[SET COMMENTS]
Torkoal is an essential member of Fire teams, providing valuable role compression by setting up sun and Stealth Rock, removing entry hazards, and tanking physical attacks. STAB Lava Plume provides decent damage and a high chance to burn, which proves particularly useful against physical attackers like Mimikyu and Iron Hands. Body Press allows Torkoal uses Torkoal's high Defense to heavily damage the likes of Kingambit, Blissey, and Tyranitar, as well as preventing Roaring Moon and Hydreigon from setting up freely. Alternatively, Yawn can be used to force a switch, allowing Torkoal to freely bring a teammate that can benefit from the sun. Heat Rock provides more turns of sun for allies to benefit from, but Heavy-Duty Boots greatly increases Torkoal's longevity. If using the latter, getting fewer turns of sun also allows Fire teams to better manage opposing Protosynthesis sweepers, such as Flutter Mane or Sandy Shocks.

Thanks to Chlorophyll and its unique typing, Scovillain pairs well with Torkoal, as the sun allows it to outspeed and KO foes such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Quaquaval. Choice Specs Scovillian can significantly damage to Toxapex with Solar Beam and even 2HKO Clodsire in the sun with Flamethrower. Cinderace is another wallbreaker that thrives under the sun and appreciates Stealth Rock chipping at the opposing team. It can run Court Change, allowing for more entry hazard control if you're running Heat Rock Torkoal, or use a Choice Scarf to defeat foes like Flutter Mane and Choice Specs Greninja. Iron Moth can use sun and Fire Blast to OHKO foes such as Iron Jugulis and Sableye. Ceruledge scares out Flutter Mane, which can otherwise become problematic due to Power Gem and Protosynthesis boosting its Speed in sun. Thanks to its great defensive stats and Unaware, Skeledirge is an amazing partner for Torkoal, handling setup sweepers such as Curse Dondozo and Belly Drum Azumarill for it. Also, sun weakens Water-type moves for Skeledirge and boosts its Torch Song. Rotom-H can tank special hits Torkoal can't withstand from the likes of Iron Valiant, as well as providing a valuable Ground immunity, which allows it to come in on foes such as Clodsire, Sandy Shocks, and Ting-Lu. Volcarona can dismantle Dark-type teams and occasionally weaken physical attackers thanks to Flame Body.

[SET COMMENTS]
Being the only sun setter currently released in Scarlet and Violet, Torkoal is an essential member of any Fire team. (Torkoal is usually the one setting sun even in oldgens, he's the preferred setter due to its great role compression, as said in sentence 2) It provides valuable role compression by setting up Stealth Rocks, removing entry hazards, and tanking physical attacks. Stealth Rocks chips away at the opposing team and is a free setup against certain leads such as Klefki or Meowscarada. (Heavily doubt Fairy leads with Klefki; another thing is you should never, ever, lead Torkoal in the Fairy matchup unless you want to have a bloodbath ft. Fluttermane + This is a bit filler)Rapids Spin protects teammates from taking damage from entry hazards, which can be crucial when opting for a different item over Heavy-Duty Boots.(This has been said in the second sentence) Lava Plume provides some decent STAB damage and a high chance to burn which proves particularly useful against foes like Mimikyu or Iron Hands. Body Press allows Torkoal to use its high Defense to deal significant damage to the likes of Kingambit and Blissey (it prevents Roaring moon/Hydreigon to setup freely, too). Alternatively, Yawn can be used to force a switch, allowing Torkoal to freely bring in one of its teammates that can benefit from the sun. Heat Rock provides more turns of sun for allies to benefit fromexploit, but the Heavy-Duty Boots greatly increase Torkoal's longevity.(Also, with Sun accidentally turning on Protosynthesis, HDB lets you control when you want the weather as it would be awkward to have Flutt or RM or Socks going brr for the next 6 turns without you having cplay to them...)

Thanks to Scovillain's Chlorophyll and unique typing, fFire teams can finally benefit from their very own sun sweeper. Scovillain pairs perfectly well with Torkoal, as the sun allows it to outspeed and KO opponents such as Chien-Pao, Great Tusk, Iron Treads and Quaquaval. Scovillain also benefits from the additional boost that Growth provides under the sun, allowing it to be played with Substitute for a better matchup against powerful priority users like Kingambit. Cinderace is another wallbreaker that thrives under the sun and appreciates Torkoal's Stealth Rocks chipping at the opposing team. Under the sun, Choice Band Cindercace can even OHKO Clodsire, and it 2HKOs Ting-Lu after Stealth Rocks. Iron Moth also benefits from the sun which allows its Fire Blast to OHKO foes such as Iron Jugulis and Sableye (I think Scarf or HDB Cinderace is the better set for now, with Scarf being a kinda good cleaner too. HDB Cindy has Court Change which helps if you have a heat rock torkoal). Torkoal's sun allows Ceruledge to better tank super-effective Water-type moves like Azumarill's Aqua Jet, triggering its Weak Armor and Weakness Policy and allowing it to sweep (Cerul's main set uses Focus Sash, its meant to tank a hit from something like flutt and revenge it back, though it really isnt that good). Ceruledge also handles Flutter Mane, which can otherwise become problematic due to Power Gem and Protosynthesis boosting its Speed under the sun. Thanks to its great defensive stats and Unaware, Skeledirge is an amazing defensive partner for Torkoal as the sun softens the blow from Water-type moves and boosts its Torch Song. Skeledirge can also handle setup sweepers that Torkoal would struggle against, such as Curse Dondozo and Belly Drum Azumarill. Rotom-Heat is another good partner, as it can tank special hits from the likes of Greninja and Iron Valiant that Torkoal wouldn't be able to withstand. Rotom-Heat also provides Torkoal, and Fire teams in general, with a valuable Ground immunity, allowing it to come in on foes such as Clodsire, Sandy Shocks, and Ting-Lu. In return, Torkoal can tank hits that threaten Rotom-Heat, like Great Tusk's Close Combat.
*A little nitpick here is that this is too long of a team mates section, if possible, trim it down to 4-5 sentences if ever. You dont need 2 sentences for each mon ;w;

1/2, thankie op piplup

 

[Rio Vidal]

[set comments]
- add tyranitar to bpress comments
- would give specs scovillian a mention, can beat up toxapex with solar beam and 2hko clodsire in the sun, imo growth is not as good
- specs greninja can run surf, so rotom-h doesnt relioably check it. remove that example
- add volcarona as a teammate, beats up dark
