  • Close Combat is preferred over Collision Course due to its higher power, but Collision Course doesn't have any drawbacks, making it a better move for cleaning weakened teams if needed.
  • Flare Blitz is very strong with a sun boost and potential Tera Fire, while Heavy Slam can reliably 2HKO Scream Tail and OHKO Dachsbun, the latter of which notably hard counters Koraidon.
  • Dragon Claw is more reliable than Outrage, since being locked into Outrage leaves Koraidon susceptible to being revenge killed by common fast Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao. However, it does miss a few notable 2HKOs without entry hazard damage, such as against Alomomola and Toxapex.
  • Tera Fire greatly boosts the power of Flare Blitz, letting Koraidon 2HKO some of the bulkiest Fire-resistant Pokemon like Skeledirge and Toxapex. Tera Fighting similarly boosts Close Combat to the point where it has a chance to 2HKO the best defensive Fighting-resistant Pokemon in Toxapex and Pelipper; after minimal chip damage, they are always 2HKOed. Tera Steel removes the weakness to Ice- and Fairy-types just as Tera Fire does, but it also provides a resistance to Dragon, making it very valuable defensively against Miraidon and opposing Koraidon.
  • Koraidon is best played aggressively, pressuring common walls like Ting-Lu and using U-turn to weaken its switch-ins, or breaking through teams without a Ghost-type with immediate Close Combat pressure.
  • Choice Scarf Chi-Yu revenge kills other Pokemon around Koraidon's Speed tier such as Chien-Pao, Flutter Mane, and Iron Bundle, all while greatly appreciating the sun boost and pivoting Koraidon gives.
  • Other fast offensive threats like Flutter Mane and Choice Band Chien-Pao, as well as fast revenge killers like Choice Scarf Great Tusk and Gholdengo, appreciate it when Koraidon weakens defensive Pokemon to allow them to sweep.

I agree with content! Make it 2HKOs and 2HKOing.
also:

Dragon Claw is more reliable than Outrage since being locked into Outrage is usually a death sentence with revenge killers like Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao
worded really badly. Maybe just say "..being locked into Outrage leaves Koraidon susceptible to being revenge killed by common foes like Flutter/Pao"

Looks good, not much more to say about it. I’d like a mention about the crowded speed tier but anywhere i think about putting it, it feels off so dont worry about it.
