Garchomp needs choice scarf

Remove taunt on skarmory and replace it with brave bird

And try a defensive heatran instead of aggron

Dragonite benefits more from fire punch than EQ imo. Also, id give charizard d-pulse over focus blast.

nunu focus blast is for them chansey/blissey and similar walls

Thanks for all your help guys!

If I put a choice scarf on garchomp then i would need to swap out sword dance as well right? Or should i replace the helmet with a life orb?

Hmm thats true. What should i swap heatran for?

*edit* oops yeah. matt said it. :p

Focus blast is too unreliable and cant kill chansey anyway. Without d-pulse his charizard gets walled by a lot of dragons. He could get rid of roost and keep both, coverage is more important for a sweeper like him then recovery imo

Would a STAB fireblast in drought do as much damage to a chansey as focus blast? If it does then i might not need to keep focus blast i guess. If no then I'll probably swap out roost.

As for the fire punch doesnt EQ cover everything fire punch would besides skarm? And i could always swap out for charizard or garchomp for the fire blast!

Fire punch covers skarm, ferro, forretress, escavalier, and scizor. All of them would be a problem if you only had earthquake. As for fire blast, stab increases by 50% and so does drought, so focus blast really isnt worth it. Accuracy is too unreliable, plus other dragons become a big problem without d-pulse. And yes, if you use a scarf you will want to ditch swords dance.

Oh yeah! I forgot about bug type resistances.. :/ Noob mistake haha.
Would roost or focus blast be better for dragonite?

Fire Blast and Focus Blast deal the same damage to Blissey:

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun: 184-217 (28.2 - 33.3%) -- 0% chance to 3HKO

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey: 178-210 (27.3 - 32.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
