Empoleon @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Competitive
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 212 SpA / 44 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
- Roost

The emperor of the seas revolts against the lords of the earth! Ice Beam provides excellent coverage against Grass- and Dragon-types like Chesnaught, Cyclizar, and Salamence, while Grass Knot hits Water-types such as Basculegion-F and Slowbro. Thanks to the Shuca Berry, Empoleon can tank one Ground-type move from the likes of Krookodile, Salamence, and Yanmega. Tera Water lets it OHKO Hippowdon and Terrakion and 2HKO Bisharp, Slither Wing, and Gardevoir with Surf. The EV spread allows Empoleon to outpace Pokemon like Vaporeon and Umbreon while maximizing its HP and increasing its damage output. This set fits best on balance and bulky offense teams where Empoleon provides both defensive utility and offensive support thanks to its great typing and its wide coverage, respectively, as well as serving as an emergency option against hyper offense teams due to its favorable matchup against threats like Gardevoir, Yanmega, and Salamence. Hippowdon forms a great defensive core with Empoleon; the former can handle dangerous physical attackers such as Terrakion, Galarian Zapdos, and Maushold, while the latter can check Water- and Ice-type moves from Pokemon like Basculegion-F and Suicune.

Empoleon recently made it to the third round of the playoffs of the RU Swiss II, which you can watch here:

The Emperor of the seas revolts against the lords of the earth! Ice Beam provides Empoleon with excellent coverage against Grass- and Dragon-types like Chesnaught, Cyclizar, and Salamence, while Grass Knot hits Water-types such as Basculegion-F, Crawdaunt, and Politoed Slowbro Crawdaunt threatens an OHKO with Knock since you're slower, Bascu-F and Slowbro are fine super effectively. Thanks to the Shuca Berry, Empoleon can tank one Ground-type move from the likes of Krookodile, Salamence, and Yanmega. Tera Water notably boosts Surf, enabling feats such as the OHKO on Hippowdon and Terrakion and the 2HKO on Bisharp, Slither Wing, and Gardevoir. The EV spread allows Empoleon to outpace every uninvested 65 base Speed Pokemon like Vaporeon and Umbreon as well as Chesnaught, while maximizing its HP and increasing its damage output. This set fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, where Empoleon provides both defensive utility and offensive support thanks to its great typing and its wide coverage respectively, as well as serving as an emergency option against hyper offense teams due to its favorable matchup against threats like Revavroom, Yanmega, and Salamence. Hippowdon forms a great defensive core with Empoleon; the former can handle dangerous physical attackers such as Terrakion, Galarian Zapdos, and Maushold, while the latter can check Water- and Ice-type moves from Pokemon like Basculegion-F, Politoed, and Suicune.

Not much to comment on, ran a bit long on character count so got rid of some fluff in the middle; good work.

(Small edit: change revavroom to gardevoir)
