[SET COMMENTS]
Dragonite is one of the most formidable setup sweepers in the metagame, capable of unleashing incredibly powerful Pixilate-boosted Extreme Speeds, further amplified by Dragon Dance. Additionally, it boasts exceptional coverage options to deal with foes that can safely switch into its Extreme Speed. Fire Punch is the preferred coverage move to handle Magearna and Corviknight. Alternatively, Earthquake deals more damage to Magearna, Pecharunt, and Garganacl, but is completely walled by their Latiasite variants of the former two, as well as setup Corviknight. Waterfall, on the other hand, hits all the aforementioned foes reliably, albeit weakly, along with dealing super effective damage to Ho-Oh, and can also be used to fish for flinches in dicey situations. Roost is nearly essential to provide Dragonite with reliable recovery, although it may utilize Facade in heavily offensive teams to severely punish attempts to burn it by foes like Milotic, Ho-Oh and Arceus-Formes, as well as turn the tables against Gyaradosite Pecharunt when Toxiced. The Speed evs allows it to outspeed uninvested Manectite Magearna. Dragonite can fit seamlessly into various offense and balance teams, where it can serve as a potent revenge killer and sweeper. Pairing it with entry hazard setters such as Magearna, Great Tusk, and Swampert applies immense offensive pressure on the opponent as Dragonite spams Extreme Speed. Similarly, entry hazard removers like Great Tusk and Corviknight are amazing allies, allowing it to avoid getting easily chipped and preventing Multiscale from turning off pre-Mega Evolution. Dragonite is vulnerable to other Altarianite Extreme Speed users, such as Entei, Hisuian Arcanine, and Regieleki, making resists like Defensive Eternatus and Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk excellent pairing options. Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk also applies pressure on Magearna and Pecharunt, two of Dragonite's most troublesome walls. Dragonite can take full advantage of dual screens to set-up and turn into a devastating sweeper, making dual screen setters such as Deoxys-Speed and Regieleki great pairs.

Alternatively, Earthquake deals more damage to Magearna, Pecharunt, and Garganacl, but is completely walled by Latiasite variants of the former two, as well as Corviknight. Waterfall, on the other hand, hits all the aforementioned foes for neutral damage and can be used to fish for flinches in dicey situations. Roost is nearly essential to provide Dragonite with reliable recovery, although it may utilize Facade in heavily offensive teams to severely punish attempts to burn it by foes like Milotic and Arceus-Formes iirc this should be just Arceus formes but I will let QC 2 or GP weigh in before making that change, as well as turn the tables against Gyaradosite Pecharunt when Toxiced. Dragonite can be seamlessly fit seamlessly into various Offense and Balance teams, where it can serve as a potent revenge killer and sweeper. Pairing it with hazard setters such as Magearna and Great Tusk applies immense offensive pressure on the opponent as Dragonite spams Extreme Speed. Similarly, hazard removers like Great Tusk and Glalitite Regieleki Corviknight are amazing allies, allowing it to avoid getting easily chipped and preventing Multiscale from turning off pre-Mega. Dragonite is vulnerable to other Altarianite Extreme Speed users, such as Entei, Arcanine-Hisui, and Regieleki, making resists like Defensive Eternatus and Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk excellent pairing options.

Waterfall, on the other hand, hits all the aforementioned foes for neutral damage Garganacl gets hit super effectively and can be used to fish for flinches in dicey situations mention how it hits Ho-oh (common Dragonite check) for super effective damage. Roost is nearly essential to provide Dragonite with reliable recovery, although it may utilize Facade in heavily offensive teams to severely punish attempts to burn it by foes like Milotic and Arceus-Formes also mention Ho-oh here, as well as turn the tables against Gyaradosite Pecharunt when Toxiced. Dragonite can fit seamlessly into various Offense and Balance teams, where it can serve as a potent revenge killer and sweeper. Pairing it with hazard setters such as Magearna and Great Tusk I would also mention Swampert here for more offensive teams but your call applies immense offensive pressure on the opponent as Dragonite spams Extreme Speed.
