[SET COMMENTS]
With Reshiram's fire typing, making it so that he can't be burned by the likes of Will-O-wisp or Sacred Fire along with his access to Dragon Dance, and with no checks, Reshiram is one of the best physical sweepers. Reshiram is also Dynamax worthy with Dragon Dance not only increases his speed but his firepower as well. Flare Blitz is there as one of his most powerful STAB moves to hit all the opposing steel types. Outrage is there to OHKO Defensive Zygarde, Defensive Eternatus, and Giratina at +1 which would otherwise wall Reshiram or possibly take him, and it's also his other most powerful STAB move. Stone Edge is there to OHKO Ho-Oh since he lives a +1 Outrage and Stone Edge can be used to possibly take out an opposing Reshiram. Alternatively, Roost can be used to recover HP and keep Reshiram alive to continue Its Dragon Dance sweep. Reshirams EVs along with his Life Orb are used to maximize his damage output along with outspeeding Zacian at +1 speed with Jolly.

Reshiram best fits on offensive and hyper offensive teams that would appreciate Reshiram having no checks and with his incredible power. Reshiram would greatly appreciate Exadrill as a teammate since he can set up Stealth Rock and remove Stealth Rock with Rapid Spin. Offensive teammates like Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, Groudon, Zekrom, or Zygarde-C would do great with Reshiram since he can make holes in teams while also maybe taking out their checks and counters for them to continue the offensive pressure. Reshiram isn't easy to deal with making him a very strong pick for offensive and hyper offensive teams.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Draco Meteor can be run over Outrage with an EV spread of 232 Atk / 24 Spa / 252 Spe with Naughty or Naive so that he won't be locked into a dragon move versus a fairy type. The 24 EVs in Spa lets him OHKO Defensive Zygarde, Giratina, and Specially Defensive Eternatus after Stealth Rock chip.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Ditto**: Ditto is not a check but it's the only way to truly beat Reshiram. With Ditto coping Reshiram's amazing power and being able to use it against him, Ditto becomes a problem.

Hey there. This analysis really doesn't have the level of detail or professionalism that we need. Additionally, it paints an inaccurate picture of Reshiram as a meta-defining, unstoppable sweeper, while completely failing to mention that it's incredibly held back by a lack of free setup turns and crippled by hazards. In addition, the writing style is far too informal (especially with the usage of gendered pronouns [Pokemon should always be referred to with "it".]) and would make this take hours to QC check. I'd like this to go back into WIP and come out with a much more formal writing style and more accurate information. Lastly, the Spelling and Grammar standards are your friends and should really help clean this up.
