  1. - One thing I noticed a lot is that the author uses a comma before a conjunction when they shouldn't be. While this is fine for casual writing (i.e. Flying Press Articles), analyses need a more formal style. If the phrase isn't a list, you should only add the comma if the clause that follows the conjunction is an independent clause (i.e. stands on its own as a sentence). So, in sentences like "Azelf also possesses fantastic offensive stats, and can capitalize..." you should remove the comma before "and".
  2. - I don't think you need to add "up" when it comes to setting entry hazards, since that's a bit different from setting up to sweep, but that's just my thoughts, and it's not a standards thing afaik anyways
  3. - "A Jolly nature is used if..." -> "A Jolly nature *should be* used if..." since it's talking about something conditional
  4. - You went through this check very quickly, so there were a few phrases that sounded a bit off and would prolly need a second look. I.e. "However, some opponents may use means of countermeasures to Azelf, such as Mega Aerodactyl, Choice Scarf Krookodile, and Taunt Crobat, which makes a teammate capable of dealing with these threats better to bring out first" sounds very unwieldy as a sentence.
  5. - "offensive threats that enjoy entry hazard support for securing KOes", KOes -> KOs since KOes is a verb but KOs is the noun.
  6. - Imo if it's pretty obvious what the author meant to add when they're missing a word, add it in, maybe leaving a comment if you're only 99% sure. If something sounds off on a content standpoint, that's where you'd just want to stick with a comment.
