Kyurem 2.0 (Baxcalibur) (0/1)

[Yoko]

[OVERVIEW]

* Baxcalibur is a good offensive Pokemon and setup sweeper thanks to its fantastic Attack, great STAB moves, and above-average defenses. Its ability also lets it setup on Pokemon without having to worry about getting burned, having great matchups into Raging Bolt, Rillaboom, Ogerpon-W, and Landorus.

* Baxcalibur's typing can make it weak to popular metagame threats like Flutter Mane, both Urshifu formes, and Gholdengo before Terastallizing, which makes Pokemon like Amoonguss, Rillaboom, and Landorus appreciated. Baxcalibur also makes good partners with Pokemon like the aforementioned Amoonguss, Rillaboom, and Incineroar, which can provide it with redirection, passive recovery with Grassy Terrian, and Fake Out support, respectively.

* Baxcalibur has a tough time breaking through Steel-types that resist its STABs like Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Metagross, making it pair well with Pokemon like Ogerpon-H, Incineroar, and Landorus. Incineroar in particular is a excellent partner for Baxcalibur, helping it setup thanks to Fake Out and Intimidate Support. In return, Baxcalibur helps hand Ogerpon-W and Landorus for it.

[SET]
Clear Amulet (Baxcalibur) @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Thermal Exchange
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 220 HP / 196 Atk / 4 Def / 36 SpD / 52 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Glaive Rush
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash / Swords Dance

[SET COMMENTS]

* Ice Shard is used as strong priority that can OHKO Landorus and pick off weakened threats.

* Swords Dance can provide it with an opportunity to setup late-game.

* Clear Amulet lets it be immune to stat drops notably Intimidate and Parting Shot from Pokemon Incineroar.

* The given EV spread lets Baxcalibur survive Make it Rain from Gholdengo and Tera Steller Adamant Chien-Pao'S Sacred Sword. The Speed EVs let it outspeed Landorus at -1 and Adamant Choice Scarf Urshifu in Tailwind.

* Tera Poison lets Baxcalibur resist its weaknesses to Fighting- and Fairy-types, helping greatly against Urshifu-R, Flutter Mane, and Iron Hands.

Baxcalibur QC 1/1

[OVERVIEW]

* Baxcalibur is a good offensive Pokemon and setup sweeper thanks to its fantastic Attack, great STAB moves, and above-average defenses. Its ability also lets it set up on Pokemon without having to worry about getting burned, having great matchups into Raging Bolt, Rillaboom, Ogerpon-W, and Ursaluna-B Landorus. (Better mention as it doesn't have to worry about outside factors like Trick Room.)

* Baxcalibur has a tough time breaking through Pokemon Steel-types that resists its STABs like Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Metagross, making it pair well with Pokemon like Ogerpon-H, Chi-Yu Incineroar, and Chien-Pao Landorus. (The former two are very HO which Baxcalibur doesn't fit well into, Pao also stacks Ice types. Talk more about how Incin helps set up Swords Dance and How Bax helps handle Ogerpon-W and opposing Landorus.)

* Baxcalibur's typing can make it weak to popular metagame threats like Flutter Mane, both Urshifu formes, and Gholdengo before Terastallizing, which makes Pokemon like Amoonguss, Rillaboom, Iron Hands, and Landorus appreciated. Baxcalibur also makes good partners with Pokemon like the aforementioned Amoonguss, Rillaboom, and Incineroar, which can provide it with redirection, passive recovery with Grassy Terrian, and Fake Out support, respectively. (A lot of this seems better in the above section, while here youd be talking about in the above bullet point.)

* Icicle Crash hits Flying- and Grass-types like Amoonguss, Tornadus, and Rillaboom, while Swords Dance can provide it with an opportunity to setup late-game. Ice Shard is used as strong priority that can OHKO Landorus and pick off weakened threats. (Kind of obvious what Ice STAB does, better mentioning Ice Shard.)
