DP Leafeon .

The analysis currently has Leafeon's counters in OU, but none of its UU counters, rather relevant since it's been moved to the UU tier.

[Counters]

<p> Drapion can come in easily on any of his attacks and hit him with STAB Poison attacks and can also Whirlwind away any Swords Dance boosts. Muk can work in a similar manner using Haze. </p>

<p> Altaria can also Haze away Swords Dance boosts and 4x resists Leaf Blade. Steelix and Aggron can Roar Leafeon away, but repeated hits from Leaf Blade will take their toll. </p>

<p> Most Fire and Flying-types can stop Leafeon with relative ease, but Leafeon will often just Baton Pass to another Pokemon, though faster Pokemon and Will-o-Wisp can often negate this strategy. In general it's better to target Leafeon with special attacks, as his Special Defense is much lower than his Defense </p>

Capitalization.
 
Most Fire and Flying types can stop Leafeon with relative ease, but Leafeon will often just Baton Pass to another Pokemon.
Probably worth mentioning that against Ninetales, Rapidash, Swellow, Dodrio it has to switch due to being outsped ... also against fire types like Torkoal and Magcargo players need to beware Will-o-Wisp for the BP recipient.
 
i would point out that after a swords dance Leaf blade 2hkos steelix and aggron with max attack and a +attack nature and with a CH they get OHKOed around 80% of the time with their standard spreads and natures and the SD-BP-Roar set can just roar them out before they can roar due to having higher speed thus beating them to their roars

Made some changes to keep with the gender consistency in the actual analysis that refers to Leafeon as a male, and not "it". I fixed up some punctuation, and "Flying-types" has to have a hyphen. Nice work otherwise Cynthia.

Not bad! A few minor style things that bugged me:

<p>Drapion can come in easily on any of his attacks and hit him with STAB Super-Effective Poison attacks. (new sentence, sounds better IMO) He can also Whirlwind away any Swords Dance boosts. Muk works in a similar manner using Haze. </p>

<p> Altaria can also Haze away Swords Dance boosts and 4x resists Leaf Blade. Steelix and Aggron can Roar Leafeon away, but repeated hits from Leaf Blade will take their toll, as a Swords Dance-boosted Leaf Blade can 2HKO. (I think it's better to explain how said Leaf Blades will take their toll) </p>

<p>Most Fire and Flying - types can KO (not stop, as they aren't stopping the actual Baton Pass)Leafeon with relative ease, but he will simply Baton Pass to another Pokemon. Faster Pokemon and Will-o-Wisp can often negate this strategy. </p>

<p>In general it's better to target Leafeon with special attacks, as his Special Defense is much lower than his Defense.</p>

Chris Is Me, "Super Effective" is supposed to be 2 words, with no hyphen.
