Choice-locked sweeping?

I know that choice scarf mons are revenge killers, and I know that specs and bands are wall breakers. But I would like clarity on some disheartening rhetoric that “choice-locked” sweepers are a thing. Is this true? Please help meh.

Actually, there is no such thing as a choice-locked sweeper. In rare scenarios, choice-locked Pokemon can potentially sweep a team that didn’t prepare for it enough, but this does not necessarily classify them as sweepers.Every choice items creates a specific role for the Pokemon wielding it, and sweeping isn’t one of them. Sweeping can however become their role in a match by random if they happen to be able to plow through or certain team, but this is more commonly referred to as cleaning, this separating these 2 concepts is of vital importanceAs you have clarified yourself, choice scarfed Pokemon tend to be revenge killers, but in the list below, I will clarify what common roles are produced by the choice-items

Choice Scarf

Choice Specs

Choice Band

Choice-locked Pokemon are usually not designed to be sweepers, and despite the possibility existing of them assuming the role, they usually serve the above.

Refers to how the held items Choice Band, Choice Scarf, and ChoiceSpecs limit a Pokémon to use only one of its moves. A Pokémon is saidto be “Choice locked” into a specific move if forced to use it by aChoice item

It can only use one move because its been Locked in.Choice-Locked Sweepers are Sweepers that are limited to only one move.
