Raging Bolt's strong STAB combination and high bulk make it a potent Calm Mind user and wallbreaker on a large majority of teams. Lucarionite with a Modest nature gives Raging Bolt incredible power, more rounded bulk, and notably the ability to naturally outspeed slower Arceus formes. Alternatively, Diancite with a Timid nature trades a large portion of bulk and a little power for the ability to outspeed fast threats like Arceus-Ground, Eternatus, and Lugia, although it makes Raging Bolt more reliant on Substitute to stay on the field. Draco Meteor gives Raging Bolt an instant burst of power, while Dragon Pulse is a less powerful alternative that pairs better with Substitute and Calm Mind at the cost of being unable to naturally OHKO bulky Eternatus variants if it is using Diancite. Thunderclap is primarily used in tandem with Lucarionite, allowing Raging Bolt to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Hisuian Samurott, and Pinsirite Gouging Fire and threaten other would-be faster Pokemon like Iron Boulder and Tough Claws Solgaleo. Alternatively, Volt Switch pairs best with Diancite and turns Raging Bolt into a powerful pivot, taking advantage of its 135 Speed after Mega Evolving to outspeed a majority of the metagame, most notably the ever-present Eternatus. Substitute allows Raging Bolt to be less prediction reliant, especially with Diancite, while reducing its weakness to Pixilate Extreme Speed from the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Entei, and Regieleki, but it takes up a valuable moveslot. Raging Bolt capitalizes on the lack of strong Electric-resistant Pokemon in the metagame, threatening OHKOs against defensive staples like Eternatus and Great Tusk and 2HKOs against Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy with entry hazard support from the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Clodsire, and Garganacl. As a result, Pokemon that can take advantage of the weakening and removal of these staples like Urshifu-R and Iron Boulder make for great partners. Dual screens support from Regieleki and Deoxys-S can allow Raging Bolt to set up on a variety of Pokemon, including certain would-be checks like Arceus-Ground and Great Tusk unless it has already Mega Evolved using Diancite. Blissey and Altarianite Dragonite are the only Pokemon that Raging Bolt cannot ever break, as the former is simply too bulky while the latter can easily shrug off Raging Bolt's STAB moves. As a result, teammates that can remove these threats such as Galarian Zapdos, Gouging Fire, and Altarianite Hisuian Arcanine are greatly valued. Other Pixilate Extreme Speed users, namely Regieleki and Hisuian Arcanine, reliably force out Raging Bolt and can both survive even a Lucarionite-boosted Thunderbolt from it, so teammates that can switch into these like Galarian Slowking, Eternatus, and Arceus-Water pair well with it.

Raging Bolt's strong Electric/Dragon STAB combo Electric / Dragon STAB combination and high bulk make it a potent Calm Mind user and wallbreaker on hyper offense, bulky offense, and balance teams. Lucarionite gives Raging Bolt incredible power and more rounded bulk, noticeably naturally outspeeding slower Arceus forms, while Diancite trades a large portion of bulk and a little power for the ability to outspeed fast threats like Arceus-Ground, Eternatus, and Lugia, although becoming more reliant on Substitute to stay on the field. Draco Meteor gives Raging Bolt an instant burst of power, while Dragon Pulse is a less powerful alternative that allows it to play more into its role of a Calm Mind booster and Substitute user more easily (this is fairly obvious, id mention calcs like with etern). Thunderclap is primarily used in tandem with Lucarionite, allowing it to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Hisuian Samurott, and Pinsirite Gouging Fire and threaten other would-be faster Pokemon like Solgaleo and Iron Boulder. Alternatively, Substitute allows Raging Bolt to be less prediction reliant while reducing its PixiSpeed weakness from the likes of Dragonite, Hisuian Arcanine, and Regieleki (it cant rly do shit to dnite so id restrict this list to harc+eleki). Volt Switch turns Raging Bolt into a powerful pivot, pairing phenomenally with Diancite to abuse its post-Mega evolution Speed stat of 135 to outspeed a majority of the metagame, most notably the ever-present Eternatus. Raging Bolt capitalises on the lack of strong Electric-resistant Pokemon in the metagame, threatening OHKOs and 2HKOs on defensive staples like Eternatus, Arceus-Dragon, Clodsire (does it rly 2hko clod? i can see meteor doing it but then ure down to -2 soo. id cross check this, placu calc isnt working so im having a difficult time lol) (dragonceus isnt rly a staple-worthy), and Great Tusk with its powerful Dragon-type STAB moves, and even Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy with hazard support from the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Clodsire, and Garganacl. As such, partners that can take advantage of the weakening and removal of these staples like Urshifu-R and Iron Boulder make for great partners. Despite its ability to punish a wide range of walls in the meta, it cannot break through others. Screens support from Regieleki and Deoxys-S can allow Raging Bolt to set up on a variety of Pokemon, including certain would-be checks like Arceus-Ground and Great Tusk unless already Mega Evolved using Diancite. Blissey, and Altarianite Dragonite are the only Pokemon that Raging Bolt cannot break, as the former is simply too bulky and carries Calm Mind while the latter resists Raging Bolt's Electric moves and is immune to its Draco Meteor; as such, teammates that can remove these threats such as Galarian Zapdos, Gouging Fire, and Altarianite Hisuian Arcanine are greatly valued. Other PixiSpeed users, namely Regieleki and Hisuian Arcanine, reliably force out Raging Bolt and can both survive even a Lucarionite Thunderbolt from it, so teammates that can switch into these like Galarian Slowking, Eternatus, and Arceus-Water pair well.

Raging Bolt's strong Electric / Dragon Since the typing's not changing this seems redundant to keep in STAB combination and high bulk make it a potent Calm Mind user and wallbreaker on hyper offense, bulky offense, and balance teams a large majority of team styles Or however you wanna say it, just shorten in to not just name all team-styles. Lucarionite with a Modest nature gives Raging Bolt incredible power and more rounded bulk, noticeably naturally outspeeding slower Arceus forms, while Diancite with a Timid nature trades a large portion of bulk and a little power for the ability to outspeed fast threats like Arceus-Ground, Eternatus, and Lugia, although becoming more reliant on Substitute to stay on the field. Draco Meteor gives Raging Bolt an instant burst of power, while Dragon Pulse is a less powerful alternative that allows it to play more into its role of a Calm Mind booster and Substitute user more easily at the cost of being unable to OHKO bulky Eternatus variants without a prior boost if using Diancite and being weaker into typical checks like Arceus-Ground and Clodsire There isn't anything inherently wrong with this, but it's quite a long sentence, would prefer if it was cut down somehow. Thunderclap is primarily used in tandem with Lucarionite, allowing it to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Hisuian Samurott, and Pinsirite Gouging Fire and threaten other would-be faster Pokemon like Tough Claws Solgaleo and Iron Boulder. Alternatively, Substitute allows Raging Bolt to be less prediction reliant, especially with Diancite, while reducing its PixiSpeed weakness from the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Entei, and Regieleki. Volt Switch turns Raging Bolt into a powerful pivot, pairing phenomenally with Diancite to abuse its post-Mega evolution Speed stat of 135 to outspeed a majority of the metagame, most notably the ever-present Eternatus. Raging Bolt capitalises on the lack of strong Electric-resistant Pokemon in the metagame, threatening an OHKO against defensive staples like Eternatus and Great Tusk with its powerful Dragon-type STAB moves and even threatening a 2HKO against Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy with entry hazard support from the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Clodsire, and Garganacl Same here, nothing wrong with the information but a bit long and wordy, try cutting it down a bit. As such, partners that can take advantage of the weakening and removal of these staples like Urshifu-R and Iron Boulder make for great partners. Despite its ability to punish a wide range of walls in the meta like Corviknight and Eternatus, it cannot break through others, such as Clodsire and Altarianite Dragonite. Feels a bit pointless to include this sentence since you're already mentioning both of there obstacles elsewhere Screens support from Regieleki and Deoxys-S can allow Raging Bolt to set up on a variety of Pokemon, including certain would-be checks like Arceus-Ground This surely does not beat CM Groundceus in any way, even with screens and Great Tusk unless already Mega Evolved using Diancite. Blissey, (RC) and Altarianite Dragonite are the only Pokemon that Raging Bolt cannot break, as the former is simply too bulky and carries Calm Mind while the latter resists Raging Bolt's Electric moves and is immune to its Draco Meteor while the latter can easily shrug off its STAB moves. As such, teammates that can remove these threats such as Galarian Zapdos, Gouging Fire, and Altarianite Hisuian Arcanine are greatly valued.
