Keldeo @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Vacuum Wave
- Surf / Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword

[SET COMMENTS]
With Calm Mind, Keldeo turns into a great sweeper that can threaten foes both physically and specially. Vacuum Wave is a strong STAB priority option to pick off faster albeit weakened threats like Meowscarada, Chien-Pao, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon. Surf is highly accurate, targeting slower threats like non-Choice Scarf Landorus and Gliscor, while Hydro Pump, although it has lower accuracy, brings more power, notably 2HKOing physically defensive Corviknight. Secret Sword threatens special walls that Keldeo's other moves do not; it OHKOes Assault Vest Hisuian Goodra and 2HKOes Alolan Muk after a Calm Mind boost. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Keldeo to switch in safely regardless of entry hazards, while Leftovers grants Keldeo a small form of longevity.

Swampert and Gastrodon make for good teammates, as they set up entry hazards that can help Keldeo sweep, and they also both provide an immunity against Electric-types like Magnezone and Regieleki. In return, Keldeo threatens Choice Specs Kyurem for them. Toxapex is another great defensive partner, threatening Fairy-types like Iron Valiant and Enamorus with Sludge Bomb; it also absorbs Toxic Spikes for Keldeo when Keldeo isn't running Heavy-Duty Boots. In return, Keldeo handles Ground-types that threaten Toxapex such as Ursaluna-B and Landorus. Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott outspeeds Pokemon that can shrug off Keldeo's STAB moves, such as Latios and Dragapult, while easily setting up Spikes with Ceaseless Edge. Greninja makes for another great partner, as it outspeeds and threatens the likes of Iron Valiant, Primarina, and the Ogerpon formes with Sludge Wave. In return, Keldeo threatens Hisuian Goodra for it. Ogerpon-W forms an offensive core with Keldeo. It checks Water Absorb Clodsire, Azumarill, and Primarina, while Keldeo threatens Archaludon.
