Torracat is one of NFE's better pivots thanks to its excellent Speed tier combined with its ability Intimidate, allowing it to pressure physical threats like Thwackey and Machoke. U-turn is Torracat's main pivoting attack, allowing it to inflict a small amount of chip damage on its foe; however, Parting Shot can be used instead, as it can weaken opposing damage output and allow for a partner to come in without risking too much damage. Taunt allows Torracat to prevent walls like Galarian Corsola, Mareanie, and Clefairy from recovering, setting entry hazards, and setting up. Overheat is Torracat's strongest attack, allowing it to hit Grass-, Bug-, and Steel-types like Tangela, Charjabug, and Ferroseed and OHKOing them after Stealth Rock. Flamethrower can also be an option when paired with Nasty Plot, allowing Torracat to stallbreak threats like Galarian Corsola and Clefairy. Will-O-Wisp enables Torracat to threaten physical attackers like Piloswine, while Toxic is also an option, as it cripples walls like Palpitoad and Carkol. Maximum Speed investment allows Torracat to outspeed threats like Thwackey, Adamant Raboot, Rash Pikachu, and Gastly.

Torracat fits well on balance teams, as it can prolong momentum and offensive pressure. Torracat is great at applying pressure through U-turn or Parting Shots Shot by luring in threats like Mareanie and Galarian Corsola; therefore, carrying Pokemon that can utilize that pressure like Pikachu and Thwackey is helpful, as they can deal with these threats and keep up momentum. Stealth Rock and other entry hazards are also one of Torracat's biggest weaknesses, as they block Torracat from building momentum, thus having consistent entry hazard removal from Pokemon like Hattrem, Vullaby, and Wartortle is essential. In addition, carrying entry hazard setters like Piloswine, Ferroseed, and Galarian Corsola can help Torracat's role by luring in threats like Machoke and Hattrem, forcing their health to be chipped down. Torracat is also very susceptible to Fire- and Water-types checks like Lampent, Brionne, and Wartortle; therefore, pairing it with Water- and Grass-types like specially defensive Palpitoad and Roselia is encouraged. Furthermore, Knock Off users like Thwackey, Galarian Linoone, and Machoke are good partners to wear down threats and revenge kill opposing Pokemon.

Torracat is one of NFE's premiere better pivots thanks to its excellent Speed tier combined with its ability Intimidate allowing it to pressure physical threats like Thwackey and Raboot Machoke (premiere is usually reserved for the best or most notable, of which I think we agree torra isn’t. Timid CB Raboot outspeeds and 2hkos torra with HJK even after intimidate, and can even 1hko with SR. Machoke is better as you can compund intimidate with pshot to neuter it + setup on it of its weakened). U-turn is Torracat's main pivoting attack allowing it to inflict a small chip to its opponent; however, Parting Shot can be used instead as it can weaken opposing damage output and allow for a partner to come in without risking too much damage. Taunt allows Torracat to cripple walls like Corsola-Galar, Charjabug and Klang from recovering or doing their roles, setting entry hazards, and setting up (may as well expand on what these roles are rather than leave it vague). Overheat is Torracat's strongest attack allowing it to hit Grass-, Bug-, and Steel-types like Tangela, Charjabug, and Ferroseed and OHKOing them after Stealth Rocks. Flamethrower can also be an option when paired with Nasty Plot allowing Torracat to stallbreak threats like Corsola-Galar Galarian Corsola and Clefairy. Will-O-Wisp enables Torracat to threaten Physical Attackers like Piloswine by halving their attacks while also chipping them down in range of other attacks, while Toxic is also an option as it cripples walls like Corsola-Galar Galarian Corsola and Carkol (fluff, don’t beed to explain why burn threatens physical attackers). Max Speed allows Torracat to outspeed threats like Thwackey, Adamant Raboot, Rash Pikachu, and Gastly.

Torracat fits well on balance teams as it can prolong momentum and offensive pressure. Forming pivoting cores with Torracat is therefore encouraged, pivots like Pikachu, Raboot, Thwackey, Drakloak and Klang are great partners (drak is a current C+ rank mon so not worth referencing). Torracat is great at applying pressure through U-turn or Parting Shots by luring in threats like Mareanie and Corsola-Galar Galarian Corsola therefore carrying Pokemon like Pikachu and Drakloak Gastly is helpful. Stealth Rocks and other hazards are also one of Torracat's biggest weaknesses as they block Torracat from building momentum, having consistent hazard removal like Hattrem, Vullaby and Wartortle is essential. Alternatively carrying hazard setters like Piloswine, Ferroseed and Galarian Corsola can help Torracat's role by luring in threats and switching out while forcing them to chip their health. Furthermore Knock Off users and other wallbreakers like Thwackey, Galarian Linoone and Kadabra are good partners to wear down threats and revenge kill opposing Pokemons. Torracat's combination of Intimidate and Parting shot is a great way to support less bulky threats and set up sweepers like Pikachu Fraxure and Wartortle. (pika is so frail that it can still get 1hko’d by most relevant physical attackers even at -2. Cb / setup fraxure instead is more reliable for this tip)

QC 1/2 thx for your patience and diligence in updating this set post-DLC!

U-turn is Torracat's main pivoting attack allowing it to inflict a small chip to its opponent; however, Parting Shot can be used instead as it can weaken opposing damage output and allow for a partner to come in without risking too much damage. Taunt allows Torracat to cripple walls like Corsola-Galar, Charjabug and Klang Even SpDef Klang gets 3HKOd by Flamethrower, and Charjabug technically can live an Overheat but likely isn't setting webs up on Torracat regardless considering all the factors like hazard control and prior chip to be considered before losing 90% of your health. Maybe change to Vullaby/Corsola/Fraxure? On a side note, it's "Galarian Corsola". from recovering (comma) setting entry hazards, and setting up. Overheat is Torracat's strongest attack allowing it to hit Grass-, Bug-, and Steel-types like Tangela, Charjabug, and Ferroseed and OHKOing them after Stealth Rocks. Flamethrower can also be an option when paired with Nasty Plot allowing Torracat to stallbreak threats like Galarian Corsola and Clefairy. Will-O-Wisp enables Torracat to threaten Physical Attackers like Piloswine while Toxic is also an option as it cripples walls like Galarian Corsola Palpitoad, avoids repetition of Cors mentions and Carkol. Max Speed allows Torracat to outspeed threats like Thwackey, Adamant Raboot, Rash Pikachu, and Gastly.

Torracat fits well on balance teams as it can prolong momentum and offensive pressure. Forming pivoting cores with Torracat is therefore encouraged, pivots like Pikachu, Raboot, Thwackey, and Klang are great partners wouldn't necessarily call raboot a good partner; they don't really take advantage of each others switchins or break down any shared checks. maybe Charjabug instead?. Torracat is great at applying pressure through U-turn or Parting Shots by luring in threats like Mareanie and Galarian Corsola therefore carrying Pokemon like Pikachu and Gastly is helpful. merge this into the line before it; pikachu, thwackey and klang are good specifically because they can take advantage of mareanie/cors and keep up momentum if needed. you're kinda repeating yourself by mentioning pikachu otherwise. if you want to preserve gastly, add a followup sentence to say "frail breakers are also good for this" or something similar. Stealth Rocks and other hazards are also one of Torracat's biggest weaknesses as they block Torracat from building momentum, having consistent hazard removal like Hattrem, Vullaby and Wartortle is essential. Alternatively in addition (you want both, ideally) carrying hazard setters like Piloswine, Ferroseed and Galarian Corsola can help Torracat's role by luring in threats what threats? mentions pls and switching out while forcing them to chip their health. Torracat is also very susceptible to Fire-type checks like Brionne, Wartortle and Lampent therefore pairing it with Grass- and Water-types like Roselia and Specially Defensive Palpitoad is encouraged. would personally prefer something more specific than fire-type checks. maybe specify water and opposing fire-types (brionne/wart, lampent/carkol) instead? Furthermore Knock Off users and other wallbreakers already covered like Thwackey, Galarian Linoone and Kadabra Machoke are good partners to wear down threats and revenge kill opposing Pokemons. Torracat's combination of Intimidate and Parting shot is a great way to support less bulky threats and set up sweepers like Fraxure and Wartortle. you've already talked about parting shot & intimidate; delete this sentence and include set-up sweepers in the pika/thwackey thing

2/2 good job, might be worth touching up on the small QC things like galarian corsola, pokemon not having a plural, etc. to make that process quicker
