Taunt. Meanwhile, Dachsbun can stand up to Fire-types like non-Tera Steel Charizard, check Dark-types like Alolan Persian and Honchkrow, and reduce Misdreavus's reliance on Pain Split for recovery.
