a great unrecorded history
Start off by setting up entry hazards if and when (1) possible, as this will apply some pressure to the opponent (2), causing them to think more carefully about switching in and out, and. (3) If there is no chance to set up hazards at first, start off with Protect to scout out the opponent's moves. Take full advantage of this to help in determining what moves the opponent could have and and determine what you can do to counter it (4). Set up a Leech Seed after hazards have been set up (5) and follow it up with Protect. This will help Ferroseed remain in control of the matchup, not only receiving restoring its HP each turn but also slowly wearing down opposing Pokemon (6). As opponents will attempt to switch, being able to determine switch-ins is key for Ferroseed since as it can use Leech Seed on an incoming opponent to wear them it down or Gyro Ball for damage. Use Gyro Ball after Protect to make sure Ferroseed recovers from any damage taken. (7) Thunder Wave can also be used when opponents switch in to slow them down for setup sweepers. However, it's worth noting that Thunder Wave is somewhat counterproductive with to Gyro Ball, so always think carefully about when to utilize both. Being able to predict Poison-type moves is useful, as Ferroseed can be tossed into play switched in, saving teammates such as Slurpuff, Lilligant, or even (8) Granbull from danger.
1. 'Start off' implies that Ferroseed will be trying to set up hazards immediately, so including 'and when' seems unnecessary.
2. Just saying 'pressure' is more straightforward.
3. Split the sentence here because it felt like a natural place to stop.
4. The crossed out part basically restated what the previous sentence said about scouting, so it was removed. The remaining part of the crossed out sentence was fine and flowed well with the scouting sentence, so I put them together.
5. This one wasn't important, but 'up' was used three times in that sentence and it felt awkward.
6. I took 'this' to refer to the Leech Seed + Protect combo. In that case, 'Leech Seed not only restores its HP each turn' makes more sense than 'Leech Seed not only receives HP each turn'.
7. It sounds like Gyro Ball is helping Ferroseed recover from damage, which isn't right. It doesn't seem like a vital sentence anyways, so I took it out.
8. Unfortunately for Granbull, it isn't so special that it deserves an 'even' before its name.
