Dragonite @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Ice Spinner

28 years later and the original Dragon still competes in OU! Dragonite's phenomenal Attack further boosted by Choice Band and wide array of coverage moves make it a terrifying wallbreaker while also serving as a revenge killer and late-game cleaner thanks to Extreme Speed. Earthquake aims to hit Steel-type Pokemon, such as Gholdengo and Kingambit, that hope to switch into Outrage and Extreme Speed. Ice Spinner is Dragonite's best way of threatening the defensive stalwarts that are Landorus-T and Gliscor. Tera Normal turns Dragonite's Extreme Speed into an incredibly strong and reliable STAB move as well as removing its weaknesses from Pokemon such as Kyurem and Gouging Fire. Setup sweepers like Zamazenta and Kingambit that appreciate Dragonite's incredible knack at overwhelming physical walls are fantastic partners. Additionally, teammates that can remove Stealth Rock to help Dragonite preserve Multiscale, such as Court Change Cinderace or Rapid Spin Great Tusk, are excellent partners, as Multiscale allows Dragonite to survive super effective hits from Pokemon such as Iron Valiant and Enamorus.

I think Gholdengo is a better mention over Heatran, since it's more common and the Ghost-typing punishes Extreme Speed extra hard.

I think you could reword this and mention some Steel-type examples, like Gholdengo.

I'll take another look with Marnie before marking it 1/1

I think this could just be "hit Steel types" and replace Garg with Kingambit, and add Outrage so that it reads as "switch into Extreme Speed or Outrage."

I think you can move this towards the end of the teammate section.

Entry hazard setters such as Glimmora and Landorus-T are great teammates for Dragonite, as entry hazards give Dragonite an easier time fulfilling its role. Additionally, Steel-type Pokemon, such as Choice Scarf Gholdengo, that can deal with the Ice- and Fairy-type Pokemon that plague Dragonite, such as Weavile and Hatterene, are incredible supporters.

So this part I talked with Marnie and wanted to revamp. We want to put a focus on:

- Tera Normal (more of an inclusion/mention than a focus)
- Teammates that appreciate Dragonite breaking through physical mons. Zamazenta and Kingambit can work for this.
- For additional character count, you can replace/delete the sentence about Lando and Glimmora being helpful for hazards. It's not incorrect, but I think it works better for a full analysis rather than a short spotlight.

Dragonite's phenomenal attack Attack further boosted by Choice Band and wide array of coverage moves make it a terrifying wallbreaker, (rc) while also able to serve serving as a revenge killer and late-game cleaner thanks to Extreme Speed. Tera Normal turns Dragonite's Extreme Speed into an incredibly strong and reliable STAB move, as well as removing its common weaknesses. Earthquake aims to hit Steel-type Pokemon, such as Gholdengo and Kingambit, that hope to switch into Outrage and Extreme Speed. Extreme Speed or Outrage. Ice Spinner is Dragonite's best way of threating threatening the defensive stalwarts that are Landorus-T and Gliscor.

Teammates Setup sweepers (more specific) like Zamazenta and Kingambit that appreciate Dragonite's incredible knack at breaking overwhelming physical walls (you're still not breaking through dozo skarm etc as easy, you just keep them low enough or waste roost PP for teammates to handle them more easily) are fantastic partners as well, such as Zamazenta and Kingambit. Additionally, teammates that can remove Stealth Rock to (makes the interaction clearer) help Dragonite preserve Multiscale, such as Court Change Cinderace or Rapid Spin Great Tusk, are excellent partners, as Multiscale allows Dragonite to survive super effective hits from Pokemon such as Iron Valiant and Enamorus.
