[SET COMMENTS]
Solgaleo stands out as a powerful sweeper that can take over games with its great stats, movepool, and set variance. Psychic hits Great Tusk, Urshifu-R, as well as Galarian Zapdos. Flash Cannon hits Arceus-Fairy, Garganacl, and Iron Boulder, while Thunderbolt allows it to hit Samurott-Hisui, Mandibuzz, and Corviknight. Meanwhile, Flamethrower also allows it to hit Corviknight as well as opposing Solgaleo and Magearna. Agility allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame after one boost, while Morning Sun can change it into a more defensive sweeper, letting it set up more easily on passive pokemon such as Blissey and Corviknight. Cameruptite allows Solgaleo to boost its power, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon it can't or change some rolls on Pokemon such as Regieleki, Corviknight, and Dragonite. Solgaleo is troubled by common special tanks like Blissey and Ho-Oh, so teammates such as Urshifu-R, Barraskewda, and Iron Boulder are appreciated as they help pressure said walls. Solgaleo also enjoys the presence of common hazard setters such as Hisuian Samurott, as well as screen setters like Deoxys-Speed as they help it chip opponents and find more opportunities to set up.

Solgaleo stands out as a powerful special sweeper that can take over games with its great stats, movepool, and variance allowing it to take over games Removing repetition. Agility can be used to boost your speed Elaborate on this, what thresholds does it reach, what does it outspeed?, while Morning Sun can change it into a more defensive sweeper capable of healing off damage Same here, elaborate on what Matchups become easier with Morning Sun. Thunderbolt allows it to hit Samurott-Hisui and Corviknight Mention Mandibuzz as well when you rewrite it while Flamethrower also allows it to hit Corviknight as well as opposing Solgaleo and Magearna. Meanwhile, Flash Cannon hits Arceus-Fairy, Garganacl, and Iron Boulder, while Psyshock hits Great Tusk, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike as well as Galarian Zapdos Rewrite the moves section to reflect the correct set; remember to mention moves in the order listed in the set as well. Cameruptite allows Solgaleo to boost its damage, as well as potentially boosting the power of Flamethrower This sentence is kinda just... there? I'd maybe mention what the extra power allows Solgaleo to do. Common teammates that help Solgaleo's presence are Blue Orb Barraskewda, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, and Iron Boulder Urshifu-R, Barraskewda, and Iron Boulder Blue Orb Barraskewda isn't real, you also don't need to mention mega stones unless it's needed for clarity because Solgaleo is walled by common special tanks like Blissey, and Ho-Oh. Some teammates that benefit from Solgaleos presence are allies that can switch into its own checks like Venusaurite Corviknight, Eternatus and Latiasite Pokemon. This sentence is frankly very unclear. Is it that Corviknight & others can switch into Solgaleo's checks or is it that Solgaleo want allies that can switch into your examples? I'd just remove it and instead mention that Solgaleo appreciates hazard setters and maybe screens, as it lets Solgaleo nab kills easier / gives it more setup opportunities

Solgaleo stands out as a powerful special sweeper that can take over games with its great stats, movepool, and set variance. Agility allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame after one boost, while Morning Sun can change it into a more defensive sweeper capable of healing off damage while setting , letting it set up more easily on more passive pokemon Such as...?. Flash Cannon hits Arceus-Fairy, Garganacl, and Iron Boulder, while Thunderbolt allows it to hit Samurott-Hisui, Mandibuzz, and Corviknight. Meanwhile, Flamethrower also allows it to hit Corviknight as well as opposing Solgaleo and Magearna. Cameruptite allows Solgaleo to boost its damage, as well as potentially boosting the power of Flamethrower to change some Pokemon to OHKO's This is way too vague, what thresholds does it reach exactly? Also it boosts all your moves, not just Flamethrower. Common teammates that help Solgaleo's presence are Urshifu-R, Barraskewda, and Iron Boulder because Solgaleo is walled by common special tanks like Blissey, and Ho-Oh This sentence reads weirdly, maybe restructure it to say something along the lines of "Solgaleo is troubled by x, y, and z, so teammates such as x, y, and z are appreciated as they help pressure said walls" or something like that, you need to mention why they are good teammates, not that they just exist.. Solgaleo also enjoys the presence of common hazard setters such as Hisuian Samurott, as well as screen setters like Deoxys-Speed Again, you need to explain why Solgaleo appreciates these teammates, not just that it enjoys having them as teammates.

You also need to change the order in which you talk about the moves; STABs should be explained first, followed by coverage moves, and lastly, other moves. Also you forgot to mention Psychic in the analysis, since its slashed it should be mentioned.

Hmm, this still looks messy, but I'll give you one more chance. Implement these and ping me again when you're done

Hello genisu,

The MnM QC team has asked me to QC reject this analysis. Even after two QC checks, it still has numerous issues:

• Virtually the entire analysis is dex info, basically stuff you can read from a type chart
• The examples are poor; for example, you mention Morning Sun lets it set up on Corv, when all variants set up on Corv just fine
• It's missing several key examples of checks like Dark-types and Lunala
• The teammates / team role / how to play it are almost non-existent

Ultimately this analysis shows very little understanding of the metagame, even after getting feedback twice. Give this is your third attempt reserving an OM analysis and none of them have made it to QC approved, we are going to ask you to stop reserving OM analyses until you have had some time to familiarize yourself with one or more of the metas.
