Haxorus

Haxorus is known to be a kind Pokemon, but is strict about defending its territory. Its tusks could saw through the toughest of metal, and would still stay sharp if they did.
Haxorus is probably Unova's strongest Dragon-Type Pokemon, next to Hydreigon. It's just like any other Dragon-Type. High stats, takes longer to level up, cool design, great stats, awesome attacks, everything. Haxorus has a normal amount of HP, not a lot, but not a small amount of it either. Haxorus has a really high Attack stat with a base of 140. It has okay Speed, Sp. Defense, and Defense stats, but has a surprisingly low Sp. Attack stats. But that being said, Haxorus has many varieties of not only Special Attacks, but Physical Attacks as well. Also, kudos for that awesome shiny sprite.
If you want the strongest Physical Dragon-Type attack Haxorus can learn, you would give it Outrage. If you don't like the idea of Outrage confusing you and all that, you might want to give Haxorus Dragon Claw. Haxorus can learn Swords Dance, which sharply raises your Attack stat. It would make Haxorus a Physical monster! If you want you could also teach Haxorus Guillotine, one of those famous One-Hit KO moves. It can use moves like Counter, Reversal, and Night Slash as great Physical moves for Haxorus. It can also use great Physical TM's including Poison Jab, Brick Break, X-Scissor, Rock Slide, Shadow Claw, Earthquake, everything!
Haxorus has the abilities Rivalry and Mold Breaker. Rivalry is a risky move sometimes. If the opponent's Pokemon out in battle is the same gender as Haxorus, your Attack stat increases. If your opponent's Pokemon is the opposite gender as Haxorus, your Attack stat decreases. It's not bad, considering Haxorus already has high Attack stats. Mold Breaker is an awesome ability that ignores the effects of most abilities. Let's say that your opponent's Pokemon has the ability Levitate. It makes your opponent immune to Ground-Type attacks. Mold Breaker would ignore that effect of Levitate, and the Pokemon with Levitate could be hit with Ground-Type moves. Please note this does not work with Flying-Types.
So Haxorus is the whole package. It is certain to be a strong Dragon-Type not only now, but later in the future as well.

Positive Review- The Pokemon is strong, great, used a lot, Pokemon is good overall.

In-Between Review- The Pokemon is okay, not the best, okay, acceptable, has one or two faults, In the Middle.

Yikes Review- The Pokemon is bad, maybe weak, not the best at all, has a few faults, it needs improvement.

STAB- Stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. It's when a Pokemon uses an attack that is the same Type as itself. The move becomes more powerful because the move is the same Type as the user.

Eeveelutions- An evolved form of Eevee.

Staller- A Pokemon that takes up time in battle. They usually use something like Toxic, use an Attack to inflict damage and after that, uses Protect to take up some time, and rely on the Poisoning to defeat the opposing Pokemon. It also counts with Pokemon who use moves like Refresh. Usually a Stalling Pokemon has to have high HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.

Uber- A Pokemon capable of doing a lot of damage, mostly legendaries.

Tiers- Ranks that separate Pokemon into different classes, based on how often they're used and how capable they are in battle. LC is Little Cup, which is mainly unevolved Pokemon, NFE is Not Fully-Evolved, which are Pokemon that have evolved, but aren't fully-evolved, and Limbo are Pokemon being tested out to see how capable they are. To find out more about the main tiers, check out serebii.net, smogon, and Bulbapedia.

Entry Hazards- Things set up by using the moves Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock. These can hurt Pokemon after being set up upon the Pokemon being sent out in the battle. Depending on the Pokemon's typing, they may get hurt a lot. If a Pokemon is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, for example, they lose half of their HP. Spikes can be avoided with levitating or Flying-Type Pokemon. Toxic Spikes poison the opponent's Pokemon when they're sent out into battle. Two sets of them badly poison them.
