Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam

Nidoqueen's queenly presence has joined RU, and it's one of the tier's most fearsome wallbreakers and Stealth Rock setters, sporting a great movepool that is boosted by Sheer Force + Life Orb. Nidoqueen is able to set Stealth Rock against common removal options such as Crobat, Togekiss, and Rotom-C. Its STAB moves hit metagame defining Pokemon such as Cobalion, Volcanion, Xurkitree, and Togekiss, while Ice Beam hits common Flying- and Dragon-types such as Noivern, Crobat, and Flygon as well as Roserade and Dhelmise. Obstagoon and Incineroar help Nidoqueen beat Reuniclus, Necrozma, and Umbreon while benefiting from it checking Electric- and Fighting-types like Xurkitree and Heracross. Raikou and Xurkitree make great partners, beating Milotic and Starmie and bringing in Nidoqueen on Grass-types with Volt Switch. Togekiss, Suicune, and Milotic provide answers to Flygon. In return, Nidoqueen can take on Raikou and Xurkitree for them.

Being able to set Stealth Rock against common removal options such as Crobat, Togekiss, and Rotom-C.
incomplete sentence

Its STAB moves let it hit metagame defining Pokemon such as Cobalion, Volcanion, Celebi, and Lucario.
The last two really aren’t metagame defining, I’d replace Lucario with Xurkitree. Togekiss is the
most important target for Sludge Wave even though you mentioned it last sentence too

with the latter two also checking Focus Sash Cloyster.
dont think this is relevant

Can add xurk to partners section with Raikou and mention how they both bring nido in versus grasses with their volt

QC 1/1

Nidoqueen's queenly presence has joined RU,(AC) and it's one of the tier's most fearsome wallbreakers and Stealth Rock setters, sporting a great movepool that is boosted by Sheer Force and + Life Orb. Nidoqueen is able to set Stealth Rock against common removal options such as Crobat, Togekiss, and Rotom-C. Its STAB moves let it hit metagame defining Pokemon such as Cobalion, Volcanion, Xurkitree, and Togekiss,(comma to period) while Ice Beam hits common Flying- and Dragon-types foes such as Noivern, Crobat, and Flygon,(RC) as well as Roserade and Dhelmise. Nidoqueen appreciates aid from Obstagoon and Incineroar to beat Reuniclus, Necrozma, and Umbreon while answering Electric- and Fighting-types like Xurkitree and Heracross, respectively. Obstagoon and Incineroar help Nidoqueen beat Reuniclus, Necrozma, and Umbreon while benefitting from it checking Electric- and Fighting-types like Xurkitree and Heracross. Raikou and Xurkitree make great partners, beating Milotic and Starmie and pivoting on Grass-types with Volt Switch which Nidoqueen threatens bringing in Nidoqueen on Grass-types with Volt Switch. Flygon answers such as Togekiss, Suicune, and Milotic make good partners provide answers to Flygon.(Repetition of "make good partners") In return, Nidoqueen can take on Raikou and Xurkitree for them.
