[SET COMMENTS]
* Draco Meteor is for Dragon-type Pokemon without defensive items like Haban Berry and Assault Vest, such as Regidrago, Raging Bolt, Dragapult, and non-Choice Specs Kyurem.
* Heavy Slam deals with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Diancie, and Primarina.
* Acid Spray is used to drop Special Defense, and the combination of Acid Spray + Draco Meteor can KO Pokemon like Porygon-Z, non-Assault Vest or non-Choice Specs Volcanion, non-Clear Amulet Pecharunt, and Life Orb Spectrier.
* Counter is for Pokemon with strong physical moves that don't OHKO Hisuian Goodra, usually Choice Band users like Urshifu-R, Iron Valiant, Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada.
* Hisuian Goodra's EVs maximize HP so that it can tank a Choice Band Close Combat from Iron Valiant and both Urshifu formes while surviving two +1 Life Orb Hexes from Spectrier after chip damage from burn. Its Attack allows it to always OHKO non-bulky sets of Iron Valiant, with the rest of the EVs in Special Attack.
* Because of Sap Sipper, Hisuian Goodra can win against SubSeed Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Serperior, and Ogerpon-W.
* Against Encore + Disable Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales, it is necessary to use Heavy Slam turn 1 and switch to Acid Spray on turn 2. Using Acid Spray turn 1 will lose the matchup, as it does not threaten a 2HKO on these foes.
* Since Hisuian Goodra struggles against Ursaluna, Landorus-T, and Donphan, Pokemon like Primarina, Urshifu-R, and Manaphy make good teammates.
