[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Zoroark provides defensive utility relevant to its team by being immune to Fighting, allowing it to easily pose as any of its allies with Illusion to find setup opportunities and sweep. Focus Blast and Shadow Ball provide unresisted coverage, allowing Hisuian Zoroark to defeat checks such as Mega Tyranitar, Heatran, and Hydreigon. Flamethrower hits foes it wouldn't OHKO otherwise, even after a boost, such as Ferrothorn, Corviknight after minimal chip, and opposing Hisuian Zoroark. Flamethrower alongside Focus Blast considerably eases the Steel matchup for its team, but Hyper Voice is an alternative that deals the most damage in neutral matchups, OHKOing Tapu Koko and Tornadus-T at +1 after Stealth Rock. Hyper Voice can also be used to trigger Breakneck Blitz over Z-Happy Hour to allow Hisuian Zoroark to lure in and overwhelm foes such as Keldeo, Hisuian Lilligant, and Landorus in a pinch. As Hisuian Zoroark lures in Dark-types to check it, Mega Lopunny is a solid partner to keep momentum against such foes, especially as Hisuian Zoroark can bluff as Mega Lopunny more effectively than other teammates, as both hold an item that cannot be removed by Trick or Switcheroo. Mega Lopunny also pressures special walls that Hisuian Zoroark can otherwise struggle with, such as Mega Sableye, Blissey, and Alolan Muk. Entry hazard control by Staraptor is also valuable to ensure Hisuan Zoroark's bluffing capabilities and raise its longevity; Staraptor can also provide a slow pivot to let Hisuian Zoroark come in safely. Chansey and Blissey can set Stealth Rock to let Hisuian Zoroark more easily threaten a sweep and can support it by providing safe pivoting for it with Teleport. In particular, it is easier for Hisuian Zoroark to disguise as Chansey due to a shared vulnerability to entry hazards.

[Mateeus]

-> Move order should be hh, sball, focus blast, thrower / hyper voice as a slash
-> Focus Blast doesn't really ease the matchup against Normal teams because it's walled by the blobs. Heatran is probably a better target mention than Garg too
-> On the other hand, mention Focus Blast + Flamethrower helps Normal teams deal with Steel teams more easily
-> Add a Hyper Voice mention in the paragraph, highlighting its ability to dish the most damage to neutral targets
-> Mega Lopunny is also able to defeat special walls like Mega Sableye and Blissey for Hisuian Zoroark
-> Add Chansey / Blissey as partners that can ease Hisuian Zoroark's sweep by laying down SR to chip targets + let it come in w/ Teleport

qc 1/2

As Hisuian Zoroark lures in Dark-types to check it, Mega Lopunny is a solid partner to keep momentum against such foes, especially as Hisuian Zoroark can bluff as that Pokemon further than others by sharing the trait of a undisturbable item slot by Trick or Switcheroo, and Mega Lopunny pressures special walls that Hisuian Zoroark can struggle with such as Mega Sableye, Blissey, and Alolan Muk.

Chansey and Blissey can set Stealth Rock to let Hisuian Zoroark more easily threaten with a sweep, and can support it as well by providing safe save pivoting for it with Teleport (chansey in particular also is vulnerable to rocks, making it the perfect bluff for H.Zor).

Bobsican please implement this and tag me; I want to take another look at this before I stamp it. Also, please remove the AMGP credit; just to note for the future, you shouldn't add AMGP credits unless given the OK by a GP Team member. Thanks!

Hisuian Zoroark compresses provides defensive utility ("compresses" implies 2 or more roles but you only list the Fighting immunity, if there is another role it provides or I am misunderstanding let me know and we can revert this) relevant to its team by being immune to Fighting, allowing it to easily bluff pose as any of its allies with Illusion(RC) to find setup opportunities and sweep.
