Dragonite in gen 9 is the best showcase of not only both of the usages of the tera mechanic, by being able to run a defensive tera or offensive tera, but also a mon that survived the insane power-creep the recent games got, even on VGC Reg G I've seen some people still use Dragonite because of how versatile it can be, defo the "aged like wine" mon
There needs to be a good move that most flying mons should learn, like Dragon claw or pulse for dragons. Ofc this BEAST doesnt need it but yk great to have.
Last game dnite vs volc I believe double espeed should be the way tho. 1. Using DD then ex speed. - You could lose if you get crit (Play around crit) 2. Double e speed: - Full damage on 1st turn, Half on 2nd turn = 1.5 damage, the same as DD+ Espeed.
Yeah i agree, it's a super tricky situation to play around because I don't know the FULL set - if I Espeed raw and get a little chunk of damage off on turn 1, he could Morning Sun on turn 2 which would leave me at a net negative, and risk more flame body burns whilst he continues to heal up. I just wanted a reliable chunk of damage for Meowscarada to clean up!
One of the first pokemon I trained in regulation A was a physically defensive skeledirge because I was so sick of dragonite lol dragonite is even better now with scale shot thanks to the DLC
Cool channel. Would you be interested in making a video about how the BSS metagame differs from 6v6 smogon singles? Im interested in getting into it but idk much about it.
Yeah i'd definitely be down for that absolutely! I think i'm gonna make a video on OU at some point soon so i think that'll be a great opportunity to compare and contrast the formats
My Dragonite counter is Sash Breloom with spore and rock tomb. Also counters meow really well, Mach punch always kills unless sash. If breloom dies I’ll bring in my Tera fairy garchomp, that has been pooping on scale shot dragons in BSS. Just gotta have a ghost or ghost Tera mon in case of E-speed.
Honestly I am tired of this mon. It's so broken in this format. (Though it wouldn't be without Multiscale). I've lost to it more than anything else. And why does it have to get encore? That's honestly the most busted move-pokemon combo imo.
Yeah Dragonite is just so damn versatile, the worst set in my opinion to play against is Fire Spin Roost T.Wave Encore that mon is actual HELL and very few pokemon in the format can ACTUALLY beat it

Orange Island's Drake would thrive in Comp today.

@@orangea9458 Bet I got you guys! I can't wait to show you how strong this mon is because i genuinely think it's a top 10 threat
