That post treads the line. I think I'll remove it for now, since it's just posting a Smogon set for the sake of posting a Smogon set. Though, I think it would be okay if somebody took a strat from Smogon and explained in their own words why it's good.
Your messages are never a bother, btw. Don't worry about that.

Time for a random “essay” that I came up with while attempting and failing miserably to sleep
Why Gen 8 is just a low quality gen 7
First, there’s Hop. He’s literally Hau, with very similar animations and is very high energy and adventurous, and has incredibly similar animations. Hau is superior in the fact that he’s happy even when he loses, and Hop makes you feel like an absolute monster for crushing his dreams. You meet the Champions early in the game, Leon in SWSH and Hop (kinda champion, kinda not). Now for the story. They both have one pathetic evil team that run around with their Pokémon being annoying, but Team Skull is more smart and powerful. Then, there’s the real evil people, the Aether foundation and Macro Cosmos. The Aether foundation is more interesting, with more interesting characters, and being helped by Team Skull. They both have unique mechanics, with Z-Moves in Alola and Dynamax in Galar. Dynamax is lame. Z-Moves are neat. That’s all there is too it. Alola has the Tapus, more characters, all characters being more interesting than Galar’s, and a nice tropical feel to it. Galar is..just boring as hell. Now let’s look at the legendaries. Solgaleo and Lunala aren’t very similar to Zacian and Zamazenta, but both duos share a type. But the third legends are quite similar. Both appear in the climaxes with two fights, Necrozma DM/DW - Ultra Necrozma and Eternatus - Eternamax Eternatus. The Eternamax Eternatus one is really easy, as you get help from Hop, Zacian, and Zamazenta. I can only imagine how epic it would be if you fought it alone. In Ultra Necrozma’s fight, you do it alone, with just you and your Pokémon. He gets an all-stat boost, and his very high level makes this fight next to impossible. The only way to win this fight is a strong bond with your Pokémon so they can tough it out for you (isn’t that heartwarming?). The legendaries themselves are quite similar, with Ultra Necrozma being kinda evil and a being of light, and Eternamax Eternatus being evil and a being of darkness. It’s almost like they are counterparts. They both use the power of the region’s gimmick, with Ultra Necrozma using the light and aura of Z-Moves and Eternamax Eternatus using the power of Dynamax. They both have a similar way to get legendaries, being a “game” to get to them, Dynamax Adventures and Ultra Wormholes. They both have high shiny odds. Dynamax Adventures have them for legendaries too, but that makes it a bit too easy.
Also this got me thinking about how epic a battle between Ultra Necrozma and Eternamax Eternatus would be.
And that concludes the long boring random thing I put on your wall for some reason
