[SET COMMENTS]
Huge Power and a great typing make Mega Mawile a ruthless breaker, being able to set up on common metagame staples like Galarian Slowking, Mega Tyranitar, and Iron Crown. Sucker Punch is a very useful priority move that can easily clean up weakened teams, as well as threatening an OHKO on Ogerpon-W and Mega Medicham when boosted and Knock Off provides coverage against Fairy-type resists Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Heatran, Toxapex, Iron Crown, and Galarian Slowking, while also crippling them and hitting the latter two for super effective damage. The given EV spread outruns uninvested Mega Scizor. Mega Mawile has an awful speed tier, so Choice Scarf users such as Tapu Lele and Darkrai are appreciated. Despite its great typing and good bulk, it struggles to find an opportunity to set up, so pivoting from Tornadus-T, Alomomola, and Galarian Slowking is appreciated. Mega Mawile can be easily worn down, especially by entry hazards, so Great Tusk, Zapdos, and Corviknight are key to Mega Mawile's sucess.

All-out Attacker Mega Mawile is a threatening breaker thanks to its wide coverage, threatening common defensive Pokemon like Mega Scizor, Landorus-T, and Toxapexs. All-out Attacker also has a big surprise factor, as it can be used against foes like Mega Scizor and Landorus-T who prey on the Swords Dance set. Ice Punch threatens Landorus-T and Gliscor. Thunder Punch covers for Alomomola, Slowbro, and Toxapex, while the last moveslot is very customizable. Fire Fang threatens Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, but Knock Off can be used to targets of their item, while also providing Mega Mawile neutral coverage against Fairy-resistant foes like Heatran and Toxapex, although it makes breaking Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn difficult. Focus Punch, although extremely prediction-reliant, can be used to break through the aforementioned Steel-types, as well as beat Iron Defense Skarmory and hit Heatran. The given EV spread allows Mega Mawile to outspeed uninvested Mega Scizor. Mega Mawile cannot break through faster foes late-game, so Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Urshifu are beneficial. Despite Mega Mawile's amazing coverage, it cannot run everything it wants to, so other attackers like Weavile and Volcarona are appreciated to clean up walls that Mega Mawile would struggle with like Mega Scizor and Galarian Slowking.

Huge Power, a stellar <- would advise changing this cos tera stellar is now a typing, i know this is a mega but still i got thrown off for a second myself typing, and its plethora of coverage make Mega Mawile a ruthless breaker, threatening common metagame staples like Galarian Slowking, Mega Tyranitar, and Iron Crown. Sucker Punch threatens an OHKO on faster threats like Ogerpon-W, Mega Medicham, and Kartana Mega Medicham and Volcarona waterpon is a roll and kart isnt even close, volc isnt the best example honestly but remember to calc em yourself when boosted, and Knock Off provides neutral coverage against Fairy-type resists Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Garganacl, and Toxapex, while also crippling them. need to mention how it smashes glowking and crown, you mentioned it at the start but just restate here is nice The given EV spread outruns uninvested Mega Scizor and an Adamant Nature along with Max Attack maximizes Mega Mawile's Attack stat no need. Mega Mawile is a good check to Weavile and Mega Latias can def put more examples here cos mmaws typing really is a selling point, stuff like lele torn maybe, so Pokemon that struggle with them, like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Great Tusk are beneficial. <- wording is really odd, why would them having problems with aforementioned mons be a good quality when pairing with mmaw? this section is on good teammates for mmaw rather than mmaw being good teammates for what, so reword accordingly All three aforementioned Pokemon provide a form of entry hazard removal, a big obstacle for Mega Mawile. spikes really arent that big of a problem and sr most definitely isnt, this section should be on stuff that help it out offensively since its dead slow, think scarfers that help vs rkillers etc since spunch is always a 50/50 Despite its great typing and good bulk, it struggles to find an opportunity to set up, so pivoting from Tornadus-T, Alomomola, and Galarian Slowking is appreciated.

All-out Attacker Mega Mawile is a threatening breaker thanks to its wide coverage and high attack stat, threatening common defensive Pokemon like Mega Scizor, Landorus-T, and Toxapex, while forcing switches. mention how people are so used to the other set that they put msciz and etc in front of this thing as a "check", surprise factor is an impt part of this set Play Rough hits Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Kyurem, while Ice Punch threatens Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Gliscor. Thunder Punch covers for Alomomola, Corviknight if ur a corv hater this can be skarm, and Toxapex, while the last moveslot is very customizable. Fire Fang threatens Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, but Knock Off can be used to cripple defensive staples like Garganacl and Rotom-W of their item, although the matchup into Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn is shaky remember to talk about the stuff from the prev section here too about being neutral vs lots of stuff. Focus Punch, although prediction-reliant, can be used to break through the aforementioned Steel-types, as well as threaten Iron Defense Skarmory and Heatran. Mega Mawile has a pitiful speed tier, so speed control from the likes of Iron Boulder and Tapu Lele are greatly appreciated. <- something like this would be nice on the prev section Despite Mega Mawile's amazing coverage, it cannot run everything it wants to, so other attackers like Gouging Fire and Urshifu-R are appreciated to clean up walls that Mega Mawile would struggle with like? examples here.

Huge Power, a great typing, and its plethora of coverage this set literally only uses fairy stab and dark moves lol. make Mega Mawile a ruthless breaker, threatening common metagame staples like Galarian Slowking, Mega Tyranitar, and Iron Crown i would reword this line to maybe highlight swords dance more as it is a key part that is completely missed in this write up. Sucker Punch threatens an OHKO on faster threats like Mega Medicham and Volcarona when boosted um, really random examples lol, and is written like sucker is just another coverage move. please emphasise that sucker (as a priority move) makes up for mawiles poor speed tier and lets it sweep weakened teams mainly, that is literally the main reason you run it. and Knock Off provides neutral coverage against Fairy-type resists Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Garganacl Heatrangarganacl does not resist fairy, and Toxapex, while also crippling them. Knock Off also destroys speciall walls like Iron Crown and Galarian Slowking. what ??? why is this a seperate line, are these not also fairy type resists? why is special walls relevant to mega mawile, arguably the premier physical attacker in the tier lol The given EV spread outruns uninvested Mega Scizor. Mega Mawile's typing makes it a good check to Weavile, Mega Latias, Tapu Lele, and Tornadus. so Pokemon that struggle with them, like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Great Tusk enjoy Mega Mawile's presence. it is not a “good” check to any of these, bar maybe idk mega latias lol, its a soft check to them at best and it requires teammates to help deal with them defensively. Mega Mawile has an awful speed tier, so speed control such as Darkrai and Weavile are appreciated. neither of these are speed control Despite its great typing and good bulk, it struggles to find an opportunity to set up, so pivoting from Tornadus-T, Alomomola, and Galarian Slowking is appreciated. please add a sentence on hazards, it appreciates hazards to wear stuff down especially after they get knocked

All-out Attacker Mega Mawile is a threatening breaker thanks to its wide coverage, threatening common defensive Pokemon like Mega Scizor, Landorus-T, and Toxapex, while forcing switches. All-out Attacker also ahs has a big surprise factor, as it can be used against foes like Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn Landorus-T Ferrothorn dies to +2 Knock Off after some minor chip who prey on the Swords Dance set. Ice Punch threatens Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Gliscor. Thunder Punch covers for Alomomola, Skarmory Slowbro you do not beat Skarmory, and Toxapex, while the last moveslot is very customizable. Fire Fang threatens Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, but Knock Off can be used to cripple defensive staples like Garganacl and Rotom-W of their item ?? what, why would you want to “cripple” garganacl by removing its item when you can 2hko it with play rough. same with rotom lol, you literally do 64-76 to it with pr lol., while also providing Mega Mawile neutral coverage against Fairy-resistant foes its literally gking, it crippling other things is a secondary point, and please word it vaguely since there is no specific target, just that knock off almost always will punish a switch in, and it makes guessing games easier, although it makes breaking the matchup into Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn hard is shaky. Focus Punch, although extremely prediction-reliant, can be used to break through the aforementioned Steel-types, as well as threaten beat Iron Defense Skarmory and hit Heatran. The given EV spread allows Mega Mawile to outspeed uninvested Mega Scizor. Mega Mawile has a pitiful speed tier, so speed control from the likes of Iron Boulder and Tapu Lele are greatly appreciated. please reword this into pairing mawile up with cleaners like scarf lele and shifu, who appreciate maw punching holes in teams for it. boulder will never be paired with aoa mawile, and even mawile itself is a hard stretch. it is solely a ho mon, which aoa maw will never be on. saying mawile has a “pitiful speed tier” doesnt explain why it appreciates good fadt cleaners as teammates, ie toxapex has a “low speed tier” and doesnt mind not being paired with scarf kart. you have to mention what its low speed entails, aka it can break well but is unable to clean in the late game, Despite Mega Mawile's amazing coverage, it cannot run everything it wants to, so other attackers like Gouging Fire and Urshifu-R are appreciated to clean up walls that Mega Mawile would struggle with like Mega Scizor and Galarian Slowking. um. these r some random examples. shifu will already be in the cleaners part so maybe something like weavile lol to remove gking, gouging is quite a specific mention, maybe just volc instead?

Huge Power and a great typing make Mega Mawile a ruthless breaker, being able to set up on common metagame staples like Galarian Slowking, Mega Tyranitar, and Iron Crown. Swords dance isn't mentioned at all? ex. Swords Dance further skyrockets its Attack, OHKOing defensive staples such as Alomomola and Gliscor while allowing it to muscle through Ferrothorn and Toxapex after a boost. Sucker Punch is a very useful priority move that can easily clean up weakened teams while acting as a pseudo-revenge killing option against the likes of Iron Boulder and Volcarona. In addition, it threatens as well as threatening an OHKO on Ogerpon-W and Mega Medicham when boosted very vague sentence that doesnt fully grasp how important this move is the myriad of faster revenge killers such as Ogerpon-W and Mega Medicham, preventing them from freely retaining momentum after a KO. and Knock Off provides coverage against Fairy-type resistances resists Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Heatran, Toxapex, Iron Crown, and Galarian Slowking, while also crippling them and hitting the latter two for super effective damage. The given EV spread outruns uninvested Mega Scizor. mention why intimidate is the ability ex. Intimidate is the preferred pre-mega ability to allow Mawile to better sponge attacks from the likes of Weavile and Hisuian Samurott as it enters the field. Mega Mawile has an awful speed tier, so Choice Scarf users such as tapu lele is antisynergy bc terrain blocks sucker, scarf rai is very niche Tapu Lele and Darkrai Landorus-T and Hisuian Samurott are appreciated. Despite its great typing and good bulk, it struggles to find an opportunity to set up, so I think this sentence does not encapsulate the nuances of maw Mega Mawile needs to stay in pristine condition against defensive teams, lest it sustain unnecessary chip damage from the likes of Alomomola, Clefable, and Tornadus-T that pushes it into range of the omnipresent Gliscor's Earthquake. Similarly, aggressive offense teams highly limit the opportunities for Mega Mawile to enter the field. Thus, pivoting from Tornadus-T, Alomomola, and Galarian Slowking, and the former Choice Scarf users is appreciated near essential. Mega Mawile can be easily worn down, especially by entry hazards, Entry hazards, especially Spikes, further limit Mega Mawile's longevity so Great Tusk, Zapdos, and Corviknight i have not seen corvmaw ever Tornadus-T are key to Mega Mawile's sucess. mention how maw can be held back against skarm and volc (and maybe also sciz to a lesser extent) so hazards are useful to push them into range especially vs volc

All-out Attacker Mega Mawile is a threatening wallbreaker thanks to its wide coverage, finding entry against and threatening common defensive Pokemon like Clefable, Slowking-Galar, and Tornadus-T. Mega Scizor, Landorus-T, and Toxapexs you will mention these later when describing moves, best to mention what it actually comes in on. All-out Attacker also has a big surprise factor, as it can be used against foes like Mega Scizor and Landorus-T who prey on the Swords Dance set. Ice Punch threatens catches Landorus-T and Gliscor as they switch in you do not threaten lando and glisc they threaten u. Thunder Punch covers for Alomomola, Slowbro, and move these back bc play rough has very good odds to 2hko them anws Toxapex and forces Skarmory to Roost, rendering it exploitable, while also securing the 2HKO against Alomomola and Slowbro, while the last moveslot is very customizable. Fire Fang threatens Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, but Knock Off can be used to strip targets such as Volcarona and Heatran of their item, while also providing Mega Mawile strong neutral coverage against Fairy-resistant foes like Heatran and OHKOing Galarian Slowking Toxapex, although it makes breaking Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn difficult. Focus Punch, although extremely prediction-reliant, can be used to break through the aforementioned Steel-types, as well as beat Iron Defense Skarmory by slamming it as it Roosts and hit OHKO Heatran. The given EV spread allows Mega Mawile to outspeed uninvested Mega Scizor. copy paste the intimidate sentence here All-out Attacker Mega Mawile has incredible value early-mid game, as it can be played more recklessly due to relying on coverage rather than Swords Dance boosts to force KOs. However, the absence of Sucker Punch means it cannot break through clean up faster foes late-game, so Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Urshifu are beneficial make for good teammates that fulfill this role. The aforementioned Tapu Lele, as well as Galarian Slowking, provide Future Sight support to minimise need for prediction against foes like Toxapex, while Galarian Slowking also provides Mega Mawile with a slow pivot. Despite Mega Mawile's amazing coverage, it cannot run everything it wants to, so other attackers like Weavile and Volcarona are appreciated to clean up walls that Mega Mawile would struggle with like Mega Scizor and Galarian Slowking, with Weavile eliminating the latter with Pursuit.

After further discussion, we've decided to reject this analysis in its current state disregarding the outstanding QC checks posted. It would take a substantial amount of work beyond implementing the proposed edits for both parties involved that we agreed wasn't exactly ideal.

I'll be locking this thread as such; once you garner more experience in the tier, you can reserve an analysis in the future. Thanks for what you've done so far, and sorry for the trouble.
