[SET COMMENTS]
Archaludon carves a niche as a rain sweeper due to its good defensive typing and access to Electro Shot. Electro Shot hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight and Empoleon, and allows Archaludon to set up overtime and steamroll. Archaludon is a good Stealth Rock setter as it is able to deter common hazard removal such as Corviknight. Earthquake hits Desolate Land Pokemon, such as Ceruledge and Cinderace, that try to switch-in, as well as RegenVest Pokemon like Iron Hands and Swampert. Archaludon supports Pokemon that are stopped by Corviknight such as Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder, as Archaludon is able to deter it with Electro Shot. Ground-types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T block Archaludon’s Electro Shot and threaten to KO it back. Therefore, partners who can handle these threats such as Manaphy and Chien-Pao are appreciated. Unaware walls like Deoxys-D and Scream Tail ignore Archaludon’s boosts and can tank its moves. Wallbreakers that overwhelm these threats such as Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder make for good teammates.

Archaludon carves a niche as a rain sweeper due to its good defensive typing and access to Electro Shot. Electro Shot hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight and Empoleon, I don't feel like you need to mention non-Volt Absorb Corviknight anymore since its very niche right now, also Empoleon runs VA most of the time so you could either say non-Volt Absorb Empoleon or Manaphy since Manaphy is also a good example and allows Archaludon to set up overtime and steamroll. this change might be a bit iffy but it could be nice to mention that Draco Meteor works well in conjunction with Electro Shot as the boosts from Electro Shot offset the Draco Meteor drops Archaludon is a good Stealth Rock setter as it is able to deter common hazard removal such as Corviknight. Earthquake hits Desolate Land Pokemon, such as Ceruledge and Cinderace, neither of these mons are comfortable switching in on Archaludon, plus Deso Land Ceruledge is very niche that try to switch-in, as well as RegenVest Pokemon like Iron Hands and Swampert. I think VA Empoleon is a much better example over Swampert since EQ does about 20% to Swampert but about 45% to Empoleon, also Iron Hands threatens Archaludon with Drain Punch so changing this to Hoodra might be better Archaludon supports Pokemon that are stopped by Corviknight such as Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder, as Archaludon is able to deter it with Electro Shot. Ground-types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T block Archaludon’s Electro Shot and threaten to KO it back. add that Swampert completely walls Archaludon Therefore, partners who can handle these threats such as Manaphy and Chien-Pao are appreciated. Unaware walls like Deoxys-D and Scream Tail ignore Archaludon’s boosts and can tank its moves. Wallbreakers that overwhelm these threats such as Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder make for good teammates.

Archaludon carves a niche as a rain sweeper due to its good defensive typing and access to Electro Shot. not really, the point of this set is that it can set hazards and smack removers like corv, mandi, and quaqua with eshot / draco. reflect this in the first sentence. Electro Shot hits non-Volt Absorb Corviknight the aforementioned hazard removal options and Empoleon, and allows Archaludon to set up overtime and steamroll snowball quickly and threaten to get out of hand. Archaludon is a good Stealth Rock setter as it is able to deter common hazard removal such as Corviknight. Earthquake hits Desolate Land Pokemon, such as Ceruledge Iron Moth and Cinderace, that try to switch-in, as well as RegenVest Pokemon like Iron Hands and Swampert. Body Press is a niche option that allows Archaludon to chunk Blissey and Chansey. Archaludon supports Pokemon pivots that are stopped by Corviknight such as Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder Azelf with its ability to maintain hazards, allowing these pivots to chip their checks like Corviknight and Empoleon and win over time., as Archaludon is able to deter it with Electro Shot. Ground-types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T block Archaludon’s Electro Shot and threaten to KO it back. they dont like switching into draco at all Therefore, partners who can handle these threats such as Manaphy and Chien-Pao are appreciated. Unaware walls like Deoxys-D and Scream Tail ignore Archaludon’s boosts and can tank its moves. this sentence doesn't make sense since archa is less of a sweeper than a rocks setter; eshot is just there to make it more threatening and to bully removers. Wallbreakers that overwhelm these threats such as Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder make for good teammates. mention how Archaludon is threatened out by fast offensive threats like Walking Wake, Latios and Zamazenta-H, making partners like... good partners.
Please ping me here or on Discord (tag is othermetagames) for a recheck to ensure you've implemented this properly.
