[SET COMMENTS]

* Dragonite's good bulk gives it plenty of chances to set up Dragon Dance, while still providing a solid defensive backbone.

* Encore makes setting up on slower defensive foes such as Corviknight fairly easy.

Tera Types
========

* **Flying**: With Tera Blast, Tera Flying gives Dragonite a solid mono-attacking option and defensive typing in one, at the cost of always needing to Terastallize.

* **Steel**: Tera Steel covers Dragonite's former weaknesses very well, and can still work somewhat well even if not Terastallized thanks to Iron Head.

Items
========

* **Rocky Helmet**: Rocky Helmet lets Dragonite play more passively thanks to the chip damage.

* **Heavy-Duty Boots**: Preserving Multiscale even when Stealth Rock is set up can help Dragonite survive attacks in emergencies.

* **Leftovers**: Leftovers's passive healing gives Dragonite a better matchup against passive foes it can Encore.

EV Spreads
========

* **244 HP / 108 Def / 156 Spe with Impish**: This EV Spread allows Dragonite to outspeed Jolly Kingambit before boosting, and up to Timid Gengar after Dragon Dance, avoiding a potentially faster Encore. An odd HP number lets Dragonite switch into Stealth Rock four times if using Rocky Helmet.

* **244 HP / 4 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe with Jolly**: Maximizing Speed outspeeds Jolly Dragapult after a Dragon Dance, and at least speed ties with offensive Dragonite.

Nice, another week, another dnite set. This looks great, I'd point out too that 156 Speed on the Impish set outspeeds Jolly Kingambit by 2 points, putting it a bit higher but still in that crowded Speed tier of Skeledirge, Corviknight and Kingambit trying to one-up each other(before it DDs). QC Approved!

Oh good catch on the Jolly Kingambit, that's def worth pointing it out, added that in. Time for a GP check!

lol I did in fact mean 4 times, this is yet another consequence of 5 being next to 4 (and another reason why I should have written it out LOL). Anyways, this stuff is now implemented, time to put this onsite!
