[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Lilligant is a solid late-game sweeper for Grass teams thanks to Victory Dance in conjunction with Hustle. It can deal out considerable damage to some of the meta's bulkiest Pokemon such as Corviknight and Iron Hands and is the best wincon on Grass in order to beat Flying. Ice Spinner allows Hisuian Lilligant to threaten opposing Dragon- and Flying-types like Enamorus, Galarian Zapdos, and Dragapult, as well as opposing Ground-types like Clodsire and Great Tusk if it does not run Leaf Blade. Sleep Powder is often preferred over Leaf Blade to give Hisuian Lilligant an easier chance to set up, and the combination of Ice Spinner and Close Combat still targets a good portion of the metagame. However, Leaf Blade can be used to target Pokemon that resist Ice Spinner and Close Combat such as Toxapex and Azumarill. Wide Lens allows Hisuian Lilligant to offset the accuracy drop of its attacks due to Hustle and it also boosts the accuracy of Sleep Powder, making it a more consistent option to use in order to set up safely.

Choice Scarf Meowscarada is a great teammate that threatens faster Dragon-types like Dragapult and Walking Wake, while Hisuian Lilligant is able to beat bulky Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra and Corviknight that Meowscarada often lures in. Amoonguss is Hisuian Lilligant's best defensive partner, as its Poison typing helps it deal with opposing Fairy-types like Azumarill, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant and also removes Toxic Spikes. Amoonguss appreciates Hisuian Lilligant's ability to dispatch opposing Flying-types like Corviknight, which can render it setup fodder, and can also assist Hisuian Lilligant's setup using Spore. Iron Leaves is another offensive partner for Hisuian Lilligant that can threaten opposing Poison-types which Lilligant cannot break through like Toxapex. Iron Leaves appreciates Hisuian Lilligant being able to threaten opposing Dark-type Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Kingambit. Brambleghast offers hazard support with Spikes, allowing Hisuian Lilligant to have secure KOs on Pokemon like Alolan Muk. Furthermore, Brambleghast offers hazard removal with Rapid Spin, which improves Hisuian Lilligant's longevity by giving it more opportunities to switch in. Zarude is also an offensive partner that is able to threaten Gholdengo and also Skeledirge, which gives Grass teams a tough time in the Ghost matchup. Furthermore, its ability to threaten Poison's defensive staples like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Alolan Muk after a boost is appreciated. Rotom-C helps Hisuian Lilligant threaten key members Water teams if it opts not to use Leaf Blade, like Pelipper and Basculegion, while Hisuian Lilligant can threaten Thundurus-T so Rotom can threaten Flying teams easier.

However, Leaf Blade can be used to target Pokemon that resist Ice Spinner and Close Combat such as Toxapex and Slowking (perhaps add that this set can beat Poison's defensive core - Amoonguss and Clodsire can't take Ice Spinner, while Toxapex can't take Leaf Blade very well and Galarian Slowking can be beaten down by Meowscarada).

Hi, first the amQC check

(perhaps add that this set can beat Poison's defensive core - Amoonguss and Clodsire can't take Ice Spinner, while Toxapex can't take Leaf Blade very well and Galarian Slowking can be beaten down by Meowscarada)
Sort of plausible, but I'd rather not tell it due to the stuff like 1.) Pex is a 2HKO and can Toxic and dance around to minimize casualties 2.) Choice Scarf Sneasler revenge-kills, Boots sneasler can try fishing for Poison Touch with Fake Outs 3.) In the worst case, Salazzle, Galarian Slowking, and Mothman survive one to KO it.

(mention Galarian Slowking here as well)
Slowking shouldn't be in against meower, but the knock offs helps on wearing down the aforementioned bulky walls (i.e. Pex without a helmet or boots cant dance around as cleanly vs it, even physdef Corv is now more pressed to conserve HP against it, etc.)

Iron Leaves is another offensive partner for Lilligant that can threaten opposing Poison-types which Lilligant cannot break through, (AC) like opposing Amoonguss Galarian Slowking (you break Amoonguss with Ice Spinner) and Toxapex.
Imo Iron Leaves -> Breaks Poison that H.Lili struggles with, H.Lili-> breaks other types is better.

Now, for the QC check

Hisuian Lilligant is a solid wincon for Grass teams thanks to its signature move Victory Dance, which boosts its Attack, Defense and Speed and in conjunction with its ability Hustle, it can deal out considerable damage to some of the meta's bulkiest Pokemon such as Corviknight and Iron Hands (its a wincon against flying teams unironically, provided no Scarf Enam). Ice Spinner allows Lilligant to threaten opposing Dragon- and Flying-types like Zapdos(might be not a good mention due to the possible static), Landorus-T, and Garchomp. Ice Spinner also allows Lilligant to threaten opposing Ground-types like Clodsire and Great Tusk if it does not run Leaf Blade. Sleep Powder is often preferred over Leaf Blade to give Lilligant an easier time of setting up and the combination of Ice Spinner and Close Combat still targets a good portion of the metagame. However, Leaf Blade can be used to target Pokemon that resist Ice Spinner and Close Combat such as Toxapex and Quagsire Slowking. Running Wide Lens allows Lilligant to offset the accuracy drop of its attacks due to Hustle and it also boosts the accuracy of Sleep Powder, making it a more consistent option to use in order to set up safely. (synthesis can be a notable mention too, making walls be setup food if they dont have the correct moves)

Meowscarada is a great teammate to support Hisuian Lilligant. Choice Scarf Meowscarada is able to threaten Gholdengo, who is immune to Lilligant's Sleep Powder and resists its attacking moves whereas Lilligant is able to threaten bulky Steel-types like Heatran, Hisuian Goodra and Corviknight (I think H.Lili shouldnt be the breaker for steel teams, so mentioning catran probably isnt too good [H.goodra fine because Dragon, Corv for Bird]), which Meowscarada struggles to break past. Amoonguss is Lilligant's best defensive partner, as its Poison typing assists Lilligant to deal with opposing Fairy-types like Azumarill, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant. Amoonguss appreciates Lilligant's ability to dispatch of opposing Flying-types like Corviknight, which can render it setup fodder (Also carries Spore for Lili if its powderless, and absorbs tspikes too). Iron Leaves is another offensive partner for Lilligant that can threaten opposing Poison-types which Lilligant cannot break through like opposing Amoonguss and Toxapex and Iron Leaves likes Hisuian Lilligant being able to threaten opposing Dark-type Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Kingambit. Brambleghast offers hazard support with Spikes that allow Hisuian Lilligant to have an easier time securing KOs on Pokemon like Alolan Muk.
*Add Zarude, Steelbreaker and kills Skele and Gholdy, and can put decent pressure on Poison in a pinch too
*Add Mowtom, can trick, pivot lili around, and answer water teams (lol) if Flower doesnt hace Leaf Blade
*Lilligant-> Hisuian Lilligant

Choice Scarf Meowscarada is able to threaten Gholdengo,
Maybe reserve Gholdy for Zarude instead of meow, you can use Meow for threatening Dragons/ guys that wouldnt let H.Lili setup in the first place + Tricking Pex is alwayes nice

Amoonguss is Hisuian Lilligant's best defensive partner, as its Poison typing assists Lilligant to deal with opposing Fairy-types like Azumarill, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant. Amoonguss appreciates Hisuian Lilligant's ability to dispatch of opposing Flying-types like Corviknight, which can render it setup fodder and can also assist Lilligant's setup using Spore.
It also absorbs tspikes

Ice Spinner allows Hisuian Lilligant to threaten opposing Dragon- and Flying-types like Enamorus, Landorus-T, and Garchomp (Landorus-T and Garchomp are typically setup fodder and lose to Lilligant's STAB moves, better examples would be Galarian Zapdos or Dragapult). Ice Spinner also allows Hisuian Lilligant to threaten opposing Ground-types like Clodsire and Great Tusk if it does not run Leaf Blade. Sleep Powder is often preferred over Leaf Blade to give Hisuian Lilligant an easier time of setting up and the combination of Ice Spinner and Close Combat still targets a good portion of the metagame. However, Leaf Blade can be used to target Pokemon that resist Ice Spinner and Close Combat such as Toxapex and Quagsire (Quagsire is 2HKOd by Close Combat and has no chance of walling Lilligant when asleep). Running Wide Lens allows Hisuian Lilligant to offset the accuracy drop of its attacks due to Hustle and it also boosts the accuracy of Sleep Powder, making it a more consistent option to use in order to set up safely.

Meowscarada is a great teammate to support Hisuian Lilligant. Choice Scarf Meowscarada is able to threaten opposing Dragon-type Pokemon like Dragapult and Walking Wake, faster threats that can outspeed Hisuian Lilligant whereas Hisuian Lilligant is able to threaten bulky Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra and Corviknight, which Meowscarada struggles to break past (Meowscarada's also capable of pivoting into Lilligant, luring in the aforementioned Steel-types).

Amoonguss appreciates Hisuian Lilligant's ability to dispatch of opposing Flying-types like Corviknight, which can render it setup fodder and can also assist Lilligant's setup using Spore.

Rotom-Mow helps Hisuian Lilligant threaten Water teams if it opts not to use Leaf Blade like Pelipper and Basculegion meanwhile Hisuian Lilligant can threaten Thundurus-T so Rotom can threaten Flying teams easier.
