A team composed of wallbreakers and offensive mons, with Rotom acting as a pivot and defogger, and check to certain setup sweepers. Sylveon runs four fairy moves as it doesn't really have much useful coverage anyways. It can serve as a decent check to physical attackers and can prevent opposing Latios sweeps with its great physical bulk and priority. Being a Fairy type it prevents Naganadel from safely clicking Outrage without the threat of being revenge killed. Rotom-W is a passive defensive pivot and defogger. It main role is to remove hazards and to pivot into physical attackers that it resists, primarily Azumarill and Magearna, and burn them. After that you can wear them down with Pain Split or pivot out to something that can revenge kill, if they are weakened enough. By virtue of typing it also makes a very safe pivot into Gyarados who otherwise threatens this team with its stab and coverage moves, and Mega Swampert who it usually just stalls Rain turns with Pain Split. It's important to remember that this mon is very passive and must be played carefully to avoid it being taken advantage of. Metagross is a physical attacker with decent speed, power and bulk. It's the best choice to pivot into Tapu Bulu and especially Kartana, and can revenge kill Keldeo with Zen Headbutt. Ice Punch is chosen to pressure Landorus, Garchomp, and Hippowdon a bit more. Bullet Punch is useful for chipping faster attackers and revenge killing weakened threats. Darmanitan is a special wallbreaker which offers the greatest agency against defensively minded teams. The moves are chosen for optimal coverage and power. Grass Knot is used to be a safer option against Hippowdon and pressure certain water types a little more. Naganadel is a basic Scarf set with EVs so that you receive Attack Beast Boosts. This set functions mainly as a revenge killer and late-game cleaner on this team. Fire Blast is Naganadel's best filler move as it can pressure the Steel-types that like to switch in to it, dealing about 50% to Ferrothorn, about 45% to Magearna, about 60% to Mega Scizor, and about 30% to Celesteela. It actually does less to Skarmory lol. This can actually let Naganadel serve as an emergency answer to an extremely weakened Shift Gear Magearna. Garchomp serves as an offensive Rocks setter, shaky check to Fire types and Electric immunity. It makes this team very slightly less weak to Charizard as it can somewhat check and provides the rocks necessary to pressure it. Don't get me wrong it is absolutely not a true check as it can be OHKO'd at +1 by Flare Blitz or Dragon Claw but otherwise it can win 1v1.
