Monotype Duraludon

[Havens]

Duraludon @ Choice Scarf (Dragon)
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Flash Cannon
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock / Thunderbolt

Choice Scarf Duraludon is a staple pick for Dragon teams, as it assists teammates in the Fairy-, Psychic-, and Ice-type matchups while also acting as a solid revenge killer. Its access to a STAB-boosted Flash Cannon and solid Speed stat when paired with a Choice Scarf is essential to take on problematic foes such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Alolan Ninetales. Alongside its great STAB moves are two solid utility moves in Thunder Wave and Stealth Rock; the former is used to slow down fast foes such as Jirachi, while the latter puts foes in range of attacks from itself and its teammates. Thunderbolt can be substituted over Stealth Rock as a means of taking on foes like Corviknight and Toxapex. The roles that Duraludon provide synergize well with teammates like Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Kyurem-B, as their incredible wallbreaking and revenge killing capabilities muscle through various types and teams with ease. The latter two teammates are especially important, as they handle Steel-types that Duraludon can't break and appreciate it dealing with Fairy-types for them.

Choice Scarf Duraludon is a staple pick for Dragon teams as it assists them in taking on the Fairy- and Ice-type matchups while also acting as a solid revenge killer. Its access to STAB boosted Flash Cannon and solid speed when paired with a Choice Scarf is essential to take on problematic foes such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Alolan Ninetales. (probably worth mentioning that its ability to outspeed Scarf Gardevoir is valuable in the Psychic matchup as well.) Alongside its great STAB moves are two solid utility moves in Thunder Wave and Stealth Rock; the former is used to slow down fast foes such as Dragon Dance Gyarados, while the latter is an entry hazard that puts foes in range of attacks from itself and its teammates. Thunderbolt can be substituted over Stealth Rock as a means of taking on foes like Corviknight and Toxapex. (I would slash Thunderbolt first here since Kommo-o is the main Stealth Rock user and is on most teams. Since you'd be using Thunderbolt on Gyarados find a different example that Thunder Wave cripples such as Jirachi or something.) The roles that Duraludon provides synergize well with teammates like Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Kyurem-B, as their incredible wallbreaking and revenge killing capabilities muscle through various types and teams with ease. (mention here that since Duraludon can't break through most Steel-types it benefits from Hydreigon and Dragapult's ability to do so and in return Duraludon can revenge kill troublesome Fairy-types.)

You are quite a bit over 1,000 characters, so I did try to trim a tiny bit of unnecessary info but everything else is pretty relevant.
