<ul>
<li>Very slow, is outrun by most offensive Pokemon.</li>
<li>Depsite rather solid typing common Ground / Ice / Dragon moves can consistently force him out.</li>

[Set Recommendations]
<p>Dragalage @ Choice Specs<br />
Ability: Adaptability<br />
EVs: 120 HP / 252 SAtk / 136 Spe<br />
Modest Nature<br />
- Draco Meteor<br />
- Dragon Pulse<br />
- Sludge Bomb<br />
- Hidden Power Fire </p>
<p>The strongest and most effective set Dragalage can run, Choice Specs in addition with Adaptability gives Dragalage immensely strong Draco Meteors which can terrorize teams lacking a strong defensive Steel, Fairy, or special wall. Dragalage's interesting typing gives it a very reliable way to defeat Fairies with a STAB Sludge Bomb which beats even the bulkiest of Fairies. Adaptability was the saving grace of Dragalage, by giving it the power needed to wall break and get important KOs. An excellent tool against bulky offense and stall teams, Dragalage breaks apart defensive cores peace by peace. The speed EVs are mainly for aiding in this by out-speeding Skarmory, Jellicent, and Scizor alike. .</p>
<p>Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse are you main tools needed to break apart teams. With Choice Specs you can 2HKO a very large amount of switches that try to come in on Dragalage. Draco Meteor does a 71% minimum to CB Scizor, which puts a lot of pressure on it to safely switch in. Sludge Bomb is very useful for Fairy type Pokemon that think they can come in for free such as Togekiss. Togekiss gets destroyed by Sludge Bomb, making it think twice about coming in on a predicted Draco Meteor. Hidden Power Fire is for bulkier steels like Ferrothorn who can come in on a Draco Meteor safely without the risk of being 2HKOd.
opinions on bulkier set maybe, but idt it would work that well
[Checks and Counters]
<p>Dragalage doesn't have too many switches as of yet, but its Draco Meteors and Sludge Bombs can be switched into by Blissey all day without it having to worry unless it is substantially weakened. Ferrothorn can also come in on Draco Meteors repeatedly, but must watch out for Hidden Power Fire. Bulky variants of Excadrill can take a Draco Meteor and follow up to KO with Earthquake.</p>
<p>Dragalage suffers far worse from more strong offensive threats of any kind than those that outright wall it do to its slow speed. Faster offensive threats can dismantle and wear down Dragalage quickly, especially with hazards due to the amount it will probably be switching. Being weak to Ground,Fairy, Dragon, and Ice Types moves don't help it very much, despite its other large amount of resistances. Faster threats like Protean Greninja, Dragonite, Mamoswine, and Noivern. While they can't switch into it safely, they can all offer a revenge kill, as offense in general should be able to pressure Dragalage to the point where it can't safely switch in repeatedly.</p>
