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 solid natural bulk bolstered by Multiscale, Dragonite becomes a fearsome OU sweeper. With Tera Blast Flying, Dragonite shatters would-be checks like Great Tusk and Zamazenta, completely melts Pokemon like Primarina and Dragapult, and muscles through bulky walls like Moltres and Alomomola. Earthquake complements Tera Blast Flying, being able to hit foes 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 Pokemon that can handle them like Raging Bolt are much appreciated. Gholdengo is another phenomenal partner for Dragonite, thank to its ability to take on Kyurem, which can otherwise tank a +1 Tera Blast and threaten Ice Beam back. Gholdengo does well versus many physical walls like Dondozo and Corviknight, which can greatly stifle Dragonite.

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.

Dragonite flies higher than ever before thanks to Terastalization! Backed up by good solid < this one is wholly optional but I think it sounds more colorful natural bulk bolstered by Multiscale, (AC) and Dragonite becomes a fearsome OU sweeper. With Tera Blast Flying, (AC) Dragonite shatters would-be checks like Great Tusk and Zamazenta, completely melt melts Pokemon like Primarina and Dragapult, and muscle muscles through bulky walls like Moltres and Alomomola. Earthquake compliments complements Tera Blast Flying, being able to hit resists foes 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 Pokemon that can handle them like Raging Bolt is are much appreciated. Gholdengo is also another phenonmonal phenomenal partner for Dragonite, thank to his its ability to take on Kyurem, who which can otherwise tank a +1 Tera Blast and threaten Ice Beam back. Gholdengo does well versus many physical walls like Dondozo and Corviknight, who which can greatly stifle Dragonite.

i am done! i actually have a quick question

i am curious as to why you chose foes here, and why resists was a bad word to use here

We generally try to avoid using the word "resists" as a noun, as in non-Pokemon English, it's a verb. I replaced it with "foes" to refer to enemy Pokemon. The two relevant GP standards are below; let me know if you have any other questions!

GP Standards said:
  • "Foe" refers to the opposing Pokemon, not the opposing battler. Similarly, "opponent" refers to the opposing battler, not the opposing Pokemon.
  • The word "resists" is only to be used as a form of the infinitive "to resist" and never as a noun ("Flying-type resists such as Pichu are good Pokemon" is incorrect).
