Vanilluxe turns into a threatening revenge killer, courtesy of its offensive typing and solid Speed. Freeze-Dry targets Water-types that would switch into Ice Beam, such as Politoed, Simipour, and Seaking, and revenge kills boosted sweepers like +2 Speed Huntail and +1 Dragon Dance Whiscash as well as fast setup Pokemon like Jumpluff and Swoobat in one slot. Hidden Power Ground targets Steel-types, OHKOing most Lairon sets and 3HKOing offensive Klang sets after Stealth Rock damage. Flash Cannon 2HKOes Carbink, Wigglytuff, and Vanilluxe. Weak Armor allows Vanilluxe to outspeed faster Choice Scarf users like Simipour and Electabuzz after being hit by physical contact moves.

As this Vanilluxe set is meant to revenge kill, it ideally partners with wallbreakers like Pignite and Simisage. Even with Hidden Power Ground, Vanilluxe has difficulty forcing out Fire- and Steel-types like Pignite and Bronzor, which can freely switch into its STAB moves. Fire- and Ground-types like Magmar and Krokorok can weaken these checks so that Vanilluxe has an easier time revenge killing. Vanilluxe enjoys slow pivots and Defoggers like Dustox and Vibrava to shore up its lacking defensive profile. Late-game cleaners like Simipour and Scraggy value Vanilluxe's power to pick off weakened foes. Due to Vanilluxe's lower power holding a Choice Scarf, it struggles more against walls like Dustox, Duosion, and Scraggy, so answers to these defensive Pokemon like Lairon, Scraggy, and Pignite can ease its vulnerabilities to them.

i'd also mention that Freeze Dry allows Vanilluxe to revenge kill sweepers like Huntail and DD Whiscash after they boost up. This could be a second sentence or you could rework the first sentence to give some more detail on why Scarf Vanilluxe is used over other Scarfers (namely cuz it's one of the only Scarfers that threatens setup mons like Huntail/Swoobat/Jumpluff).
