[SET COMMENTS]
  • Palkia-O uses its pwerful Water / Dragon STAB combination, further bolstered by Lustrous Globe, its high Special Attack, supplemented with Fire-type coverage, to beome a nuclear wallbreaker that excels at eviscerating the defensive backbone of many balance teams. Palkia-O is capable of 2HKOing defensive stalwarts such as Ho-Oh, Primal Groudon, Eternatus, and support Arceus formes.
  • Fire Blast roasts Ferrothorn while also hitting Tera Grass Ho-Oh for slightly more damage than Spacial Rend.
  • Palkia-O's last moveslot is rather flexible. Substitute takes advantage of the many switches Palkia-O forces and protects it from status moves. Alternatively, Draco Meteor enables Palkia-O to nab some OHKOs on Pokemon that Spacial Rend cannot, such as defensive Eternatus, Zygarde-C, and Eruption Primal Groudon after Stealth Rock.
  • A Modest nature is preferred to enhance Palkia-O's wallbreaking capabilities. A Timid nature is usable if outspeeding Adamant Ultra Necrozma and Speed tying Calm Mind Arceus formes is desired. However, running a Timid nature comes at the cost of never OHKOing defensive Eternatus, turning defensive Primal Groudon into a roll to 2HKO, and rarely 2HKOing Primal Kyogre with Spacial Rend.
  • Tera Water is used over Tera Dragon, since Primal Groudon is 2HKOed by Spacial Rend regardless. Tera Water Hydro Pump is capable of OHKOing Ho-Oh, Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM after a single layer of Spikes, and support Arceus formes after Stealth Rock and a layer of Spikes.
  • Palkia-O is best used as an early- or mid-game wallbreaker on balance and bulky offense teams to tear through the defensive backbone of balance teams. It struggles against hyper offense teams, as it can be outsped or set up on, limiting the damage it can do. Against these teams, Palkia-O is often limited to trading. Additionally, Palkia-O completely thuds into stall, as it is fully walled by Chansey.
  • Choice Band Marshadow is an excellent teammate, as it is able to revenge kill many Pokemon that use Palkia-O as setup fodder on hyper offense teams, such as Ultra Necrozma, Deoxys-A, Arceus, and Zacian-C.
  • Ho-Oh makes an excellent partner, as it is able to switch in on Pokemon that scare Palkia-O out, such as Arceus-Fairy, Deoxys-A, and Zacian-C. Furthermore, Palkia-O greatly appreciates Defog support from Ho-Oh due to its vulnerability to every entry hazard and lack of recovery.
  • Palkia-O also appreciates teammates that match up well into stall, such as specially offensive Yveltal and Overheat Primal Groudon.

  • Powerful Water / Dragon STABs moves bolstered by Lustrous Globe, supplemented with Fire-type coverage, all coming from base 150 Special Attack combine to make Palkia-O a nuclear wallbreaker which excells excels at eviscerating the defensive backbone of many balance teams. Palkia-O is capable of 2HKOeing defensive stalwarts such as Ho-Oh, Primal Groudon, Eternatus, and support Arceus formes. However, Palkia-O does struggle against hyper offence teams as many pokemon such as Ultra Necrozma and Zacian-C outspeed and are capable of OHKOeing. Palkia-O also thuds into stall teams as it is walled by Chansey. Mentioned later
  • Palkia-O's Water / Dragon STAB is capable of hitting nearly the entire metagame neutrally. You already say this Fire Blast roasts Ferrothorn in addition to Pokemon such as Necrozma-DM and Ho-Oh which tera Grass on a predicted Hydro Pump. Fire Blast doesn't do that much more than Spatial Rend to Tera Grass Ho-Oh, and less than Pump to Necrozma-DM. Reword to reflect that Consequently, Palkia-O's last moveslot is rather flexible. Substitute takes advantage of the many switches Palkia-O forces in addition to protection from status moves. Alternatively, Draco Meteor enables Palkia-O to nab some OHKOes that Spacial Rend misses on Pokemon such as defensive Eternatus, Zygarde-C, and Eruption Primal Groudon after Stealth Rock. Make the last moveslot its own point
  • A Modest nature is preferred to enhance Palkia-O's wallbreaking capabilities as Palkia-O. However, a Timid nature is still usable as Palkia-O if outspeeding Adamant Ultra Necrozma and speed-tieing Calm Mind Arceus formes is desired. Mention calcs that Timid loses out on
  • Tera Water is used as Primal Groudon is 2HKOed by Spacial Rend. Go more in-depth as to why Tera Water is used as opposed to why Tera Dragon isn't. Mention calcs
  • Palkia-O is best used as an early- and mid-game wallbreaker to tear through the defensive backbone of balance teams. It struggles against hyper offence teams as it is outsped or set up on, limiting the damage it can do. Against these teams Palkia-O is often limited to trading. Additionally, Palkia-O completely thuds into stall as it is fully walled by Chansey. Mention Team styles Palkia-O fits on
  • Choice Band Marshadow is an excellent teammate as it is able to revenge kill many Pokemon which use Palkia-O as setup fodder on hyper offence teams such as Ultra Necrozma, Arceus, and Zacian-C. Ho-Oh makes an excellent partner as it is able to switch-in to Pokemon which scare Palkia-O out such as Arceus-Fairy, Deoxys-A, and Zacian-C. Furthermore, Palkia-O greatly appreciates Defog support from Ho-Oh due to its vulnerability to every entry hazard and lack of recovery. Palkia-O also appreciates teammates that matchup well into stall such as Specially Offensive Yveltal and Overheat Primal Groudon. Give the teammates that help with hazards their own point

However, running a Timid nature comes at the cost of never OHKOeing defensive Eternatus, turing defensive Primal Groudon into a roll to 2HKO, and rarely 2HKOeing Primal Kyogre.
  • Tera Water is used as Primal Groudon is 2HKOed by Spacial Rend (This sentence sounds a little confusing about the choice of Tera Water. I would reword it so that the reader can tell Tera Water is chosen over Tera Dragon since Primal Groudon is already 2HKOed by Spacial Rend, such as, “Tera Water is used over Tera Dragon since Primal Groudon is already 2HKOed by Special Rend”).Palkia-O terastilizes Tera Water Hydro Pump is capable of OHKOeing Ho-Oh, Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM after a Spike, and support Arceus formes after Stealth Rock and a Spike.

bumboclaat was gonna address your points. I’ll do so now. The only thing I would prefer you to add is Mega Salamence. The rest is up to you.

Bullet 1: Mega Salamence’s standard nature is actually Adamant, meaning Timid Palkia-O outspeeds.

Bullet 2: You can mention Scarf Ditto, although it loses to Tera Ghost Arceus. Scarf Yveltal was mentioned because it is an effective revenge-killer and you only had one example. I would suggest mentioning at least one.

Bullet 3: Totally up to you.
