[SET COMMENTS]
Duraludon's Steel-typing, great Special Attack and average Speed make it a good revenge killer on Dragon teams that helps greatly in the Dragon mirror matchups. Flash Cannon allows Duraludon to threaten most Fairy- and Ice-types such as Grimmsnarl, Weavile and Mamoswine. Thunder Wave helps greatly with slowing down fast threats that Duraludon can't take care of, such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir, while Thunderbolt gives Duraludon a way to hit Flying-types like Pelipper and Corviknight super effectively. Stealth Rock is used to chip Pokemon on the switch and pressure them from switching in and out. Having Maximum Speed with a Choice Scarf allows Duraludon to outpace Choice Scarf Dracovish and Gardevoir.

All Dragon-types appreciate Duraludon's Steel typing, which help it threaten both Fairy- and Ice-types. They also love Duraludon's ability for being able to set Stealth Rock and chip Bug-, Ice- and Flying-types, which makes it easier for setup attackers such as Kommo-o to sweep, as well as slow down the opposing team with Thunder Wave to help with threats such as Gardevoir. However, Duraludon cannot take Fighting-type attacks well, so Dragapult makes a great partner able to come in on these attacks. Duraludon also struggles with Ground-types like Excadrill and Flygon, so Nasty Plot Hydreigon and Noivern make great partners, being able to take care of them with their powerful special attacks and having a Ground immunity. Dracovish and Dracozolt are good wallbreakers and revenge killers capable of breaking walls such as Hippowdon and Toxapex. Dragapult is also a great teammate due to its access to Fire Blast helping to break Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, which Duraludon struggles. In addition, its Ghost typing helps take care of Galarian Corsola and Mew. Kommo-o makes a great partner thanks to its access to Taunt to stop opposing hazard setters and its ability to set up Stealth Rock, which makes it easier for Duraludon to get KOs.

[maroon]

- make it name: Stealth Rock (Dragon)

- slash thunder wave behind thunderbolt, make stealth rock move 1

Stealth Rock is used to help chip Pokemon on the switchin, and pressure non-Heavy Duty Boots Pokemon from being able to switch in and out.
-this feels far too niche to put on a mini. remove the mention of them again in the 2nd paragraph

- add dracovish & dracozolt as teammates

Duraludon also struggles with Ground-types like Excadrill so having Hydreigon or Kommo-o makes for great partners due to having Fire- or Fighting-type attacks that can take care of it.
- not all ground types bend to fire/fighting coverage, reword this sentence

QC 1/2

 

[Havens]

-Let's replace Vanilluxe with a more relevant Ice-type. Say Mamoswine or Weavile?
-Mention that Duraludon uses the speed in tandem with Scarf to outpace opposing Scarf Dracovish and Gardevoir, since naturally it outspeeds both.
-It's true that Duraludon struggles with Ground-types, but you don't mention well enough how Hydreigon and Kommo-o "handle them". I'd probably take out Kommo-o in that example and replace it for something like Noivern because of its natural Ground immunity, and also mention Hydreigon's Levitate here.
-Instead, let's show how Kommo-o supports Duraludon (Stealth Rock setter, Taunt, etc.)
-Also mention how Dracovish and Dracozolt are amazing revenge killers.

QC 1/2

 

[maroon]

- slash tbolt/sr as move #4
- would also talk about how because of its choice scarf its a valuable pokemon in the dragon mirror
- weavile is a good flash cannon example
- for twave give scarf gard as an example of something it targets, since it cant revenge gardevoir from full health with flash cannon
- corviknight is a good example for tbolt, add it imo
- all of its teammates also like its ability to paralyze faster foes like gardevoir
- kommo-o feels lackluster this gen, make it the last teammate
- add nasty plot to the hydreigon bullet
- add dragapult as a teammate

QC 2/2

Flash Cannon allows Duraludon to be able to threaten most Fairy- and Ice-types such as Grimmsnarl, Weavile and Mamoswine. Thunder Wave helps greatly with slowing down fast threats that Duraludon can't take care of,(AC) such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir.(RFS),(AC) while Thunderbolt gives Duraludon a way to hit Flying-types like Pelipper and Corviknight super effectively. Stealth Rock is used to help chip Pokemon on the switchin and pressure Pokemon them from switching in and out. Thunder Wave can be used to help slow down fast Pokemon that Duraludon cannot take care of too well (I don't know why this is repeated, I moved the "cannot take care of" part in the previous sentence mentioning Thunder Wave). Having mMaxinum Speed investment with a Choice Scarf allows Duraludon to outpace Choice Scarf Dracovish and Gardevoir.

All Dragon-types appreciate Duraludon's Steel-typing,(AC) to which threatens both Fairy- and Ice-types. They also love appreciate Duraludon's ability to set down Stealth Rock to and chip Bug-, Ice- and Flying-types,(AC) to which makes it easier for set up setup attackers such as Kommo-o to sweep teams,(AC) as well as its ability to slowing down the opposing team with Thunder Wave to help with threats such as Gardevoir. However, Duraludon cannot take Fighting-type attacks well, so Dragapult makes a great partner since it can able to come in on these type of attacks. Duraludon also struggles with Ground-types like Excadrill and Flygon,(AC) so having Nasty Plot Hydreigon or and Noivern make great partners,(AC) due to their powerful Special attacks (I don't know if you're referring to their stats or their special moves, I'm going to consider this as "moves") being able to take care of them with their powerful special attacks and having a Ground immunity due to having with Levitate or a and Flying typing, respectively. Dracovish and Dracozolt are good wallbreakers and revenge killers due to them being capable to of breaking walls such as Hippowdon and Toxapex. Dragapult is also a great teammate due to its access to Fire Blast helping to break Steel-types such as Ferrothorn,(AC) that which Duraludon cannot take care of struggles against.(AFS) (changed this to avoid repetition of this structure, which also occurs in the following sentence) such as Ferrothorn In addition,(AC) and use its Ghost typing to helps take care of Galarian Corsola and Mew. Kommo-o makes a great partner due to having ("due to" has a more negative connotation, in this case you're trying to underline the positive qualities of a certain mon, hence why I changed this) thanks to its access to Taunt to stop opposing entry hazard settlers can set down and its ability to set up Stealth Rock,(AC) which that makes it easier for Duraludon to get KOs.
