[SET COMMENTS]
Rillaboom is one of Reg G's strongest pivots, slotting well into most teams because of its extremely flexible toolkit. Terrain control is especially valuable in a format where Miraidon and Indeede-F are prevalent, with Grassy Terrain elevating Wood Hammer's damage to nuclear levels. Fake Out and Grassy Glide provide strong utility, with the latter threatening the many foes that outspeed Rillaboom and being able to pick off low HP targets. U-Turn is generally preffered to give Rillaboom a pivot option, however High Horsepower can also be used as coverage such as for Incineroar or Zacian-C. Assault Vest is used to match up better into special threat such as Tornadus and Calyrex-S as well as because Rillaboom doesn't run status moves regardless. The Speed investment outspeeds Calyrex-S while under Tailwind, with the defense investments making Astral Barrage from Life Orb Calyrex-S almost always a 3HKO after terrain recovery and allows Rillaboom to live a Flare Blitz from Incineroar. The Attack investment almost always OHKOes Urshifu-R at -1 Attack.

Rillaboom is strong with any restricted that benefits from its offensive coverage or its terrain and Fake Out granting longevity and setup opportunity, such as Calyrex-S, Terapagos and Kyogre, with the former 2 appreciating Rillaboom removing Urshifu-R, a counter for both. Rillaboom doesn't need any particular support to function, however, Pokemon that complete the Fire-Water-Grass Defensive core such as Incineroar and Urshifu-R work well together. The former can make Rillaboom even harder to kill with Intimidate and has its own Fake Out to complement Rillaboom's cycling, while the latter presents a more offensive threat that hits through Protect, the most common way to beat Fake Out. Rillaboom's worst matchups are those that either resist its Grass-type STAB or can weaken it's attacks. Opposing Incineroar are a prime example, resisting Grass and hampering its damage with Intimidate.

Rillaboom is one of Reg G's strongest pivots, slotting well into most teams because of its extremely flexible toolkit. Terrain control is especially valuable in a format where Miraidon and Indeede-F are prevalent, with Grassy Terrain elevating Wood Hammer's damage to nuclear levels. Fake Out and Grassy Glide provides strong utility, with the latter threatening the many foes that outspeed Rillaboom and being able to pick off low HP targets. Opponents have to respect both the pressure from Fake Out support as well as the threat of a Wood Hammer, which bring most targets to red HP.(maybe remove, seems redundant after already noting Wood Hammer's nuclear damage) U-Turn gives Rillaboom a pivot option, with Assault Vest being used to match up better into special threats, and as Rillaboom doesn't run status moves regardless. The Speed investment outspeeds Calyrex-S while Rillaboom is in Tailwind, with the defense investments making Astral Barrage from Life Orb Calyrex-S almost always a 3HKO after terrain recovery and allows Rillaboom to live a Flare Blitz from Incineroar. The Attack investment almost always OHKOes Urshifu-R at -1 Attack.

Rillaboom can support many restricteds, but it is especially good with partners that benefit from its offensive coverage, such as its ability to hit Water types being good for Zacian-C and Kyogre, or its terrain and Fake Out granting longevity and setup opportunity, such as Calyrex-S and Terapagos.(this could be unnecessary, but it feels odd to just say the support mon doesn't need support and is good in FWG cores without mentioning potential partners outside of that in some way)Rillaboom doesn't need any particular support to function, however, Pokemon that complete the Fire-Water-Grass Defensive core such as Incineroar and Urshifu-R work well together. The former can make Rillaboom even harder to kill with Intimidate and has its own Fake Out to complement Rillaboom's cycling, while the latter presents a more offensive threat that hits through Protect, the most common way to beat Fake Out. (just elaborating specifically why Ursh + Fake Out works well together) and appreciates Fake Out. Rillaboom's worst matchups are those that either resist its Grass-type STAB or can weaken it's attacks. Opposing Incineroar are a prime example, resisting Grass and hampering its damage with Intimidate.

Rillaboom is one of Reg G's strongest pivots, slotting well into most teams because of its extremely flexible toolkit. Terrain control is especially valuable in a format where Miraidon and Indeedee-F are prevalent, with Grassy Terrain elevating Wood Hammer's damage to nuclear levels. Fake Out and Grassy Glide provides strong utility, with the latter threatening the many foes that outspeed Rillaboom and being able to pick off low HP targets. Opponents have to respect both the pressure from Fake Out support as well as the threat of a Wood Hammer, which bring most targets to red HP Grassy Glide range (rephrased it, I think glide range is more relevant) . U-Turn gives Rillaboom a pivot option (high horsepower where? you go straight to items), with Assault Vest being used to match up better into special threats like Calyrex-S and Kyogre (saying just "special threats" isn't really much, assault vest increasing spdef is dex info. Feel free to use special threats that aren't calyrex-s and kyogre, these are just the two I think are most relevant as miracle seed rillaboom still takes a ton from water spout and calyrex-s is the best mon in the game), and as Rillaboom doesn't run status moves regardless. The Speed investment outspeeds Calyrex-S while Rillaboom is in Tailwind, with the defense investments making Astral Barrage from Life Orb Calyrex-S a 3HKO and allows Rillaboom to live a Flare Blitz from Incineroar. The Attack investment almost always OHKOes Urshifu-R at -1 Attack.

Rillaboom doesn't need any particular support to function, however, Pokemon that complete the Fire-Water-Grass Defensive core such as Incineroar and Urshifu-R work well together. The former can make Rillaboom even harder to kill with Intimidate and has its own Fake Out to complement Rillaboom's cycling, while the latter presents a more offensive threat (mention that it deals with incin, this is a pretty important part of the Rilla shifu pairing and perhaps also fake out + unseen fist) and appreciates Fake Out. Rillaboom's worst matchups are those that either resist its Grass-type STAB or can weaken it's attacks (this is fine, but also mentioning later pokemon like calyrex-I who can just use rillaboom as chilling neigh fodder could be appropriate). Opposing Incineroar are a prime example, resisting Grass and hampering its damage with Intimidate.

Rillaboom is one of Reg G's strongest pivots, slotting well into most teams because of its extremely flexible toolkit. Terrain control is especially valuable in a format where Miraidon and Indeede-F are prevalent, with Grassy Terrain elevating Wood Hammer's damage to nuclear levels. Fake Out and Grassy Glide provide strong utility, with the latter threatening the many foes that outspeed Rillaboom and being able to pick off low HP targets. U-Turn is generally preffered to give Rillaboom a pivot option, however High Horsepower can also be used as coverage, 2HKOing Steel- and Fire-types such as Gholdengo and Tera Fire Ogerpon-H. Assault Vest is used to match up better into special threat such as Tornadus and Calyrex-S as well as because Rillaboom doesn't run status moves regardless. The Speed investment outspeeds Calyrex-S while Rillaboom is in under Tailwind, with the defense investments making Astral Barrage from Life Orb Calyrex-S almost always a 3HKO after terrain recovery and allows Rillaboom to live a Flare Blitz from Incineroar. The Attack investment almost always OHKOes Urshifu-R at -1 Attack.

Rillaboom is strong with any restricted that benefits from its offensive coverage, such as Zacian-C and Kyogre (Zacian-C is walled by Fire- and Steel-types. Kyogre is iffy because of Grass-types but I can see it. Probably drop Zac-C or the offensive part all together.), or its terrain and Fake Out granting longevity and setup opportunity, such as Calyrex-S and Terapagos (Worth highlighting how it removes Urshifu-R for both of them.). Rillaboom doesn't need any particular support to function, however, Pokemon that complete the Fire-Water-Grass Defensive core such as Incineroar and Urshifu-R work well together. The former can make Rillaboom even harder to kill with Intimidate and has its own Fake Out to complement Rillaboom's cycling, while the latter presents a more offensive threat that hits through Protect, the most common way to beat Fake Out. Rillaboom's worst matchups are those that either resist its Grass-type STAB or can weaken it's attacks.

I wouldn't implement this AMGP; it makes changes that stray into QC territory. I would discuss on Discord if you think some of the QC-like changes are good (should Raging Bolt be mentioned among HHP targets, the removal of the statement that Rillaboom doesn't use non-damaging moves, does -1 Rillaboom KO Urshifu-R with only WH or does GG also KO it, etc). It also misses several GP mistakes and introduces new ones to boot.
