Specially Defensive (Wo-Chien) @ Leftovers

Careful Nature
- Leech Seed
- Ruination / Foul Play / Taunt
- Knock Off
- Protect / Taunt

[SET COMMENTS]
Wo-Chien's unique typing and movepool backed by its high, Tablets of Ruin-boosted bulk grants it a solid place in the metagame, checking threats such as Calyrex-S, Arceus-Ground, and Kyogre. Leech Seed reduces Wo-Chien's passivity, while allowing teammates to heal after switching in. Ruination hits foes like Arceus-Fairy, Ting-Lu, and Giratina-O. Foul Play is a stronger alternative against physical attackers like Arceus and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground that also does a decent chunk of damage to Koraidon and Zacian-C and allows Wo-Chien to punish physical attackers that have Taunt. Knock Off gives Wo-Chien more of a niche due relevant Pokemon that learn it being rare, and it is useful against foes like Ting-Lu and Landorus-T. However, Arceus formes, which can absorb Knock Off without losing their items, are quite omnipresent. Protect lets Wo-Chien safely rack up Leftovers and Leech Seed recovery. Alternatively, Taunt shuts down setup and entry hazard Pokemon such as Arceus formes and Ting-Lu on the switch. Tera Poison gives Wo-Chien key resistances to attacks like Koraidon's Low Kick, Zacian-C's Play Rough, Double Dance Miraidon's Dazzling Gleam, and the omnipresent U-turn from foes like Landorus-T, Koraidon, and Miraidon while also offering an immunity to Toxic and letting Wo-Chien absorb Toxic Spikes. However, Tera Poison also makes Wo-Chien weak to Ground-type moves from Arceus-Ground and Psychic-type moves from Calyrex-S, respectively. Wo-Chien fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to check Calyrex-S and Arceus-Ground, while offering good recovery via Leech Seed to teammates. Wo-Chien benefits from teammates such as Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Landorus-T, which check Koraidon and Zacian-C for it. Special attackers in Arceus-Fairy, Substitute Kyogre, and Eternatus trouble Wo-Chien, so offensive checks to them such as Zacian-C, Choice Scarf Koraidon, Arceus, and Calyrex-S are appreciated. Water Absorb Closdire as a defensive teammate checks Arceus-Fairy, Kyogre, and Eternatus while setting up hazards.

Wo-Chien @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots Boots is kinda nice but is it really worth mentioning in the analysis?
Ability: Tablets of Ruin
Tera Type: Poison / Water Is water really worth mentioning? Poison is far better on average.
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Leech Seed
- Foul Play / Ruination Ruination should be first slash
- Knock Off / Taunt I don't think you should be dropping Knock Off except under very specific circumstances, move it to be slashed in slot 2 or remove it.
- Protect / Taunt

[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to Tablets of Ruge Ruin, its outrageous bulk Outrageous? Definitely an overstatement, dial it back a bit, and its movepool, Wo-Chien cements itself as a great defensive utility Pokemon another overstatement, it's pretty good but still niche, while checking invaluable threats in the metagame such as Calyrex-S, Arceus-Ground, and Arceus Kyogre, while also soft checking Pokemon like Miraidon This entire sentence feels a bit confused. Maybe something like "Wo-Chien's unique typing and movepool, backed by its high Tablets of Ruin-boosted bulk grants it a solid place in the metagame, checking threats like..." would work better. Leech Seed helps Wo-Chien to regain its health, unnecessary info, we know what Leech Seed does, change the rest of the sentence accordingly allowing it more longevity throughout the game and trouble defensive cores such as Ting-Lu and Landorus-T I think you could just say something like "reduces passivity." You should probably mention Leech Seed being able to heal teammates. Foul Play is the main median of hitting through physical attackers, notably hits physical attackers like Arceus, (RC) and Dragon Dance Arceus Ground, (RC) and Zacian-C you barely do 25% without Intrepid Sword boost. Maybe you could say something about chunking Koraidon and Zacian-C. Ruination is a steadier an alternative that reduces Wo-Chien's passivity and hits defensive staples such as Ting-Lu, Landorus-T, and Giratina-O I think mentioning Arc forms, especially Fairy, is more important than Landorus-T and Giratina-O. Also, as I said at the start, I think Ruination should be first slash anyway, in which case re-write accordingly. Knock Off instead It's the first slash offers good offensive utility against foes like Landorus-T, Ting-Lu and Toxapex I feel like this is kind of redundant information, you could instead mention how Knock Off is rare so it gives Wo-Chien more of a niche. Alternatively, Taunt shuts down setup and entry hazards Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Arceus formes. Tera Poison gives Wo-Chien an invaluable immunity to Toxic from the likes of Clodsire, Toxapex, and Eternatus, and lets it absorb tedious Toxic Spikes You're overplaying this a bit, it's not nearly as important as the resistances, while also resisting Koraidon's Low Kick and Arceus-Fairy's Judgment, (RC) allowing Wo-Chien to heal with Leech Seed on the aforementioned foes mention the resistances before the poison immunity, it's much more valuable. Also mention resisting Play Rough from Zacian-C and various U-turns, maybe double dance Miraidon's Dazzling Gleam too. Tera Water instead allows Wo-Chien to resist key attacks such as Koraidon's Flare Blitz, Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Kyogre's Water STABs and Ice Beam Tera Water really isn't worth mentioning. Leftovers is the preferred choice of item, since it gives Wo-Chien good recovery when paired with Leech Seed. Alternatively, Heavy-Duty Boots can be ran to ignore the effect of entry hazards, while providing Wo-Chien with better longevity throughout the game this and the prior sentence are very obvious in what they say, probably just cut them, especially if you remove Boots from the list of items (you should). Wo-Chien struggles with physical attackers such as Koraidon and Zacian-C, so checks to them such as Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Landorus-T are appreciated crucial. Special attackers in Arceus-Fairy and Kyogre trouble Wo-Chien, so offensive checks to them such as Zacian-C, Choice Scarf Koraidon, Arceus, and Calyrex-S are appreciated Kyogre is not really an issue for Wo-Chien, just change the sentence to focus entirely on Arceus-Fairy.
You need to mention how Wo-Chien is primarily used on balance and why
Overall fine, we can discuss any changes I suggested if you want.

Knock Off instead offers good offensive utility against foes like Landorus-T, Ting-Lu and Toxapex.(mention the downsides of knock, aka arc formes are everywhere and can absorb knock) Alternatively, Taunt shuts down setup and entry hazards Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Arceus formes.(i think you should specify "on the switch" for arc formes, since you're obviously slower) Tera Poison gives Wo-Chien an invaluable immunity to Toxic from the likes of Clodsire, Toxapex, and Eternatus, and lets it absorb tedious Toxic Spikes, while also resisting Koraidon's Low Kick and Arceus-Fairy's Judgment, allowing Wo-Chien to heal with Leech Seed on the aforementioned foes.(talk about the downsides. aka weak to psychic and ground types, caly and groundceus respectively. however I'd add a small comment about how foul play can annoy physical groundceus) Tera Water instead allows Wo-Chien to resist key attacks such as Koraidon's Flare Blitz, Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Kyogre's Water STABs and Ice Beam. Leftovers is the preferred choice of item, since it gives Wo-Chien good recovery when paired with Leech Seed.

Wo-Chien’s Wo-Chien's (wrong apostrophe) unique typing and movepool, (comma) backed by its high Tablets of Ruin boosted high, Tablets of Ruin-boosted bulk grants it a solid place in the metagam metagame, checking threats such as Calyrex-S, Arceus-Ground, and Kyogre. Leech Seed reduces Wo-Chien’s Wo-Chien's passivity, (comma) while allowing teammates to heal after switching in. Ruination reduces Wo-Chien’s passivity, while hitting hits foes like Arceus-Fairy, Ting-Lu, and Giratina-O. Foul Play is a stronger alternative that hits against physical attackers like Arceus and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, (comma) while doing that also does a decent chunk of damage to Koraidon and Zacian-C. Foul Play reduces Wo-Chien’s passivity, actually allowing it punish taunt physical attackers. Zacian-C and allows Wo-Chien to punish physical attackers that have Taunt. Knock Off gives Wo-Chien more of a niche due to relevant Pokemon that learn it being rare, while offering good utility and it is useful against foes like Ting-Lu and Landorus-T. One downside of Knock Off is that Arceus-formes are quite omnipresent in the meta, which absorb Knock Off. However, Arceus formes, which can absorb Knock Off without losing their items, are quite omnipresent. Protect lets Wo-Chien safely rack up Leftovers and Leech Seed recovery. (I'd mention Protect, as it's slashed) Alternatively, Taunt shuts down setup and entry hazards hazard Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Arceus formes and Ting-Lu on the switch. (move the Taunt sentence to after the Foul Play mention; Taunt is first slashed in the second moveslot) Tera Poison gives Wo-Chien key resistances from to attacks like Koraidon’s Koraidon's Low Kick, Zacian-C’s Zacian-C's Play Rough, Double Dance Miraidon’s Miraidon's Dazzling Gleam, and the omnipresent U-turn from foes like Landorus-T, Koraidon, and Miraidon, (comma) while also offering an immunity to Toxic and letting Wo-Chien absorbing Toxic Spikes. However, Tera Poison also makes Wo-Chien weak to Ground-type moves from Arceus-Ground and Psychic-type moves from Calyrex-S, (comma) respectively. Wo-Chien fits best on balance and bulky offense teams which that appreciate its ability to check Calyrex-S and Arceus-Ground, (comma) while offering good recovery via Leech Seed to teammates. Wo-Chien struggles with Koraidon and Zacian-C, so checks to them such as Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Landorus-T are appreciated. (you could optionally reword this to something like "Wo-Chien benefits from teammates such as Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Landorus-T, which check Koraidon and Zacian-C for it." to avoid using the same sentence structure twice in a row) Special attackers in Arceus-Fairy, Substitute Kyogre, (comma) and Eternatus (double space) trouble Wo-Chien, so offensive checks to them such as Zacian-C, Choice Scarf Koraidon, Arceus, and Calyrex-S are appreciated. Water Absorb Closdire as a defensive teammate checks Arceus-Fairy, Kyogre, and Eternatus while setting up hazards.
