Koraidon is one of the best setup sweepers thanks to its perfect coverage and good Speed tier. Scale Shot, when paired with Loaded Dice, gives Koraidon an incredibly strong Dragon-type STAB attack that lets it outspeed Zacian-C and Calyrex-S and break Eternatus, Giratina-O, Skeledirge, and Toxapex. Flare Blitz is Koraidon's best way of hitting Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S. Low Kick is Koraidon's most spammable move, being 120 Base Power against most of the metagame without the drawback of Close Combat, and it threatens Arceus. Tera Fire gives Koraidon a Fairy-type resistance, letting it beat both Arceus-Fairy and Zacian-C, gives Koraidon a Will-O-Wisp immunity, and increases Flare Blitz's damage output. Tera Ghost gives Koraidon an immunity to Extreme Speed. Koraidon fits best on offensive teams, where it can break through physical walls for its teammates. Teammates like Zacian-C and Arceus can bait out Terastallization, making it easier for Koraidon to sweep. In return, Koraidon can break through physical walls such as Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Landorus-T for them, as it 2HKOes all three with Scale Shot. Koraidon is reliant on Scale Shot's Speed boost to avoid being revenge killed by Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, and Choice Scarf Koraidon, so having teammates that can take advantage of Fairy-types that switch into Koraidon, such as Landorus-T and Skeledirge for Zacian-C and Zacian-C and Toxapex for Arceus-Fairy, are appreciated. Finally, Scale Shot's Defense drop means that Koraidon is susceptible to priority such as Arceus's Extreme Speed. As such, Pokemon that can switch into Arceus, such as Landorus-T and Zacian-C, and Pokemon that can break through it, such as Life Orb Calyrex-S, are appreciated.

Koraidon is one of the best setup sweepers thanks to its perfect coverage and blazing fast speed tier. Scale Shot, when paired with Loaded Dice, gives Koraidon an incredibly strong Dragon-type STAB attack that lets Koraidon outspeed Zacian-C and Calyrex-S (i'd also mention its koraidons only way of hitting gira etern on the set). Flare Blitz is Koraidon's best way of hitting Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S, OHKOing the former at +2 with entry hazards, and OHKOing the other two without any boosts. Low Kick is Koraidon's most spammable move, being a consistent 120 Base Power against the majority of the metagame, and threatens Arceus. Tera Fire gives Koraidon a Fairy-type resistance, letting Koraidon set up on both Arceus-Fairy and Zacian-C, while also giving Koraidon a burn immunity. Tera Ghost gives Koraidon a Fairy-type neutrality while also making it immune to Extreme Speed. Koraidon is an incredibly threatening sweeper that fits best on offensive teams, where it can break through physical walls more easily for its teammates. Koraidon's coverage is technically perfect, but it faces difficulty when the opponent's Terastallization has not been used. As such, having teammates like Zacian-C and Arceus to bait out Terastallization makes it easier for Koraidon to set up an endgame. Koraidon can also break through physical walls for them such as Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Landorus-T for them, as Koraidon can 2HKO all three with Scale Shot. Koraidon is also reliant on Scale Shot's speed boost to avoid being revenge killed by Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, Flutter Mane, and Scarf Koraidon, so having teammates that can take advantage of Fairy-types hard switching into Koraidon is appreciated (some examples?). Finally, Scale Shot's defense drop means that Koraidon is susceptible to priority such as Arceus' Extreme Speed and Kingambit's Sucker Punch. As such, Pokemon that can pivot into these such as Landorus-T and Zacian-C, and Pokemon that can trade with these such as Calyrex-S are appreciated.

Koraidon is one of the best setup sweepers thanks to its perfect coverage and blazing this is an overstatement, it's fast but not that fast fast speed tier. Scale Shot, when paired with Loaded Dice, gives Koraidon an incredibly strong Dragon-type STAB attack that lets Koraidon outspeed Zacian-C and Calyrex-S, while providing it with an attack to break Eternatus and Giratina-O I feel like mentioning Skeledirge and Toxapex is important too. Flare Blitz is Koraidon's best way of hitting Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S, OHKOing the former at +2 with entry hazards, and OHKOing the other two without any boosts. Low Kick is Koraidon's most spammable move, being a consistent 120 Base Power against the majority of the metagame I think this is unnecessary, maybe explain why it's preferred over other fighting STAB options, and threatens Arceus. Tera Fire gives Koraidon a Fairy-type resistance, letting Koraidon set up on beat both Arceus-Fairy and Zacian-C, while also giving Koraidon a burn Will-O-Wisp immunity definitely mention increasing Flare Blitz damage. Tera Ghost gives Koraidon a Fairy-type neutrality while also making it immune to Extreme Speed the fairy neutrality isn't too important, put more emphasis on the espeed immunity. Koraidon is an incredibly threatening sweeper that you said this at the beginning fits best on offensive teams, where it can break through physical walls more easily this makes it seem like Koraidon is magically doing more damage for its teammates. Koraidon's coverage is technically perfect, but it faces difficulty when the opponent's Terastallization has not been used the prose is kinda clunky here, maybe rework it. As such, having teammates Teammates like Zacian-C and Arceus to can bait out Terastallization makes making it easier for Koraidon to set up an endgame sweep. Koraidon can also break through physical walls for them such as Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Landorus-T for them, as Koraidon can 2HKO all three with Scale Shot. Koraidon is also reliant on Scale Shot's speed boost to avoid being revenge killed by Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, Flutter Mane, (RC) and Scarf Koraidon, so having teammates that can take advantage of Fairy-types hard switching that switch into Koraidon, such as Landorus-T and Skeledirge for Zacian-C and Zacian-C and Toxapex for Arceus-Fairy and Flutter Mane, are appreciated. Finally, Scale Shot's defense drop means that Koraidon is susceptible to priority such as Arceus' Extreme Speed and Kingambit's Sucker Punch I really don't think Kingambit is worth mentioning here, especially with Koraidon's dark resistance. As such, Pokemon that can pivot into these such as Landorus-T and Zacian-C, and Pokemon that can trade with these such as Calyrex-S are appreciated this is vaguely worded and confusing.

Koraidon is one of the best setup sweepers thanks to its perfect coverage and good speed Speed tier. Scale Shot, when paired with Loaded Dice, gives Koraidon an incredibly strong Dragon-type STAB attack that lets Koraidon it outspeed Zacian-C and Calyrex-S, (comma) while providing it with an attack to and break Eternatus, Giratina-O, Skeledirge, and Toxapex. Flare Blitz is Koraidon's best way of hitting Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S, (comma) OHKOing the former at +2, and OHKOing the other two without any boosts. (Flare Blitz doesn't OHKO super bulky Arceus-Fairy and is a roll to OHKO Calyrex-S, so I would just stop the sentence at Calyrex-S.) Low Kick is Koraidon's most spammable move, being a consistent 120 Base Power against most of the metagame without the drawback of Close Combat, and it threatens Arceus. Tera Fire gives Koraidon a Fairy-type resistance, letting Koraidon it beat both Arceus-Fairy and Zacian-C, while also giving gives Koraidon a Will-O-Wisp immunity, (comma) while increasing and increases Flare Blitz's damage output. Tera Ghost gives Koraidon an immunity to Extreme Speed. Koraidon fits best on offensive teams, where it can break through physical walls for its teammates. Koraidon's coverage is technically perfect, but it has trouble breaking when the opponent has not used Terastallization. (you already mention the perfect coverage and the next sentence implies Koraidon has a tougher time when Tera hasn't been used) Teammates like Zacian-C and Arceus can bait out Terastallization, (comma) making it easier for Koraidon to sweep. In return, Koraidon can also break through physical walls for them such as Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Landorus-T for them, as Koraidon can 2HKO it 2HKOes all three with Scale Shot. Koraidon is also reliant on Scale Shot's speed Speed boost to avoid being revenge killed by Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, and Choice Scarf Koraidon, so having teammates that can take advantage of Fairy-types that switch into Koraidon, such as Landorus-T and Skeledirge for Zacian-C and Zacian-C and Toxapex for Arceus-Fairy, are appreciated. Finally, Scale Shot's defense Defense drop means that Koraidon is susceptible to priority such as Arceus' Arceus's Extreme Speed. As such, Pokemon that can pivot switch into Arceus, such as Landorus-T and Zacian-C, or and Pokemon that can break through it, such as Life Orb Calyrex-S, are appreciated.
