A lot of People run weird stuff on the higher end of the ladder because it catches common counterplay off Guard. Sap Sipper BD azumarill is a bit weird, but it makes sense when you consider that it can check Ogerpon-W and Rillaboom. Tera Ground Articuno has perfect coverage between Tera Blast and Freeze dry, the latter of which OU has very few resistances too. As for Dragonite, it has a lot of set variety imo, even beyond the standard Tera Normal ESpeed set. Tera electric + defensive variants are other types of DNites that I've seen other, better players use. In general, surprise factor works quite well on dragonite because it appears to be a telegraphed pokemon with Tera Normal Espeed, when that is far from the case.
Oh yeah, I'm the offensive Articuno guy lol. The concept behind it was that Freeze-Dry + Tera Blast Ground is absolutely absurd coverage in this meta. It's not even about the fact that it's basically unresisted, because a lot of other 2-move pairs can boast that. It's about the super effective coverage. Go down the viability rankings and look at the number of mons that are hit super effectively by either Freeze-Dry or Tera Blast ground. There are well-built and effective teams where literally every single member is hit super effectively. This is true of 3 of the current sample teams if you don't count Air Balloon Tinkaton. It's like actually nuts.
I suppose because Dondozo is so slow it can't outrun much of anything anyway, might be to get the jump on random Trick Room Match-ups once in a while?
This makes sense, thanks.
OK, follow up question. If an already boosted King uses Sight, then swaps, does it do the boosted damage then?
Future sight probably does not because (looking straight from Bulbapedia) 'Future Sight uses the user's Special Attack and the hit Pokémon's Special Defence at the time damage is dealt.' So, when you switch out after a nasty plot, your SpAtk is reset to normal. I am not completely sure though, so I will link the Bulbapedia page on Future Sight if you want to check.
That's what I figured as well.
You need 96 speed EVs to hit 200 speed and outspeed 252 EV base 50s like kingambit. If gambit is jolly you’d need 172 EVS in speed.
Thank you, I can mull the rest over with this info.
have any merits over 
?
Yes, while it lacks many of Slowking-Galar's useful resistances and Sludge Bomb, regular Slowking's resistance to Water and Fire, without the need to Terastallize, and STAB Scald, which Slowking-Galar doesn't learn, gives it a generally superior matchup against threats like Heatran, Iron Moth, Walking Wake, and Volcanion and allows it to spread burns, while the lack of a Ground weakness makes it better into Ground-types like Great Tusk.Does normal
I admit I haven't been terribly creative, although I have used Hatterene to great effect.
