[SET COMMENTS]

* Basculegion-M is a niche sweeper on hyper offense teams, primarily those utilising Psychic Terrain and Sticky Webs due to its mediocre speed tier and susceptibility to priority moves. Basculegion-M’s viability is tied to it being the strongest user of Last Respects, letting it OHKO to 2HKO almost the entire tier as the last Pokemon. Bulky Ghost-resistant Pokemon such as Yveltal and Arceus Dark can also be 2HKOed, and only Arceus can switch into Last Respects safely.
* Last Respects is the sole reason for Basculegion-M’s viability, as it lets Basculegion-M sweep through weakened teams in the late game, and will be the only move used most of the time.
* Wave Crash lets Basculegion wear down Arceus, 2HKOing it after Stealth Rock damage. Tera Blast Fighting puts even more pressure on Arceus, being able to OHKO it after some chip damage, while also 2HKOing bulkier variants of Arceus Dark, preventing Last Respects from being a roll.
* Flip Turn can be used to generate momentum if Arceus switches in, or if Arceus Dark or Yveltal switch in if Last Respects is not at full power. Aqua Jet lets Basculegion pick off threats like a weakened Arceus-Ground after a Dragon Dance.
* With a Choice Scarf equipped, Basculegion-M outspeeds nearly the entire unboosted metagame, with the only outliers being Zacian-C and Deoxys-A.
* Tera Fighting makes Basculegion-M resist Yveltal’s Sucker Punch, and make it neutral to Marshadow Shadow Sneak, preventing it from being revenge killed by them. Tera Fighting also synergises best with Tera Blast, to hit Arceus harder than Wave Crash.
* Basculegion-M should almost always be sent out once most, if not all other of its teammates have died, maximising Last Respect’s power. Generally, using Basculegion is fairly straightforward as Last Respects should OHKO everything left, but it has to Terastallise in order to beat a healthy defensive Yveltal or Arceus-Dark. If Arceus is on the opposing team, the main priority would be to either kill it with a partner like Arceus-Ground or Deoxys-A, or poison it via Glimmora's Toxic Spikes, limiting its longevity.
* Due to Basculegion’s susceptibility to priority, it functions best on Psychic Spam teams utilising Tapu Lele and Deoxys-A to punch holes early on. Glimmora is a solid partner as can set Toxic Spikes and Spikes, wearing down Arceus and Arceus-Dark, enabling Basculegion to sweep in the late game. Sticky Web teams with Shuckle or Smeargle can also utilise Basculegion, as the Sticky Webs let Basculegion outspeed Deoxys-A and Zacian-C, as well as other boosted Pokemon. Wallbreakers such as Swords Dance Necrozma-DM and Ultra Necrozma are great partners, as they lure and remove both Yveltal and Arceus Dark easily. While Basculegion is strong, it is still unable to OHKO extremely physically bulky Pokemon such as Zygarde-C and defensive Primal Groudon, so the aforementioned entry hazards help wear them down, alongside teammates that put pressure on them like Taunt Arceus Ground and Zacian-C.

QC 1/2 after it’s applied. Good job! The paragraph splitting is just for readability and to help this fit in with skeleton preview better. There’s some blocks of text about the set but most of it is up to another QC member since it’s an EV spread suggestion)

hi, just wanted to clarify on why i didn't apply some changes here.

an adamant nature on basculegion is horrible since it loses out on loads of things, namely etern and marsh amongst others. the given ev spread i also wont implement since the bulk doesn't change anything specific, and losing out on the A- tier mon mmy and other stuff like some dd ndms and zygs also suck. didn't add tera ghost since you wouldn't use it 99.999% of the time, as by the time basc comes out those mons will either be dead, chipped, or you will win anyways since basc eats a hit from them. if you want to beat offensive yvel on the switch, you can tera fight to resist sucker then ko it. getting rked by sucker and prior is awful for basc and what you don't want to do. i was debating tera dark to beat that + resist marsh sneak + not be see by yvel owing but i think fight is better anyways to own arc normal. lastly, on your last point zacian there referred to zacian by itself, not taunt zacian. if i was talking about taunt zacian c i would have specified. deo a doesn't remove them because neither of them want to stay in vs deo a, so its not really gonna happen

implemented rest

* Last Respects is the sole reason for Basculegion-M’s viability, as it lets Basculegion-M sweep through weakened teams in the late game, and will be the only move used most of the time. Self explanatory given the intro, dex info

* With a Choice Scarf equipped, Basculegion-M outspeeds nearly the entire unboosted metagame, with the only outliers being Zacian-C and Deoxys-A. No need to explain everything (dex info), the Speed tier details should go in the first bullet point if anything, also don't forget about Deoxys-S technically speaking
* Tera Fighting makes Basculegion-M resist Yveltal’s Sucker Punch, and make it neutral to Marshadow Shadow Sneak, preventing it from being revenge killed by them. Tera Fighting also synergises best with Tera Blast, to hit Arceus harder than Wave Crash.
