Dracozolt excels as a Choice Scarf user in Electric-type teams with its sheer power paired up with good coverage options. Bolt Beak is Dracozolt's most dangerous move, as its Base Power is doubled if Dracozolt attacks first, and is heavily enhanced with Hustle and a Choice Scarf. Dragon Claw is used to hit Dragon-type Pokemon and Pokemon that resist or are immune to Bolt Beak, such as Grass-type Pokemon and Seismitoad. Outrage can be used along with Dragon Claw, as it has more base power but locks the Dracozolt. Earthquake can be used as an alternative move to deal with Pokemon like Excadrill outside of sand and Aegislash. Fire Fang helps with Steel-type Pokemon that resists Bolt Beak, such as Ferrothorn.

Vikavolt is a fantastic teammate, as it can set up Sticky Web for Dracozolt. With Sticky Web up, Dracozolt can outspeed common Choice Scarf users such as Excadrill and Dracovish safely. Vikavolt also carries Grass-type coverage in Energy Ball, which is useful to break past common walls Dracozolt struggles against, such as Hippowdon and Seismitoad. The slow Volt Switch from Vikavolt also helps Dracozolt to come in safely to the field. Toxtricity forms an excellent offensive core with Dracozolt, as it can severely weaken the opposing team with a Choice Specs set and its Sludge Wave can handle Fairy- and Grass-types. Pincurchin provides a handful of utility options to Dracozolt. It can set up Electric Terrain, which boosts the power of Bolt Beak even further. It also learns Spikes and Toxic Spikes, which allows Dracozolt to break more consistently. Rotom-C is another decent partner for Dracozolt, as it can break through Ground-type Pokemon with Leaf Storm, provide momentum with Volt Switch, and pivot into Ground-type attacks with Levitate. Morpeko can form an offensive core with Dracozolt while providing utility options such as Parting Shot and Rapid Spin. Its access to Seed Bomb allows it to break past Ground-type Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Seismitoad, Parting Shot can be used to pivot while reducing offensive stats of opposing Pokemon, and Rapid Spin removes entry hazards to prevent getting Dracozolt crippled.

The line about Dracozolt's spread seems useless for such a short analysis, but you can keep it for the next QC to check if you want. Should elaborate more on what you mean by "sufficient coverage moves" when talking about Toxtricity and Morpeko.

QC 1/2
 
You need to talk about Outrage hitting Dragon-type Pokemon. I would also merge Fire Fang and Earthquake into one line since it’s just a mini.

Talk about using Vikavolt’s slow Volt Switch to bring in Dracozolt for free over it being able to switch into Ground moves.

You need to highlight Toxitricity’s role as a wallbreaker alongside Dracozolt. It’s also mentioned twice so you should take the second one out.

I would go into more detail as to why Morpeko is a good partner for Dracozolt, as someone who’s trying to get into Monotype I wouldn’t be sure what you’re trying to tell me by explaining it’s coverage.

Add Rotom-C > Rotom-W.

QC 2/2
