Who let the dog out in UU? Okidogi's lethal STAB combination alongside Toxic Chain enables it to severely disrupt balance teams, with Bulk Up turning it into a late game-sweeper that is difficult to revenge kill. Drain Punch provides more longevity. Poison Jab in conjunction with Toxic Chain can be used to cripple would-be checks such as Skeledirge and Hippowdon. Knock Off punishes potential switch-ins such as Tornadus-T, Moltres, and Sandy Shocks by removing their items while also hitting Sinistcha and Skeledirge for super effective damage. The listed EV spread gives Okidogi the ability to outspeed Crawdaunt. Tera Electric gives Okidogi a Flying resistance, which turns the tables on Tornadus-T. Okidogi appreciates teammates that can deal with powerful special attackers. Slowking pivots into Tornadus-T, Moltres, and special Jirachi while also providing Future Sight support and deterring Clodsire and Galarian Weezing from switching in. Ground-immune Pokemon such as Hydreigon, Thundurus-T, and Air Balloon Iron Treads all check Sandy Shocks. In turn, Okidogi deals with Meowscarada, Weavile, and Iron Hands for them.

Who let the dog out in UU? With Bulk Up, Okidogi functions as a bulky setup sweeper. This doesn't really tell the user a whole deal about Okidogi. I'd be commenting on how the great STAB combo alongside Toxic Chain makes it a strong balance breaker, Bulk Up bolstering that further turning it into a dangerous late-game cleaner that is hard to revenge kill. If you have space you could talk about its defensive profile by checking Meow and Iron Hands but it is a spotlight so I know it can be hard to do so. Drain Punch is used to ensure that Okidogi has more recovery as well as hitting Steel types immune to poison such Iron Treads and Empoleon, while also being able to seriously damage Crawdaunt. If GP decides this needs examples then sure, but this is obvious info. The only explanation needed is that it provides recovery for more longevity. Poison Jab in conjunction with Toxic Chain can be used to place would be checks such as Skeledirge and Iron Hands in an uncomfortable position. Iron Hands is a pretty bad example, it will lose to BU and wouldn't want to risk switching into a potential CB one either. Hippowdon would work better as an example. Knock Off is used to punish potential switch ins such as Tornadus-T, Moltres, and Sandy Shocks by removing their items while also hitting Sinistcha and Skeledirge for super effective damage. The listed EV spread gives Okidogi the ability to outspeed Crawdaunt as well as having a jump point in attack, making it stronger. Tera Fairy gives Okidogi a better defensive profile, making it lose its weaknesses to Ground, Flying and Psychic. I know Fairy was provided but change it to Electric and just mention how it lets Dogi resist Flying to handle Tornadus-T. You can mention another example like Galarian Zapdos or Thundurus-T if you want. Okidogi struggles against the Special Attackers of the tier such as Tornadus-T and Sandy Shocks, while also struggling to beat fellow poison types such as Amoonguss, and Clodsire, therefore Ground-types such as Iron Treads and Sandy Shocks as well as Special Walls such as Cresselia and Hisuian Goodra are appreciated. You are trying to compress too much into one sentence so it just does not read well. Also, I do not like Amoonguss as an example, the moment you click Spore and they switch into something else to tank it, you just lose to dogi.

Slowking should just be listed on its own. It pivots into Tornadus-T, Moltres, special Jirachi, etc. that threaten Dogi. It also provides Future Sight support that prevents Clodsire and Gweez from coming in to take the hit from Dogi. In exchange, Dogi deals with Meow, Weavile, and Iron Hands.

For Sandy Shocks you can mention Hydreigon, Thundurus-T, and Air Balloon Iron Treads. They also apply pressure on Dogi checks like the aforementioned two I listed.

The listed EV spread gives Okidogi the ability to outspeed Crawdaunt as well as having a jump point in attack, making it stronger (not sure what you meant with the last part, stronger than what? if the 32 Atk EVs have a specific purpose then it's better to state it without being this vague, otherwise remove this bit entirely). Tera Electric gives Okidogi a Flying resistance, which turns the tables on Tornadus-T. Okidogi apreciates appreciates teammates that can deal with powerful special attackers. Slowking pivots into Tornadus-T, Moltres, and Special special Jirachi while also providing Future Sight support,(RC) and deterring Clodsire and Galarian Weezing from Switching switching in. Ground-(AH)immune pokemon Pokemon such as Hydreigon, Thundurus-T, and Air Balloon Iron Treads all check Sandy Shocks. In turn, Okidogi deals with Meowscarada, Weavile, and Iron Hands for its teammates them.
