[SET COMMENTS]

  • Swords Dance allows Koraidon to boost its already great Attack stat and become an incredibly threatening wallbreaker. It can easily set up on Pokemon such as Corviknight, Blissey, and Ting-Lu.
  • Close Combat is a strong STAB move that allows Koraidon to OHKO foes such as Miraidon and offensive Great Tusk after a Defense drop.
  • Collision Course hits Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Alomomola reliably without any drawbacks.
  • Flare Blitz OHKOes Corviknight and can 2HKO defensive Great Tusk after Swords Dance.
  • Stomping Tantrum allows Koraidon to deal with Skeledirge and Toxapex, which otherwise wall it. A combination of Close Combat on the switch and Stomping Tantrum the next turn doubles Stomping Tantrum's power allowing Koraidon to OHKO its premier check in Skeledirge, allowing it to wallbreak consistently and effectively.
  • Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz to a very high level, allowing Koraidon to 2HKO Skeledirge and Toxapex after slight chip damage. Tera Fire also stops Chien-Pao, Iron Bundle, and Flutter Mane from revenge killing Koraidon, and it can block Skeledirge's Will-O-Wisp.
  • Tera Steel allows Koraidon to resist Ice-, Dragon-, and Fairy-type moves from foes such as Chien-Pao, Miraidon, and Flutter Mane, while Tera Fairy makes it immune to Dragon-type moves such as Draco Meteor from Miraidon or Dragon Claw from opposing Koraidon.
  • Some other wallbreakers such as Chi-Yu and Flutter Mane appreciate Koraidon setting up sun. In return, they threaten walls such as Alomomola, Toxapex, and Skeledirge that trouble Koraidon.
  • Entry hazard removers such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight are good teammates, as Koraidon wears itself down easily due to Life Orb and Flare Blitz recoil. A weakened Koraidon can be easily revenge killed by Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle, so it appreciates Corviknight's ability to switch into them.

Close Combat > Collison Course, everything faster OHKOes you anyway and you absolutely need the extra power. First slash needs to be CC without a doubt. Point out that it is the main option since it OHKOes anything that doesn't resist it or isn't dozo.

Here are some calcs you might be interested in:
252 Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Miraidon: 351-413 (102.9 - 121.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo: 230-270 (45.6 - 53.5%) -- 93.4% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Protosynthesis Great Tusk: 161-191 (37 - 44%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery (Collision Course does 30.8 - 36.8%)

OK there are quite a few phrasing issues and things I think need a change so I'll point out some that I'm sure need a fix. Blue is add, red is remove, purple is comment.
  • Swords Dance allows Koraidon to boost its already great Attack stat and become an incredibly threatening wallbreaker and late-game sweeper.
  • Close Combat is a strong STAB move that allows it to OHKO Miraidon and Offensive Great Tusk after defense drops without setting up.
  • Collision Course is a good STAB move that hits Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Alomomola reliably without any drawbacks.
  • Flare Blitz is a strong move under with the sun boost that lets Koraidon deal with Scream Tail better while also helps it OHKO Pokemon such as Corviknight and Air Balloon Gholdengo defensive Great Tusk after a boost. Stomping Tantrum allows Koraidon to deal with Skeledirge and Toxapex, that otherwise wall it.
  • Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz to very high levels of power allowing Koraidon to 2HKO Scream Tail and even Skeledirge and Toxapex after a slight chip. Tera Fire also stops Koraidon from getting revenge killed by Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane.
  • Tera Steel allows Koraidon to resist Ice-, Dragon-, and Fairy-type moves from opponents while Tera Fairy gives Koraidon immunity against Dragon-type moves.
  • Koraidon acts as a great wallbreaker as well as sweeper and can usually knock weakened foes out even when unboosted. It can easily setup on Pokemon such as Corviknight, Blissey, and Ting-Lu. You can add the second sentence to the first part.
  • A combination of Collision Course Close Combat on the switch and Stomping Tantrum on the following turn OHKOes Skeledirge, which is Koraidon's premier check, allowing it to sweep teams easily wallbreak consistently and effectively.
  • Other wallbreakers such as Chi-Yu and Flutter Mane appreciate Koraidon setting up sun. In return, they threaten walls such as Alomomola, Toxapex, and Skeledirge that trouble Koraidon.
  • Entry hazard removal options such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight are good teammates, as Koraidon wears itself down easily due to Life Orb and Flare Blitz recoil. A weakened Koraidon can be easily revenge killed by Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle so it appreciates Corviknight's ability to switch in.
QC 1/2 after implementation.

I think it would be important to add that Tera Fire also denies Will-O-Wisp from Skeledirge, as well as not letting Iron Bundle revenge kill you with Ice Beam / Freeze-Dry (although you are now weak to it's Hydro Pump of course).

really good job! only had 1 real comment, rest is me being pedantic about phrasing. I'd suggest mixing it up and not say "Pokemon" all the time when "foes" fits.

Is there a way to keep the CC-> Stomping Tantrum interaction? with how often Choice Items are run on Koraidon, being able to OHKO the best check is a big draw of this set, especially so in a metagame where a defensive check can Terastallize to stop itself from being 2HKOed.
