[SET COMMENTS]
This set allows Hydreigon to act as an all out attacker and wallbreaker. STAB Draco Meteor boosted by Choice Specs gives Hydreigon the power to hit the entire metagame, bar Fairy- and Steel-types, for massive damage.Flash Cannon and Flamethrower allow Hydreigon to hit the aforementioned types for super effective damage. Getting Hydreigon in as much as possible early- and mid-game will allow it to more effectively weaken the opposing team's defensive cores.

Tyranitar is an amazing teammate for Hydreigon due to its reliable speed control in Thunder Wave and its ability to set up Stealth Rock. Tyranitar's rock typing means that it can tank Ice-type attacks directed at Hydreigon. Mandibuzz is able to survive powerful Fighting-type attacks from Pokemon such as Hawlucha and Barraskewda and can bring Hydreigon in safely with U-turn. Weavile is a great teammate for Choice Specs Hydreigon due to its ability to KO fast Dragon-types such as Dragapult and Noivern. Bisharp can help deal with specially bulky Fairy-types that Hydreigon struggles against.

[Izaya]

- Combine Flash Cannon and Flamethrower lines into one about hitting the mentioned types that resist Draco Meteor.
- Talk about trying to get Hydreigon into play as much as possible early- to mid-game.

- Second paragraph feels a bit too heavy at the moment. I know why Tyranitar ending rain is relevant but when rain isn't mentioned anywhere else as a threat you can just leave that bit out. Instead talk about Tyranitar's Thunder Wave + Stealth Rock benefitting Hydreigon.

"Mandibuzz is able to survive powerful fighting type attacks from Pokemon such as Hawlucha and Berraskewda, and can get rid of stealth rocks with defog."
- Instead, talk about Mandibuzz being able to bring Hydreigon in safely with U-turn.

"In return, Hydreigon can force out the utility Pokémon that Mandibuzz can’t touch, such as Ferrothorn and Clefable. "
- Unnecessary imo.

"Priority users such as Sucker Punch Bisharp, Ice Shard Weavile, and Aqua Jet Crawdaunt can revenge kill powerful Dynamax Pokemon that outspeed Hydreigon."
- I don't see how weak priority is revenging a Dynamax Pokemon with double its normal HP. Honestly just remove this sentence since you bring these Pokemon up again later.

"Tyranitar’s sizeable special bulk means it can tank a Moonblast from Gardevior, and threaten it with Stone Edge."
- Remove.

1/2

 

[Havens]

-Fire Blast works fine as a slashed option behind Flamethrower.
-Yeah the last two sentences aren't really helping anything; I understand what you're trying to say but the writing is too ambiguous/awkward here and you don't exactly address how Bisharp/Crawdaunt really deal with them. Best to remove the last two sentences entirely.
-Despite the last two sentences, a general statement about Bisharp being a good teammate suffices here.
-"Barraskewda", not "Berraskewda"

Implement the check carefully before putting this in GP; that is all.
