[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Although denied the powerful boosting moves its cousins have access to, Flygon can pool its resources and cause mayhem through the use of Screech. With its multitude of resistances, including immunities to popular Electric- and Ground-type attacks, and threatening STABs, Flygon can easily force switches and hit the incoming opponent with Screech. With their Defense slashed, even bulkier foes Flygon could never dream of taking on with a Choice Scarf are OHKOed, especially with enough entry hazard support of course. Suicune, Gliscor, Swampert, Zapdos, Gyarados, Blissey, Vaporeon, Rotom are just a few of these victims that would normally wall the common Flygon. This confronts opponents with a dilemma; stay in and lose a Pokemon, or switch out and allow Flygon to rack up even more residual damage with entry hazards and U-Turn, or potentially set up a Substitute. Life Orb is necessary to achieve many KOs; without it Flygon will not be able to take on bulky threats, even with hazards. Due to the rarity of this set, most opponents will not know what to due and might lose several crucial team members, importantly, strong defensive walls. (won't be so surprising when it's put on-site ;)) With these threats defeated, powerful sweepers such as Metagross, Tyranitar, and Lucario can easily brush through the weakened team. That is, if Flygon does not do so itself with its 100 base speed and excellent STAB coverage.(backspace)</p>

<p>Calculations to demonstrate power:</p>
<ul class="damage calculations">

</li>Stone Edge vs. Physically Defensive Zapdos: 100.8% - 119.1% (OHKO)</li>
<li>Stone Edge (-1) vs. Bulky Gyarados: 91.9% - 108.6% (OHKO with Stealth Rock)</li>
<li>Earthquake vs. Tank Swampert: 70.3% - 83% (OHKO with Stealth Rock and three layers of Spikes or slight residual damage.</li>

<li>Earthquake vs. Wish Blissey: 89.9% - 105.9% (OHKO with Stealth Rock)</li>
<li>Earthquake vs. Wish Vaporeon: 77.7% - 91.7% (OHKO with Stealth Rock and two layers of Spikes)</li>
<li>Earthquake vs. Hippowdon: 58.6% - 68.8% (2HKO)</li>
<li>U-Turn vs. Physically Defensive Celebi: 120.8% - 142.6% (OHKO)</li>

</ul>
<p>Screech is the key to this set, allowing Flygon to KO the bulkier foes and force additional switches, which can be taken advantage of with U-turn is an important move on this set for gaining the advantageous switch and wearing the opposing team down. U-turn also does respectable damage to bulky Grass-types, such as Celebi and Shaymin, that resist Earthquake. As Outrage's lock-in side effect counteracts the goal of this set, Earthquake is a must on this set as it is Flygon's strongest STAB move, and attack against most grounded foes. The last choice depends on what the rest of the team has issues with. Dragon Claw gets STAB and can hits foes like Gliscor, and opposing Dragon-types, that would otherwise wall this set. On the other hand, Stone Edge gets great coverage with Earthquake, and easily takes care of Gyarados and Zapdos, who are only 2HKOed by Dragon Claw. Substitute is also an option over U-turn to more directly take advantage of switches and hit faster sweepers like Starmie, but with Life Orb recoil added into the mix, Flygon will lose health rather quickly. Wish support from the likes of Vaporeon or Jirachi is recommended if this is chosen. The EVs maximize Flygon's damage output and Speed. Flygon can tie with positive base 100s at best, however, bulkier spreads are also effective. Simply lower Flygon's speed to different benchmarks and move leftover EVs into HP.</p>
<p>Since This Flygon really, really wants entry hazards, therefore, Skarmory makes a great partner. With great synergy, Skarmory can switch into Dragon-type attacks aimed at Flygon with ease and set up Spikes, while Flygon can switch into Electric- and Fire-type attacks aimed at Skarmory as well. Vaporeon makes a great partner, especially when Substitute is being used. Vaporeon can heal Flygon with Wish off of Electric attacks, and even Roar to rack up entry hazard damage. Since entry hazards are being used, a Ghost-type like Rotom-A is needed as well to spin blocking. Countering this Flygon is a tough task, as most of the defensive checks like Swampert are KOed with enough entry hazards. However, even after a Screech or two, Skarmory resists or takes little damage from Flygon and can set up or attack. Without Stone Edge, Gyarados may be able to sneak in a Dragon Dance, then outspeed and KO Flygon the next turn. Without Dragon Claw, Gliscor and opposing Dragon-types wall Flygon. A Skarmory of your own can switch in, taunt, and set up to deal with this threat, as can Heatran and Rotom-A can deal with Skarmorys. Vaporeon can beat Gliscor and Gyarados. Faster sweepers are a menace to this Flygon though; Gengar, Infernape, and Starmie can outspeed and deal heavy damage to Flygon. In particular, Starmie is the bane of this set as it can either spin and KO Flygon, making it hard to predict around it. Running a special wall or even Kingdra can easily stop and set up on Starmie. Due to Flygon's only decent 80/80/80 defensive stats, many powerful STAB neutral attacks will deal severe damage. Do not be fooled by the common presence of Starmie and other pesky sweepers, with proper team support, this Flygon can really pick apart the opposing team. (you're not writing an overview.)</p>
