Prankster + Haze Giratina's huge bulk and recovery and disruption options allow it to function as a reliable answer to setup users. Giratina has a wide array of options it can use to disrupt foes attempting to set up: Glare paralyzes fast attackers such as Zacian-C, Encore keeps them locked into moves such as Quiver Dance, Parting Shot lets Giratina pivot and Destiny Bond trades a KO, and Entrainment helps force out Poison Heal users. Heavy-Duty Boots helps Giratina switch in more easily without fear of entry hazard chip, while Covert Cloak helps prevent status from moves like Mortal Spin and Nuzzle. Tera Fairy improves Giratina's matchup into opposing Dragon-types such as Miraidon while maintaining a Fighting-type resistance, whereas Tera Dark grants immunity to status moves from opposing Prankster users and a Ghost- and Dark-type resistance for Flutter Mane and Arceus-Dark. Great partners for Prankster Giratina include RegenVest Ting-Lu, Fur Coat Dondozo, and Imposter users thanks to their strong defensive synergy, which allows Giratina to get in more comfortably against Zacian-C, Arceus-Ghost, and Miraidon.

Giratina is a great defensive pokemon that provides utility and disruption for the team. Court Change is a utility move that helps keep hazards off your side of the field, and helps clear entry hazards from the user's side of the field. Strength Sap helps with keeping strong physical attackers such as Groudon and Zacian-C in check. Entrainment is used to help combat force out Poison Heal P*okemon as a means to force them to switch out., with Whirlwind as another option that bypasses Substitute and also forces out non-Poison Heal users. Alternatively, you can use Whirlwind in place of Court Change for phazing, and Encore can be used in place of Entrainment as another form of disruption. Tera Fairy is great for being immune to dragon moves and resist fighting the immunity to Dragon-type attacks, while Tera Dark is great for being resistant to G*host- and D*ark-type moves. The item Covert Cloak is great, as it helps Giratina win the imposter matchup beat Imposter users and prevent it from being statused blocks troublesome status from Scald and Mortal Spin. Dondozo and AvRegenVest Ting-Lu are great partners for Giratina because they're all physically bulky and their typings can cover for each others weakness thanks to their physical bulk and complimentary typings.

Giratina is a defensive pokemon with a great typing that provides utility and anti-set up.too similar to first sentence in other set imo Giratina's huge bulk allows it to function as a reliable answer to setup users, with Prankster granting priority to all of its moves. Haze is an important move since it clears any set-up opportunities for the opponent stat boosts on the field, helping keep offensive threats in check, and priority healing with Recover or Strength Sap is good ensures Giratina can reliably answer opponents. Giratina has a wide array of disruptive options it can go for such as Entrainment, Glare, Encore, Parting Shot, and Destiny Bond with all being great picks. Giratina has a wide array of options it can use to disrupt the opponent - Glare, Encore, Parting Shot and Destiny Bond excel at harassing opposing setup sweepers, whereas Entrianment helps force out Poison Heal users. probably need to specify, even if generally, what the options doHeavy-Duty Boots helps Giratina switch (space)in more easily without having to be afraid of taking hazard chip fear of entry hazard chip, but Covert Cloak helps prevent getting statused from moves like Mortal Spin and Nuzzle. Tera Fairy serves as a dragon immune Tera type while still being able to resist fighting improves Giratina's matchup into opposing Dragon-types whilst maintaining a Fighting-type resistance, whereas Tera Dark makes you immune grants immunity to other P*rankster users's status moves and be resistant to ghost and dark type attacks a Ghost- and Dark-type resistance., while Tera Normal makes you immune to ghost attacks.

most of this is just cleaning up formalities and using "official" language like RegenVest instead of AvRegen or specifying "entry hazards". also * = capitalized letter

Giratina is a great defensive pokemon that provides utility and disruption for the team. This is super generic, specify what distinguishes Giratina from other defensive mons or specify what this set specifically does, otherwise this sentence is pretty filler. Court Change helps clear entry hazards from the user's side of the field. I think this is dex information so specify why its good on this set. Strength Sap helps with keeping strong physical attackers such as Groudon and Zacian-C in check. Entrainment is used to help force out Poison Heal Pokemon, with Whirlwind as another option that bypasses Substitute and also forces out non-Poison Heal users. Encore can be used in place of Entrainment as another form of disruption. Scald should have an explanation, since it is non-STAB and doesn't deal a lot of damage, specify what its good against. Tera Fairy is great for the immunity to Dragon-type attacks, while Tera Dark is great for being resistant to Ghost- and Dark-type moves. Covert Cloak is great, unnecessary, just say Covert Cloak helps Giratina ... as it helps Giratina beat Imposter users and blocks troublesome status from Scald and Mortal Spin. Dondozo and RegenVest Ting-Lu are great partners for Giratina thanks to their physical bulk and complimentary typings To help check what threats to Giratina.

Giratina's huge bulk allows it to function as a reliable answer to setup users, with Prankster granting priority to all of its moves Dex info for Prankster, cut second part. Haze clears any stat boosts on the field, helping keep offensive threats in check, and priority healing with Recover or Strength Sap ensures Giratina can reliably answer opponents. Giratina has a wide array of options it can use to disrupt the opponent - Glare for paralysis, Encore for keeping them stuck on one move Both of these are dex info, mention what Glare cripples and what Encore disrupts, Parting Shot for pivoting and Destiny Bond for trading a KO all excel at harassing opposing setup sweepers, whereas Entrainment helps force out Poison Heal users. Heavy-Duty Boots helps Giratina switch in more easily without fear of entry hazard chip kind of dex info, but i think its ok, I'll leave this to GP , while Covert Cloak helps prevent status from moves like Mortal Spin and Nuzzle. Tera Fairy improves Giratina's matchup into opposing Dragon-types Such as whilst maintaining a Fighting-type resistance, whereas Tera Dark grants immunity to other Prankster user's status moves and a Ghost- and Dark-type resistance For?. Great partners for Prankster Giratina include RegenVest Ting-Lu, Fur Coat Dondozo, and Imposter Chansey/Blissey Imposter users thanks to their strong defensive synergy Again, what specific stuff these guys check that threaten Giratina? Also Imposter synergizes with everyone, what makes Giratina particularly enjoy Imposter
