Who let this thing out of RuneScape? After its debut, Skeledirge quickly established itself as a stalwart behemoth, taking heavy advantage of Pokemon like Scream Tail and Tinkaton. Its natural bulk and access to Slack Off make it difficult to wear down with the given spread, as it avoids being 2HKOed by Salamence's Hurricane and Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos's Brave Bird. It has impressive offensive potential, as Will-O-Wisp keeps enemies like Quagsire and Hippowdon from switching in freely and sets up a late-game sweep with Hex alongside boosts from Torch Song. Unaware alongside Tera Fairy or Water helps it bypass foes like Hydreigon, Kleavor, and Quaquaval while giving itself more room to set up. However, Skeledirge needs help against foes it no longer checks after Terastallizing like Scizor and Breloom. Tornadus-T is fantastic, as it can revenge kill both while being a more immediate threat with Nasty Plot. Quagsire helps greatly with wearing down enemies with Toxic and Spikes while checking nuisances like Alolan Muk and Hisuian Arcanine. Hisuian Goodra helps check Volcanion and Basculegion-F while threatening foes with its powerful Draco Meteor and coverage.

The new month became a RuneScape moment when this thing dropped! After the recent drops, Skeledirge wasted no time establishing itself as a stalwart behemoth, taking heavy advantage of Pokemon like Scream Tail and Tinkaton. would absolutely bring up the Unaware value here too and its ability to combat a lot of set up threats too alongside its Tera options instead of just taking advantage of hte more passive stuff like this too. It is bulky enough to withstand plenty of neutral hits, such as avoiding being 2HKOed by Salamence's Hurricane and specify choice scarf cause it absolutely gets roasted by cb still Galarian Zapdos's Brave Bird with the given spread. This makes Skeledirge difficult to wear down alongside its access to Slack Off. Skeledirge also has offensive potential as Will-O-Wisp crippling switch-ins like Quagsire and Hippowdon while being a late-game threat with Hex in tandem with Torch Song. worded slightly weird which may need editing a little but fine point otherwise, depending on word count you can mention how hex + willo means quag doesn't just stop its set up threat completely too and how it can use a lot of its thngs it sits on to boost up. Furthermore, Tera Fairy or Water helps it bypass nuisances like Hydreigon, Kleavor, and Quaqaval. again depending on word count you could mention how it has to be careful that its not gonna lose out on ability to check sciz / become weak to stuff like thundy/breloom Teammates such as Quagsire helps greatly with wearing down the opponents with Toxic and Spikes while checking nuisances like Alolan Muk and Ceruledge. Breloom helps with status spreading with Spore while being being able to revenge kill threats like Greninja and Donphan. Tornadus-T provides a check to Meowscrada while being a more immediate threat with Nasty Plot.
This looks good, idk what word count is like but feel free to pick and choose which of my additions you want to add here based on that as all of them are just suggestions of things you *could* add.

qc 1/1.
