[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Pressure stall Entei can easily beat many slower attackers, such as Choice Specs Volcanion, Venusaur, Dracozolt, and Assault Vest Goodra, while also dealing with some faster attackers like Zarude, Pheromosa, and Kartana well. Leftovers is mandatory to create more Substitutes. Protect and Substitute stall out opposing attacks easily, such as Urshifu-S's Wicked Blow and Volcanion's Steam Eruption, and Protect adds Leftovers healing to make more Substitutes. Sacred Fire can turn tough matchups versus Pokemon like Zeraora into winning ones with a single burn; on the other hand, Flare Blitz can be used for a more reliable Galarian Darmanitan matchup and more PP, which can help versus some opposing stall Pokemon like Galarian Corsola. Toxic is standard on Pressure stall Pokemon like Entei to take advantage of foes that require setup to OHKO them, such as Volcarona and opposing stall Pokemon like Chansey. Laser Focus is a potential option to defeat Registeel, since critical hits ignore Registeel's Defense boosts through Iron Defense.

EVs
=============
252 Defense EVs give the best possible odds to beat Adamant Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan. 252 Speed EVs with a Jolly nature Speed tie Zapdos, Galarian Zapdos, and opposing Entei, and they outspeed all base 95s, most notably Galarian Darmanitan and Tapu Lele.

Usage Tips
=============
Against a vast majority of Pokemon, the win path is usually stalling out their super effective moves via Pressure's doubled PP consumption, Substitute, and Protect. Toxic assists in this task versus Pokemon that don't rely on direct attacks to win, such as Chansey and stall Cresselia, or Pokemon that are too weak to OHKO Entei, like Zapdos. Versus Registeel, if you run Laser Focus, use Laser Focus turn 1 and then alternate between your Fire-type attack and it, or use Substitute turn 2 instead if Counter is revealed.

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Assault Vest Entei chooses to tank hits and outdamage its targets. Inner Focus is used to defeat Choice Scarf Togekiss and non-Choice Band Arcanine. Sacred Fire can be used for the 50% burn chance, but Flare Blitz is generally better for its higher damage and PP, defeating Venusaur and Aromatisse far more reliably. Bulldoze is mandatory to deal with Pokemon such as Heatran, Assault Vest Arcanine, and Spectrier. Eruption deals incredible damage to Pokemon with low Special Defense, such as Steelix, Registeel, and Avalugg, while making the Aromatisse matchup more consistent. Stone Edge, however, can be used instead to deal with Kee Berry Volcarona and Rotom-H. Extreme Speed is an excellent, high-damage move that deals with Custap Berry users and Air Balloon Heatran.

EVs
=============
The Special Defense and HP investment lets Entei tank two Earth Powers from Modest Heatran. With a Jolly nature, 216 Speed EVs outspeed Adamant Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan, and Entei still defeats Venusaur if using Flare Blitz. An Adamant nature can be used instead to make the Aromatisse matchup more consistent, but this loses out on the Galarian Darmanitan matchup.

An alternative EV spread of 8 HP / 76 Atk / 208 Def / 216 Spe with a Jolly nature gives a more reliable Galarian Darmanitan matchup, tanking Jolly Choice Scarf Darmanitan's Earthquake.

Usage Tips
=============
Use Extreme Speed on Air Balloon Pokemon like Heatran. Sacred Fire is used on targets that instantaneously lose when burned, such as Zeraora. Use Eruption versus Aromatisse if you think it is physically defensive, and Flare Blitz or Sacred Fire otherwise. Eruption is also used for Steelix and Avalugg. Entei is fairly straightforward outside of these scenarios; the most effective move usually wins.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Assault Vest Entei can use Pressure over Inner Focus to bluff stall, but generally Inner Focus is better to maintain consistency versus Togekiss, Arcanine, and random moves with flinch chances like Galarian Moltres's Fiery Wrath.

Entei can run a Life Orb set with Inner Focus, EVs of 184 HP / 92 Atk / 16 Def / 216 Spe, and an Adamant nature for a more reliable matchup against Togekiss, Avalugg, Steelix, and Zapdos, using a moveset of Sacred Fire / Extreme Speed / Will-O-Wisp / Eruption; Bulldoze can be slotted in over Will-O-Wisp to beat Heatran. Life Orb Entei sees far less usage due to its few upsides and lower consistency in practice than Assault Vest.

Set Description
=============
Pressure Stall gives Entei the ability to easily beat many slower attackers, such as Choice Specs Volcanion, Choice Band Crustle, Life Orb Dracovish, and Assault Vest Goodra, among others, while also dealing well with some faster attackers like Zeraora, Pheromosa, and Kartana. Leftovers is essentially mandatory to maintain consistent passive healing, so that Entei gains more Substitutes. allowing Entei to use Substitute more Protect and Substitute are used to stall out opposing attacks easily. mention that mons with low pp moves get stalled out you can reuse the same examples Sacred Fire is used for its ability to inflict a burn, though Flare Blitz can be used instead for a more reliable Galarian Darmanitan matchup as well as having more PP, which can help versus some opposing stall like Galarian Corsola. Toxic is the standard on Pressure Stall Pokemon like Entei to take advantage of foes that require setup example here to break through a Substitute or opposing stall like Chansey. Laser Focus is a potential option to defeat Registeel, since critical hits ignore Registeel's Defense boosts.

EVs
=============
252 Defense gives the best possible odds against Adamant Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan. 252 Speed with a Jolly nature speedties Galarian Zapdos both Zapdos formes as well as opposing Entei, and outspeeds all base 95s, most notably Galarian Darmanitan. add 1 more example maybe kyurem or lele 4 EVs are put into Attack since putting them into HP would not improve odds versus Galarian Darmanitan. does not secure any matchups.

Usage Tips
=============
Against many, many a vast majority of Pokemon, the win path is usually stalling out their supereffective moves using via Pressure's doubled PP consumption. Toxic assists in this task versus Pokemon who don't rely on direct attacks to win, such as the aforementioned Chansey, as well as Stall Cresselia. add an offensive mention and on that note maybe reword it to say like who rely on setup or indirect attacks to win Versus Registeel, if you have Laser Focus, repeatedly use Sacred Fire or Flare Blitz removed brackets and Laser Focus in sequence.

Set Description
=============
Assault Vest Entei takes a different approach to winning games, instead not really needed but you can keep it if you want its just filler choosing chooses to outbulk tank hits and outdamage its targets. Inner Focus is used to defeat Choice Scarf Togekiss and Non-Choice Band Arcanine. Sacred Fire can be used for the 50% burn chance, but Flare Blitz is generally better for its higher damage and PP. Bulldoze is mandatory to deal with Pokemon such as Heatran and Assault Vest Arcanine. Eruption is used to deal incredible damage to Pokemon with weak Special Defense, such as Steelix, Registeel and Avalugg, while securing the Aromatisse matchup. Stone Edge, however, can be used instead to deal with Kee Berry Volcarona and Rotom-Heat. Extreme Speed is an excellent, high-damage move that deals with Custap berry users and Air Balloon Heatran. good paragraph u can add more connectors to make it flow better

EVs
=============
The Special Defense and HP investment lets Entei tank 2 Modest Earth Powers from Modest Heatran. With a Jolly Nature, 216 Speed outspeeds Adamant Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan. All other EVs go into Attack. An Adamant nature can be used instead to make the Aromatisse matchup more consistent, but always loses out on to the Galarian Darmanitan matchup.

Usage Tips
=============
Use Extreme Speed on Air Balloon pokemon that you benefit from using Bulldoze on, like Heatran. Sacred Fire is used on targets who instantaneously lose when burned, such as Zeraora. Flare Use Flare Blitz versus Aromatisse so that Eruption finishes it off secures the KO. (added period over semicolon) Eruption is also used for Steelix and Avalugg. Entei is fairly straightforward outside of these scenarios; the supereffective move usually wins.

Set Description
=============
Pressure Stall gives Entei the ability to easily beat many slower attackers, such as Choice Specs Volcanion, Choice Band Crustle me when I use Rock Blast, Life Orb Dracovish personally I use Rock Tomb and don't miss early, and Assault Vest Goodra, among others, if there are others, mention some! while also dealing well with some faster attackers like Zeraora this needs a sacred fire burn sometimes so not reliable - perhaps a different example, Pheromosa, and Kartana. Leftovers is mandatory to maintain consistent passive healing, allowing Entei to create more Substitutes. Protect and Substitute are used to stall out opposing attacks easily, such as Urshifu's Wicked Blow or Volcanion's Steam Eruption. Sacred Fire is used for its ability to inflict a burn mention stuff like zera here, though Flare Blitz can be used for a more reliable Galarian Darmanitan matchup as well as having more PP, which can help versus some opposing stall like Galarian Corsola. Toxic is standard on Pressure Stall Pokemon like Entei to take advantage of foes that require setup to OHKO Entei, such as Volcarona or opposing stall like Chansey.

Set Description
=============
Assault Vest Entei chooses to tank hits and outdamage its targets. Inner Focus is used to defeat Choice Scarf Togekiss and non-Choice Band Arcanine, but Pressure can be used to bluff Pressure Stall could be in other options for all I care, just think it's something that can be included. Sacred Fire can be used for the 50% burn chance, but Flare Blitz is generally better for its higher damage and PP where exactly is this helpful?. Bulldoze is mandatory to deal with Pokemon such as Heatran and Assault Vest Arcanine, as well as the occasional and sometimes Spectrier. Eruption is used to deal incredible damage to Pokemon with weak Special Defense, such as Steelix, Registeel and Avalugg, while securing the Aromatisse matchup does bulldoze not do this as well? I tried to calc / test this and couldn't really see a reason for one to be better than the other for Aromatisse ngl. Stone Edge, however, can be used instead to deal with Kee Berry Volcarona and Rotom-Heat. Extreme Speed is an excellent, high-damage move that deals with Custap Berry users and Air Balloon Heatran.

The Special Defense and HP investment lets Entei tank 2 Earth Powers from Modest Heatran. With a Jolly Nature, 216 Speed outspeeds Adamant Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan.

Usage Tips
=============
Use Extreme Speed on Air Balloon Pokemon that you benefit from using Bulldoze on, like Heatran. Sacred Fire is used on targets who instantaneously lose when burned, such as Zeraora. Use Flare Blitz versus Aromatisse so that Eruption secures the KO it takes multiple eruptions after blitz. Eruption is also used for Steelix and Avalugg. Entei is fairly straightforward outside of these scenarios; the super effective move usually wins.
