[SET COMMENTS]

After one Dragon Dance, Earthquake KOs non-Air Balloon Gholdengo, non-Tera Flying Kingambit, and Ceruledge within two hits. 144 HP EVs allow Dragonite to always survive one Close Combat from Ceruledge and offensive Great Tusk after Terastallization. Dragonite appreciates being able to Terastallize, with Normal being its best Tera type due to the increased power Extreme Speed gains.

Dragonite struggles against Air Balloon Gholdengo and physically defensive Corviknight, so teammates such as Ting-Lu, Kingambit, Ceruledge, and Skeledirge are appreciated to deal with them. Since Dragonite also struggles with Fighting-types after Terastallization, Ceruledge and Skeledirge also provide a valuable Fighting immunity, and the bulk of the latter compliments Dragonite well.

Should Fire Punch be added as an alternative to Earthquake? I think it might help with Corviknight and Gholdengo.

After one Dragon Dance, Earthquake KOs non-Air Balloon Gholdengo, non-Tera Flying Kingambit, and Ceruledge within two hits. Maybe add a sentence here showing how Fire Punch can also be an option to improve its matchups. 144 HP EVs allow Dragonite to always survive one Close Combat from Ceruledge and offensive Great Tusk after Terastallization. Dragonite appreciates being able to Terastallize, with Normal being its best Tera type due to the increased power Extreme Speed gains.

If Dragonite chooses to run Earthquake, it can struggles against Air Balloon Gholdengo and physically defensive Corviknight, so teammates such as Ting-Lu, Kingambit, Ceruledge, and Skeledirge are appreciated to deal with them. Add a sentence here talking about teammates that Dragonite needs if it's running Fire Punch over Earthquake. Since Dragonite also struggles with Fighting-types after Terastallization, Ceruledge and Skeledirge also provide a valuable Fighting immunity, and the bulk of the latter compliments Dragonite well. I think you can elaborate further with Skeledirge, since status can help Dragonite. Speaking of status, I'd say you can add a sentence or two each on how Dragonite benefits from both hazard setters and status spreaders.
