Koraidon Limited Build

Legal regulations: regulation-m-a

Koraidon's Limited build is the Fighting/Dragon restricted that trades some of the raw speed of its other builds for a more rounded, adaptable presence in Regulation M-A. It still sets sun on entry and carries the devastating physical Dragon STAB and coverage, but its stat spread favors balance, letting it take hits while applying pressure. It is best used as a mid-game breaker or pivot that punishes the opponent's committed answers, and it functions on both aggressive and balanced teams. Its weaknesses are shared across the Koraidon line — vulnerable to Flying, Psychic, Fairy, Ice and Dragon — and it still relies on positioning and support. It pairs well with partners that handle the Fairy-types it invites and with speed control that keeps it ahead of faster threats. Its sun enables the format's sun-core teams, making it a flexible choice for players who want Koraidon's power with more margin for error. Limited Koraidon rewards balanced, adaptable play and is one of the most forgiving restricted picks in the format.

Koraidon Limited Build performs best when its role is clearly defined in team preview. As a Physical Attacker and Speed Control Pokémon, focus on positioning it where it can execute its job without being forced into unfavorable exchanges. As a restricted Pokémon, it will attract significant counterplay — plan support and speed control around it. Be mindful of Psychic- and Fairy-type coverage from the format's top special attackers.

When teambuilding, pair Koraidon Limited Build with Pokémon that cover its type weaknesses (see counters section below) and provide the speed control or redirection it needs to function. Review the common moves and items section for established sets, then adjust based on your team's specific needs.
