[SET COMMENTS]
Shelgon's decent bulk combined Eviolite with its useful defensive typing, being one of the few viable Dragon-types in the tier, allows it to set up relatively safely against most of the metagame, making it one of BW ZU's most threatening wallbreakers and sweepers. Outrage is extremely powerful at +1, 2HKOing even the bulkiest of threats such as defensive Pelipper and Frillish. Brick Break provides coverage against Steel-types such as Pawniard and Lairon. Fire Fang targets Wormadam-S hard and is a safer option than Outrage against Grass-types like Leafeon and Meganium. Dragon Claw can be opted for instead in the fourth slot, losing out on coverage against Wormadam-S in exchange for a safer and more spammable STAB option. An Adamant nature is generally preferred, boosting Shelgon's offensive capabilities to their highest potential while still allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as Arbok and non-Choice Scarf Grumpig at +1; however, Jolly gives it the ability to outpace threats such as Swords Dance Leafeon and Raticate after a Dragon Dance.

Shelgon fits best on offensive teams needing a reliable endgame sweeper and cleaner. Its primary weaknesses are it struggling to reliably muscle through walls such as Solrock and Clefairy and its capacity to have its wallbreaking potential limited if it gets statused. An excellent partner is Simisear; it helps threaten out Pokemon such as Wormadam-S and Lairon, and in return Shelgon can take out Pokemon such as specially defensive Clefairy and Frillish. Knock Off users such as Persian and Pelipper can help weaken walls that rely on Eviolite to check Shelgon such as physically defensive Clefairy and Frillish; both also act as pivots to give Shelgon a safe switch-in to the battlefield. Other physical wallbreakers such as Muk, Pawniard, and Leafeon are good options as partners, as they and Shelgon can wear down their shared checks. Other setup sweepers like Lairon, Grumpig, and Arbok also appreciate Shelgon luring in Choice Scarf revenge killers such as Kingler and Mienfoo they can set up against. On hyper offense teams, dual screens support from Pokemon like Solrock can help Shelgon set up more safely.

Shelgon finds a place in the metagame as one of BW ZU's few viable Dragon-types. Its decent bulk, with combined with its useful defensive typing and Eviolite allows Shelgon to setup relatively safely into most of the metagame, making it one of BW ZU's most threatening wallbreakers and sweepers. Outrage is extremely powerful at +1, allowing Shelgon to 2HKO even the bulkiest of threats such as Defensive Pelipper and Frillish. Brick Break gives coverage into Pokemon who otherwise wall or set up on Shelgon such as Lairon. Fire Fang targets other walls such Wormadam-S and cleric Leafeon for good damage. Dragon Claw can be opted for instead in the fourth slot, losing out on coverage in exchange for a safer and more spammable STAB option for Shelgon. While an Adamant nature is generally preferred, boosting Shelgon's offensive capabilities to its highest while still allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as Arbok and Choice Scarf-less Grumpig at +1, Jolly gives the ability to outpace threats such as Pikachu, Swords Dance Leafeon, and Raticate after a Dragon Dance.

Shelgon's primary weaknesses is it struggling to reliably muscle through walls such as Solrock Wormadam-S and Clefairy and its ability to have its wallbreaking potential limited if it gets statused. Shelgon can break through wormadam quite easily with a fire fang, but physdef clef and Solrock threaten debilitating status. An excellent partner is Simisear; it helps threaten out Pokemon such as Wormadam-S and Lairon, and in return Shelgon can take out Pokemon such as Specially Defensive Clefairy and Frillish for Simisear. Knock Off users such as Persian and Pelipper can help weaken walls that rely on Eviolite to check Shelgon such as Physically Defensive Clefairy and Staryu; both also act as pivots to give Shelgon a safe switchin to the battlefield. Clerics such as Leafeon and Clefairy are helpful keeping Shelgon healthy via Wish and Heal Bell. Other Physical wallbreakers such as Muk, Pawniard, and Leafeon are options as partners, allowing them and Shelgon to wear down their shared checks. Your last sentence had the right idea, but I would include setup sweepers that appreciate setting up on scarfed revenge killers such as Kingler Mienfoo or whatever, since Shelgon will primarily be used on very offensive teams. Lairon, Grumpig, Arbok could be good examples.

Its decent bulk, with combined with its useful defensive typing and Eviolite allows Shelgon to setup relatively safely into most of the metagame, making it one of BW ZU's most threatening wallbreakers and sweepers. You should combine the first sentence with the second, as "useful defensive typing" already mostly covers the relevant information of the first sentence, and its role as a setup sweeper is way more relevant. Something like "combined with its unique defensive typing as one of the tier's few Dragon-types" works Outrage is extremely powerful at +1, allowing Shelgon to 2HKO even the bulkiest of threats such as Defensive Pelipper and Frillish. Brick Break gives coverage into Pokemon who that otherwise wall or set up on Shelgon such as Lairon. Mention that it hits Steel-types. Also mention Pawniard as an important target Fire Fang targets other walls such as Wormadam-S and cleric Leafeon for good damage. Outrage does more damage to neutral targets. Mention that it hits Wormadam-S hard and then state that it's a safer option than Outrage to hit foes such as Grass-types Dragon Claw can be opted for instead in the fourth slot, losing out on coverage against Wormadam-S in exchange for a safer and more spammable STAB option for Shelgon. While an Adamant nature is generally preferred, boosting Shelgon's offensive capabilities to its highest while still allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as Arbok and Choice Scarf-less Grumpig at +1, Jolly gives the ability to outpace threats such as Pikachu, Swords Dance Leafeon, and Raticate after a Dragon Dance. Pikachu doesn't run +Speed and it has priority anyways. Replace it with a more relevant example

Shelgon's primary weaknesses is it struggling to reliably muscle through walls such as Solrock and Clefairy and its ability to have its wallbreaking potential limited if it gets statused. An excellent partner is Simisear; it helps threaten out Pokemon such as Wormadam-S and Lairon, and in return Shelgon can take out Pokemon such as Specially Defensive Clefairy and Frillish for Simisear.

Clerics such as Leafeon and Clefairy are helpful for keeping Shelgon healthy via Wish and Heal Bell. You aren't seeing this on most offenses. Mention Healing Wish support from teammates like Scarf or Dual Screens Mr. Mime and Clefairy Other Physical physical wallbreakers such as Muk, Pawniard, and Leafeon are options as partners, allowing them and Shelgon to wear down their shared checks. Other setup sweepers like Lairon, Grumpig, and Arbok also appreciate Shelgon bringing in Choice Scarfed revenge killers such as Kingler or Mienfoo to set up for themselves.

Shelgon's decent bulk combined with its useful defensive typing, being one of the few viable Dragon-types in the tier (cut this because sentence doesn't flow well; could do an additional sentence following this mentioning it's one of the few viable Dragon-types in the tier if you feel it's particularly important) and Eviolite allows Shelgon it to set (AS) up relatively safely into against most of the metagame, making it one of BW ZU's most threatening wallbreakers and sweepers. Outrage is extremely powerful at +1, allowing Shelgon to 2HKO even the bulkiest of threats such as Defensive defensive Pelipper and Frillish. Brick Break gives coverage into for Pokemon that otherwise wall or set up on against Shelgon (such as?) and also notiably notably hits common Steel-types such as Lairon and Pawniard. Fire Fang targets other walls such as Wormadam-S hard and is a safer option than Outrage against Grass-types like Leafeon and Meganium (because you don't lock into the move if they have Steel-types in the back?). Alternatively, Dragon Claw can be opted for instead of Fire Fang in the fourth slot, causing Shelgon to lose losing out on coverage against Wormadam-S in exchange for a safer and more spammable STAB option. While an An Adamant nature is generally preferred, boosting Shelgon's offensive capabilities to its their highest potential while still allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as Arbok and Choice Scarf-less Grumpig without Choice Scarf at +1; (ASC) , (RC) however, a Jolly nature gives Shelgon the ability to outpace threats such as Swords Dance Leafeon and Raticate after a Dragon Dance.

Shelgon fits best on offensive teams. Shelgon's primary weaknesses is are it struggling to reliably muscle through walls such as Solrock and Clefairy and its ability capacity to have its wallbreaking potential limited if it gets statused.

Other physical wallbreakers such as Muk, Pawniard, and Leafeon are (good?) options as partners, allowing them as they and Shelgon to can wear down their shared checks. Other setup sweepers like Lairon, Grumpig, and Arbok also appreciate Shelgon bringing in Choice Scarfed revenge killers such as Kingler or Mienfoo to set up for themselves (confusing sentence; who is setting up here? "Shelgon bringing in" almost makes it sounds like Shelgon is pivoting in Choice Scarf users, which it surely isn't). On hyper-offense (RH) teams, dual screens support from Pokemon like Solrock can help Shelgon set up more safely.

- If a clause feels like it interrupts a sentence too much, moving it to the end can help.
- I've been recommended to use a comment color other than green, as green may by interpreted as an addition color or confuse color blind writers.
- "set up on" is a valid phrase.
- Why Outrage isn't a safe move should be pretty self-explanatory.
- Adding "Alternatively," to the Dragon Claw sentence was pretty redundant, as it also includes "instead."
- You don't need to specify Shelgon is the one losing out on coverage; it's already implied, as its moves are being talked about.
- Just referring to "a Jolly nature" as "Jolly" is fine.
- "x and y" is plural, while "x or y" is singular, so because "revenge killers" is plural, it should be "and" in the sentence "Choice Scarf revenge killers such as Kingler or Mienfoo."
- Great job overall!
