Koraidon @ Life Orb / Heat RockAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: FireEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Swords Dance- Collision Course- Dragon Claw- Flame Charge / Flare Blitz
This thing can be pretty mean once it sets up. Tera Fire removes your Fairy weakness and hits hard under sun, which your ability sets. Swords Dance boosts your attack. Collision Course is really strong STAB that kills practically anything it is SE against. Dragon Claw is STAB and hits fellow Dragon types. Flame Charge with Tera Fire and sun hits pretty hard and allows it to snowball when picking off weakened mons. Flare Blitz is stronger, but does recoil and doesn’t give speed boost, but with sun and Fire Tera it hits like a dump truck on steroids. Life Orb boosts your damage, but Heat Rock is also a good item, keeping your Orichalum Pulse attack boost up.
Gen 9 AG Choice Band Nuke
Koraidon @ Choice BandAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: FireEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Flare Blitz- Outrage- U-turn- Collision Course
Time for another AG nuke. Tera Fire Orichalcum Pulse Banded Flare Blitz speaks for itself, OHKOing even resists. Collision Course isn’t terrible in place for Close Combat, as the defense drops are not appreciated. U-Turn acts as scouting.
Gen 9 Anything Goes
Koraidon @ Loaded DiceAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: Fire / GhostEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpeJolly / Adamant Nature- Swords Dance- Low Kick- Scale Shot- Flare Blitz
The current standard Gen 9 Anything Goes set. Scale Shot + Loaded Dice gives Koraidon a strong Dragon-type STAB, which would let it outspeed the whole unboosted tier after a +1. Scale Shot is the star of the set – it’s a better STAB than Outrage and doesn’t necessitate the usage of a Choice Scarf. This makes Koraidon a threatening late-game cleaner after its checks in Arceus-Fairy and Zacian have been weakened.
Low Kick is Koraidon’s strongest STAB move. It hits most of the tier with 120 base power, which makes it a Close Combat, but sans the defence drops. Low Kick hits Ting-Lu and Arceus for super-effective damage, thus forcing switches against some of the most common Pokémon in the tier.
Flare Blitz hits any Pokémon that resists any of Koraidon’s STAB options. It is super-effective against Zacian, which gets the KO even without a Swords Dance boost. It also hits Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Ground and Calyrex-Shadow for high damage, potentially having a chance to OHKO utility Arceus after a Swords Dance and Stealth Rock chip damage.
Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz’s damage output, allowing it the 2HKO on utility Arceus from full HP. It also grants Koraidon Will-O-Wisp immunity from support Arceus and helps it to resist both of Zacian’s STABs. This lets Koraidon beat most of its checks before getting the Swords Dance boost and gives it a 120 base power STAB, which can clean up well late-game.
Tera Ghost is a typical Terastallization type for most mid- to late-game sweepers and cleaners. It gives Koraidon immunity to Normal-type, thus letting it soft-check Arceus and its Extreme Speed. It’s only preferable over Tera Fire when a team lacks basic checks to Arceus. Tera Ghost serves no other purpose than to let Koraidon check Arceus in clutch situations.
Koraidon pairs well with Pokémon which can benefit from its mid-game breaking capabilities. As such, Pokémon such as Arceus and Zacian make for great teammates, as Koraidon can take on Landorus-Therian and Skeledirge for them, while they can clean up Fairy-types and other utility Arceus forms for Koraidon. Pokémon which can switch into Extreme Speed, if not running Tera Ghost, are also preferred because of Scale Shot’s defence drops. Because of this, Landorus-Therian, Giratina-Origin and Calyrex are good options for playing along with Koraidon.
Gen 9 OU strong, bulky, yet speedy set (for both doubles and singles)Item: Heat RockAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: Fire (chose it because Fire Type moves get stronger in the sun)EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 DefNature: Adamant (lowers SpA, boosts Atk)- Dragon Claw- Collision Course- Tera Blast- Ice Fang
Dragon Claw and Collision Course are STAB. Tera Blast is because all of the physical Fire moves Koraidon can learn are either not very strong or do recoil. Ice Fang is for coverage against Ground types once Terastalized.
Koraidon @ Life Orb / Heat Rock / Expert Belt / Muscle Band / Persim BerryAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: Fighting / Electric / Flying / Fairy / DragonEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SpeAdamant / Naughty Nature-Outrage / Dragon Claw / Ice Fang-Collision Course- Bulk Up / Swords Dance-Drain Punch
Collision Course for basically your main attack, which can be boosted by Life Orb, Muscle Band, and Fighting Tera, Bulk Up/Swords Dance for boosts, it’s up to you whether or not you go Atk and Def or Sharp Atk, Drain Punch for STAB recovery, and Outrage/Dragon Claw/Ice Fang for dragons. You can utilize some of the listed Tera Types to bait Pokémon weak to your attacks in. Sorry if this set is a bit too free-natured, I’m new to competitive Pokémon, so I understand if this set is bad too.
Koraidon @ Draco Plate / Fist PlateAbility: Orichalcum pulseTera Type: steelEVs: 252 Atk / 4 speDef / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- tera blast- Collision Course- Dragon Claw- Swords Dance / Bulk Up
Tera fire because fire negates the fairy weakness and is a pretty good tera type.Dragon plate or fighting plate to power up its stabs and swords dance for pure offence and bulk up for mixed.
Koraidon @ Heat RockAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: FightingEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Collision Course- Ice Fang /Flame Charge/Flare Blitz- Dragon Claw- U-turn
This my set for support. I set up the sun and u-turn out into Mane, which can sweep. Swords dance can replaced U-turn if you want to use it as a sweeper.
Gen 9 UbersKoraidon @ Choice ScarfAbility: Orichalcum PulseTera Type: FireEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Flare Blitz / Flame Charge- Low Kick- Dragon Claw- U-turn
Scarf Koraidon set. Flare Blitz is a powerful attack that gets boosted in sun. Flame Charge is also powerful and with Tera Fire and speed boosting it can allow you to sweep. Low Kick is STAB and 120 Atk power because most legendaries are above 200 kg. Dragon Claw is STAB. U-Turn to pivot and scout.
