I will be writing a dinosaur battle. But I never have before. Does anyone have suggestions on what dinosaurs I should use or some tips and pointers?

I'm not an experienced dino fighter, I can do it well, but not amazingly. But here are my tips. Make it longer, it needs more content. Make sure you describe almost every step, if you can visualize it onl from words, then it is great. Read all of DinoFights's battles. I had a little series on battles too, and you can see how it changed to be better by reading other fights I've done. As for dinosaurs, similar size and weight, or they are rivals, and the rest is up to you.

@Deltadromeus "I can do it well, but not amazingly" whatever! Hahaha the Ekrixinatosaurus vs Giganotosaurus fight was particularly amazing! Anyways, I'd advise using transition words, imagery, good grammar, have a story behind it but also make sure it ends with a good conclusion or a setup for a sequel and, most importantly, take your time. Good ideas take time to come up with.

I'm not very good at writing dino fights, but some beginning tips:Make accurate statistics. I don't do this during the beginning drafts, but in the final phase accuracy is key. Make an intermission Of sorts. This gives the readers suspense and a little time to recharge. Finally, be unexpected. Readers love to find what they aren't looking for. Hope this helped!

The last part of my story has an awesome battle. Maybe not DinoFights awesome (maybe, I'll leave that up the the readers), but it's pretty good. Anyway, make it accurate, use the environment for or against, use details. As Delta said, read some of DinoFights's battles.

Use the environment and weather conditions. Cliffs, trees, boulders, etc provide great additions(falling off cliffs or smashing into trees/boulders). The weather can add suspense or change the outcome. My Clash of Giants fight between Tyrannosaurus and Alamosaurus had a thunderstorm and it had a great affect on the battle. Anybody who has read my fights knows that using the environment and weather is a favorite strategy of mine.

I loved that fight. I hope you don't mind, I used a rain storm in part 9 of my story, I didn't use quite the same way as you, but at a part, it was very similar.

I don't mind. That one was by far the most successful fight I did. Feel free to read some of mine as well. Especially the Rex vs Alamo one ;)

And should I use descriptive writing or focuse more on the action and surrondings?

Don't focus to much on one or the other. Try to get a good balance of the two.
