Entei is a phenomenal wallbreaker that can eviscerate common Pokemon like Bisharp, Jirachi, and Slither Wing. Extreme Speed is used to help Entei pick off faster Pokemon, such as weakened Noivern, Cyclizar, and Choice Scarf Krookodile. It's especially useful against more offensive teams, being able to revenge kill foes like Weak Armor Armarouge, Dragon Dance Salamence, and Barraskewda after some chip damage. Stone Edge hits targets such as Volcanion, Armarouge, and Salamence. Crunch is used to target Slowbro, which would otherwise come in comfortably. Double-Edge can be substituted for Crunch, granting Entei the opportunity to hit foes that resist its Fire-type STAB moves like Gastrodon, Suicune, and Cyclizar harder. Choice Band is usually preferred, as it gives Entei the opportunity to OHKO foes like Noivern with Stone Edge. Heavy-Duty Boots is good for teams that lack entry hazard removal, in exchange for being weaker than Choice Band. On Choice Band sets, Tera Normal boosts Extreme Speed to secure a 2HKO on faster foes like Noivern. Tera Normal also provides decent defensive utility, providing an immunity to Ghost-type STAB moves from the likes of Gengar and Mimikyu. Tera Normal grants Entei the opportunity to 2HKO targets such as Slowbro and Suicune, which would otherwise come in comfortably on Entei, with Choice Band-boosted Double-Edge. Tera Dark can also be used to further boost the power of Choice Band Entei's Crunch, being able to cleanly 2HKO maximum Defense Slowbro while also being able to OHKO Basculegion-F and Armarouge.
Entei is an excellent fit on balance and bulky offense teams, as they appreciate its ability to dispatch common threats, spread burns, and provide strong priority. Pokemon such as Krookodile and Bisharp appreciate Entei's ability to directly threaten bulky Pokemon such as Chesnaught and Slither Wing, in addition to possibly crippling Hippowdon and Rhyperior with burn from Sacred Fire. This opens up teammates such as Choice Scarf Krookodile and Bisharp to sweep. In return, Krookodile sets Stealth Rock and utilizes Knock Off to help wear down Pokemon that like to come in on Entei, such as Slowbro, while Bisharp directly threatens Slowbro and can blow holes in the opposing team to allow Entei a clean sweep late-game. Bisharp has the ability to threaten faster Pokemon that Entei is vulnerable to like Gengar with its Sucker Punch. Special attackers like Gardevoir and Basculeigon-F pair well with Entei, as it can deal significant damage to their checks such as Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon. Choice Band Entei can struggle to get in if Stealth Rock is up, so it appreciates hazard removal from Pokemon such as Cyclizar and Galarian Weezing. In addition to this, Cyclizar brings Entei in safely against Pokemon that like to come in on it, such as Mamoswine and Chesnaught, which Entei takes advantage of. Entei also appreciates entry hazard support from Pokemon such as Jirachi and Chesnaught. This helps weaken checks such as Slowbro and Hippowdon and weakens other Pokemon to be picked off with Extreme Speed. Jirachi also provides U-turn, which allows Entei to come in safely against foes such as Registeel.
