Regidrago @ Life Orb / Dragon Fang
Ability: Dragon's Maw
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ghost / Steel
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

- Earth Power

Regidrago is one of the strongest spread sweepers in Regulation F! Its STAB moves threaten an OHKO on two of the most important Pokemon in the format, Raging Bolt and Urshifu-R. Earth Power provides coverage for Steel-types like Gholdengo and Iron Crown. Life Orb increases the chance for Draco Meteor to OHKO several Pokemon, like Ogerpon-W, Tornadus, and Raging Bolt. Regidrago can weaken teams with Dragon Energy then start using Draco Meteor once Life Orb recoil has considerably lowered Dragon Energy's damage. Tera Ghost lets it avoid Fake Out and Extreme Speed, whereas Tera Steel provides a better defensive profile, flipping the type advantage against Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao. Offensive Steel-type partners like Gholdengo and Iron Crown handle Fairy-types like Flutter Mane, which stop Regidrago from sweeping with Dragon Energy. Urshifu-R and Iron Crown can OHKO Chien-Pao through its Focus Sash. Prankster Tailwind users like Tornadus and Whimsicott make up for Regidrago's middling Speed. Follow Me support from Indeedee-F and the Ogerpon formes is important to keep both Regidrago's HP and Dragon Energy's damage high, and Indeedee-F prevents it from needing Tera Ghost to stop Fake Out cycling.

think I'm ready for QC, hope it isn't too short, tagging RauSakura but I'm fine with whoever does QC. I kept finding Life Orb calcs that are just ~50% chance to OHKO with Draco Meteor:

252 SpA Dragon Fang Dragon's Maw Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 228 HP / 12 SpD Ogerpon-Wellspring: 169-201 (91.8 - 109.2%) -- 56.25% chance to OHKO

252 SpA Dragon Fang Dragon's Maw Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 132 SpD Tornadus: 171-202 (91.9 - 108.6%) -- 56.25% chance to OHKO

252 SpA Dragon Fang Dragon's Maw Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera-Electric Raging Bolt: 183-216 (91.5 - 108%) -- 43.75% chance to OHKO
 
QCing since this has been sitting for a while, apologies for the wait Prosetti. I would like to recheck this to ensure the changes are correct and to help cut down character count assuming this spotlight inflates a lot.

Regidrago is one of the strongest spread sweepers in Regulation F! Dragon Energy and Draco Meteor threaten an OHKO on two of the most common Pokemon in the format, Describing them as common pokemon in the format discredits how metagame defining they are, try to reword this Raging Bolt and the Urshifu formes. Earth Power provides coverage for Steel-types like Gholdengo and Iron Crown. Life Orb increases the chance to OHKO several Pokemon with Draco Meteor Mention what pokemon Life Orb lets Regidrago KO (Refering to your previous reply: 252 SpA Life Orb Dragon's Maw Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 228 HP / 12 SpD Ogerpon-Wellspring: 185-218 (100.5 - 118.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO), at the risk of lowering HP and thus Dragon Energy’s damage output I don't like this mention, Dragon Energy isn't massively affected by the Life Orb recoil (Life Orb Dragon Energy at 90% HP only deals about 2% less damage than full HP Dragon Fang), you should however talk about the synergy between them where Regidrago deals a lot of damage with Dragon Energy at first then switches to Draco Meteor as its power decreases. Tera Ghost avoids Fake Out and Extreme Speed, whereas Tera Steel provides a better defensive profile, flipping the type advantage against Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao. Offensive Steel-type partners like Gholdengo and Iron Crown handle opposing Fairy-types like Flutter Mane which stop Regidrago from sweeping with Dragon Energy. Tailwind users like Tornadus and Whimsicott make up for Regidrago’s middling Speed. Follow Me support from Indeedee-F and the Ogerpon formes is important to keep Regidrago’s HP high and Dragon Energy’s damage up. These last few sentences are good however you need to emphasise Regidrago's weaknesses and checks more and then you can mention partners which can help Regidrago beat them
 
This looks good to me now, since it's a spotlight you don't want/need to include every detail. Send to GP after these final edits! 1/1
