Dragonite is a threatening set up sweeper with its high Attack stat, colorful movepool, and good bulk in tandem with Multiscale to further support it. The aforementioned enables Dragonite to set up in front of revenge killers, such as Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant, and Mega Medicham. Dual Wingbeat provides good STAB for Dragonite, while Outrage with Dragonium Z gives Dragonite an immediate and powerful STAB that eliminates would-be checks like Landorus-T and Mega Tyranitar. Earthquake hits Pokemon like Heatran, Toxapex, and Mega Tyranitar. Ice Spinner let's Dragonite to heavily damage Gliscor, Landorus, and Zapdos. Fire Punch hits Steel-types that would check Dragonite like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor for major damage. Tera Steel allows Dragonite to setup on Pokemon that otherwise threaten it, such as Weavile and Tapu Lele, and provide a Toxic immunity. Heavy Duty Boots prevents Dragonite from deactivating it's Multiscale from entry hazards. Dragonite plays a role as a set up sweeper on offensive teams, where Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite’s ability to wear down or straight up remove the bulkier Pokemon like Heatran, Alomomola, and Iron Crown, respectively, so they can clean up after Dragonite. Dragonite utilizes its solid defensive utility with its typing to check Pokemon like Ogerpon-Wellspring and Rillaboom to benefit offensive teams in return. Dragonite also appreciates hazard support to weaken potential checks based on its coverage, such as Mega Scizor and Landorus-T, so Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Hisuian Samurott, and Landorus-T pair well with it as well. Dragonite also fits well on Hyper Offensive teams with dual screens support from Tapu Koko or Grimmsnarl, where it can safely set up multiple Dragon Dances to lower the risk of being revenge killed by Pokemon like Iron Boulder, Tapu Lele, and Iron Valiant.

Even without Extreme Speed isn’t necessary to mention because what if a new player were to see this and be confused by not seeing espeed, Dragonite is still an imposing threat to the opposing team due to its vast coverage options and naturally high Attack this clarifies a bit what stat dnite is going to be using most of the time; you mentioned it’s solid bulk just after this and its speed isn’t THAT high stats that appreciate having both Speed and Physical Attack EV’s being maxed out and still having decent natural bulk for future reference, EVs go after the explanation of Tera, and you don’t need to explain obvious evs like max max. The combination of Dual Wingbeat, Earthquake, and Ice Spinner is capable of hitting every single pokemon allowed in National Dex OU for neutral damage at minimum, while hitting significant pokemon in the tier such as Landorus, Gliscor, Ogerpon-Wellspring, Iron Valiant, and Raging Bolt, and Heatran for super effective damage. Ok so you have the right idea here, but try and rearrange these moves into specific sentences explaining what they do. You don’t need to explain dwb because it’s a stab move self explanatory what it does but for ice spinner and eq do like “Ice spinner allows Dragonite to hit Pokemon like Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Zapdos. Earthquake is able to hit Pokemon that would otherwise take complete advantage of it such as Heatran and Toxapex.” Smth like that, or just put it in your own words [Multiscale enables Dragonite to set up Dragon Dance safely in scenarios other Pokemon that utilize set-up moves wouldn’t, most notability being able this is mainly just fluff; this isn’t an analysis on dnite compared to other setup sweepers but about dnite itself and explaining its traits so it’s clear why you’d use it to set up in front of Pokemon that otherwise OHKO it, such as Mega Diancie, Substitute Roost Kyurem, and Heavy Duty Boots Ice Fang Zamazenta.] what is in the brackets should be in the section about its role (before you explain its coverage) Multiscale also synergizes well with Terastal Type Steel to be able to eat another hit that Dragonite is otherwise weak to so you’ll be able to set up an additional Dragon Dance, even threatening to outspeed and KO Booster Energy users Allows Dragonite to setup on Pokemon that would otherwise threaten it greatly like Iron Boulder Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant Weavile Ok so from this section there are some things I’d like to note 1. I don’t see the correlation between Tera and multiscale 2. That line that was rewritten just added fluff that didn’t really make sense (as it can’t really setup and outspeed booster users, as it dances once when terad and then dies to both) 3. In that same line “You” is used, which shouldn’t be used in an analysis because the analysis is about dragonite itself, not how you use it as well as avoid Toxic from Pokémon like Alomomola and Toxapex. Heavy-Duty Boots protects Dragonite from deactivating Multiscale and losing ¼ of its health from Stealth Rocks. Additionally, you can A set running look above for why “you” is removed, “additionally” just makes the sentence sound weird since it’s not adding onto what boots does Fire Punch and Outrage over Dual Wingbeat and Ice Spinner run and Dragonium Z over Heavy Duty Boots can be used, and being able to Terstalize to still have perfect coverage while also with Fire Punch targeting Pokemon that would be either immune or take neutral damage from Earthquake such as Corviknight, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn, and Dragonium Z providing Dragonite with a nuke option to ensure a KO on pokemon such as Ursaluna Ting-Lu Ting is a much more quality example since it can whirlwind dnite out, Zapdos, and Unboosted Garganacl from at full HP, and Landorus-T, Alomomola and Dauntless Shield Boosted Zamazenta after chip damage. Dragonite plays a role as a win condition on Offensive and Bulky Offense teams, where Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Diancie, Pokemon that have naturally high attacking stats but can’t incorporate set up moves into their movesets, fluff that doesn’t really add anything to what dnite does for its teammates appreciate Dragonite’s ability to wear down or straight up remove the bulkier Pokemon on the opponents team like Alomomola, Heatran, and Iron Crown so they can clean up after Dragonite. Tapu Lele in particular provides Dragonite with Psychic Terrain, protecting it from priority moves from Pokemon trying to revenge kill it such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham’s Fake Out, Weavile’s Ice Shard, and Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap, Mega Mawile’s Sucker Punch and Mega Scizor and Mega Medicham’s Bullet Punch, moves that can overwhelm Dragonite and put it at risk of being KO’d, while also making Future Sight from Tapu Lele stronger to help with Dragonite’s ability to threaten and potentially sweep you don’t need to include that many examples and future sight doesn’t really help dnite THAT much. Mention here how it provides useful defensive utility for offensive teams by checking Pokémon like Serperior and Ogerpon-W Dragonite also appreciates hazard support to weaken potential checks depending on its coverage such as Mega Scizor and Landorus-T, so Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Hisuian Samurott, and Landorus-T pair well with it as well. Dragonite also fits well on Hyper Offensive teams with Reflect and Light Screen dual screens support from Tapu Koko or Grimmsnarl, where it can safely set up multiple Dragon Dances without taking too much damage with the lowered threat of being revenge killed by Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant and have teammates that can simply out-muscle defensive mons that give it trouble, such as Pokemon with Unaware, Ferrothorn, Moltres, Zapdos, Slowbro, Corviknight, Skarmory, and Garganacl. this is way too many examples, making dnite appear less threatening than it already is; plus, this is what Ho is supposed to do and general knowledge of it anyways so it doesn’t need to be explained in an analysis about dnite

Good analysis with the right content, just needed to be reworded and have certain things be removed to get the ideas across a little clearer.

This isn’t QC 1/2 yet, once you are done implementing this tag me and I’ll look through it again to make sure you did it all right / make sure I covered everything I saw. Good first analysis bro

Yeah this whole part is just really weird, I dont like it since its a major sidetrack Dragonite plays a role as a win condition Win con is acceptable to say I think but why not just say set up sweeper on Offensive and Bulky Offense teams, This confuses me as a setence... where Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Mega Lopunny I don't think Lop and Dnite are quite syngeristic in general but its fine, and Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite’s ability to wear down or straight up remove the bulkier Pokemon like Alomomola, Heatran, and Iron Crown Order the checks in the way you order the offensive Pokemon, so "Heatran, Alomomola, and Iron Crown, respectively." so they can clean up after Dragonite. Tapu Lele in particular provides Dragonite with Psychic Terrain, protecting it from priority moves from Pokemon trying to revenge kill such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham’s Fake Out, Weavile’s Ice Shard and Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap.

It's arbitrary as written, but given that some variants of Mega Scizor need hazards chip to be OHKOed by Fire Punch and are unlikely to lose to non-fire punch sets regardless of hazards chip, I assumed the former. If this is incorrect, please clarify this such as Mega Scizor and Landorus-T, so Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Hisuian Samurott, and Landorus-T also pair well with it as well.

There is one aspect I'd like clarification on if at all possible, though.
