Thanks for the comments, tehy. You make good points for the most part

It means how it reads. I'm not trying to advocate using Salamence, I'm trying to give the reader an accurate depiction of its effectiveness in OU. Salamence really can't get past bulky fairies even when boosted, so i am trying not to sugar coat it.Comments:
'Salamence often cannot defeat its checks even at +1 or +2' (Set Details, in regards to moxie
What the crap does this sentence mean? Seriously, this is a problem-this is the kind of sentence that would make me not use a Pokemon. Please, rewrite this and clarify what you meant to say.
good call, i've clarified thatThe actual reason to use Fire Fang is that it's boosted by DD and mence's EVs, although accuracy and flinch are nice (Fire blast has a 10% burn chance too), so you might want to mention that.
well, i said "defensive" teams, not stall teams, although i suppose it is a bit ambiguous. i'll clarify it to "balanced teams"Are you sure Moxie is for stall teams, as opposed to just bulkier teams in general? I would think stall can either stop you as you DD or not at all.
fair point, addedYou could give a nod to other fairy-types, mainly Clefable (unaware especially) and Sylveon/Florges.
You're right, i'll move the Defiant mention to the usage tips where i talk about Intimidate. I'll keep bisharp in the C&C section though, as LO sucker punch does 66-78%. I've clarified the Scizor and Talonflame mention, too.Bisharp liking intimidate is a cool usage tip, but it liking intimidate isn't relevant as a counter, since that would imply you switch into it. I guess its sucker punch could still be relevant, but it gets trashed by your coverage moves anyhow, so i'm not sure if that's mention-worthy, plus you should probably explain that it gives it an overall +1 attack. Also, when you say 'scizor and Talonflame can KO with a bit of prior damage', is SR enough? Mention it either way, please.
I have Hippo under the physical wall sectionHippowdon isn't only a special wall, although to be fair its usage in this gen says otherwise. Idk, consider specifying Phys.D hippo;you'd have to possibly separate it and landorus-t in the second mention of it, since writing 'physically defensive' in front of Hippowdon might make the reader think that only Phys.D landorus-t can wall Salamence. But then again, maybe they should be thinking that anyways.
yes i do mean that, i've clarified it a bitThe way you explain its partners are kind of weird. You mean, partners whose checks are weakened by salamence and weaken salamence's checks?
Thanks! implementedGP CHECK
