- U-turn

[SET COMMENTS]
Koraidon distinguishes itself from similar Choice Band wallbreakers like Kyurem-B and Mega Garchomp with its high Speed that allows it to revenge kill offensive threats like Ash-Greninja, Stealth Rock resistance, STAB that removes the need for Bolt Strike, and ease of Imposter-proofing. Glaive Rush and Close Combat 2HKO most Fur Coat users after Stealth Rock with Teravolt. Gigaton Hammer smacks Fairy-types that would otherwise stonewall Koraidon's STAB moves like Mega Audino, and U-turn racks up small amounts chip damage, most notably making Mega Slowbro feasible to KO without extensive team support. Wallbreakers like Mega Garchomp and Ash-Greninja that struggle with Celesteela or Fairy-type physical walls appreciate Koraidon threatening these obstacles, and their raw power helps Koraidon in return. Koraidon struggles to actually get OHKOs due to its lower Attack compared to the competition, so chip damage support, Strength Sap blockers, and slow pivoting like Spikes users, Magic Guard Blissey, and RegenVest users such as Mega Swampert make for good partners. Imposter-proof Koraidon with an Arceus forme that isn't weak to any of its moves like Arceus-Ghost or naturally physically bulky Pokemon like Mega Slowbro.

Koraidon distinguishes itself from similar Choice Band wallbreakers like Mega Garchomp or Kyurem-B with it's high speed, Stealth Rock resistance, a STAB move that hits Celesteela naturally all in one, and ease of Imposter-proofing kind of confusing because stuff are mixed around here since chomp has rocks resist and kyub hits steela (and both hit imposter hard as well), speed is the main appeal of korai and should be elaborated on. also the comparison isn't super good in the first place because korai has more of a different role where its role compressing rk and acting as a secondary wallbreaker. Glaive Rush and Close Combat 2HKOs most physical walls after Stealth Rock somewhere a mention for Teravolt needs to be added because its unorthodox in the tier. Gigaton Hammer smacks Fairy-types who would otherwise stonewall Koraidon's STABs like Mega Audino mention Flutter Mane as well since double immune, also audino is a poor example because fighting neutrality, and U-Turn racks up small chip damage along with hitting Mega Slowbro for decent damage mention putting it in 2hko range. Wallbreakers that struggle with Celesteela this was brought up earlier as well and I'm not sure why there is so much emphasis on Steela when CC doesn't even do 70 to neutral Steela so like you aren't exactly contributing much in helping deal with it or Fairy-type physical walls like Mega Garchomp or Ash-Greninja appreciate Koraidon either killing them for baiting them in for a Gigaton Hammer OHKO mention how Korai appreciates the raw breaking power that these provide. Koraidon struggles to actually get OHKOs due to it's lower Attack stat compared to the competition, so chip damage support and Strength Sap blockers like Spikes users and Magic Guard Blissey makes for good pairings This is a very important point of Korai where it has no burst power so its always doing like 50-70 to everything so the biggest issue for it is finding opportunities to come in (which is why speed emphasis earlier, because the easiest entries are stuff weak to STAB like gren and dragons), sapblockers aren't super important because korai can mostly 2hko stuff on the switch, so instead probably want to mention slow pivots that can pivot on the slower wallbreakers. Imposter-proof Koraidon with an Arceus forme that isn't weak to any of Koraidon's moves, like Arceus-Ghost probably add some other stuff here as arc is definitely not the only option.
