where did you even get the idea I'm using hydreigon to fight fairies when I have said absolutely nothing of the sort? how could you possibly infer that from what you quoted? when it comes to steels earth power is better than dark pulse, it hits heatran much harder(and empoleon if you ever see...

there is no reason to ever use dark pulse on any steel types, ever. you are wasting a move slot for no benefit. earth power or fire blast will always do more damage with the sole exception of jirachi, who is going to struggle as a hydreigon counter anyway. I'd rather use charge beam...

azumarill resists dark pulse. it doesn't really offer anything in coverage as gengar is already frail and fire blast will take out aegislash just as effectively. the only way for hydreigon to beat azumarill is a risky charge beam set. earth power and fireblast hits every steel/fairy but a lot...

dark coverage isn't even needed on hydreigon. the combination of fire+water/ground hits every steel type and fairies already resist dark so it's not going to improve your coverage at all. that lets you carry either draco meteor or roost instead, depending on your needs. I think roost would be...

it has a water move in surf, same as latias

I'm not really sure what the difference between minimize and swagger is. they both rely excessively on luck.

hp:ground might be a better move for hitting steels as it hits heatran as hard as focus blast, hits aegislash, and won't miss. it learns thunderbolt but you probably won't be seeing skarmory switch into gardevoir too often.

it seems like bulky latios or hydreigon would outperform that set. 100 spa isn't bad, but hydreigon has 125 and the exact same coverage.

It's a bit frustrating how prevalent rotom-W is. it does so much, and on top of that one particularly nasty pair-up I have found is with entei. between the two they can beat every burn absorber except guts conkledurr. rotom-w takes out any fire types and starmie, entei can beat all the grass...

it also cripples your heatran since you have 1) no hold item 2) 3 move slots solar beam/power herb is never worth carrying

what an awkward typo

I have always enjoyed HP: ground on superachi! as a +1 252 spa jirachi can ohko both of its 'surefire' counters in magnetzone and heatran(heatran only has a 44% chance of surviving with 252 hp EVs), and more importantly a +1 spd jirachi is not ko'd by scarf heatran's fire blast which will...

couldn't damp rock be used over leftovers in that set? having to set up rain less often means more boosts and more chances to use rest it could also be paired very well with goodra who resists grass and electric and can run hydration, or even sap sipper

things surviving to hit you back can be considered a form of recoil

fire punch is 30 bp below flare blitz with iron fist, wouldn't seem worth running even without the recoil
