Dragon Pulse
One of the main reasons that make Dragalge SpD so good is: it can reliably check Salazzle. A lot of teams use Dragalge as its main Salazzle answer, and switch directly into it when Salazzle appears, however Salazzle can beat Dragalge with Rocks if using Dragon Pulse, you just Dragon Pulse in the first switch then once you NP again Dragalge is no longer a switch. Withoyt HP Grass makes Salazzle lose to Rhyperior, Seismitoad, and Quagsire, but the first two aren't hard to wear down and the last one is run in stalls that always have another Salazzle answer, and you can also save your Z-move against Flygon and Tyrantrum.
