RegenVest Hisuian Goodra is a great defensive Pokemon with access to strong STAB moves, phazing, and a wide range of coverage, making it capable of switching into special attackers such as Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Walking Wake while not being entirely passive. Dragon Tail lets Hisuian Goodra force out setup sweepers such as Gholdengo and Manaphy, as well as racking up chip damage. Knock Off is a great option against Gholdengo, and it also cripples switch-ins such as RegenVest Manaphy, Swampert, and Meloetta. Hisuian Goodra has many options to fill the last two moveslots based on its team's needs: Earthquake hits Ceruledge, Heatran, and opposing Hisuian Goodra, while Flamethrower hits Corviknight and does more damage to non-Well Baked Body Gholdengo than Knock Off when its item has been removed already. Thunderbolt hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight and Manaphy, Power Whip is a good option against non-Fluffy Manaphy and Swampert, Ice Beam threatens Great Tusk and Dragonite, and Draco Meteor is a strong STAB move, hitting Pokemon such as Gouging Fire and Walking Wake. Hisuian Goodra lacks pivoting unlike other RegenVest users such as Manaphy and Meloetta, so it finds its place on bulkier teams that can afford hard switching. Hisuian Goodra pairs well with strong but frail offensive threats such as Galarian Zapdos, wearing down the opponent's team and giving these threats the opportunity to clean up. Entry hazard removers such as Corviknight are great partners for Hisuian Goodra, allowing it to make full use of Regenerator. It also pairs well with hazard setters such as Deoxys-S thanks to Knock Off's ability to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes and Dragon Tail's phazing. Hisuian Goodra heavily relies on its item to function, so it dislikes being hit by Knock Off from Roaring Moon and Walking Wake; it also struggles against physical attackers such as Iron Boulder and Galarian Zapdos, so physically defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight and Deoxys-D are great partners, as they can take hits for it, with the former also being able to absorb Knock Off.

RegenVest Hisuian Goodra is a great defensive Pokemon, capable of switching into special attackers such as Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Walking Wake. mention that with its stabs, phasing, and coverage, it's also not passive Dragon Tail allows Hisuian Goodra to deal significant damage to Walking Wake and forces out setup sweepers such as Gholdengo and Manaphy. I would focus this sentence more on beating setup Knock Off is a great option against Gholdengo, and also cripples switch-ins such as RegenVest Manaphy, Swampert, and Meloetta. Earthquake hits Ceruledge, Heatran, and opposing Hisuian Goodra, while Flamethrower hits Corviknight and Hisuian Electrode. Thunderbolt hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight and Manaphy, Power Whip is a good option against non-Fluffy Manaphy and Swampert, and Ice Beam allows it to hit Great Tusk and Dragonite. I would adjust this order slightly; basically after Dragon Tail and Knock, mention that it has a wide range of coverage based on team needs, and then explain what everything hits Hisuian Goodra pairs well with strong but frail offensive threats such as Galarian Zapdos, wearing down the opponent's team and giving them the opportunity to clean up. Hisuian Goodra heavily relies on its item to function and dislikes being hit by Knock Off from Roaring Moon and Walking Wake; it also struggles against physical attackers such as Iron Boulder and Zapdos-Galar, so physically defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight and Deoxys-D are great partners as they can take hits for it, with the former also being able to absorb Knock Off. mention that it both really likes entry hazard control to get as much as possible out of regen, and it's a good partner for hazard stack with knock + dtail. also mention its downside relative to other regenvests is no pivoting, so it pairs better with bulkier teams that can do more hard switching

RegenVest Hisuian Goodra is a great defensive Pokemon with access to strong STAB moves, phasing and a wide coverage, making it capable of switching into special attackers such as Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Walking Wake while not being entirely passive. Dragon Tail is a great STAB move that has the added benefit of forcing out setup sweepers such as Gholdengo and Manaphy. i wouldnt really call it great, the only reason it's used is bc of phazing, i'd reword to reflect that + add in mentions of racking up chip damage against certain mons too Knock Off is a great option against Gholdengo, and also cripples switch-ins such as RegenVest Manaphy, Swampert, and Meloetta. Hisuian Goodra also has access to a wide coverage, which allows you to fill the last two moveslots based on your team's needs: Earthquake hits Ceruledge, Heatran, and opposing Hisuian Goodra, while Flamethrower hits Corviknight and Hisuian Electrode. i think it's relatively unwise to hard switch a h-electrode into hoodra, another mention like consistently hitting non wbb ghold even after using knock would be nice Thunderbolt hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight and Manaphy, Power Whip is a good option against non-Fluffy Manaphy and Swampert, and Ice Beam allows it to hit Great Tusk and Dragonite. Hisuian Goodra pairs well with strong but frail offensive threats such as Galarian Zapdos, wearing down the opponent's team and giving them the opportunity to clean up. Entry hazard setters and removers such as Deoxys-S and Corviknight respectively are great partners, allowing Hisuian Goodra to make full use of Regenerator while making it a good phazer with Knock Off and Dragon Tail. Hisuian Goodra heavily relies on its item to function and dislikes being hit by Knock Off from Roaring Moon and Walking Wake; it also struggles against physical attackers such as Iron Boulder and Zapdos-Galar, so physically defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight and Deoxys-D are great partners as they can take hits for it, with the former also being able to absorb Knock Off. Hisuian Goodra also lacks pivoting unlike other RegenVest users such as Manaphy or Meloetta, so it finds its place on bulkier teams that can afford hard switching. this should be moved after moves section and before teammates imo

RegenVest Hisuian Goodra is a great defensive Pokemon with access to strong STAB moves, phasing phazing, (comma) and a wide range of coverage, making it capable of switching into special attackers such as Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Walking Wake while not being entirely passive. Dragon Tail lets Hisuian Hoodra Goodra force out setup sweepers such as Gholdengo and Manaphy, as well as rack racking up (entry hazard?) chip damage. Knock Off is a great option against Gholdengo, and it also cripples switch-ins such as RegenVest Manaphy, Swampert, and Meloetta. Hisuian Goodra also has access to a wide coverage, which allows you has many options to fill the last two moveslots based on your its team's needs: Earthquake hits Ceruledge, Heatran, and opposing Hisuian Goodra, while Flamethrower hits Corviknight and does more damage to non-Well Baked Body Gholdengo for higher damage than Knock Off when its item has been removed already. Thunderbolt hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight and Manaphy, Power Whip is a good option against non-Fluffy Manaphy and Swampert, Ice Beam allows it to hit threatens Great Tusk and Dragonite, and Draco Meteor is a strong STAB move, hitting anything that doesn't have dedicated coverage Pokemon such as Gouging Fire and Walking Wake. Hisuian Goodra lacks pivoting unlike other RegenVest users such as Manaphy or and Meloetta, so it finds its place on bulkier teams that can afford hard switching. Hisuian Goodra pairs well with strong but frail offensive threats such as Galarian Zapdos, wearing down the opponent's team and giving them these threats the opportunity to clean up. Entry hazard setters and removers such as Deoxys-S and Corviknight respectively are great partners, allowing Hisuian Goodra to make full use of Regenerator while making it a good phazer with Knock Off and Dragon Tail.

It also pairs well with hazard setters such as Deoxys-S thanks to Knock Off's ability to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes and Dragon Tail's phazing. (I think this is clearer) Hisuian Goodra heavily relies on its item to function, (comma) and so it dislikes being hit by Knock Off from Roaring Moon and Walking Wake; it also struggles against physical attackers such as Iron Boulder and Zapdos-Galar Galarian Zapdos, so physically defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight and Deoxys-D are great partners, (comma) as they can take hits for it, with the former also being able to absorb Knock Off.
