[SET COMMENTS]

Dragonite is a very intriguing sweeper, as it is able to set up reliably in the face of offensive Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Charizard Y. Earthquake allows it to target foes such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Toxapex, preventing them from staying in to spread status such as Thunder Wave from the former and Toxic from the latter two. Ice Spinner grants Dragonite the ability to threaten foes like Gliscor and Landorus-T, which are usually key defensive pillars of their teams, and stops them from coming in for free to land Toxic on Dragonite. Ice- and Ground-type coverage additionally hits a vast amount of Pokemon in the metagame. Roost gives Dragonite the longevity to answer Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R and also provides more setup opportunities for Dragon Dance, which allows Dragonite to break through foes like Toxapex and Ferrothorn. Extreme Speed can be used over Roost, as it helps Dragonite pick off weakened faster Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Koko that would normally outspeed and threaten it. Dual Wingbeat hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta significantly harder.

Dragonite is used on a plethora of different bulky offense and balance teams as they appreciate Dragonite's defensive utility, with it being able to switch into offensive Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W and find many different opportunities to set up Dragon Dance. Pokemon like Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite's ability to respond to foes like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Landorus-T. In return, Mega Diancie can pressure Dragonite’s checks like Ferrothorn with Mystical Fire and Zapdos with Diamond Storm. Dragonite can have a difficult time in the face of Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele that still outspeed it after a Dragon Dance and threaten Dragonite, so it values the presence of Steel-types like Gholdengo and Heatran to switch into it. Scale Shot Garchomp and Icicle Spear Kyurem also outspeed and break through Dragonite's Multiscale. Therefore, allies such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Iron Valiant are appreciated to outspeed and threaten these foes. Kingambit also helps versus Air Balloon Gholdengo, which Dragonite does not immediately threaten. Volcarona is also an effective partner, as it can respond to Pokemon that directly threaten Dragonite like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant, of which the former blocks Dragonite’s Extreme Speed with Psychic Terrain. Great Tusk is an effective partner, since it is able to wear down checks such as Landorus-T with both Stealth Rock and Ice Spinner, letting Dragonite break through opposing teams more easily in the middle stages of the game. Great Tusk can also help break through Toxapex with Headlong Rush and hit Ferrothorn with Close Combat. In return, Dragonite responds to Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W that force out Great Tusk.

Dragonite is a very intriguing sweeper as it is able to setup reliably in the face of offensive Pokemon like Urshifu, Ogerpon-W, and Kartana Mega Charizard Y better example (who even uses kart nowadays) and force them out filler. Earthquake allows it to target foes such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Toxapex which prevents them from staying in to spread status such as?. Ice Spinner grants Dragonite the ability to threaten foes like Gliscor and Landorus-T which are usually key defensive pillars to their teams and this stops them from coming in for free to land Toxic on Dragonite. Roost gives Dragonite the longevity to answer Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu, Roost also provides more setup opportunities for Dragon Dance, which grant the opportunity to outspeed foes like Dragapult and Zamazenta you only need 1 boost to outspeed these two, so ur better off talking abt how it allows u to break through walls like ferro or pex more easily. Extreme Speed can be used over Roost as it helps Dragonite pick off weakened faster Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Koko which would normally outspeed and threaten it. Dual Wingbeat is another option that can be used in the last slot as it hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta significantly harder.

Dragonite is used on a plethora of different Bulky offense and Balance teams as they appreciate Dragonite's defensive utility being able to respond to offensive Water-types like Urshifu-R and finding many different opportunities to set up Dragon Dance. Pokemon like Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite's ability to respond to foes like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Landorus-T. In return Mega Diancie can pressure Dragonite’s checks like Ferrothorn i wouldve said zapdos here but this is fine too (might wanna specify mystical fire) and Moltres. Dragonite can have a difficult time in the face of Pokemon such as Dragapult which can break Dragonite’s Multiscale with Dragon Darts, so teammates such as Kingambit is appreciated to Pursuit-trap and remove Dragapult i like this pairing but u might wanna include smth about air balloon gholdengo too; feels more significant than pult IMO. Volcarona is also an effective partner as it can respond to Pokemon that directly threaten Dragonite like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Iron Valiant which the former also blocks Dragonite’s Extreme Speed. Kingambit also provides Knock Off to remove items from Pokemon that also happen to switch into Dragonite. kinda filler idk what this has to do with dnite specifically, at least put it where u mentioned kgb earlier Great Tusk is another effective partner as it is able to provide utility in Stealth Rock to give Dragonite better opportunities versus Pokemon like Landorus-T and also providing Knock Off like the Aforementioned Kingambit. Great Tusk is an effective partner since it is able to wear down checks such as Landorus-T with both Stealth Rock and Ice Spinner, letting Dragonite break through opposing teams more easily in the mid-game. could also mention it helping break toxapex, and steel types like ferro with CC

Dragonite is a very intriguing sweeper as it is able to setup reliably in the face of offensive Pokemon like Urshifu-R so GP doesnt have to ask, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Charizard Y. Earthquake allows it to target foes such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Toxapex which prevents them from staying in to spread status such as Thunder Wave and Toxic respectively <= you cant connect a list of three with a list of two using "respectively", please restructure; you can just cut the word respectively, or if you want to expand you can say "twave for the former and toxic for the latter two". Ice Spinner grants Dragonite the ability to threaten foes like Gliscor and Landorus-T which are usually key defensive pillars to their teams and this stops them from coming in for free to land Toxic on Dragonite. need some explanation of why these two moves in particular to justify usually having zero STABs, some mention of ice / ground being a good offensive combo + why Roost gives Dragonite the longevity to answer Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu, Roost also provides more setup opportunities for Dragon Dance, which grant the opportunity to break through foes like Toxapex and Ferrothorn. Extreme Speed can be used over Roost as it helps Dragonite pick off weakened faster Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Koko which would normally outspeed and threaten it. Dual Wingbeat is another option that can be used in the last slot as it yap yap yap get to the point lol hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta significantly harder.

Dragonite is used on a plethora of different Bulky offense and Balance teams as they appreciate Dragonite's defensive utility being able to respond to offensive Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W or any other additonal example and finding many different opportunities to set up Dragon Dance. Pokemon like Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite's ability to respond to foes like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Landorus-T. In return Mega Diancie can pressure Dragonite’s checks like Ferrothorn with Mystical Fire and Diamond Storm for Zapdos. Dragonite can have a difficult time in the face of Pokemon such as Dragapult which can break Dragonite’s Multiscale with Dragon Darts some mention of scale shot chomp (and kyurem if you so wish), so teammates such as Kingambit is appreciated to Pursuit-trap and remove Dragapult this still says pult btw. Kingambit also helps versus Air balloon Gholdengo which Dragonite does not immediately threaten. Volcarona is also an effective partner as it can respond to Pokemon that directly threaten Dragonite like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Iron Valiant which the former also blocks Dragonite’s Extreme Speed. Great Tusk is an effective partner since it is able to wear down checks such as Landorus-T with both Stealth Rock and Ice Spinner, letting Dragonite break through opposing teams more easily in the mid-game since ur a seasoned vet might as well talk about grammar in a qc check -- "in the mid-game" is wrong terminology and should be replaced with "in the middle stages of a game", mid-game late-game etc are only used as adjectives. Great Tusk can also help break through Toxapex with Headlong Rush and it can hit Ferrothorn with Close Combat. what does dnite do in return? their defensive typings are very complementary too

Dragonite is a very intriguing sweeper, (AC) "as" is an independent clause as it is able to setup set up reliably in the face of offensive Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Charizard Y. Earthquake allows it to target foes such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Toxapex, (AC) which prevents preventing if you remove the non essential clause (examples) it becomes "EQ allows it to target foes, which prevents them from staying in" which doesn't make too much sense them from staying in to spread status such as Thunder Wave from the former and Toxic from the latter two. Ice Spinner grants Dragonite the ability to threaten foes like Gliscor and Landorus-T, (AC) missed a "which" clause which are usually key defensive pillars to of their teams, (AC) and this stops them from coming in for free to land Toxic on Dragonite. Ice- (AH) you list types like this, Ice- and Ground-type and Ground-type coverage additionally this sentence didn't make too much sense on its own, so connected it to the previous sentence hits a vast amount of Pokemon in the metagame. Roost gives Dragonite the longevity to answer Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu Urshifu-R, (AC) and clause is dependent so it doesn't want a comma Roost and by the way to earth pls don't line up two red/blue sequences in a row, bunch them together also provides more setup opportunities for Dragon Dance, which grant the opportunity allows Dragonite to break through foes like Toxapex and Ferrothorn. Extreme Speed can be used over Roost, (AC) same as the first as it helps Dragonite pick off weakened faster Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Koko which that dependent clause to the right so needs "that" instead of "which" => would normally outspeed and threaten it. Dual Wingbeat hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta significantly harder.

Dragonite is used on a plethora of different bulky offense and balance teams as they appreciate Dragonite's defensive utility, (AC) with it "they appreciate dnites defensive utility, with it being able to switch into ... and find many different opportunities to ... (this is subjective but it looked like the easiest way to fix this) being able to respond to switch into respond to doesn't tell a lot offensive Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W and finding find as said above many different opportunities to set up Dragon Dance. Pokemon like Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite's ability to respond to foes like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Landorus-T. In return, (AC) Mega Diancie can pressure Dragonite’s checks like Ferrothorn with Mystical Fire and Diamond Storm for Zapdos Zapdos with Diamond Storm line up with the previous part of the sentence. Dragonite can have a difficult time in the face of Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele that still outspeed it after a Dragon Dance and threatens threaten Dragonite, (AC) so it values the presence of Steel types Steel-types be meticulous!!! don't miss anything!! like Gholdengo and Heatran to switch into it. Scale Shot Garchomp and Icicle Spear Kyurem also outspeed and breaks break through Dragonite Dragonite's Multiscale. Therefore, allies such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and scarf? booster? wildfire DM me on discord if you want confirmation, but methinks booster here not scarf Iron Valiant are appreciated to outspeed and threaten these foes. Kingambit also helps versus Air Balloon Gholdengo, (AC) missed this which Dragonite does not immediately threaten. Volcarona is also an effective partner, (AC) missed this as it can respond to Pokemon that directly threaten Dragonite like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant, (AC) of which the former also blocks Dragonite’s Extreme Speed with Psychic Terrain. Great Tusk is an effective partner, (AC) missed this since it is able to wear down checks such as Landorus-T with both Stealth Rock and Ice Spinner, letting Dragonite break through opposing teams more easily in the middle stages of the game mid-game original was correct, mid-game is an adjective so never say "in the mid-game" (same with late-game and early-game) if you want to use these you have to say "break through opposing teams more easily mid-game". Great Tusk can also help break through Toxapex with Headlong Rush and it can don't need to start a new independent clause here, just keep it "Great Tusk can break through this and hit this" hit Ferrothorn with Close Combat. In return, (AC) Dragonite responds to the Water-Types Water-types they're not the only water types that force it out like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W that forces force out Great Tusk.
