AAA Dragon Dance Roaring Moon [DONE]

[Gambit_Gamin]

[SET]
Roaring Moon @ Weakness Policy / Life Orb
Ability: Sword of Ruin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Knock Off
- Iron Head / Stone Edge
- Outrage / Acrobatics

[SET COMMENTS]
Due to its high Attack and Speed further augmented by Dragon Dance, Roaring Moon functions incredibly as a threatening setup sweeper. Iron Head provides coverage for Fairy-types like Scream Tail, while Stone Edge nails Mandibuzz and can bypass Fluffy walls like Corviknight. Outrage is used to deal massive damage to physically bulky Pokemon such as Iron Hands at the cost of confusion; alternatively, Acrobatics can be used to handle Great Tusk and most Ogerpon formes after Weakness Policy's activation. Weakness Policy can easily be activated by a weak U-turn from Corviknight, Manaphy, or Azelf, while Life Orb provides consistent damage. Applicable partners include Prankster Corviknight for its dual screens support and ability to pivot Roaring Moon in safely, and Gholdengo, since it has incredible type synergy with Roaring Moon, being able to resist Fairy, Dragon, Bug, Ice, and having an immunity to Fighting. Roaring Moon struggles against defensive Great Tusk, especially Fluffy variants, and Fluffy Corviknight. With partners such as Azelf and Manaphy for Great Tusk and Iron Moth and Gouging Fire for Corviknight, Roaring Moon's biggest checks and counters become quite threatened. Additionally, wallbreakers such as Choice Band Iron Boulder and Dragon Dance Gouging Fire can both physically wear down defensive walls to clear the way for Roaring Moon to get a clean sweep.

Due to its high attack and speed stats, as well as having access to Dragon Dance, Roaring Moon functions incredibly as a threatening setup sweeper. Dragon Dance allows Roaring Moon to raise its speed to outpace opposing Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Iron Boulder, and Choice Scarf Azelf. Knock Off allows Roaring Moon to get rid of Rocky Helmets used by Corviknight and physically defensive Great Tusk, as well as deal significant damage to any Pokemon that doesn't resist dark. I dont think STAB or DDance really needs to be explained, being fairly self-explanatory as a mandatory inclusion, though maybe you could include its ability to outpace the majority of the meta at a +1 in the summary beginning sentence Iron hHead is used to deal super effective against Chien-Pao, Enamorus-T, and Scream Tail, while Stone Edge can be used to deal super effective damage against Iron Moth, Chien-Pao and Dragonite, Moth isn't a relevant target as it dies to STAB Knock anyway with the added on bonus of ignoring Fluffy on Pokemon like Corviknight and Manaphy at the risk of occasionally missing. Outrage is used to deal massive damage to physically bulky Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Deoxys-D Deoxys-D is already scared to death of your Dark STAB at the cost of dealing with confusion, while Acrobatics can be used to deal super effective damage to Great Tusk, and all Ogerpon formes This isn't true as Ogerpon-C is the most relevant Ogerpon forme and takes neutral damage from Acrobatics while doing reduced damage if the Weakness Policy is yet to be used up. Roaring Moon uses a Standard EV set of 252 Attack, 252 Speed, and 4 Special Defense, as well as a Jolly Nature to outspeed Choice Specs Azelf and Iron Moth before using Dragon Dance. EVs don't really need to be explained when there is no specific EV threshold or competition with other natures/EVs The Weakness Policy item is activated on U-Turn so you can abuse this against Corviknight, Manaphy, Azelf, and other U-Turners. Applicable partners include Prankster Corviknight for dual screens support, Explain how it helps more specifically by pivoting it in and letting it better set up/trigger weakness policy and Gholdengo since it has incredible type synergy with Roaring Moon. This statement about Gholdengo is pretty vague, who and how does it exactly help with what Roaring Moon struggles with? However, Roaring Moon struggles against Scarf Azelf running Dazzling Gleam, DGleam Azelf isn't something I'd say you "struggle with" since after a DDance you outspeed and threaten it defensive Great Tusk since it's so bulky and is especially hard to take down without Acrobatics, and Fluffy Corviknight since it has a naturally good type matchup against Roaring Moon and since its so incredibly bulky. So it struggles with these mons, so explain how you could potentially have teammates that help with these matchups, how it appreciates having bulky pivots to help handle Tusk as well as help get Roaring Moon into position, having other offensive teammates that can pressure and overwhelm Tusk/Fluffy mons like Ceruledge)
Outline: 1-2 sentence overview explaining the mon's role, 1-2 sentences on important moves, 1-2 sentence on Tera and EVs / items, 1-2 sentences

(do you really need to include what comes after Corviknight? because Corviknight only has a neutral type matchup against Roaring Moon, and a defensive Fluffy user being bulky is kind of obvious. if you do remove you can probably merge this sentece with the next onr like "Fluffy Corviknight, but with partners such as...")
