[SET COMMENTS]
Meowstic-M is the tier's premier support Pokemon on hyper offensive teams because of its access to Prankster Reflect and Light Screen. Dual screens is great for allowing the likes of Scraggy, Swoobat, and Huntail to set up with a bit more safety in front of opposing threats. Psychic gives Meowstic-M some offensive presence, doing notable damage to common switch-ins like Dustox and Vibrava that want to remove its dual screens and Poison-types that might want to set up hazards on it like Whirlipede and Trubbish. Psychic also ensures Meowstic isn't completely Taunt fodder. Thunder Wave cripples fast attackers that might try to set up on it, such as Jumpluff, Moxie Scraggy, and Swoobat.

Meowstic-M works best on hyper offensive teams looking for dual screens support in order to give their setup Pokemon like Simipour, Klang, and Sawsbuck a better opportunity to break or sweep the opposing team. Defog users like Dustox and Vibrava remove the dual screens that Meowstic-M sets up, so deterrents like offensive Wigglytuff and Servine are appreciated to keep them up. Taunt users like Scraggy, Krokorok, and Pignite all help thwart these Defoggers as well. Bulk Up Scraggy and Krokorok completely wall Meowstic-M and either set up on it or remove its item with Knock Off, respectively, so teammates like Jumpluff and Carbink are helpful for stopping them.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Yawn can be used in favor of Thunder Wave to help thwart the Defoggers or setup sweepers that can take advantage of Meowstic-M. Psychic can be dropped for Mean Look to further guarantee the sleep from Yawn, which allows for free turns for its teammates but means Meowstic has no attacks and is completely vulnerable to Taunt.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Defog Users**: Dustox, Vibrava, and Pidgeot can remove Meowstic-M's dual screens while taking low damage, being able to heal off the minimal damage from Psychic. However, Dustox and Pidgeot have to be worried about being crippled by Thunder Wave.

**Knock Off Users**: The likes of Scraggy and Krokorok can enter the field safely while threatening to remove Meowstic-M's Light Clay, which weakens its ability to support its teammates. Other users like Ivysaur, Servine, and Persian can remove Meowstic-M's item as well, but they risk getting paralyzed.

**Setup Sweepers**: Bulk Up Scraggy, Dragonair, and Klang are setup sweepers that can safely boost in front of Meowstic-M while not being concerned with Psychic and Thunder Wave thanks to Shed Skin and RestTalk, respectively. Calm Mind Duosion is a similar case, except it doesn't have a way around Thunder Wave.

**Taunt and Encore Users**: Pokemon like Quilladin, Pignite, Politoed, and Jumpluff can thwart Meowstic-M's ability to set up dual screens but don't particularly enjoy the chance of being statused beforehand.

Meowstic-M is the tiers premier support on hyper offensive teams because of its access to both Reflect and Light Screen, which always have priority to go up first thanks to Prankster. Dual screens is great for allowing the likes of Scraggy, Swoobat, and Huntail to setup with a bit more safety in front of opposing threats. Psychic gives Meowstic some offensive presence, doing notable damage to common switch-ins like Dustox and Vibrava who want to remove its screens. Thunder Wave is another great support move to cripple fast attackers that might try to setup on it, such as Jumpluff, Dragon Dance Scraggy, and Swoobat. (Some Offensive Scraggy run Shed Skin still, so might want to specify specifically)

Yawn can be used in favor of Thunder Wave to help thwart the defoggers or set up users that can take advantage of Meowstic-M.

**Taunt and Encore Users**: (Quilladin, Pignite, Politoed, Jumpluff etc. annoy it but obviously don't particularly enjoy being statused beforehand if that's what Meowstic used)

notes for amcheck

adorluigi
- Set up is the verb, and setup is the verb. If a Pokemon is doing the action of setting up, use set up.
- Forme names need to be consistent; it's Meowstic-M throughout. A good tip is if there's a common error in an anlysis (comes up more than once), use ctrl + f to check you haven't missed any.
- The same applies to dual screens; it must be that throughout and never just "screens". Using ctrl + f to check every instance is caught can be really helpful.
- Pokemon are never referred to as 'who'
- Commas before and / but / or are only needed when both clauses are independent, so the comma you added before Poison-types was incorrect because " Poison-types that might want to set up hazards on it like Whirlipede and Trubbish" doesn't make sense as a standalone sentence without the other part. I also removed some other commas that don't connect two independent clauses.
- Phrases like 'is a useful move' or 'is a great support move' or 'is the STAB move of choice' etc are just filler phrases and aren't needed. Just getting to the point of what a move is good for is better for readability.
- "Set up Pokemon" should be steup here because it's a noun in the same way that "setup sweepers" is.
- Defoggers should be capitalised.
- "Setup users" doesn't really make sense; setup sweepers / setup move users is a lot clearler because the concept of setup isn't really something that can be used.
