In general, Sirfetch'd struggles to stand out among other Fighting-type wallbreakers like Conkeldurr and Terrakion, but Scrappy lets it spam Close Combat without fear of a Ghost-type like Aegislash or Dragapult pivoting in. Knock Off is helpful for crippling Toxapex's and Hippowdon's longevity, while Poison Jab is necessary to deal with Fairy-types such as Togekiss, Sylveon, and Clefable. While Choice Band is usually the item of choice for the power it provides Sirfetch'd with, Eject Pack is an option alongside Dugtrio to make trapping Toxapex easier, although Sirfetch'd misses out on 2HKOs against Pokemon like Kommo-o and defensive Clefable. Sirfetch'd's aim is to repeatedly use Close Combat to break teams early- and mid-game while preventing offensive threats like Hydreigon from setting up and taking over games by threatening to revenge kill them with First Impression.

VoltTurn support from Pokemon such as Dragapult, Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Rotom-H is essential. Additionally, they can provide speed control with Thunder Wave, Dragapult and Hydreigon can work with Sirfetch'd to wear down Fairy-types, and Rotom-H is a generally solid Fairy-type check. Late-game cleaners like Nasty Plot Togekiss and Bulk Up Corviknight benefit from Sirfetch'd breaking through teams, and both can deal with Toxapex. Other Pokemon that can manage Toxapex, such as Reuniclus and Rotom-C, are also good teammates.

I do not really like how the first sentence implies that it is never worthwhile -- it makes me question the purpose of this to begin with. Moreover...

In general, Sirfetch'd is outclassed by Conkeldurr and Terrakion as Fighting-type wallbreakers.

I would reword this to say something along the lines of "In general, Sirfetch'd finds itself struggling to standout in the face of competition such as Conkeldurr and Terrakion as a premier Fighting-type wallbreaker, but Sirfetch'd does have access to Scrappy, which lets it spam Close Combat without fear of a Ghost-type like Aegislash or Dragapult pivoting in." and then delete the Scrappy sentence a little later as it is placed there. Stating the niche at the start gives the reader some clear understanding of the purpose.

I would also at least backslash Eject Pack and mention it (specifically in conjunction with Dugtrio). Without this option, Toxapex is quite the nuisance seeing as Sirfetch'd does not use moves to hit it, unlike other Fighting types.

1/2 with these

Knock Off is helpful for crippling Toxapex and Hippowdon's longevity, while Poison Jab is necessary to deal with Fairy-types such as Togekiss, Sylveon, and Clefable. While Choice Band is usually the item of choice for the power it provides Sirfetch'd with, Eject Pack is an option alongside Dugtrio to make trapping Toxapex easier. It'd be useful to note a couple of KOes you miss out on with Eject Pack. Sirfetch'd's aim is to repeatedly use Close Combat to break teams early- and mid-game while preventing offensive threats like Hydreigon from setting up and taking over games by threatening to revenge kill them with First Impression.

VoltTurn support from Pokemon such as Dragapult, Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Rotom-H is essential. Additionally, Dragapult and Hydreigon can provide speed control with Thunder Wave and can work with Sirfetch'd to wear down Fairy-types, while Rotom-H is a generally solid Fairy-type check. Rotom-H can also spread paralysis with Discharge and Thunder Wave, it's certainly worth noting. Late-game cleaners like Nasty Plot Togekiss and Bulk Up Corviknight benefit from Sirfetch'd breaking through teams, and both can deal with Toxapex. Other Pokemon that can manage Toxapex, such as Life Orb Clefable and Rotom-C, are also good teammates. The classic Life Orb Clefable isn't really run anymore; in fact, Toxapex checks most Life Orb Clefable's now. Another example like Reuniclus would make more sense.
