Flutter Mane is a supportive special attacker that functions well on sun teams. Since Flutter Mane is immune to Fake Out, it can ignore the threat of Fake Out to use Taunt on Pokemon such as Calyrex-I or Amoonguss as well as being able to attack without having to fear the chip damage that the move does. Flutter Mane can use support moves such as Taunt over Shadow Ball to prevent opposing Pokemon like Calyrex-I or Amoonguss from setting Trick Room or using moves like Spore, respectively. When paired with Pokemon that set sun such as Koraidon or Groudon, Flutter Mane can use Protosynthesis to boost its Speed and use Icy Wind as a form of speed control, outspeeding and slowing down Pokemon such as Calyrex-S. Dazzling Gleam gives Flutter Mane a spread option that it can boost with Terastallization. Focus Sash lets Flutter Mane live a hit without needing to invest EVs in bulk. Tera Fairy and Stellar both allow Flutter Mane to OHKO Raging Bolt; Tera Stellar allows Shadow Ball to pick up KOs like those against all opposing Flutter Mane. However, Tera Fairy is more consistent, since it can use Fairy-type STAB moves without worrying about losing the boost.

Choice Scarf Urshifu-R threatens Flutter Mane when paired with Pokemon such as Tornadus or Pelipper that can set rain for it, removing both Flutter Mane's Speed boost and the sun. Assault Vest Rillaboom can take Flutter Mane's attacks, threaten it with Wood Hammer, and finish it off on the subsequent turn with Grassy Glide. Flutter Mane pairs well with Pokemon that can redirect attacks away from it such as Ogerpon and Amoonguss, since this allows it to maintain its Focus Sash and stay on the field longer. In addition to redirecting attacks, Amoonguss matches up well into Urshifu-R. Raging Bolt can remove Pokemon such as Urshifu-R that threaten Flutter Mane while also reliably switching into Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide. Chi-Yu also benefits from Icy Wind speed control and threatens Rillaboom while also boosting Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin.

Flutter Mane is a fast Special Attacker sash sets also happen to be pretty good support and I think having a higher emphasis on sun throughout the analysis will help a lot that outspeeds and threatens many Pokemon such as Miriadon and Koriadon it speed ties tho? while also threatening them with its Fairy-type STAB moves. Flutter Mane also can use supporting moves such as Taunt to prevent opposing Pokemon like Calyrex-I or Amoonguss from setting Trick Room or using moves like Spore. When paired with Drought Pokemon that set sun Koraidon doesn't have drought, it has orichalcum pulse such as Koriaaidon or Groudon, nothing happens? you don't even mention speed boost Flutter Mane can use Icy Wind to allow them to move before Pokemon like Calyrex-S and threaten them with Flare Blitz or Heat Crash Where is dazzling gleam?. Focus Sash lets Flutter Mane live a hit and use its high Speed stat to move twice fluff and idk what you even mean here without needing to invest EVs in bulk. Tera Fairy allows Flutter Mane to threaten large amounts of damage versus teams without a good Fairy resist. Flutter Mane can also run a Stellar tera type to boost both Moonblast and Shadow Ball in order to pick up KOs such as Shadow Ball killing all opposing Flutter Mane. Tera Fairy and Stellar both allow Flutter Mane to OHKO Raging Bolt while Stellar allows Shadow Ball to pick up KOs like all opposing Flutter Mane. mention that fairy is more consistent since you do more damage in general. Just cutting fluff and saying that flutter tera fairy is good into non fairy resists is kinda obvious.

Paragraph 2
Choice Scarf Urshifu-R outspeeds and threatens to OHKO Flutter Mane with Surging Strikes this was a consistent counter in reg f but in reg g flutter mane, especially sash is commonly found on sun. consider mentioning pelipper/torn shifu. Assault Vest Rillaboom can take Flutter Mane's attacks and threaten it with Wood Hammer and finish it off on the subsequent turn with Grassy Glide remember that you are sash. Flutter Mane pairs well with Pokemon that can redirect attacks away from it such as Ogerpon and Amoonguss since this allows it to maintain its Focus Sash and stay on the field for longer. Koriadon Koraidon also pairs well with Flutter Mane as it benefits from Icy Wind support while also providing Flutter Mane with a speed boost are you not repeating yourself from the 1st paragraph? There are also a lot more partners that you can mention, raging bolt can deal with tornshifu/pelishifu and the flutteryu combination still stands.. Incineroar also pairs well with Flutter Mane since it can weaken opposing Physical attackers with Intimidate while also giving Flutter Mane opportunities to switch in with Parting Shot. on specs and booster sets this makes sense but intimidate doesn't turn attacks into 3hkos on bulkless flutter. It makes a lot more sense to have mons like bolt/chiyu.

Tera Fairy and Stellar both allow Flutter Mane to OHKO Raging Bolt while Stellar allows Shadow Ball to pick up KOs like all opposing Flutter Mane. However Tera Fairy is more consistent since it can use Fairy-type STAB without worrying about losing the boost.

Choice Scarf Urshifu-R (Add hyphen) threatens Flutter Mane when paired with Pokemon such as Tornadus or Pelipper that can boost its speed through Tailwind set Rain for it, removing both Flutter Mane's speed boost and the sun. Assault Vest Rillaboom can take Flutter Mane's attacks and threaten it with Wood Hammer and finish it off on the subsequent turn with Grassy Glide. Flutter Mane pairs well with Pokemon that can redirect attacks away from it such as Ogerpon and Amoonguss since this allows it to maintain its Focus Sash and stay on the field for longer. Raging Bolt can remove Pokemon such as Urshifu-R that threaten Flutter Mane while also reliably switching in to Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide. Chi-Yu also benefits from Icy Wind speed control while also boosting Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin.

Flutter Mane is a supportive Special Attacker that functions well on Sun teams. (Good to highlight good match ups here, and the Fake Out immunity, you want to give people a rough idea of why Focus Sash Flutter Mane is viable.) Flutter Mane can use supporting moves such as Taunt over Shadow Ball to prevent opposing Pokemon like Calyrex-I or Amoonguss from setting Trick Room or using moves like Spore. When paired with Pokemon that set sun such as Koraidon or Groudon, Flutter Mane can use Protosynthesis to boost its Speed and use Icy Wind to allow them to move before Pokemon like Calyrex-S and threaten them with Flare Blitz or Heat Crash (This is pretty off as you bring up partners in the first paragraph, Icy Wind is also not only used for Caly-S when half of them use Shadow Ball, better off mentioning it as overall speed control, and suggesting Caly-S is an example.). Dazzling Gleam gives Flutter Mane a spread option that it can boost with Terastallization. Focus Sash lets Flutter Mane live a hit without needing to invest EVs in bulk. Tera Fairy and Stellar both allow Flutter Mane to OHKO Raging Bolt while Stellar allows Shadow Ball to pick up KOs like all opposing Flutter Mane. However Tera Fairy is more consistent since it can use Fairy-type STAB without worrying about losing the boost.

Choice Scarf Urshifu-R threatens Flutter Mane when paired with Pokemon such as Tornadus or Pelipper that can set Rain for it, removing both Flutter Mane's speed boost and the sun. Assault Vest Rillaboom can take Flutter Mane's attacks and threaten it with Wood Hammer and finish it off on the subsequent turn with Grassy Glide. Flutter Mane pairs well with Pokemon that can redirect attacks away from it such as Ogerpon and Amoonguss (Definitely mention how it helps against Urshifu-R, tying to your earlier point. You can also bring up sun setters in this paragraph which threaten Rillaboom.) since this allows it to maintain its Focus Sash and stay on the field for longer. Raging Bolt can remove Pokemon such as Urshifu-R that threaten Flutter Mane while also reliably switching into Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide. Chi-Yu also benefits from Icy Wind speed control and threatens Rillaboom while also boosting Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin.

Flutter Mane is a supportive special attacker that functions well on sun teams. Since Flutter Mane is immune to Fake Out, (AC) it can ignore the threat of Fake Out and to use Taunt on Pokemon such as Calyrex-I or Amoonguss as well as being able to attack without having to fear the chip damage that the move does. (Consulted in Discord DMs) Flutter Mane can use supporting support moves such as Taunt over Shadow Ball to prevent opposing Pokemon like Calyrex-I or Amoonguss from setting Trick Room or using moves like Spore, (AC) respectively. When paired with Pokemon that set sun such as Koraidon or Groudon, Flutter Mane can use Protosynthesis to boost its Speed and use Icy Wind as a form of speed control, outspeeding and slowing down Pokemon such as Calyrex-S.
