Notable moves
Its hardest-hitting attacks, one per type — from a movepool of 45 legal moves.
Featured in meta teams
Tyranitar's Sand Stream doubles Excadrill's Speed via Sand Rush and chips everything that isn't Rock, Ground or Steel. Garchomp takes your one Mega slot, Incineroar's Intimidate and Fake Out buy setup turns, and Gholdengo (Good as Gold) walls the status moves that would slow the sweep.
Two dragons apply immediate pressure with Extreme Speed priority and speed control. Gyarados takes the Mega slot for a Mold Breaker Dragon Dance, Incineroar keeps the tempo with Intimidate, and Kingambit closes — Supreme Overlord climbs with every fainted ally.
Mega Mawile's Huge Power and Fairy/Steel typing blanks the dragon-heavy meta while Sylveon's Pixilate Hyper Voice pressures from range. Corviknight and Gholdengo form the defensive backbone behind a Garchomp sweeper.
Mega Kangaskhan spearheads — Parental Bond turns every hit into two, so Fake Out chips and Double-Edge hurts twice. Weavile's priority Ice Shard picks off weakened dragons, Garchomp and Volcarona provide secondary win conditions, and Gholdengo plus Corviknight keep it from folding to faster teams.
