Ground

[SET]
Ursaluna @ Flame Orb
Name: Swords Dance (Ground)
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Facade
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch / Fire Punch

[SET COMMENTS]
Ursaluna's unrivaled power makes it a phenomenal addition for any Ground team. After Flame Orb activates, Facade 2HKOes the bulkiest Pokemon in the metagame such as Dondozo, Ting-Lu, and Amoonguss. Because of Flame Orb, Ursaluna can also function as a great status absorber. Earthquake is preferred over Headlong Rush, because it allows Ursaluna to maintain its remarkable bulk as well as having the added benefit of avoiding Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin damage. Swords Dance can be used to bolster Ursaluna's Attack to incredible heights, giving everything a tough time switching in. Drain Punch can be used to give Ursaluna more longevity, while Fire Punch can be used to hit targets like Corviknight and Air Balloon Gholdengo for super effective damage. Alternatively, Ursaluna can run 140 Speed EVs in order to keep up with other pokemon in its Speed tier, such as Kingambit, and outspeeding slightly faster Pokemon that do not run any Speed investment such as Corviknight and Skeledirge. Max HP is used to maximize Ursaluna's bulk, while the 4 Speed EVs are used to outspeed any uninvested Pokemon of the same Speed tier, such as Iron Hands and Alolan Muk.

Ursaluna greatly appreciates entry hazard support from Ting-Lu and Quagsire, as the extra damage could be the difference between a 2HKO and a 1HKO on physically defensive Rotom-W. Ursaluna also appreciates a teammate like Clodsire, which can switch into Water- and Fighting-type attacks from Urshifu-R, Azumarill, and Sneasler, both of which Ursaluna is weak to. Another great teammate for Ursaluna is Landorus-T, which can U-turn and allow Ursaluna to come in freely and launch its extremely powerful attacks. Alternatively, Landorus-I is a fantastic teammate for Ursaluna. Ursaluna is able to deal with the special walls that check Landorus and vice versa. Iron Treads is another great teammate for Ursaluna, as it keeps hazards off the field in order to prevent Ursaluna from taking more damage. Bulkier Pokemon that want to stick around for a long time, such as Ting-Lu, Quagsire, and Clodsire, greatly appreciate Ursaluna's presence, as it can freely switch in to status moves and Knock Off once Flame Orb has activated. Finally, Choice Scarf Great Tusk is another teammate that appreciates Ursaluna. Great Tusk is able to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon that check Ursaluna such as Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Choice Specs Greninja. Once Ursaluna has sufficiently weakened the opposing team, Great Tusk will have an easy time finishing the game with its high speed and powerful attacks.

implemented, your first comment was a bit confusing to me but I tried my best. thanks!
 
- would list the iron hands/alolan muk as pokemon the speed investment helps it beat
- name a pokemon ursaluna ko bz of hazard support, would make quaquaval into urshifu-r, basically more used/same coverage
- add landoi as a teammate for ursaluna

looks good, qc 2/2

Ursaluna's unrivaled power makes it a phenomenal addition for any Ground-type team. After Flame Orb activates, Facade 2HKOes the bulkiest Pokemon in the metagame (rc) such as Dondozo, Ting-Lu, and Amoonguss. Due to Because of Flame Orb, Ursaluna can also function as a great status absorber. Earthquake is preferred over Headlong Rush, (ac) because it allows Ursaluna to maintain its remarkable bulk (rc) as well as having the added benefit of avoiding Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin damage. Swords Dance can be used to bolster Ursaluna's Attack to incredible heights, giving everything a tough time switching in. Drain Punch can be used to give Ursaluna more longevity, while Fire Punch can be used to hit targets like Corviknight and Air Balloon Gholdengo for Super Effective super effective damage. Alternatively, Ursaluna can run 140 Speed EVs in order to keep up with other pokemon in its Speed tier, such as Kingambit, and outspeeding slightly faster Pokemon that do not run any Speed investment (rc) such as Corviknight and Skeledirge. Max HP is used to make Ursaluna be incredibly bulky maximize Ursaluna's bulk, while the 12 points of 4 Speed EVs we discussed this on discord re: creep are used to outspeed any uninvested Pokemon of the same Speed tier, such as Iron Hands and Alolan Muk.

Ursaluna greatly appreciates entry hazard support from Ting-Lu and Quagsire, as the extra damage could be the difference between a 2HKO and a 1HKO on physically defensive Rotom-W. Ursaluna also appreciates a teammate like Clodsire, who which can switch in to into Water- (ah) and Fighting-type attacks from Urshifu-R, Azumarill, and Sneasler, both of which Ursaluna is weak to. Another great teammate for Ursaluna is Landorus-Therian, whose U-turn allows for which can U-turn and allow Ursaluna to come in freely and launch its extremely powerful attacks. Alternatively, Landorus-I is a fantastic teammate for Ursaluna. The strongest physical and special attackers teaming up gives all types of teams a lot of trouble. this (previous) sentence seems true no matter what analysis it's on, so it's very vague and maybe unneeded Iron Treads is another great teammate for Ursaluna, (ac) as it keeps hazards off the field in order to prevent Ursaluna from taking more damage from things other than attacks. Bulkier Pokemon that want to stick around for a long time, such as Ting-Lu, Quagsire, and Clodsire, greatly appreciate Ursaluna's presence, as it can freely switch in to status moves and Knock Off once the Flame Orb has activated.
