Something Worth Fighting For
QC: GOAO / Merritt
GP: Mr. Uncompetitive
[OVERVIEW]
Bagon finds itself heavily outclassed in the Little Cup metagame by other, more reliable setup sweepers such as Shellder, Tyrunt, and Timburr. Bagon is incredibly frail and takes considerable damage even from neutral attacks, making it difficult for Bagon to safely set up with Dragon Dance. Finally, Bagon lacks any super effective coverage moves or a secondary STAB option to hit Fairy-types such as Spritzee, allowing them to completely trample over it.
[SET]
name: Dragon Dance
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Outrage
move 3: Zen Headbutt / Substitute
move 4: Fire Fang / Substitute
item: Life Orb / Dragonium Z
ability: Sheer Force
nature: Adamant
evs: 236 Atk / 76 Def / 196 Spe
ivs: 0 HP
[SET COMMENTS]
Bagon's best attempt to pull off a sweep is to set up with Dragon Dance against more passive Pokemon such as Ferroseed, as well as Pokemon it can force out such as Choice Scarf Chinchou locked into anything besides Ice Beam. However, Bagon's poor defenses prevent it from acquiring Dragon Dance boosts reliably, and it cannot muscle past Fairy-types such as Spritzee without them being severely weakened. Bagon is also vulnerable to opposing Choice Scarf and priority users such as Pawniard and Timburr due to its low bulk.
