1v1 Regidrago

Regidrago @ Haban Berry
Ability: Dragon's Maw
EVs: 28 Atk / 244 Def / 132 SpD / 104 Spe
Rash Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake

Freed from HOME, Regidrago finds itself blasting foes with Outrages and Draco Meteors all around. With Dragon's Maw stacked with STAB, its Dragon-type attacks hit incredibly hard, especially Outrage with Dragon Dance. Its Draco Meteor should not be underestimated either, being able to beat physical walls such as some Donphan and Dondozo. Earthquake is to deal with some Steel-types such as Magnezone and Heatran. The EV spread allows Regidrago to beat Dragapult, Walking Wake, and Landorus after a Dragon Dance. With its raw power combined with Dragon Dance, its ability to grab OHKOs is why it's a formidable choice in 1v1. Despite having Earthquake for coverage, Regidrago cannot win against Fairy-types, and it even has a hard time beating certain Steel-types such as Corviknight and Kingambit. Thus it is preferred to pair it with a Pokemon that can deal with these matchups, such as Volcanion or Skeledirge.

Its defensive spread along with a Haban berry lets it survive an Outrage from attack-boosted, Adamant Roaring Moon. Its Speed EVs let it outspeed bulky sets of Landorus-Therian and Meloetta, and the remaining EVs are dumped into Attack.

Not a full QC check, but the EVs are for Choice Band Dragapult + Choice Specs Walking Wake, the speed is for Landorus (Incarnate) after Dragon Dance

Freed from HOME, Regidrago finds itself blasting opponents with Outrages and Draco Meteors all around. With Dragon Maw stacked with STAB, its Dragon attacks hit incredibly hard, (comma) especially on the physical side with Dragon Dance. Though its Draco Meteor should not be underestimated either, being able to win against physically defensive walls such as non-Endeavor some Donphan and Dondozo. Earthquake is to deal with opposing Steel types such as Magnezone heatran as well. Its defensive spread along with a Haban Berry lets it survive an Outrage from attack-boosted, Adamant Roaring Moon, Choice Band Dragapult and Choice Specs Walking Wake since this is a spotlight, just mention the pokemon without the items/specific boosts because it's meant for a more casual audience to read quickly, I've made other suggestions elsewhere for this same reason as well. Its Speed EVs let it outspeed Landorus-Incarnate after a Dragon Dance, and the remaining EVs are dumped into Attack in addition to the comment above, for EV explanations in spotlights, it can just be "the EV spread allows Regidrago to defeat x, x, and x, and x after a Dragon Dance" since that's easier to digest quickly - you can be less precise in spotlights. here, it would also be nice to add a sentence about why regidrago is so good in 1v1 (especially since it isn't that good in other tiers) Despite having Earthquake for its coverage, Regidrago cannot win against Fairy types and has a hard time beating Steel types such as Corviknight and Gholdengo. Hence it is preferred to pair it with another Pokemon that can deal with these matchups, such as your own Gholdengo or Skeledirge volcanion also is a p good partner.

right now this reads like you should use dragon dance against wake - swap wake and landorus to make this more clear imo
