[SET COMMENTS]
Dragonite is the premier setup sweeper on Flying teams thanks to its access to Dragon Dance and diverse movepool. Outrage or Dragon Claw are the STABs of choice hitting Dragon-type threats such as Gouging Fire, Latios, and Kyurem, Earthquake provides solid coverage when paired with its Dragon-type STAB removing Steel-types like non-Air Balloon Heatran and Gholdengo along with hitting Fire- and Rock-types such as Hisuian Arcanine and Glimmora. Extreme Speed provides utility in allowing Dragonite to clean up weakened threats along with allowing Dragonite to catch Choice Scarf threats that outspeed it even after a Dragon Dance such as Meowscarada. Alternatively, Fire Punch and Roost can also be used, with Fire Punch hitting both Skarmory and Corviknight which could otherwise wall Dragonite; while Roost provides a way to keep Dragonite healthy, regain Multiscale, and wall resisted hits from the likes of Barraskewda. The choice between Adamant and Jolly is Adamant being preferred, allowing Dragonite to remove Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire without a boost while Jolly at +1 can outspeed threats like Dragapult and Flutter Mane.

Corviknight and Skarmory are both great supports for Dragonite with both handling Ice- and Rock-type threats like Weavile, Mamoswine, and Tyranitar. Corviknight can continue to support Dragonite by using U-turn to provide safe entry and Defog to remove Stealth Rock should Dragonite lose its Heavy-Duty Boots, while Skarmory supports Dragonite with its access to entry hazards to chip down bulky walls such as Galarian Weezing, Corviknight, and opposing Skarmory which can prove problematic. Gliscor and the Landorus formes support Dragonite by removing Electric- and Rock-type threats such as Raging Bolt, Regieleki, and Iron Boulder along with using Stealth Rock to provide additional entry hazard support. Choice Scarf Enamorus removes Dragon- and Dark-type threats like Latios, Dragapult, and Sableye, giving Dragonite safer sweeping opportunities, and provides Healing Wish Support to re-enable Multiscale, allowing Dragonite another chance to set up. Tornadus-T forms a solid wallbreaking core with its powerful special attacks removing physical walls such as Galarian Weezing and Great Tusk along with removing foes like Ogerpon-H which can pose challenges to Dragonite.

Flying
--------
Encore can be used on threats such as Raging Bolt, Primarina, and Kingambit to lock them to setup moves while also allowing Dragonite to take advantage of Gliscor, Skarmory, and Toxapex on a predicted non-damaging or non-status move. A combination of Thunder Punch and Ice Spinner can be used by Dragonite to deal with opposing Flying teams with its perfect coverage, but needs to have Iron Defense Skarmory removed prior.

Dragonite is the premiere setup sweeper on Flying teams thanks to its access to Dragon Dance and diverse movepool. Earthquake is the main attacking move of choice providing a consistent source of damage into strong Steel-, Fire- and Rock-type threats including Gholdengo, Hisuian Arcanine, and Glimmora. Outrage and Dragon Claw are both strong STAB options hitting Dragon-type threats such as Gouging Fire, Latios, and Kyurem (maybe a better way to flow Eq + Dclaw is that these two hit almost everyone super well. Eq for stinky steels, Dclaw for non-steels [and non fairy, but you dont need to explicitly mention fairies]. Keep the examples tho they're pretty good). Finally Extreme Speed provides utility in allowing Dragonite to clean up weakened threats along with allowing Dragonite to catch Choice Scarf threats that may outspeed it even after a Dragon Dance such as Meowscarada. Alternatively Fire Punch and Roost can be also be used with Fire Punch allowing Dragonite the ability to hit both Skarmory and Corviknight which could otherwise wall Dragonite; while Roost provides a way to keep Dragonite Hhealthy and regain Multiscale (and allows it to keep on walling water-types like Barraskewda if needed).
*Mention Jolly lets it outspeed Dragapult and Spectrier at +1, while Adamant allows Dnite to immediately always OHKO raging bolt/gouging fire

Corviknight and Skarmory are both great supports for Dragonite with both handling Ice- and Rock-type threats like Chien-Pao, Mamoswine, and Tyranitar. Corviknight can continue to support Dragonite by using U-turn to provide safe entry along with using Defog to remove Stealth Rock should Dragonite lose its Heavy-Duty Boots (corv also beats flutter man and takes gren well-ish). Alternatively, Skarmory can support Dragonite with its access to hazards to chip down bulky walls such as Galarian Weezing, Corviknight and opposing Skarmory which can prove problematic. Gliscor and the Landorus Formes can support Dragonite by removing Electric- and Rock-type threats such as Raging Bolt, Regieleki, and Iron Boulder along with using Stealth Rock to provide additional hazard support. Choice Scarf Enamorus can provide support removing Dragon- and Dark-type threats like Latios, Dragapult, and Sableye giving Dragonite safer sweeping opportunities along with providing Healing Wish Support to re enable Multiscale allowing Dragonite another chance to set up.
*Add Torn-T, forms a wallbreaking core and Torn-T beats Ogerpons, esp H because Dnite gets mold breaker'ed

Encore can be used on threats such as Raging Bolt, Primarina, and Kingambit to lock these to setup moves to ease the matchup against these threats while also allowing Dragonite to take advantage of Gliscor, Skarmory, and Toxapex on a predicted non-damaging or non-status move. Gliscor and Amoonguss clicking Protect and Synthesis respectively allowing Dragonite to setup safely in front of them. A combination of Thunder Punch and Ice Spinner can be used by Dragonite allowing it to deal with opposing Flying teams with its perfect coverage (but this set is usually stopped cold by ID Skarm).
