This thing serves as a general Protean check as well (so things like Protean Latias and stuff), resisting the big 3 - Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Fire Blast - while also not being weak to the other moves. Sadly this thing loses to Superpower and Aqua Tail/Water Pulse variants, but Aqua Tail isn't that common (Superpower is more-so though). Knock Off also hinders it but it doesn't lose to it. It also gets beaten by Nasty Plot sets, as it can't do enough damage to actually kill it. At best it trades due to LO damage. Protect is to scout and to get more lefties.

If you want to better deal with it you can run a Prankster set with Sableye, as you can Wisp or Recover before Azelf can hit you again with Koff or Superpower. What this has over LeviTran is that it resists Fire and Electric, and its not weak to Superpower and fighting in general.
