- Very bulky on both sides, has 120 Defense and 130 Special Defense
- Instant recovery with Moonlight, takes a very long time for a Pokemon to take down
- With no Scizor and Tyranitar in the UU tier, it excels and handles other threats very well
- With it's ability levitate it gives it a turn to switch out and take the common ground move
- Has the ability to abuse Dual screen to a very high extent

- Able to set up screens, as it's bulk will help it heal up easily
- Reflect halves any physical attack which makes it a strong wall already with the defense it carries
- Thunder Wave cripples any sweeper or Pokemon that's willing to set-up on Cresselia
- Psychic is a great STAB move which inflicts quite some damage onto Poison and fighting types
- Ice beam is also a great option to have an effect on crippling popular flying types
- Moonlight is a great utility that Cresselia has access to, able to heal it's health by 50% not under any weather which is a nice plus in the UU metagame
- Rest is also a fine option to Cresselia but the 2 turn reset, means that there can be a many turns wasted
- Psychic is great to have over Ice Beam since it provides a strong STAB for Cresselia which can help it since Cresselia doesn't have that great of a base Special Attack
- Toxic is an option you can carry for this set, since Cresselia bulk has the ability to stall a Pokemon, but isn't recommended since Thunder Wave provides more of a team support with paralysis and the speed cut to help Cresselia out
- Psyshock can be used over Psychic just to provide more damage on the physical side, but not recommended since Cresselia will want to hit a physically defensive Pokemon, making Psychic a better option
