Featured in meta teams

Dragon OffenseDoubles

Two dragons apply immediate pressure with Extreme Speed priority and speed control. Gyarados takes the Mega slot for a Mold Breaker Dragon Dance, Incineroar keeps the tempo with Intimidate, and Kingambit closes — Supreme Overlord climbs with every fainted ally.

Screens OffenseSingles

Every slot attacks. Grimmsnarl's Prankster gives Reflect and Light Screen priority, halving incoming damage for five turns while Volcarona (Quiver Dance) and Dragonite (Dragon Dance) set up behind the screens. Kingambit's Supreme Overlord closes exactly when the team needs it most.
