Dragonite makes for a great wallbreaker and late-game cleaner on Flying teams. After a Dragon Dance boost, it outspeeds threats such as Zeraora and Mega Diancie. Earthquake threatens Steel-, Poison-, and Rock-types like Gholdengo, Alolan Muk, and non-Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine. Roost grants Dragonite longevity, as well as potentially reactivating Multiscale when its health is restored to full. Substitute allows it to take advantage of passive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Will-O-Wisp Rotom-W, and Clodsire to set up Dragon Dance, but Roost is preferred since it grants Dragonite more opportunities to sweep. Heavy-Duty Boots allows it to switch in safely without fearing hazards, while Leftovers grants it a form of longevity when it chooses to forego Roost. Dragonium Z can be used when Outrage is run to threaten Iron Hands after a Dragon Dance. However, Heavy-Duty Boots is preferred so that Dragonite doesn't rely on hazard removal to switch in. Mega Charizard Y is Dragonite's most important teammate, forming a great offensive pairing, with it threatening Ice-, Steel-, and Water-types such as Articuno, Alolan Ninetales, Corviknight, and Swampert, while Dragonite handles Galarian Slowking and Mega Charizard X. Corviknight and Celesteela deal with Fairy-, Ice- and Rock-types such as Tapu Lele, Weavile, and Ogerpon-C, and Corviknight also acts as a slow pivot to bring Dragonite in on Gholdengo. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides great speed control, outspeeding and threatening the likes of Mega Altaria and Iron Valiant while also dealing with Dark-types such as Mandibuzz and Mega Sableye. Additionally, Dragonite appreciates Healing Wish from Enamorus that can re-enable its sweep. Thanks to Dragonite acting as a wallbreaker, it can enable fellow sweepers such as Mega Aerodactyl and Galarian Moltres. Mega Aerodactyl deals with Mega Lopunny and Articuno, while Galarian Moltres handles Tapu Bulu and Pecharunt.

Dragonite makes for a great wallbreaker and late-game cleaner on Flying teams. After a Dragon Dance boost, it outspeeds threats such as Zeraora, Dragapult, (not in NDM :catknife:) and Mega Diancie. Earthquake threatens Steel-, Poison-, and Rock-types like Gholdengo, Galarian Slowking, and Mega Diancie (swap M.Dia and Glowking, other exampleswould be better). Roost grants Dragonite longevity, as well as potentially reactivating Multiscale when its health is restored to full (this lets you potentially use Will-o-wisp Rotom-W as setup food, for instance or pokemon that dont really hit that hard). Substitute allows it to take advantage of passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Clodsire to set up Dragon Dance, but Roost is preferred since it grants Dragonite more opportunities to sweep. Heavy-Duty Boots allows it to switch in safely without fearing hazards, while Leftovers grants it additional longevity on top of Roost (only used if you're using Substitute), but Heavy-Duty Boots is preferred so that Dragonite doesn't rely on hazard removal to switch in. (Dragonium is an option, allowing you to pop Iron Hands at +1 Outrage after Minimal chip/sr, the main guy stopping Dnite sweeps nowdays) Mega Charizard Y is Dragonite's most important teammate, forming a great offensive pairing, with it threatening Ice- and Water-types such as Articuno, Alolan Ninetales, and Swampert, while Dragonite handles Galarian Slowking and Mega Charizard X. Corviknight and Celesteela deal with Fairy-, Ice- and Rock-types such as Tapu Lele, Weavile, Chien-Pao, (man I wish) and Ogerpon-C, and Corviknight also acts as a slow pivot to bring Dragonite in on Gholdengo and Magnezone. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides great speed control, outspeeding and threatening the likes of Mega Altaria and Iron Valiant while also dealing with Dark-types such as Mandibuzz and Mega Sableye. Thanks to Dragonite acting as a wallbreaker, it can enable fellow sweepers such as Mega Aerodactyl and Galarian Moltres. Mega Aerodactyl deals with Mega Pinsir Mega Lopunny and Articuno, while Galarian Moltres handles Tapu Bulu and Pecharunt. (the examples are a bit off but it works...maybe get better ones if you want)

Dragonite makes for a great wallbreaker and late-game cleaner on Flying teams. After a Dragon Dance boost, it outspeeds threats such as Zeraora and Mega Diancie. Earthquake threatens Steel-, Poison-, and Rock-types like Gholdengo, Alolan Muk, and non-Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine [Right here its actually cruical to put the non-Choice Band because Band Harc actually OHKOs Dragonite from full even with Multiscale ;w;].

take off dragonium / outrage from the set as we plan to make it a separate set in the future; keep their mention in the text though, so people are aware the set exists
