With its unique access to Shell Smash and Stored Power, Polteageist carves itself a niche as a decent sweeper, aided by Queenly Majesty against priority moves from the likes of Slither Wing and Dragonite. Stored Power, after a Shell Smash boost, lets Polteageist blast through anything that isn't a Dark-type or a dedicated special wall. Giga Drain allows Polteageist to OHKO Swampert after slight chip damage as well as letting it deal great damage to both Ting-Lu and Chien-Pao. Polteageist can pair well with Pokemon like Dragonite, Zamazenta, and Iron Hands, which can bait in Pokemon that it can scare out such as Pecharunt and Deoxys-D. Polteageist struggles with getting onto the field to set up due to entry hazards invalidating its Focus Sash and it being frail, so it usually appreciates Taunt leads like Corviknight and Deoxys-S and entry hazard removers like Great Tusk. Polteageist also cannot hurt most Dark-types in a meaningful way, so it enjoys having teammates like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Iron Hands, which can help remove most of them. Even though Polteageist can outspeed most unboosted Pokemon after a Shell Smash boost, it still struggles with Deoxys-S and most Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Azelf, Roaring Moon, and Walking Wake because they can easily outspeed it and KO it, so having speed control support from either Sticky Web or priority users like Dragonite is appreciated. Finally, Polteageist only works on offensive teams, as it's unable to provide much outside of setting up once and attempting to sweep, so supporting that sweep with teammates that provide either entry hazards, like Deoxys-S and Smeargle, or dual screens, like Corviknight and Regieleki, is a great boon to Polteageist.

With its unique access to Shell Smash and Stored Power, Polteageist carves itself a niche as a decent sweeper, aided by Queenly Majesty helping against priority moves such as Slither Wings First Impression and Dragonites Extreme Speed from the likes of Slither Wing and Dragonite. Stored Power, after a Shell Smash boost, lets Polteageist blast through many Pokemon as long as they aren't resistant to it I don't really like when it just says "many pokemon", could probably replace that with something like "anything not named a special wall" or just specifying that it beats everything except for dedicated special walls & Dark-types. Giga Drain allows Polteageist to potentially OHKO Swampert after slight chip as well as letting it deal great damage into both Ting-Lu and Chien-Pao. Polteageist struggles with getting onto the field to set up due to entry hazards invalidating its Focus Sash and it being frail, so it usually appreciates allies like Great Tusk or Corviknight who can help remove entry hazards or even pivot it in. Polteageist also can not hurt most Dark-types in a meaningful way, so it enjoyss enjoys having teammates like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Scream Tail who can help remove most Dark-types. Even though Polteageist can outspeed most unboosted Pokemon after a Shell Smash boost, it still struggles with Regieleki, Deoxys-S, and most Choice Scarf Pokemon List some examples here as not all of them are faster as they can easily outspeed it and KO it, so having teammates who can remove Choice Scarfs or uses Choice Scarf as speed control like Roaring Moon, Azelf, and Walking Wake will all help Polteageist A bit iffy, since most Scarf users will generally avoid taking knocks, and since this is on HO as well you don't really use any of your examples on those teams. Mentioning other speed control like Dragonite or using webs to slow down the foe seems more applicable here. Finally, Polteageist only works on offensive teams as it's unable to provide much outside of setting up once and attempting to sweep list what teammates helps enable it, I.E screen/webs setters.

AM Check Feedback

- I'd avoid using "chip" on its own as a noun in place of "chip damage".
- In the first teammate sentence, there was a repeated "that".
- "Either/or" phrases should have a parallel structure, meaning that the word type that follows "either" should be the same as the one that follows "or". For example, in the last sentence, the structure was "provide either entry hazards or provide dual screens", and "entry hazards" is a noun, whereas "provide" is a verb, so it was structured wrong. To fix it, you can either remove the second provide to ensure both words are followed by nouns or swap the order of "either" and the first "provide" to ensure both words are followed by verbs.
