But you need a turn to set up this dragon dance. You need to come in, hopefully scare something out and dragon dance on the switch. By they way, they've switched in a check to your Zard, and depending on what it is, you might not even be able to stay in. For example, Azumarill comfortably balks your STAB, can wear you down with waterfall and finish you with aqua jet.
Another example of a great check is defensive Tyranitar which can comfortably absorb Charizard's attacks unless it carries focus blast. Physical Charizard is outclassed and should switch since T-Tar is going to set up rocks.
Jolly means your zard isn't complete chickenshit without a boost. It means you can come in on a pokemon that can kill you, outspeed it and get the KO. Yes, setup makes zard good, it makes anything good, but you won't always be in a position to get it off.
