Overview
is a solid lower tier mon in most past gens, with UUBL in gens 2 and 3 being its highest point. However, it has been much better (compared to the power creep) since gen 6, where it gained the ability to use Sacred Fire, a base 100 physical attack that has a 50% chance to burn, to disrupt and annoy physical attackers. Honestly, 
overshadowed it gen 5 and previous without Sacred Fire, but the three big additions to its movepool: Extreme Speed and Flare Blitz in Gen 4 and Sacred Fire in Gen 6. Do not forget that Entei jumped from RU to UU in between gens 5 and 6, showing how strong Sacred Fire is considering most mons 4 gens after their release are only going down. However, this mon is quite weird, with many better special than physical moves and calm mind.
Set Ideas
BANDED BOY
Entei @ Choice Band
Ability: Inner Focus
Tera Type: Fire/Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Extreme Speed
- Stone Edge/Stomping Tantrum/Flare Blitz
- Stone Edge/Stomping Tantrum/Flare Blitz
Sacred Fire and Extreme Speed are essentials for the banded set, and stone edge/stomping tantrum are used for coverage. Why stomping tantrum? Because of
. You can opt for a tera normal set to be a budget Dragonite as well. Inner Focus gets some work to stop intimidate but otherwise...
Physical Wall
Entei @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Extreme Speed/Will-O-Wisp
- Sacred Fire
- Protect
- Roar
Entei can run maximum bulk with burning capabilities to shut down many physical attackers. Pressure is used here to help with PP stall.
Special Sun
Entei @ IDK man choose what you want
Ability: Inner Focus
Tera Type: IDK
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eruption
- Solar Beam
- Scorching Sands
- Weather Ball/Flamethrower/Heat Wave
Entei cannot seem to choose what it wants to be, with great special moves but a low stat. We put that indecisiveness to use with eruption, solar beam, scorching sands and weather ball, flamethrower or heat wave for consistently high damage.
Closing Thoughts
Entei is outclassed by Gouging Fire, no contest. However, this may be a prominent force, either as a wall or an attacker, in lower tiers and I can see some lure special sets being used for this.
