[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Koraidon is one of the best revenge killers in the metagame. Flare Blitz hits Arceus-Fairy, Calyrex-S, and Zacian-C. Low Kick threatens Arceus and Ting-Lu and is Koraidon's preferred STAB move for its 120 Base Power against the majority of the metagame without Close Combat's downside. Outrage and Dragon Claw both OHKO Miraidon and opposing Koraidon, but Outrage is preferred for its ability to 2HKO Toxapex and Skeledirge, though it lets any remaining Fairy-types easily revenge kill Koraidon. An Adamant nature allows Choice Scarf Koraidon to 2HKO Arceus-Fairy after Stealth Rock and always OHKO Calyrex-S. Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz's power to insane levels, gives Koraidon a Will-O-Wisp immunity, and allows it to resist attacks from Arceus-Fairy and Zacian-C. Tera Ghost makes Koraidon immune to Extreme Speed, letting it more effectively serve as an Extreme Killer Arceus check. Koraidon can use U-turn to safely pivot in Pokemon like Calyrex-S and Calm Mind Arceus-Ground, which threaten its checks such as Toxapex and Skeledirge. Teammates like Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Arceus can weaken Koraidon's checks and potentially bait out Terastallization, enabling Koraidon to clean up late-game. Defensive teammates like Ting-Lu and Landorus-T are appreciated. Ting-Lu checks Choice Scarf users faster than Koraidon, such as Calyrex-S and Miraidon, and provides entry hazard support. Landorus-T offers immense utility via U-turn, bringing pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus-Ground and Calyrex-S in to threaten Koraidon's checks. Rocky Helmet also helps to chip opposing Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Extreme Killer Arceus to bring them into Low Kick range.

Scarf Koraidon is one of the best revenge killers in the meta. U-turn offers Koraidon immense utility and provides invaluable momentum is this really necessary? everyone should know what U-turn does. Flare Blitz allows Koraidon to hits through the likes of Arceus-Fairy, Calyrex-Shadow and Zacian-C I feel like this list should be reordered. Adamant nature allows Scarf Koraidon to 2HKO Offensive Arceus-Fairy, and always OHKOes OHKOing Calyrex-S and Zacian-C. Low Kick is Koraidon’s most spammable STAB, while being 120 base power against the majority of the meta, threatens Arceus too a lot of this is unnecessary and Ting-Lu definitely needs to be mentioned as a target. Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz to respectable levels this is a massive understatement, while giving Koraidon a burn Will-O-Wisp immunity. It also allows Koraidon to pivot in on the likes of Arceus-Fairy without Earth Power and Zacian-C this isn't very true to how it's likely to be used in a match, and can probably be combined with the prior sentence. Tera Ghost gives Koraidon neutrality to Dragon and Fairy-types while also this isn't very important making makes it immune to Extreme Speed go into more detail why this matters. Outrage allows it to OHKO opposing dragons in Miraidon and Koraidon and it also helps in doing a decent amount of damage to Skeledirge and Toxapex you don't need to explain why having a dragon stab is good, go into more detail why Outrage is preferred over Dragon Claw. Alternatively, Dragon Claw can be run instead of Outrage for a bit more longevity this can be combined with the prior sentence. Koraidon really likes teammates which put pressure on its checks. This includes the likes of Calyrex-Shadow, Calm Mind Arceus-Ground and Fairy, Zacian-C and Arceus to bait terastallization. All these annoy Koraidon’s checks, which makes Koraidon clean up in an endgame. Defensively, the likes of Ting-Lu and Landorus-Therian are appreciated because of entry hazards and Taunt taunt. I'm not a fan of the prose in these last few sentences, it's vague and difficult to comprehend

Choice Scarf Koraidon is one of the best revenge killers in the meta metagame. Flare Blitz hits (there was an extra space here) Arceus-Fairy, Calyrex-Shadow Calyrex-S, and Zacian-C. Low Kick threatens Arceus and Ting-Lu and is Koraidon’s most spammable STAB, while Koraidon's preferred STAB move for being 120 base power Base Power against the majority of the meta, threatens Arceus and Ting-Lu too. metagame without Close Combat's downside. (I think explaining why it's the preferred STAB move is more useful than just saying it's spammable) Outrage allows it to OHKO opposing dragons in Miraidon and Koraidon and it also helps in doing a decent amount of damage to Skeledirge and Toxapex. Outrage is preferred over Dragon Claw due to the fact that it offers better offensive pressure compared to Dragon Claw. Alternatively, Dragon Claw can be run instead of Outrage for a bit more longevity. Outrage and Dragon Claw both OHKO Miraidon and opposing Koraidon, but Outrage is preferred for its ability to 2HKO Toxapex and Skeledirge, though it lets any remaining Fairy-types easily revenge kill Koraidon. (I think this more accurately and concisely contrasts the two moves) An Adamant nature allows Scarf Koraidon to 2HKO Arceus-Fairy after Stealth Rock, (comma) and always OHKOes OHKO Calyrex-S and Zacian-C. (Jolly OHKOes Zacian-C too) Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz to respectable insane (Flare Blitz is pretty respectable even before Terastallizing) levels, while giving gives Koraidon a Will-O-Wisp immunity. It also immunity, and allows Koraidon to pivot in on the likes of resist attacks from Arceus-Fairy and Zacian-C. (Koraidon isn't really going to be switching in like that) Tera Ghost makes it Koraidon immune to Extreme Speed, this helps it to letting it more effectively serve as an Ekiller Extreme Killer check. Koraidon really likes teammates which put pressure on its checks. This includes the likes of Calyrex-Shadow, Calm Mind Arceus-Ground and Fairy, Zacian-C and Arceus to bait terastallization. All these annoy Koraidon’s checks, which makes Koraidon clean up in an endgame. Koraidon can use U-turn to safely pivot in Pokemon like Calyrex-S and Calm Mind Arceus-Ground, which threaten its checks such as Toxapex and Skeledirge. Teammates like Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Arceus can weaken Koraidon's checks and potentially bait out Terastallization, enabling it to clean up late-game. (something like this is clearer and puts some focus on Koraidon's pivoting capabilities) Defensively, the likes of Ting-Lu and Landorus-T are appreciated because of entry hazards and Taunt. Ting-Lu checks Choice Scarf users faster than Koraidon, such as Calyrex-S and Miraidon, and provides entry hazard support. (just focusing on entry hazards isn't particularly useful; all attackers appreciate them)

Landorus-T offers immense utility via U-turn, helping pokemon bringing Pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus-Ground and Calyrex-S to pivot in,(RC) which to threaten Koraidon's checks. Rocky Helmet also helps to chip opposing Koraidon, Zacian-C,(AC) and Extreme Killer .(RP) Koraidon really appreciates this since it brings all of pokemon mentioned Arceus to bring them into Low Kick range.
