LC Togepi



[OVERVIEW]
Togepi's typing and good defensive stats may seem appealing, but there is little that differentiates it from Spritzee. It's only saving grace is its access to a single-turn recovery move as well as Fire Blast, which lets it hit Steel-types like Ferroseed, but unless your team is extremely weak to these Pokemon, Spritzee will always be a better choice thanks to its better stats and ability to act as a Wish-passer.

[SET COMMENTS]
Togepi should aim to switch into Fighting- and Dark-types like Mienfoo, Timburr, and Vullaby and take advantage of the free turn. Fire Blast is the only thing that differentiates it from Spritzee, and it allows Togepi to hit Steel-types such as Pawniard for some damage. If Steel-types aren't a huge issue, however, Nasty Plot Spritzee is a better choice on any team.

[OVERVIEW]
Togepi's rare typing and good defensive stats may seem appealing, but there is little that differentiates it from Spritzee(.) add period , which can do everything Togepi attempts to do better. It's only saving grace is its access to Fire Blast, which lets it hit Steel-types like Ferroseed, but unless your team is extremely weak to these Pokemon, Spritzee will always be a better choice.

I'm not sure what specifically should change, however I feel that fire blast is enough to generally make your phrasing awkward. I changed some stuff, but feel free to edit the 2nd sentence too!

I'm pretty sure that Morning Sun is just inferior. And NP first makes more sense per set comments.
I think the wordy set comments is okay, since it helps the comparison of Spritzee vs Togepi.

What also differentiates Togepi from Spritzee is single turn recovery, would suggest mentioning that.

This needs a name. No meme names please.

Clarify Nasty Plot Spritzee in the last sentence.

Togepi's typing and good defensive stats may seem appealing, but there is little that differentiates it from Spritzee. It's only saving grace is its access to a single-turn recovery move,(RC) as well as Fire Blast, which lets it hit Steel-types like Ferroseed, but unless your team is extremely weak to these Pokemon, Spritzee will always be a better choice (explain why. Right now I only see Togepi's benefits).
