Choice Band Entei is a powerful wallbreaker and revenge killer that shines as an offensive presence on sun teams. Its ability to burn and cripple switch-ins such as Flygon and Gastrodon with Sacred Fire, revenge kill fast offensive threats like Raikou, Noivern, and Sharpedo with Extreme Speed, and take out typical answers to Fire-types like Incineroar and Volcanion with Stone Edge makes it a fearsome and versatile addition to sun teams. However, Entei's greatest asset is the sheer power of its sun-boosted Flare Blitz, which is able to 2HKO walls like Snorlax and Gastrodon after Stealth Rock. This, in conjunction with its ability to pick off weakened Fire-resistant foes like Noivern and Flygon with Extreme Speed, allows sun teams to bypass some of their usual answers. Torkoal is a mandatory partner that sets sun and provides Rapid Spin to prevent Entei from being worn down. Sun sweepers like Shiftry and Heliolisk can take advantage of foes that Entei forces in, like Milotic and Diancie, to wreak havoc.

The focus on it being sun oriented is a good move since otherwise darmanitan pretty much outclasses it.

In the context of sun teams Id think it would be a good idea to mention some stuff to pick up like Noivern as an offensive threat which is nice to pick up with Extreme Speed, given it is annoyance for sun teams, and I believe mentioning somewhere how it can pickup Sharpedo with the priority would be a good mention.

In terms of fire type answers... Darm also does the same, but lets more convoluted, just add some more focus into faster fire resists that Entei can pick up if weakened like Noivern and this should be good

And Idk if Doggo would pass, lol. Call it lion imo...

QC 1/1 once implemented

The proposed set had 0 Attack IVs, which was a mistake. Tagging spotlight translators: yelodash Blitz Sificon to let them know.
(Thanks to _sprinto99_ for noticing this)
