[SET COMMENTS]
With a terrifyingly high Attack stat and access to strong STAB moves, Slither Wing stands out as a strong wallbreaker, being able to break through some of the tier's most common physical walls, including Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Quaquaval. First Impression is able to snipe common revenge killers, OHKOing the likes of Weavile, Barraskewda, and all Ogerpon formes. Flare Blitz allows Slither Wing to hit Fluffy users like Zapdos and Great Tusk as well as non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, while Earthquake hits the likes of Ceruledge, Skeledirge, and Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, which otherwise resist or are immune to its moves. Sword of Ruin allows Slither Wing to safely 2HKO Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk with Close Combat, while Tinted Lens helps it OHKO offensive Zapdos with First Impression after slight chip damage and also deal solid damage against foes that resist Bug such as Dragonite and Great Tusk. Scrappy is a niche alternative that lets Slither Wing easily OHKO Gholdengo and Gengar and still 2HKO Corviknight. Slither Wing pairs well with fast cleaners like Weavile and Barraskewda, as they can easily take over games after it has chipped down physically defensive walls like Corviknight, defensive Quaquaval, and Great Tusk. Slither Wing is fairly slow and susceptible to being OHKOed from the likes of Dragonite, Iron Moth, and Azelf, so defensive pivots like Corviknight and Manaphy are greatly appreciated, and they can also bring it in safely. Slither Wing also dislikes entry hazards, so hazard removal from the likes of Great Tusk or Corviknight is helpful, as this allows it to come in more often.

Sword of Ruin allows Slither Wing to safely 2HKO Corviknight,(RC) and defensive Great Tusk with Close Combat and defensive Kommo still a 2HKO without SoR, Tinted Lens helps both First Impression and U-turn, allowing Slither Wing to better chip down checks like defensive Zapdos and defensive Gholdengo Great Tusk i think this is awkwardly worded, saying something like "Tinted Lens lets Slither Wing better chip down common Bug-type resists like... with U-turn " would sound better and be more clear, while Scrappy is a niche alternative that lets Slither Wing easily OHKO Gholdengo and Gengar, while still 2HKOing Corviknight. Slither Wing pairs well with faster wallbreakers cleaners like Weavile and Barraskewda, as they can easily take over games after Slither Wing has chipped down the opponents defensive walls. Slither Wing is fairly slow and susceptibe susceptible to being OHKOed from the likes of Dragonite, Iron Moth and Azelf, so defensive pivots like Corviknight and Manaphy are greatly appreciated, as they can also bring in Slither Wing safely.

In my opinion: "chip" in regards to Dragonite and Great Tusk should be replaced with something along the lines of "deal sizable damage", because 248 HP Dragonite takes over half from Tinted Lens U-turn, which should surpass the definition of chip. If you want to keep the term "chip", I recommend replacing Dragonite with another Pokemon. like Dragonite and Great Tusk with U-turn, while Scrappy is a niche alternative that lets Slither Wing easily OHKO Gholdengo and Gengar, while still 2HKOing and still 2HKO cutting down repetition of "while" Corviknight. Slither Wing pairs well with fast cleaners like Weavile and Barraskewda, as they can easily take over games after Slither Wing has chipped down defensive walls like Corviknight, defensive Quaquaval, and Great Tusk. Slither Wing is fairly slow and susceptible to being OHKOed from the likes of Dragonite, Iron Moth, and Azelf, so defensive pivots like Corviknight and Manaphy are greatly appreciated, as and they can also bring in Slither Wing safely. "as" means "because" in this sentence, which means you state that Slither Wing is OHKOed offensive threats, so it appreciates defensive pivots because they also bring it in safely, into the threats it's OHKOed by. Changes to this sentence are operating under the assumption that the defensive pivots check these Pokemon and also have the added benefit of pivoting in Slither Wing. If your original wording has the correct intention, then don't replace "as" and instead remove "also". If your intention was for Slither Wing to switch out to a defensive pivot, and then they pivot it back in for First Impression, I would reword the sentence to make that more apparent. Slither Wing also dislikes entry hazards, so hazard removal from the likes of Great Tusk or Corviknight is also helpful, as it allows Slither Wing to come in more often.

- Stats (e.g, Attack) are capitalized.
- "while" can't be used to connect more than two things like "and" can.
- "chip damage" is a noun; "chip" is a verb.
- "OHKOed by", not "OHKOed from".
- You can use "it" where applicable to cut down on repetition.
