This behemoth of a bug is making waves in ORAS OU as a wallbreaker and cleaner with its terrifying Aerilate-boosted Frustration and strong priority. Mega Pinsir shines best on hyper offense teams, taking advantage of forced switches to easily gain an opportunity to set up with Swords Dance and clean weakened teams, but it can also work on bulky offense and balance teams. Close Combat is often the only coverage move needed for Mega Pinsir, nailing Rock- and Steel-types such as Tyranitar and Heatran, which resist its powerful STAB attacks. Quick Attack gives Mega Pinsir a way to remove faster, frailer threats that threaten to revenge kill it, like Keldeo and Mega Lopunny. Entry hazard removers such as Starmie, Excadrill, and Defog + Healing Wish Latias work well with Mega Pinsir. Entry hazard setters such as Landorus-T and Azelf are also appreciated. Common hyper offense teammates such as Serperior, Volcarona, and Bisharp appreciate Mega Pinsir breaking down teams in the early-game; in return, they help wear down checks such as Skarmory and Zapdos.

Yo. Mention excadrill and latias as partners who can remove hazards, and cuz lati can healing wish Pinsir. Also, although Pinsir does work well on HO, it also is good on bo and balance as well, so I think that is worth mentioning.

After that qc 1/1

This behemoth of a bug is making waves in the ORAS OU tier as a wallbreaker and cleaner with its terrifying Aerilate-(AH)boosted Frustration tearing down teams,(RC) and being able to clean up weakened ones with its strong priority as well. Mega Pinsir shines best on Hyper Offence hyper offense teams, abusing the fact it forces so many switches,(RC) it can taking advantage of forced switches to easily gain an opportunity to Swords Dance set up with Swords Dance and clean weakened teams, although it also works best on bulky offences and balances but it can also work on bulky offense and balance teams.(Saying that it works best on HO and then saying that it also works best on BO and balance is a bit contradictory.) Close Combat is often the only coverage move needed for Mega Pinsir, nailing Rock- and Steel-types Pokemon such as Tyranitar and Heatran,(AC) that which resist its powerful STAB attacks. Quick Attack gives Mega Pinsir a way to remove faster, frailer threats that threaten to revenge kill it(like? add a comma after it if you are gonna list Pokemon). Mega Pinsir greatly appreciates hazards off on its side, and on its opponents. Thus, teammates like Starmie and Excadrill, as well Latias especially who can also Healing Wish it back to life, work best with it. Entry hazard removers such as Starmie, Excadrill, and Defog + Healing Wish Latias work well with Mega Pinsir. Common Hyper Offence hyper offense teammates such as Serperior, Volcarona,(AC) and Bisharp both appreciate Mega Pinsir breaking down teams earlier in the early-game;(add semicolon) on as well as help it in return, they help wear down checks such as Skarmory and Zapdos.(I assume this is what u meant?)

GP 1/1. Lmk if you disagree with some of the changes.

Hello,

Entry hazard setters such as Landorus-T and Azelf are also work well with it.

I spotted this while translating, probably a mistake.

He added this after the GP check, so I was not aware of it. It should be something like "Entry hazard setters such as Landorus-T and Azelf are also appreciated." or "Entry hazard setters such as Landorus-T and Azelf also work well with it.". The first one avoids repetition of "work well", but the second one is consistent with his original sentence. Whatever the writer prefers.
