[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its typing and good physical bulk, Skeledirge serves as an excellent spinblocker that can wall common spinners such as Iron Treads with Earth Eater and Quaquaval with Desolate Land. It also walls threats like Choice Band Cinderace and Zamazenta-C and, depending on its ability, Garchomp and Primordial Sea Zapdos. Skeledirge can then use Torch Song to set up on passive opponents like Scream Tail and non-Well-Baked Body Blissey or Will-O-Wisp to burn an incoming foe, including switch-ins like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk. Hex alongside Will-O-Wisp does more damage, but Shadow Ball can be used for more consistent damage. Skeledirge pairs well with hazard setters such as Garchomp and Iron Treads, as it allows them to keep their hazards on the field, and they can in turn handle opposing Well-Baked Body Pokemon. Due to its middling Special Defense, Skeledirge appreciates specially defensive teammates like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra. Additionally, a teammate that covers the type that Skeledirge chooses not to be immune to, such as Quaquaval for Earth Eater variants and Corviknight for Desolate Land variants, helps form a strong defensive core. Dark-types like Meowscarada and Chien-Pao also OHKO Skeledirge with a bit of chip damage, so Pokemon like Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing that can threaten them are appreciated.

Thanks to its typing and good physical bulk, Skeledirge serves as an excellent spinblocker that can wall common spinners such as Iron Treads with Earth Eater and Quaquaval with Desolate Land. I would add a sentence here that it walls some other key foes like Lucario and Zama-C, and with the correct ability, Garchomp and Inteleon. Skeledirge can then use Torch Song to set up on passive opponents like Blissey and Scream Tail or Will-O-Wisp to burn an incoming foe. Hex alongside Will-O-Wisp burns does more damage, but Shadow Ball can be used for more consistent damage. Skeledirge pairs well with hazard setters such as Garchomp and Iron Treads, as it allows them to keep their hazards on the field, and they can in turn handle opposing Well-Baked Body Pokemon.

Skeledirge @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Earth Eater / Desolate Land im ngl you could probably remove EE (would need confirmation from QC member). treads can click knock predicting the skele, making it harder for skele to spinblock but on the other hand EE allows it to check chomper, mglo tran ig, but that makes it more of a wall than a spinblocker since those mons dont get spin.

Thanks to its typing and good physical bulk, Skeledirge serves as an excellent spinblocker that can wall common spinners such as Iron Treads with Earth Eater and Quaquaval with Desolate Land, as well as threats like Lucario Lucario can 2hko with steel beam with minor chip, maybe mention Choice Band Cinderace and Zamazenta-C, and, depending on its ability, Garchomp and Inteleon mud shot 2hkoes, maybe mention Primordial Sea Zapdos. Skeledirge can then use Torch Song to set up on passive opponents like Blissey and Scream Tail or Will-O-Wisp to burn an incoming foe switch-ins like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk. Hex alongside Will-O-Wisp burns does more damage, but Shadow Ball can be used for more consistent damage.
