Choice Scarf Koraidon is an excellent revenge killer, taking out non-Choice Scarf Koraidon and Miraidon, Iron Bundle outside of Electric Terrain, and Chi-Yu with ease. U-turn lets Koraidon generate momentum for its team thanks to the many switches it forces. Close Combat is Koraidon's strongest Fighting-type STAB move, but Collision Course avoids dropping defenses. Dragon Claw is a secondary STAB option that OHKOes opposing Koraidon and Miraidon, but Wild Charge hits Water-types such as Pelipper and Toxapex. Flare Blitz allows Koraidon to threaten Corviknight, Gholdengo, Flutter Mane, and Tera Fairy Miraidon. Tera Fire further boosts Flare Blitz while also thwarting Will-O-Wisp attempts from Skeledirge and letting Koraidon resist the common Fairy- and Ice-type moves aimed at it. Wallbreakers such as Chi-Yu, Great Tusk, Choice Band Chien-Pao, Choice Specs Walking Wake, and Miraidon make excellent partners for Koraidon, as it can bring them in safely with U-turn. Chi-Yu, Walking Wake, and Great Tusk especially enjoy Koraidon being able to set up sun for them, which boosts the former's Fire-type attacks and activates the latter two's Protosynthesis. Koraidon also appreciates having hazard removal options in Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight to avoid being too quickly worn down by the combination of entry hazards damage, Flare Blitz recoil, and Rocky Helmet damage from common Koraidon checks. In addition, defensive counterplay in the form of bulky Pokemon such as Corviknight, Ting-Lu, Iron Treads, Toxapex, or Clodsire is required to handle Pokemon that Koraidon cannot outspeed and reliably revenge kill, such as Flame Charge Koraidon, Iron Bundle under Electric Terrain, Agility Miraidon, Ice Shard Chien-Pao, and Flutter Mane.
