Dragonite @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Flying
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Tera Blast
- Earthquake
- Encore

Dragonite flies higher than ever before thanks to Terastalization! Backed up by good natural bulk bolstered by Multiscale and Dragonite becomes a fearsome OU sweeper. With Tera Blast Flying Dragonite shatters would-be checks like Great Tusk and Zamazenta, completely melt Pokemon like Primarina and Dragapult, and muscle through bulky walls like Moltres and Alomomola. Earthquake compliments Tera Blast Flying, being able to hit resists like Garganacl and Kingambit. The last move of choice is Roost, which allows Dragonite to keep itself healthy to grab multiple Dragon Dances. Zapdos and Rotom-Wash completely wall this set and threaten to retaliate with Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp, so Pokémon that can handle them like Raging Bolt is much appreciated. Dragonite usually does well on hyper-offense, so lead Pokemon like Iron Treads or Deoxys-Speed is much appreciated.

Think this is far too broad and not too Dragonite specific, specially as the replay is a BO / Offense and not straight up HO. You could remove this and instead use this space to mention Gholdengo as it can take on Kyurem, which threatens Dragonite both pre and post Tera, as well as physical walls like Dondozo and Corviknight.
