Strategy Overview
Haxorus has a niche on DragMag teams due to how Magnezone removing Skarmory allows it to make great use of its colossal Attack stat. However, it's mostly outclassed by the other Dragon-types in the tier such as Garchomp, Dragonite, Salamence, and especially Kyurem-B, as they are either faster or, in the case of Kyurem-B, stronger than Haxorus. They also all have a better defensive presence due to their better bulk and typings. Haxorus's meager defensive profile and middling Speed tier make it prone to being revenge killed by common offensive Pokemon like Latios, Garchomp, Keldeo, and Alakazam before setting up. Even after setting up, it's still vulnerable to Choice Scarf users like Latios, Keldeo, and Garchomp.
