Huh? When has Dragonite ever hit harder? Dragonite's niche over Salamence will always be it's defenses. Sticking LO on a Multi-Scale Poke is near pointless because you're going to be trying to...

Anything he says about usefulness of Poison Jab is absolutely disregarded due to his ignorance and belief that Sucker Punch will always be used 8 times consecutively.

It's funny how the same logic you use to take down Haxorous via entry hazard damage and aggressive play can also be the downfall to Skarmory. You can easily predict Skarmory switches with Magnezone....

While Shed Shell Skarmory would escape Magnezone, I'm not too sure if it's all that better at taking on Haxorous so you might be fighting a losing battle anyways. Always taking 12% from SR with no...

So what if it's a 4HKO? Gliscor can't do enough in return fast enough and will still end up losing. Accounting for it's 12%, you're still taking 27% every turn. You're using one of those turn to...

If you haven't run calcs, then don't speak on the matter. If Chansey has Toxic, it loses to Azelf, and you should be looking elsewhere (Umbreon/Victini) in trying to stop it.

It might not matter if you outspeed it or if you resist its attack if you're unable to OHKO. The main threat isn't Iron Head directly, it's getting paralyzed and then Iron Head fucked.
