[SET COMMENTS]

This set takes advantage of Flutter Mane's great strength and coverage to become a fearsome wallbreaker. Power Gem lets Flutter Mane destroy Ho-Oh, an otherwise perfect counter to Flutter Mane, but has very little practical use otherwise. Calm Mind lets Flutter Mane reliably break through defensive Arceus formes like Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy for the benefit of teammates like Koraidon and Miraidon. Psyshock hits Clodsire and Eternatus, while Mystical Fire hits Zacian-C, but both have little practical use beyond hitting their intended targets. Tera Fairy is the preferred Tera type with Calm Mind. Tera Stellar is preferred when not running Calm Mind, as Flutter Mane's coverage moves can struggle to OHKO their intended targets. For example, Ho-Oh and Zacian-C can normally survive Power Gem and Mystical Fire, respectively, from full HP. However, with Tera Stellar, Flutter Mane's coverage moves are favored to OHKO these Pokemon. Tera Stellar is also useful for boosting Moonblast's power while keeping Flutter Mane's immunity to Extreme Speed from Extreme Killer Arceus, allowing Flutter Mane to pick it off from higher HP.

Choice Scarf Koraidon is Flutter Mane's best friend, as Koraidon provides Flutter Mane with sun and pivot support. Koraidon also appreciates Flutter Mane threatening Koraidon's checks for it, like Landorus-T and Ho-Oh. Another good partner is Miraidon, which can work with Flutter Mane to overwhelm shared checks such as Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy. Spikes support from Gliscor and Ting-Lu are generally good for wallbreakers like Flutter Mane, but Flutter Mane in particular enjoys Spikes weakening its checks, as it's not easy to revenge kill courtesy of its impressive Speed and good defensive typing. Thus, Spikes allows Flutter Mane to continue being threatening even against fast-paced offensive teams, especially as its low bulk makes it somewhat difficult to safely get on the field; it can also be forced out by Pokemon like Zacian-C if not carrying Mystical Fire. Entry hazard control in the form of Giratina-O's Defog is also an option to increase Flutter Mane's longevity, as otherwise Flutter Mane gets worn down very quickly by entry hazards and Life Orb recoil.

This set takes advantage of Flutter Mane’s great strength and coverage to become a fearsome wallbreaker. Power Gem lets Flutter Mane destroy Ho-Oh, an otherwise perfect counter to Flutter Mane, but has very little practical use otherwise. Calm Mind sets up on defensive Arceus formes like Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy, allowing Flutter Mane to break through them in for the benefit of teammates like Koraidon and Miraidon. i think u rephrase this to just letting it break thru arc forms, its kinda awkward to say it sets up on defensive arc forms Psyshock hits Clodsire and Eternatus and Mystical Fire hits Zacian-C, but both have little practical use beyond their intended targets. Tera Fairy is the preferred Tera Type with Calm Mind, as it makes Moonblast even more spammable after a Calm Mind. Tera Stellar is preferred when running 4 attacks, as Flutter Mane’s coverage can struggle to OHKO their intended targets. For example, Ho-Oh can survive Power Gem and Zacian-C can survive Mystical Fire from full HP. However, with Tera Stellar, Flutter Mane’s coverage moves are favored to OHKO their intended targets. Tera Stellar is also useful for boosting Moonblast while keeping Flutter Mane’s immunity to Extreme Speed from Extreme Killer Arceus, allowing Flutter Mane to pick it off from higher HP. match set order again, make it stellar listed first / fairy next on this set

Choice Scarf Koraidon is Flutter Mane’s best friend, as Koraidon provides Flutter Mane with sun and pivot support. Koraidon also appreciates Flutter Mane threatening Koraidon’s checks for it, like Landorus-T and Ho-Oh. Another good partner is Miraidon, which can work with Flutter Mane to overwhelm shared checks like bulky Arceus formes, like Ground and Fairy, so they can run wild. Spikes support from Gliscor and Ting-Lu are generally good for wallbreakers like Flutter Mane, but Flutter Mane in particular enjoys Spikes weakening its checks, as it’s not easy to revenge kill courtesy of its impressive Speed and good defensive typing. Thus, Spikes allows Flutter Mane to continue being threatening even against fast-paced offensive teams. u can mention that flutter's lack of bulk makes it hard to enter the field, and it can be forced out by a predicted entry of zacian-c or post tera ho oh

Pls mention Defog support, as this Flutter can be worn down really quickly by hazards + LO recoil otherwise.

I also don't think it's necessary to say Stellar is only for 4 attack sets, I think it's useful regardless as it can always threaten to OHKO Ho-Oh. I would honestly make Stellar the first slash but I'll leave that up to you
