Archaludon @ Leftovers
Ability: Stamina

- Flash Cannon
- Body Press
- Stealth Rock

Archaludon outlasts its foes with its impenetrable defenses and never-ending stamina! Draco Meteor takes out opposing Dragon-types like Latias and Kyurem, while Thunderbolt threatens Skarmory, Corviknight, and Azumarill. Flash Cannon eliminates Fairy-types such as Hatterene, Mimikyu, and Alolan Ninetales. Body Press capitalizes on the Defense boosts from Stamina to deal with Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Stealth Rock provides pressure against Pokemon like Kyurem and Greninja, which often overpower Archaludon with their Choice Specs sets. The given EV spread allows Archaludon to survive a Draco Meteor from Modest Raging Bolt and outpace Adamant Kingambit and Azumarill. Latias offers a Ground-type immunity and handles Clodsire, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk, as well as boasting utility support via Healing Wish to give Archaludon a second chance late-game. Gouging Fire is an excellent teammate to soak up moves from Iron Valiant and Iron Hands, absorb Will-O-Wisp from Sableye and Rotom-W, and deal with Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Spectrier.

Archaludon outlasts its foes with its impenetrable defences and never-ending stamina, reigning over the Monotype metagame as an indomitable wall! Draco Meteor takes out opposing Dragon-types like Baxcalibur, Choice Scarf Dragapult, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon(Wanted to add that as both can run specs set which just deletes us.) while Thunderbolt threatens Skarmory, Barraskewda Primarina(3hko + itll just Calm Mind up and D kiss.), and Gyarados. Flash Cannon elliminates Fairy- and Ice-types such as Iron Valiant, Avalugg, and Alolan Ninetales. Body Press capitalizes on Defence boosts from Stamina to deal with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Alolan Sandslash. Stealth Rock provides pressure against Pokemon like Kyurem and Greninja which often overpower Archaludon with their Choice Specs sets. Latias offers a Ground-type immunity and Fighting-type resistance, handling Clodsire, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk as well as utility support via Healing Wish and Trick to give Archaludon a refresh late-game and to immobolize passive walls such Toxapex and Mandibuzz, respectively. (Talk about the ev spread what does it outspeed/ tank?)

QC 1/1 Well Done!

(I decided to remove Hydreigon all together to make the sentence flow a bit better and changed Barraskewda to Azumarill as Draco Meteor does more anyways.)

Archaludon outlasts its foes with its impenetrable defences and never-ending stamina, reigning over the Monotype metagame as an indomitable wall! Draco Meteor takes out opposing Dragon-types like Baxcalibur and Choice Scarf Dragapult (Scarf Pult is not staying into you at all, making this unrealistic. On the other hand, you can mention it punishes and forces out stuff like Gouger, which lets you pickup a KO from DM. Also, it just hits really hard). while Thunderbolt threatens Skarmory, Azumarill, and Gyarados (gyar is a bit of a bad example too, since its not staying into you [skarm can, if you're tboltless for instance since it want spikes, but Gyar really cant do anything vs Arch]. Tbolt is more on vs Toxapex/Corv which can tend to come in to take advantage of the thing that Archa isnt really supposed to do much vs it [set Tspikes/PP stall rocks]. Azu is a good example tho). Flash Cannon elliminates Fairy- and Ice-types such as Iron Valiant (Hitting Valiant is almost never worth it due to Dragon having gouger to soak up hits + you just die if it turns out to be band; You have to preserve dura for stuff like Hatterene and Mimikyu if they exist) and Alolan Ninetales. Body Press capitalizes on Defence boosts from Stamina to deal with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Alolan Sandslash (Aloslash is a bit random, can cut + odd wording since Pao doesnt really care about stamina because Sacred Sword). Stealth Rock provides pressure against Pokemon like Kyurem and Greninja which often overpower Archaludon with their Choice Specs sets. The given EV spread allows Archaludon to survive a Draco Meteor from Modest Raging Bolt and to outpace Adamant Kingambit and Azumarill. Latias offers a Ground-type immunity and Fighting-type resistance, handling Clodsire, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk (Ideally, mentioning Fighting resistance here should be avoided, its better to just say it bonks them since Zama and Tusk have ways vs Lati)as well as utility support via Healing Wish and Trick to give Archaludon a refresh late-game and to immobolize passive walls such Toxapex and Mandibuzz, respectively (Archa doesnt have problems vs these walls. Add Dragapult if you want tho, maybe Hisuian Goodra/Gouger for spdef side of things).

oki, bye

Translator here
A space is missing after the comma in the sentence Stealth Rock provides pressure against Pokemon like Kyurem and Greninja,which often overpower Archaludon with their Choice Specs sets.

Removed Baxcalibur mention early in the paragraph and replaced with latias due to ban.
