[Valteyek]

[SET]
Haban Berry (Regidrago) @ Haban Berry

Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Scale Shot
- Breaking Swipe
- Outrage / Dragon Energy

[SET COMMENTS]
* This Regidrago set is made to counter some Dragon-type Pokemon such as opposing non-Choice Specs, Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt, as Regidrago's Haban Berry allows it to take one Dragon-type move from these Pokemon before KOing them.
* Breaking Swipe has the advantage of lowering foes' Attack, which helps Regidrago against the likes of Iron Hands and Donphan. It should notably be used against Gouging Fire on the first turn.
* Outrage is Regidrago's strongest and most reliable physical attack, whereas Dragon Energy can hit slower Pokemon such as Ursaluna-B and Skeledirge very hard without lowering its Special Attack.
* Thanks to the EV spread, Regidrago is able to tank any hit from Timid Choice Specs Latios and Choice Band Dragapult, survive Adamant Attack Booster Energy Gouging Fire's Scale Shot with four hits, and outspeed every base 110 Speed Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Latios, and Iron Moth at +1.
* Poison- and Steel-types such as Pecharunt, Metagross, and Iron Crown make great teammates, as they can beat Fairy-types like Primarina, Sylveon, and Iron Valiant, which completely wall Regidrago.
* Regidrago also appreciates pairing with Fire- and Ground-types such as Gouging Fire, Volcanion, and the Ursaluna formes to handle Steel-types like Corviknight, Metagross, and Iron Crown.

Ready for QC!

 

[Nuxl]

am check

*This Regidrago set is made to counter every non-Haban Berry Dragon-type Pokemon of the tier such as Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, and opposing Regidrago, as its own Haban Berry allows it to take one Dragon-type move from these Pokemon before KOing them.

every dragon type is kind of misleading, specs regidrago (relevant) can still one shot you so id change it to most with exception to specs drago

also specs raging bolt can roll you (much less common, so not worth mentioning)

*Breaking Swipe has the advantage of lowering foes' Attack, which helps Regidrago against the likes of Ursaluna, Landorus-T, and Iron Hands.

Most ursaluna should beat u anyway with avalanche so i just wouldn’t mention it

 

[Valteyek]

Nuxl I made the changes, thank you :)
The first sentence has become a bit of a muddle, but I'll let the QC team revise it.

 

[bern]

really good job by Nuxl on the AM check
(comments)

Landorus-T (I was looking on this and it turns out you do not beat Assault Vest or Choice Band Landorus-T, perhaps change it to a better example like Donphan.)

non-Choice Scarf Raging Bolt (not a common enough set to warrant a mention, just say Raging Bolt.)

QC 1/2, make sure to credit us both!

 

[Valteyek]

Implemented, thanks bern :)
Ready for QC 2!

Tera Type: Dragon

remove this plz

*This Regidrago set is made to counter most non-Haban Berry Dragon-type Pokemon of the tier such as Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, and opposing Regidrago except the Choice Specs set, as its own Haban Berry allows it to take one Dragon-type move from these Pokemon before KOing them.

Haban Regidrago beats Haban Raging Bolt, make sure to make that clear.

*Outrage is Regidrago's strongest and most reliable physical attack, whereas Dragon Energy can hit slower Pokemon such as Raging Bolt, Ursaluna-B, and Skeledirge very hard without lowering its Special Attack.

Remove the Raging Bolt mention since Outrage also hits them hard.

while outspeeding every Pokemon with 110 base Speed like the Ogerpon forms, Latios, and Iron Moth at +1.

Specify Ogerpon-Wellspring, as it is the only Ogerpon form that is not banned and is commonly used.

*Regidrago also appreciates pairing with Fire- and Ground-types such as Gouging Fire, Donphan, and the two forms of Ursaluna to handle Steel-types like Corviknight, Metagross, and Iron Crown.

Replace Donphan with another Pokemon like Volcarona or Volcanion, as Donphan struggles to reliably beat Corviknight and Iron Crown.

I would like to take another look before stamping, let me know when you implemented these changes.

 

[Valteyek]

Murm I implemented everything, thanks, you can take another look!

*This Regidrago set is made to counter most non-Haban Berry Dragon-type Pokemon of the tier such as Gouging Fire, Walking Wake, and opposing Regidrago, except the Choice Specs set of the latter, as its own Haban Berry allows it to take one Dragon-type move from these Pokemon before KOing them. In addition, it can even beat the Haban Berry set of Raging Bolt.

So turns out, with Breaking Swipe into Draco Meteor, Regidrago can even beat Haban Gouging. I would change this section to just cover the Dragons it can always beat.

*Breaking Swipe has the advantage of lowering foes' Attack, which helps Regidrago against the likes of Iron Hands and Donphan.

Mention that it should be used t1 against Gouging here.

 

[Valteyek]

Thank you Murm!!
Ready for GP GP Team!
