Entei @ Assault Vest
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 8 HP / 164 Atk / 120 SpD / 216 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz / Sacred Fire
- Bulldoze
- Extreme Speed
- Eruption / Stone Edge

Entei has proven itself to be a powerful Pokemon in 1v1, matching up well versus many common Fairy-, Steel-, and Fire-types. Entei uses Inner Focus to avoid flinches from Togekiss and Intimidate from Arcanine. With these EVs, Entei outspeeds Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan and lives 2 Earth Powers from Heatran, KOing both in return. Entei’s preferred STAB move is Sacred Fire because of its high burn chance, notably improving its matchup versus Weakness Policy Metagross, but Flare Blitz is a fine alternative because of its higher base power and better accuracy, which helps against Aromatisse. Bulldoze and Extreme Speed together allow Entei to beat Heatran, as Extreme Speed pops its Air Balloon. Extreme Speed also provides utility for Entei because it nullifies Pokemon reliant on Custap Berry, such as Porygon-Z. For the last moveslot, Entei can run one of Eruption for Registeel and Avalugg or Stone Edge for Kee Berry Volcarona, Talonflame, and Rotom-H. Entei is commonly paired up with Fairy-, Water-, and Grass-types, such as Tapu Lele, Tapu Fini, Tapu Bulu, and Venusaur, because of their great type synergies.

Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz / Sacred Fire
- Bulldoze
- Extreme Speed
- Eruption / Stone Edge (I know it was slashed on the set but looking at it again I don’t think it is worth slashing over Eruption when you can beat Volcarona sets with Flare Blitz + Extreme Speed bar Kee Variants and Rotom-Heat isn’t common at all, just a grain of salt anyways)

Time and time again, Entei has proven itself to be a powerful Pokemon in 1v1, matching up well versus many common Fairy-, Steel-, and Fire-types. Entei uses the Inner Focus ability to be immune against Intimidate from Incineroar (rather niche to be honest and you don’t even beat it anyways to be a notable feature) and Arcanine as well as avoiding being flinched by Togekiss. With these EVs, Entei outspeeds Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan and lives 2 Earth Powers from Heatran, KOing both in return. Entei can run two different Fire STABs: the preferred option is Flare Blitz because of its high base power, notable versus Aromatisse, but Sacred Fire is a fine alternative because of its high burn chance, notable versus Weakness Policy Metagross. Bulldoze and Extreme Speed together allow Entei to beat Heatran, as Extreme Speed pops a potential Air Balloon on Heatran. Extreme Speed also provides utility for Entei because it nullifies strategies reliant on Pinch Berries. (Examples?) For the last moveslot, Entei can run one of Eruption for Registeel and Avalugg or Stone Edge for Kee Berry Volcarona (if u still choose to slash Stone Edge anyways) and Rotom-Heat. Entei is commonly seen paired up with Tapu Bulu, Venusaur, or Tapu Fini, as they both cover Entei’s weaknesses and benefit from Entei’s strengths.
Nice Job QC 1/1 when implemented

There's missing things thought I'd make a post + add pa stuff.

Put Sacred Fire as first slash and Blitz as second. (Talked w/ someone over it)

I'd keep Stone Edge since both options cover different niche stuff. Add tflame to stuff Stone Edge hits. Both Kee Volc and Tflame are popular due to Zygarde so hitting them can be worth.
Instead of Pinch Berries just say Custap cause that's the only slower pinch berry that matters, surely you espeed the faster mon on 1hp (idk if its worth mentioning that espeed is just nice prio to pick up weakened foes too). Ig custap PZ could be an example.

But eh Sacred Fire / Blitz none are really preferred tbh its just that both have pros and cons so don't mention which one is preferred. Sacred Fire is cool cause burn allowing it to beat like WP Gross and Zeraora but Blitz has 100% accuracy and high BP.

I would just say that Entei is commonly paired with Fairies, Entei+Lele/Fini/Bulu are a nice core, as they cover eachother weaknesses to an extent. Idt Venu is too relevant nowadays, but if anything you can also add that its paired with Waters and Grass forming Fwg cores but that's just nitpick and not really necessarily and entei+fini/bulu is fg or fw anyway, so maybe u can say preffers the latter as they have more typing synergy.

great job nwn
