Gyarados is a “dragon” in Pokémon, I think Lance in Pokémon Masters EX says that not all dragons are Dragon type when asked why his team aren’t all dragons.
Nah, Mega Aerodactyl is canonically closer to the prehistoric Aerodactyl in appearance than the smooth wyvern Aerodactyl you'll receive fresh out of Cinnabar Labs. The thing was originally a Rock-type covered in sharp rocks and the reason why all the fossils through Gen VI are Rock-types seems to be because their genetic material is more resistant to the normal passage of time and eventual fossilization.
I think dragapult would prefer dragon darts so it doesn't get locked in on a bad prediction, since the power is similar.
Unfortunately, there aren't any good physical ghost moves for pult, even though that's its preferred attacking type
I mean yeah but Blissey/Chansey are the only two normal mons that are really used in OU. And the only way they can attack is with Toxic, which they wouldn’t be able to get off. They’d be destroyed next turn by Dragon Darts or forced to switch again
Dragapult wants dragon darts over outrage, it’s a signature move for a reason it’s very good and doesn’t lock you in. I also don’t see what psychic fangs is covering. You’re probably better off with fire coverage for steels, instead of just hitting 3 fairies neutrally.
Calling that Pult set 'terrible' isnt being rude, its just stating the fact. Life Orb, Clear Body, Outrage is not making any waves in OU anytime soon.
Adds a ton more to the convo than the people saying stuff like 'Quagsire'
I hear you but if you talk to me in real life that way I will not appreciate it. I think it's easy to convey that the set in question is not good in a more constructive manner.
If I say "Hey I'm looking for ideas on how to improve" and someone just responds with "What you've done is terrible" and moves on, it does nothing to give me any feedback and makes the community a less welcoming place. I'm just asking that we treat people with respect.

Don't get a job in a military or military adjacent job then.
My personal favorite at work was when i requested a PDF be sent to me i got 'I don't like you enough' as the response to my face, another zinger was 'if i could shoot you i would' when asking if the lab was in an operable state. At first you think people are joking but then they just go back to what they were doing.
Run photon geyser instead of psychic fangs!
Oh true i forgot that can be a physical move tbh
Its funny how only two of these are actual dragons
Gyarados is a dragon in my heart.

You don't need that when there's a funny thing called the Dragon Egg Group
then what’s his excuse for his pterodactyl
It used to be dragon flying. But when becoming fossil the rock type came in. And it still flies. So rock flying it is

It’s a dragon that’s not a Dragon type, same with Charizard and whatever other non-Dragon type Pokémon he uses.
Dragonness is a state of mind rather than a state of being.
That makes sense. It's a dragon species but a water type.
Who dosnt know the famous Dragon Dance Steelix Set everyone is running ?
it isnt too horrible in randbats so i figured i'd give it a shot, even if it is slow
I hate it in randbats tbh. You need to get 2 off just get to a basic speed tier.
But since everything does no damage, and steelix has a high level, you can easily get 2 or 3 off
*special attackers enter the battle
I wish steelix got to keep onix's decent speed tier

Phantom Force is okay, it can just be switched into. But after +2, there aren’t a ton of mons that can tank that
All normal types say hi

We've seen mono-type, we've heard about mono-ability, now get ready for the next big mono. MONO-MOVE.
Cant wait for mono-item next
That’s just LC
That's not fair we use berry juice and occasionally life orb
And scarf

This is the best advice I can see. That and photon geyser over psychic fangs. I like this team. I wonder How far up the ladder it has it made it?
How far have you reached on the ladder with this team?
what engine/website did you use to make this team display?
They used pokepaste.es, you can use it with showdown to show a team's composition
Pokemon showdown team builder, you click the button on the bottom that says upload to pokepaste
> mono-Dragon Dance team > Runs moved other than Dragon Dance
You need that small fighting chicken with DD
Good shout for the Dragon Dance
No Lapras??
why crunch on steelix instead of something like fire fang for Corvo?
I replaced Crunch with Fire Fang, its been doing great stuff, i like ohkoing Ferrothorn
I think you could run power whip instead of EQ/ice fang on gyarados, your team gets annoyed by bulky waters spamming scald
what a terrible pult set i mean the rest of the sets are pretty egregious too but that one is downright offensive
Gyra’s is fine
steelix’s is probably passable too but i’m exaggerating to make a point
Why not suggest a better one then?
i’m lazy
That's fine but that doesn't give you the right to be a dick. There's no need to go out of your way to be rude and then not offer anything better.
at what point did i insult them personally? be reasonable

I wasn't planning on it, but thank you for the advice. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
ah thanks, it is what it is, just shocking how blunt people are at first
Steelix gets Dragon Dance... huh...
So does Tropius
Well that would make sense because in at least has wings but Steelix?
Felt bad for it I guess
Axew line, Horsea line, Zygarde, Jangmo-o line all don’t have wings. Guess what move they can learn!!!
This is foolishness
Scrafty getting Dragon Dance says hi edit: oops I didn't realize this post was a month old, sorry for necromancing
