Koraidon @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Iron Head
- Flame Charge

This primal dragon terrorizes the ubers metagame! Koraidon aims to set up with Swords Dance and sweep, gaining Speed boosts via Scale Shot and Flame Charge to outspeed the metagame. Scale Shot, with the help of Loaded Dice, provides a high chance to land 5 hits allowing Koraidon to OHKO Ho-oh at +2. Iron Head deals substantial chip to Arceus-Fairy and OHKOs Flutter Mane. Flame Charge provides a way to gain a Speed boost versus Fairy-types, dealing significant damage to Zacian-C and OHKOing it at +2. Tera Steel grants resistances to Fairy- and Dragon-type attacks, like Judgement from Arceus-Fairy and Dynamax Cannon from Eternatus, as well as boosting the damage of Iron Head which OHKOs Arceus-Fairy at +2. Kyogre forces Koraidon's terastallization to decrease the damage of Ice Beam and overrides sun, weakening Koraidon's damage. Physical walls like Dondozo and Skeledirge are hard for Koraidon to break. Arceus synergizes well with Koraidon, cleaning up foes with Extreme Speed. Special breakers like Eternatus and Lunala threaten the physical walls for Koraidon. Additionally Glimmora leads provide valuable hazard support, helping Koraidon to achieve KOes easily.

Kyogre forces Koraidon's terastallization to decrease the damage of Ice Beam and overrides sun, weakening Koraidon's damage. i honestly don't think this wording is very good. would rephrase and combine this and the following sentence. Physical walls like Dondozo and Skeledirge are hard for Koraidon to break. Arceus synergizes well with Koraidon, cleaning up foes with Extreme Speed honestly this sentence is kind of meaningless. any scarfer can clean up based on this, explain why / mutual targets. Special breakers like Eternatus and Lunala threaten the physical walls for Koraidon i'm not a fan of this sentence either. while its true they do, that's only off of double switches / they have their separate checks. I'd like to see zacian-c or ndm or arceus-ground here instead as they actually share checks with Koraidon. Additionally Glimmora leads provide valuable hazard support include deo-s here too if you want to mention hazard setters., helping Koraidon to achieve KOes easily. there's not much mention of what the issues of this set in particular are, for example not having a strong move vs ndm / kingambit / ting-lu, or being tera reliant and weaker in general vs bold kyogre.
