[SET COMMENTS]
========
- Tatsugiri-D's role is to be aside Dondozo to give it an omniboost thanks to Commander, while also enabling Dondozo's Order Up, which can raise its Defense every time. Tatsugiri-D can be also used as a late game cleaner with its decent Speed and good Special Attack after Dondozo faints.
- Draco Meteor threatens to OHKO Miraidon, Koraidon, and non-Assault Vest Raging Bolt, and Tatsugiri-D can deal solid spread damage with Muddy Water. Helping Hand gives Tatsugiri-D a more supportive role, boosting the offense of Calyrex-S, Chi-Yu, Miraidon, and Koraidon. With Helping Hand, Life Orb Calyrex-S can OHKO Iron Hands with Psychic, Chi-Yu can OHKO Flutter Mane with Overheat, Miraidon can OHKO Calyrex-I and Assault Vest Incineroar with Electro Drift and Life Orb Koraidon can OHKO Raging Bolt and Zamazenta-C with Close Combat.
- Icy Wind can be preferred over Helping Hand for a form of speed control
- Focus Sash can help Tatsugiri-D survive one hit and dish out damage back or support its teammates, and can also ensure that Tatsugiri survives to support Dondozo.
- With a Modest nature and Tera Stellar, Draco Meteor from Tatsugiri-D can OHKO Urshifu-R, Calyrex-S, and Assault Vest Raging Bolt, while a Timid nature can be opted for outspeeding Smeargle.
- Tera Normal can also be used to become immune to Ghost-type attacks from Calyrex-I and Lunala
Teambuilding
=========
- Tatsugiri-D's subpar speed and underwhelming bulk makes it vulnerable to various metagame threats such as Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Koraidon.
- Tatsugiri-D also can have a hard time breaking through more Special Defensive Pokemon such as Zamazenta-C, Flutter Mane, Rillaboom, and Assault Vest Incineroar, which are all capable of dealing hefty damage to Tatsugiri,
- Dondozo is a mandatory partner for Commander Tatsugiri-D, as Tatsugiri-D has no other notable niche
