Pokemon VGC '10!

[Cshad]

so then

what kind of strategies can I pull off with a Dragon-Dancing Kingdra?

Seriously; I don't know what I can do with it, who to pair it with, etc.

I want to give it Ice Beam to knock out most of the other non-legendary dragons and Rayquaza (since, you know, Dragonite/Salamence/Flygon/Garchomp all take 4x damage from it), and then of course give it its STABs
but I know Gyarados will wreck it, along with Dialga, and every other pokemon that has some sort of Dragon-type move (like Lucario)

but idk what else I should pair it with. I have, literally, no strategy here :C

edit: oh, right, and I was told to use Substitute, too


edit2: oh, whoops, just realized I'm aiming for a SPECIAL sweeper, not a physical sweeper, ahahaha. Guess I'm cutting out the Dragon Dance

I wouldn't use a Pokemon that, in order to use properly, has to use a set up move, you wont have time with all the Legendaries running around, use Choice Specs and Have Kyogre as a partner. Swift Swim Boost and a 1.5 special attack bonus. I'd also suggest using another weather abuser, as relying on a strategy that is so easily shut down is going to be a major problem.

Also Gyarados's only Dragon Attack iirc is Outrage, which is balls in doubles because it randomly selects a target. If you are worried about Dialga and other Pokemon like him run a lead set of Pokemon that use moves like Low Kick and Fake Out, just find a way to stop him. He'll also almost always be using Trick Room (some Palkia use it as well but idk), if that helps.
