Moves
========

Celebrate in conjunction with Normalium Z lets Shaymin boost all its stats by one stage. Seed Flare is Shaymin's strongest STAB move and can potentially break past checks like Mandibuzz with Special Defense drops. Air Slash hits Grass-types like Virizion and Roserade and covers targets like Noivern that Shaymin struggles with otherwise. Earth Power handles Steel-types like Registeel and Fire-types like Ninetales. Hidden Power Fire and Synthesis can be used to let Shaymin act as a consistent check to Water-types like Milotic while still retaining the ability to cover targets like Virizion and Registeel.

Set Details
========

Normalium Z with Celebrate lets Shaymin boost all of its stats by a single stage. 252 Special Attack EVs and 252 Speed EVs maximize Shaymin's potential to sweep teams. A Timid nature lets Shaymin outpace Choice Scarf users like Roserade after using Z-Celebrate. Natural Cure lets Shaymin absorb status conditions such as paralysis, which is especially useful when running Synthesis.

Usage Tips
========

Wait until late-game to set up, as earlier in the game, there will likely be roadblocks like Registeel that Shaymin struggles with. In a similar sense, make sure that any potential checks are adequately chipped so that Shaymin will be able to KO them. For example, wear down Pokemon like Noivern so that Shaymin doesn't have to worry about them halting its sweep. Capitalize on Choice-locked Pokemon like Choice Band Zygarde-10% locked into Thousand Arrows and Choice Scarf Drapion locked into Knock Off to give Shaymin easy setup opportunities.

Team Options
========

Alolan Golem is a great partner, being able to remove Steel-types, mainly Bronzong and Registeel, so that Shaymin has an easier time sweeping. Spikes setters like Golisopod and Forretress can chip down potential checks such as Registeel, giving Shaymin an easier time at sweeping late-game. Pursuit trappers like Sneasel and Drapion are excellent partners, being able to trap and remove problematic Pokemon like Bronzong. Pokemon that have similar checks as Shaymin can work as good teammates. For example, Choice Specs Yanmega can work with it to wear down checks like Registeel. Choice Scarf Gardevoir is great at crippling walls with Trick as well. Pokemon that can take advantage of some of Shaymin's checks are great teammates. Examples are Substitute Mismagius for Registeel and Mega Ampharos for Mandibuzz.

List yanmega as a teammate since they kinda sorta share similar checks? just registeel mainly lol, still sounds good

something to take advantage of mandibuzz in team options. idk what to put here tbh.

also name the set Z-Celebrate

QC 1/3

- While it is redundant you need to point out in moves that celebrate alone doesnt boost all the stats. You gotta say "Celebrate in conjunction with Normalium Z lets Shaymin boost all its stats by one stage". It is pretty much the same thing it is important to point that out regardless. Maybe the grammar crew could help to differentiate that later on.
- Spikes* setters like Golisopod. Gotta specify which hazard thiey provide. Can mention forretress in this as well since it provide a cool pivot to bring shaymin against stuff more safely.
- Mention Gardevoir somewhere as a partner. Specs wear down common checks to Shaymin, and Scarf can cripple passive walls with Trick. Maybe on the same paragraph as Yanmega.

QC 2/3 once implemented.

Celebrate in conjunction with Normalium Z lets Shaymin boost all its stats by 1 stage. Seed Flare is Shaymin's most reliable STAB move (either this or just replace 'Shaymin's' with 'a', the sentence feels sorta incomplete.) that can potentially break past checks like Mandibuzz with Special Defense drops. Air Slash hits Grass-types like Virizion and Roserade and covers targets like Noivern that Earth Power + Seed Flare struggles with Shaymin struggles with otherwise. (ty again eien.) Earth Power handles Steel-types like Registeel and Fire-types like Ninetales. Hidden Power Fire + and Synthesis can be used to lets Shaymin act as a consistent check to Water-types like Milotic while retaining the ability to cover targets like Virizion and Registeel that its former coverage hit.

Set Details
========

Normalium Z + Celebrate lets Shaymin boost all of its stats by a single stage. 252 SpA Special Attack EVs + 252 Speed EVs maximize Shaymin's potential to sweep teams. A Timid nature lets Shaymin outpace Choice Scarf users like Roserade after using Z-Celebrate. Natural Cure lets Shaymin absorb status conditions such as paralysis, (AC) which is especially useful when running Synthesis.

Usage Tips
========

Wait until late-game to set up, as earlier in the game, (AC) there will likely be roadblocks like Registeel that Shaymin struggles with. In a similar sense, make sure that any potential checks are adequately chipped so that Shaymin will be able to KO them. For example, wear down Pokemon like Noivern so that Shaymin doesn't have to worry about them halting its sweep. Capitalize on Choice-locked Pokemon like Choice Band Zygarde-10% locked into Thousand Arrows or and Choice Scarf Drapion locked into Knock Off to give yourself Shaymin an easy set up setup opportunity.

Celebrate in conjunction with Normalium Z lets Shaymin boost all its stats by 1 one stage. Seed Flare is Shaymin's most reliable (perhaps find a better adjective? Seed flare ain't the most reliable move in the world.) STAB move that and can potentially break past checks like Mandibuzz with Special Defense drops. Air Slash hits Grass-types like Virizion and Roserade and covers targets like Noivern that Shaymin struggles with otherwise. Earth Power handles Steel-types like Registeel and Fire-types like Ninetales.
