I was told to post this here to decide if its a Fire Blast slash on the parashuffler, a new set, or a rejected set.
[SET]
name: Tank
move 1: Substitute
move 2: Roost
move 3: Dragon Tail
move 4: Fire Blast
item: Leftovers
ability: Multiscale
nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 80 SpA / 176 SpD
[Set Comments]
-Geared towards abusing Multiscale bulk on stall teams.
-Very similar to the parashuffler set, however, this set has the ability to prevent normal threats like Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Forretress from just coming in and setting up.
-Most of the time using this set your goal will be to get a Sub. Against all of the aforementioned steel types you have an ideal chance, as well as against bulky waters that don't run Ice Beam.
-Once you start shuffling, you can either increase the effectiveness of your Toxic Spikes, or thanks to Multiscale have a near invincible wall with paralysis support.
-Even if you can't keep Stealth Rock off your side, you still have a very solid special wall. For example, a +2 Modest Life Orb Venusaur has almost no chance of OHKOing you after a Stealth Rock switch in and leftovers recovery.
-Fire Blast and special attack EVs are there to ensure Skarmory will not be coming in on you no matter how much special bulk it decides to have.
[Additional Comments]
-You will want either Toxic Spikes or paralysis support. Tentacruel and Forretress are great options for Toxic Spikes. Slowbro, Celebi, and Jirachi are ideal for spreading paralysis.
-Spinning is another vital support tactic for obvious reasons. Tentacruel and Forretress can multitask here. Excadrill is a solid choice as well because its excellent attack lets it bust through the most common spin blocker, Jellicent.
-The last important form of support is teammates who can cover Dragonite's weaknesses to the incredibly powerful Dragon, Ice, and Rock attacks you will see. Mamoswine is the largest and most common threat that will ruin your day, making Slowbro an excellent teammate. Skarmory also does a solid job of defending against those attacks.
-A cleric can be convienient for the process of spreading paralysis before bringing Dragonite in, for example, you can gain the freedom to Body Slam a Rotom-w with your Jirachi, Roserade and Celebi are premium choices here.
-Flamethrower has more PP and 100% accuracy, but gets trolled by the rare max special defense Skarm. You can also use a Sassy nature for more oomph on Dragon Tail.
