VGC Dondozo-Tatsugiri

[Sole Survivor]

[OVERVIEW]

* Dondozo is an extremely bulky Pokemon that when combined with Tatsugiri's Commander becomes very hard to deal with both offensively and defensively. It boasts good matchups against metagame staples Incineroar, Flutter Mane, Landorus, and, to an extent, Urshifu-R.

* Dondozo's most common teammates are two cores of two: Dragonite and Chien-Pao is one, and the other is Chi-Yu and Flutter Mane. Together they form a team archetype popularly referred to as "2-2-2". These cores complement one another well, covering for each other's weaknesses; for example, Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu can deal with Urshifu-R, Rillaboom, Iron Hands, and Dragon-types such as Archaludon and Latias, while Dondozo beats Incineroar. Dondozo is also utilized on teams with Tornadus and Glimmora. Tornadus provides it with Tailwind that makes it effectively impossible to outspeed once it swallows Tatsugiri. Glimmora chips down teams with poison via Toxic Debris, putting them on a timer against boosted Dondozo.

* Dondozo should be used thoughtfully and manoeuvred into advantageous situations, as when combined with Tatsugiri, Dondozo is the only Pokemon of the two that can attack which can be exploited by opponents. When boosted, Dondozo struggles against Follow Me Ogerpon-W, both Urshifu formes, and, without Terastallization, Rillaboom.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Boosted Wave Crash 2HKOes or OHKOes nearly the entire metagame. This is especially potent when used with Oblivious, as it allows Dondozo to completely ignore Intimidate cycling from the likes of Incineroar and Landorus-T. However, Unaware allows Dondozo to ignore boosts in the face of Nasty Plot Gholdengo and other Dondozo.

* Order Up is usually used alongside Tatsugiri-C to boost Dondozo's already raised Attack even higher, turning it into a nuke. However, Tatsugiri-S can be used to give Dondozo Speed boosts when it uses Order Up, allowing it to outspeed every relevant Pokemon in the metagame.

* Earthquake provides a way to get around Follow Me Ogerpon-W and comes with the added benefit of hitting Iron Hands hard.

* Substitute can be utilized over Earthquake on teams with a good Ogerpon-W matchup as it allows Dondozo to punish passive plays like using Protect and switching while also allowing it to waste turns of Trick Room and have an easier time against Iron Crown's Psychic Terrain-boosted assaults.

* Leftovers increases Dondozo's longevity against both the Urshifu formes and Chien-Pao and notably combined with Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain to give it further recovery. Rocky Helmet allows Dondozo to punish the aforementioned Pokemon heavily while also discouraging Fake Out from Incineroar and Rillaboom.

* The Speed EVs allow it to outrun maximum Speed Landorus at +2 and, after a Speed-boosting Order Up, Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao.

* The given Defense investment allows Dondozo to never be 2HKOed by Chien-Pao's Sacred Sword or Mystic Water Urshifu-R's Tera Water-boosted Surging Strikes in rain.

* The Special Defense investment lets Dondozo never be 2HKOed by Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Tera Fairy-boosted Moonblast, Choice Specs Chi-Yu's Dark Pulse, or Iron Crown's Modest Special Attack Booster Energy Expanding Force under Psychic Terrain.

* Tera Grass improves Dondozo's matchup against Rillaboom and Iron Hands while also letting it win the mirror matchup against other Dondozo. Alternatively, Tera Dragon gives Dondozo useful resistances to Grass and Electric while maintaining its Fire and Water resistances; it also boosts Order Up's power to a high level, letting Dondozo 2HKO just about any Pokemon in the metagame. Tera Dragon does make Dondozo more vulnerable to Flutter Mane, but that can be played around with careful positioning and Speed control.

[OVERVIEW]

* Tatsugiri is Dondozo's partner-in-crime, used almost exclusively for the purpose of boosting Dondozo via Commander; it should not be used outside of this role due to its low stats and lackluster movepool.

* Tatsugiri's only uses other than boosting Dondozo come in the form of Icy Wind and being able to close out games with Draco Meteor.

* Sleep Talk lets Tatsugiri get around Spore from Amoonguss while Tera Blast Steel does good damage against Flutter Mane.

* Choice Scarf with the given Speed investment lets Tatsugiri get the jump on Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane.

* The Defense EVs let Tatsugiri always survive an Adamant Chien-Pao Icicle Crash and almost always take a maximum Attack Adamant Urshifu Close Combat.

* Tera Steel gives Tatsugiri resistances to Dragon and Fairy, notably Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane.

Dozogiri QC 1/1

[OVERVIEW]

* Dondozo is an extremely bulky Pokemon which when combined with Tatsugiri's Commander becomes very hard to deal with both offensively and defensively. It boasts good matchups into metagame staples Incineroar, Urshifu-R Flutter Mane, Landorus, and to an extent, Flutter Mane and Iron Hands Urshifu-R. (Tera Water Shifu can really effect Dondozo with SoR/Rain support, , while Flutter Mane is in range of an OHKO and does about as much as Tera Water Shifu, maybe mention helmet somewhere assuming that's what you were reffering to. Bit iffy on Iron Hands as there are sets that beat it, unlike Landorus who drops to a neutral Wave Crash.)

* Dondozo's most common teammates are cores of two: Dragonite and Chien-Pao being one and the other being Chi-Yu and Flutter Mane. Together they form an archetype popularly referred to as "2-2-2". These cores complement one another well, covering for their weakness like Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu defeating Urshifu, Rillaboom, Iron Hands, and Dragon-types such as Archaludon and Latias, while Dondozo beats Incineroar. Dondozo is also utilized on teams with Tornadus and Glimmora as the former provides it with Tailwind which makes it effectively impossible to outspeed once it swallows Tatsugiri. Glimmora chips down teams with Poison via Toxic Debris, putting them on a timer against boosted Dondozo.

* Dondozo is a positioning-heavy Pokemon and should be used thoughtfully, put into advantageous spots as when combined with Tatsugiri, Dondozo is the only Pokemon that can attack which can be exploited by opponents if not done properly. When boosted, Dondozo struggles against Follow Me Ogerpon-W and Urshifu, and without Terastallization, Rillaboom. (You haven't mentioned bad matchups for Dondozo.)

[SET COMMENTS]

* Boosted Wave Crash 2HKOes or OHKOes nearly the entire metagame. This is especially potent when used in conjunction with Oblivious as it allows Dondozo to completely ignore Intimidate cycling from the likes of Incineroar and Landorus-T. However, Unaware allows Dondozo to ignore boosts in the face of Nasty Plot Gholdengo and Chi-Yu Swords Dance Kingambit and also against other Dondozo. (NP Chi-Yu isn't common right now and Dondozo will benefit more from ignoring the bulkier Kingambit.)

* Usually used alongside Curly Forme Tatsugiri, Order Up boosts Dondozo's already raised Attack even higher, turning it into a nuke. However, Stretchy Forme Tatsugiri can also be used to give Dondozo Speed boosts when it uses Order Up, allowing it to outspeed every relevant Pokemon in the metagame.

* Earthquake provides strong neutral damage against Urshifu-R a way to get around Ogerpon-W and comes with the added benefit of hitting Iron Hands hard. (Earthquake is a 3HKO, you'll generally want to click Order Up, but also redirection is a huge thing EQ ignores, which should be mentioned.)

* Rocky Helmet allows Dondozo to punish both Urshifu formes and Chien-Pao heavily while also discouraging Fake Out from Incineroar and Rillaboom. Leftovers increases Dondozo's longevity against the aforementioned Pokemon, notably also using Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain against it, getting further recovery. (Should be swapped in order)

* The Attack EVs coupled with the Adamant nature hit a stat bump while the Speed allows Dondozo to outrun maximum Speed Timid Landorus when Dondozo is at +2 Speed and, after a Speed-boosting Order Up, Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao. (moved 8 from SpD to Spe to stay true to this, doesn't change any of the calcs you mentioned.)

* The given Defense investment allows Dondozo to never get 2HKOed by Chien-Pao's Sacred Sword or Urshifu-R's Water Tera-boosted Mystic Water Surging Strikes in rain.

* The SpD investment lets Dondozo never get 2HKOed by Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Fairy Tera Moonblast, Chi-Yu's Choice Specs Dark Pulse, or Iron Crown's maximum SpA Modest Booster Special Attack Expanding Force under Psychic Terrain.

* The Grass Tera Type improves Dondozo's matchup against Rillaboom and Iron Hands while also letting it win the mirror matchup against other Dondozo. (Mention Tera Dragon here.)


[OVERVIEW]

* Tatsugiri is Dondozo's partner-in-crime, used almost exclusively for this purpose and should not be used outside of it due to its low stats and lackluster movepool.

* Tatsugiri's only use other than boosting Dondozo comes in the form of Icy Wind and being able to close out games with Draco Meteor.

AM Check Feedback

- There were a few unecessary changes like adding a comma before "both offensively and defensively", adding "like" to the sentence about Dondozo's matchups (it was fine assuming it's an exhaustive list), and adding "either" to the Wave Crash sentence.
- "covering for their respective weaknesses" sound like they cover their own weaknesses.
- You ideally should've tried to keep the fact that Tatsugiri-C is the one that's usually used.
- The "speed" in "speed control" is not capitalized.
