Dragonite @ Choice Band

Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch

[SET COMMENTS]
Dragonite is a terrifying wallbreaker on Flying teams by virtue of its high Attack stat further boosted by Choice Band as well as its great coverage moves. Furthermore, a great ability in Multiscale allows it to survive super effective attacks from the likes of Iron Valiant and Hydreigon. Extreme Speed allows Dragonite to serve as a sweeper, easily sweeping through frail foes that don't resist it, and it also revenge kills boosted, albeit weakened, setup sweepers such as Volcarona and Gouging Fire. Earthquake targets Steel- and Poison-types like Iron Treads, Kingambit, Heatran, and Toxapex. Fire Punch allows Dragonite to threaten foes that resist Outrage and are immune to Earthquake like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Air Balloon Gholdengo.

Corviknight is an essential teammate for Dragonite, since it handles Rock-, Fairy-, and Ice-types like Ogerpon-C, Hatterene, and Chien-Pao with Iron Head, pivots it in with U-turn, and uses Defog to remove Stealth Rock that would otherwise wear Dragonite down over time and break Multiscale. In return, Corviknight appreciates Dragonite handling the aforementioned Fire-types as well as Electric-types like Magnezone and Raging Bolt. Skarmory and Gliscor set up entry hazards to help Dragonite in its wallbreaking. Additionally, Skarmory can wall physical attackers like Kingambit and Iron Boulder with Iron Defense and threaten them back with Body Press, while Gliscor aids in the Electric matchup thanks to its Ground typing. Zapdos makes for a great partner, as it can pivot Dragonite in with Volt Switch and take care of physically bulky threats like Amoonguss and Iron Defense Corviknight. Dragonite handles Iron Treads and Clodsire in return. Choice Scarf Enamorus is great speed control, as it takes care of faster threats that can threaten Dragonite like Dragapult, Garchomp, and Choice Specs Greninja. In return, Enamorus appreciates Dragonite taking out Steel-types like Gholdengo and Iron Treads with Earthquake and Fire Punch. Landorus, with its colorful coverage, takes out threats to Dragonite like Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, Gouging Fire, Kyurem, and Iron Defense Zamazenta. Dragonite's wallbreaking is appreciated by late-game sweepers like Galarian Moltres that take advantage of Dragonite removing its checks like Clodsire and Toxapex to set up and sweep.

Furthermore, a great ability in Multiscale allows it to survive super effective attacks from the likes of Iron Valiant and Hydreigon. Extreme Speed allows Dragonite to serve as a cleaner, easily sweeping through frail foes that don't resist it, and it also revenge kills boosted albeit weakened setup sweepers such as Volcarona and Gouging Fire. Outrage allows Dragonite to tear through teams that lack a proper answer to it like Normal and Water teams. Earthquake targets Steel- and Poison-types like Iron Treads, Heatran, and Toxapex. Fire Punch allows Dragonite to threaten foes that resist its Outrage and are immune to Earthquake like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Air Balloon Gholdengo.

Corviknight is an essential teammate for Dragonite, since it handles Rock- and Ice-types like Ogerpon-C and Chien-Pao with Iron Head, pivots it into Heatran and Cinderace, and it removes Stealth Rock with Defog that would otherwise wear Dragonite down over time and deactivate its Multiscale. In return, Corviknight appreciates Dragonite handling the aforementioned Fire-types. Skarmory and Gliscor set up entry hazards to help Dragonite in its wallbreaking.

Extreme Speed allows Dragonite to serve as a cleaner sweeper, easily sweeping through frail foes that don't resist it, and it also revenge kills boosted albeit weakened setup sweepers such as Volcarona and Gouging Fire. (While true, Dragonite is more of a sweeper when it uses Extreme Speed to wrap the game up) Outrage allows Dragonite to tear through teams that lack a proper answer to it like Normal and Water teams. (This is also true, but I feel like we could leave out Outrage here as it’s common STAB used on Choice Band Dragonite and most people know what it does and what it can hit.) Earthquake targets Steel- and Poison-types like Iron Treads Kingambit, Heatran, and Toxapex. (Kingambit won’t be able to KO Dragonite even after five of its teammates have fainted, and would have to worry about using Swords Dance. [252+ Atk Supreme Overlord 5 allies fainted Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 102-120 (31.5 - 37.1%) -- 80.8% chance to 3HKO] ) Fire Punch allows Dragonite to threaten foes that resist its Outrage and are immune to Earthquake like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Air Balloon Gholdengo.

Corviknight is an essential teammate for Dragonite, since it handles Rock-, Fairy-, and Ice-types like Ogerpon-C, Hatterene and Chien-Pao with Iron Head, pivots it Dragonite into Heatran and Cinderace, and it removes Stealth Rock entry hazards with Defog that would otherwise wear Dragonite down over time and deactivate its Multiscale. (Hatterene is a MAJOR threat to Dragonite, mentioning that Iron Head can KO her would be a big plus. So make sure you mention her too.) In return, Corviknight appreciates Dragonite handling the aforementioned Fire-types. (Feel free to also mention Electric-types that Dragonite can handle too, like as Rotom-W or H, Zapdos, and Raging Bolt for example if the QC allows you to.) Skarmory and Gliscor set up entry hazards to help Dragonite in its wallbreaking. Additionally, Skarmory can wall physical attackers like Kingambit and Iron Boulder with Iron Defense and threaten them back with Body Press, while Gliscor aids in the Electric matchup thanks to its Ground-typing, checking the likes of Magnezone and Raging Bolt. Zapdos makes for a great partner, as it can pivot Dragonite in with Volt Switch, and it can take care of physically bulky threats like Amoonguss and Iron Defense Corviknight. (Also mention how it’s Static ability can mess with opposing Pokemon too.) Dragonite handles Iron Treads and Clodsire in return. Choice Scarf Enamorus is great speed control, as it takes care of faster threats that can threaten Dragonite like Dragapult, Garchomp, and Greninja. In return, Enamorus appreciates Dragonite taking out Steel-types with Earthquake and Fire Punch. (Mention WHAT Steel-types threaten Enamorus, so that people can get an idea of what to be on the lookout for.) Landorus, with its colorful coverage, takes out threats to Dragonite like Gouging Fire, Kyurem, and Iron Defense Zamazenta. Dragonite's wallbreaking is appreciated by late-game sweepers like Galarian Moltres that take advantage of it removing its checks like Clodsire and Toxapex to set up and sweep. (Amazing job as always Daimyo. Wonderful analysis.)

- Generalize the part on pivoting as this reads imo that corvi is just sitting infront of the two and clicking U-turn. Just say provides pivoting with U-turn...

Additionally, Skarmory can wall physical attackers like Kingambit and Iron Boulder with Iron Defense and threaten them back with Body Press, while Gliscor aids in the Electric matchup thanks to its Ground-typing, checking the likes of Magnezone and Raging Bolt.

- Most Electric Mons is just fearing Dragonite to begin with due to begin with. I would just end it off after thanks to its ground typing so take off the examples. D nite destroys zone and outspeeds it and R Bolt is not koing it from full.

Choice Scarf Enamorus is great speed control, as it takes care of faster threats that can threaten Dragonite like Dragapult, Garchomp, and Greninja.

add Choice Specs infront of Greninja.
- Mention Enamorus providing H Wish support.

In return, Enamorus appreciates Dragonite taking out Steel-types like Gholdengo and Iron Treads with Earthquake and Fire Punch. Landorus, with its colorful coverage, takes out threats to Dragonite like Gouging Fire, Kyurem, and Iron Defense Zamazenta.

- add in Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine as well.

-Add in Articuno.
QC 1/1 also RodentTamer next time start a convo with me neko and giyu and post your check there first before posting it in the thread.
