[SET COMMENTS]

* With its Ghost typing and Disguise, Mimikyu is a unique supportive presence in the current metagame. Disguise allows Mimikyu to absorb a hit from the vast majority of the metagame, and then set Trick Room largely undeterred. It also comes with a good amount of other supportive options in Will-O-Wisp and Taunt.

* Shadow Sneak is Mimikyu's primary attacking move due to its middling Speed tier being less than ideal in Trick Room. Shadow Sneak can heavily threaten Calyrex-S and supports partners such as Weakness Policy Calyrex-I and Necrozma-DM.

* Taunt is an option to lower the impact of opposing supportive Pokemon such as Porygon2 and Amoonguss. Play Rough serves as a method to overcome offensive Dark-types such as Yveltal, Galarian Moltres, and Urshifu-S. Phantom Force is a higher Base Power Ghost-type option that can waste opposing Dynamax turns.

* Will-O-Wisp lets Mimikyu significantly reduce the damage output of the biggest physically attacking threats in the metagame such as Zacian-C, Thundurus, and Groudon.

* Mental Herb stops Taunt from blocking Trick Room a majority of the time.

[SET COMMENTS]

* With Steam Engine and an insane Gigantamax move in G-Max Volcalith, Coalossal threatens to become one of the fastest and most potent attackers in the metagame. When combined with a Surf user such as Dragapult or an Aqua Jet user such as Urshifu-R, Coalossal can easily maximize its Speed and gain a significant offensive boost from Weakness Policy.

* Heat Wave is the Fire-type STAB move of choice due to it being a consistent spread move. It can also be used to set sun as Max Flare, which helps to mitigate Coalossal's otherwise severe weakness to Water. Said sun does remove Solar Beam's charge turn, but Solar Beam will usually be used as Max Overgrowth anyway.

* Meteor Beam allows for the strongest G-Max Volcalith possible, which is the primary reason to run Coalossal thanks to its significant 1/6 damage to the targeted foe between turns.

* Solar Beam via Max Overgrowth offers Coalossal a way through problematic Ground- and Water-types such as Groudon and Kyogre, as well as setting Grassy Terrain, lowering the power of incoming Earthquakes. Earth Power is responsible for beating threats such as opposing Coalossal and Nihilego while also boosting Coalossal's Special Defense with Max Quake.

* 180 Speed EVs allow Coalossal to outspeed maximum Speed Venusaur in sun while at +6.

evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

* Volcarona's access to Rage Powder, Steel resistance, and Flame Body ability make it a good choice as a supportive Pokemon, as it is able to handle the likes of Zacian-C and Necrozma-DM with ease. It also comes with a hefty base 135 Special Attack stat that allows it to go on the offensive when needed.

* Overheat allows Volcarona to always ensure KOs on Jolly Zacian-C and Metagross. Heat Wave is a consistent spread option that doesn't drop Volcarona's Special Attack stat at the cost of lower Base Power.

* Struggle Bug allows Volcarona to reduce the impact of specially attacking threats such as Kyogre and Calyrex-S, whereas Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers such as Thundurus and Groudon.

* Focus Sash is the item of choice for Volcarona, allowing it to absorb at least two attacks if it uses Rage Powder immediately.

* With its Ghost-typing and Disguise, Mimikyu is a unique supportive presence in the current metagame. Disguise allows Mimikyu to absorb a hit from the vast majority of the metagame, and then set or even Trick Room largely undeterred. It also comes with a good amount of other supportive options such as Will-O-Wisp, Taunt and Phantom Force (what supportive utility does phantom force have?).

* Shadow Sneak is the primary attacking move of Mimikyu, due to its middling speed tier being less than ideal in Trick Room. This can easily wipe out heavily threaten (doesn't OHKO) Calyrex-S, and supports partners such as Weakness Policy Calyrex-I and Necrozma-DM.

* Taunt is an option to lower the impact of opposing supportive Pokemon such as Porygon2 and Amoonguss. Play Rough serves as a method to overcome offensive Dark-types such as Yveltal, Galarian Moltres and Urshifu-S. Phantom Force is a higher Base Power Ghost option, which allows it to better handle Pokemon such as Necrozma-DM and Calyrex-I while also wasting opposing Dynamax turns (first two points are fine. in no way does phantom force let mimikyu take on ndm or caly-i tho tbh. just leave it at having a strong ghost move that can dodge max moves).

* Will-O-Wisp makes Mimikyu capable of significantly reducing the damage output of the biggest physical attacking threats in the metagame such as Zacian-C, Thundurus and Groudon.

* Mental Herb eliminates the impact that Taunt can have on its supportive capabilities, essentially allowing it to setup Trick Room majority of the time.

When combined with a Surf user such as Dragapult, Coalossal can easily maximize its Speed and gain a significant offensive boost from Weakness Policy. (Mention Aqua Jet Urshifu-R)

* Heat Wave is the Fire-type STAB move of choice due to being a consistent spread move, as well as only taking a single turn to use. It can also be used to set the sun as Max Flare, which helps to mitigate Coalossal's otherwise severe weakness to Water.

* Meteor Beam allows for the strongest G-Max Volcalith possible, however does require a turn to charge when outside of Dynamax (unnecessary point imo, I'd instead focus on highlighting vocalith chip as its nowhere to be found here and is a huge reason to use coal).

* Solar Beam offers Coalossal a way through problematic Ground- and Water-types such as Groudon and Kyogre, as well as setting Grassy Terrain lowering the power of incoming Earthquakes. Earth Power is responsible for beating threats such as opposing Coalossal and Nihilego, while also boosting Coalossal's Special Defense with Max Quake.

It also comes with a hefty base 135 Special Attack stat, that allows it to go on the offensive when needed.

* Overheat allows Volcarona to always ensure KOs on Jolly Zacian-C and Metagross Solgaleo. (solg usage is dropping while meta usage is rising) Heat Wave is a consistent spread option that still allows for major 2HKOs against the aforementioned threats, as well as Venusaur (This reads pretty weird to me. I'd just write that heat wave can be used for consistent spread damage / doesnt worry about spatk drops / trades power to do so obviously).

* Rage Powder is Volcarona's main purpose, being able to redirect and take even the most threatening attacks such as Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Necrozma-DM's Sunsteel Strike. (You're restating yourself from the overview. cut this or change the language)

* Struggle Bug allows Volcarona to reduce the impact of special attacking threats such as Kyogre and Calyrex-S, whereas Will-O-Wisp allows it to cripple physical attackers such as Thundurus and Groudon.

* Focus Sash is the item of choice for Volcarona, allowing it to absorb at least two attacks while using Rage Powder.
