[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Blacephalon is a great late-game cleaner and provides great speed control on Fire teams, outspeeding and removing various offensive threats like Tapu Lele and Nihilego. Psyshock targets Poison- and Fighting-types like Nihilego and Keldeo. Trick allows Blacephalon to shift its Choice Scarf to passive walls like Ting-Lu and Mantine, restricting their options. Hidden Power Ice targets Dragon- and Ground-types such as Garchomp and the Landorus formes. Ninetales and Torkoal set up sun for Blacephalon to make Flamethrower its strongest cleaning option, notably OHKOing Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Tornadus-T after Stealth Rock. Additionally, Ninetales provides Healing Wish support, while Torkoal sets up Stealth Rock and removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin so Blacephalon can switch in more easily. Cinderace also provides entry hazard control with Court Change, with it potentially being able to steal foes' dual screens; and it handles Dark-, Normal-, and Psychic-types like Tyranitar, Blissey, and Iron Boulder with High Jump Kick and Sucker Punch, respectively. It also brings Blacephalon in with U-turn. In return, Cinderace appreciates Blacephalon dealing with Ghost-types, which can switch in on a predicted High Jump Kick. Early-game wallbreakers such as Choice Band Victini and Hisuian Arcanine remove walls for Blacephalon. Victini breezes through Water- and Flying-types such as Empoleon and Mantine, while Hisuian Arcanine revenge kills boosted sweepers such as Alolan Raichu and Volcarona with Extreme Speed. Thanks to Blacephalon's great Speed tier, which lets it take out threats like Garchomp, it can enable late-game sweepers such as Volcarona, Z-Celebrate Victini, and Mega Charizard X.

Choice Scarf Blacephalon is a great late-game cleaner and provides great speed control on Fire teams, outspeeding and removing various offensive threats like Tapu Lele and Latias. Psyshock targets Poison- and Fighting-types like Crobat, Keldeo, and Okidogi Iron Valiant. [Flamethrower hits harder.] Trick allows Blacephalon to shift its Choice Scarf to passive walls like Ting-Lu and Toxapex, restricting their options. Hidden Power Ice targets Dragon- and, Ground-types, and Flying-types such as Garchomp and , the Landorus formes, and Tornadus-T. [Flamethrower hitting harder, its honestly just for them + Dnite (when multiscale is broken.)] Ninetales and Torkoal set up sun for Blacephalon to make Flamethrower its strongest cleaning option, notably OHKOing Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Tornadus-T after Stealth Rock. Additionally, Ninetales takes out Water-types such as Swampert and Greninja with Solar Beam and provides Healing Wish support, while Torkoal sets up Stealth Rock and removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin so Blacephalon can switch in more easily. Cinderace also provides entry hazard control with Court Change, with it potentially being able to gain screens set up by foes; and it handles Dark and Normal-types like Hydreigon, Tyranitar, and Blissey Tyranitar with High Jump Kick and brings Blacephalon in with U-turn. In return, Cinderace appreciates Blacephalon dealing with Ghost-types such as Ceruledge and Pecharunt which can switch in on a predicted High Jump Kick. Heatran traps walls like Toxapex and non-Earthquake Clodsire with Magma Storm, denies them recovery with Taunt, and removes it them with Earth Power so Blacephalon can clean more efficiently late-game. Early-game wallbreakers such as Choice Band Victini and Hisuian Arcanine remove walls for Blacephalon. Victini breezes through Water- and Flying-types such as Empoleon and Mantine, while Hisuian Arcanine revenge kills boosted sweepers such as Alolan Raichu and Volcarona with Extreme Speed. Thanks to Blacephalon's great Speed tier taking out threats like Garchomp and bulky foes like Skeledirge, it can enable late-game sweepers such as Volcarona and Mega Charizard X.

Choice Scarf Blacephalon is a great late-game cleaner and provides great speed control on Fire teams, outspeeding and removing various offensive threats like Tapu Lele and Latias (slower than the common latias, which is scarf. Nihilego [main reason for Psyshock] is also plausible). Psyshock targets Poison- and Fighting-types like Crobat Nihilego, Keldeo, and Okidogi. Trick allows Blacephalon to shift its Choice Scarf to passive walls like Ting-Lu and Toxapex (Mantine, Pex is likely Icium Z), restricting their options. Hidden Power Ice targets Dragon- and Ground-types such as Garchomp and the Landorus formes. Ninetales and Torkoal set up sun for Blacephalon to make Flamethrower its strongest cleaning option, notably OHKOing Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Tornadus-T after Stealth Rock.

Cinderace also provides entry hazard control with Court Change, with it potentially being able to gain screens set up by foes; and it handles Dark- and Normal-types like Hydreigon, Tyranitar, and Blissey with High Jump Kick and brings Blacephalon in with U-turn (sucker punches faster scarves like boulder and latis too). In return, Cinderace appreciates Blacephalon dealing with Ghost-types such as Ceruledge and Pecharunt (both of these types you wony HJK to begin with) which can switch in on a predicted High Jump Kick. Heatran traps walls like Toxapex with Magma Storm, denies recovery with Taunt, and removes it with Earth Power so Blacephalon can clean more efficiently late-game (can remove heatran, its not really "that" needed). Early-game wallbreakers such as Choice Band Victini and Hisuian Arcanine remove walls for Blacephalon. Victini breezes through Water- and Flying-types such as Empoleon and Mantine, while Hisuian Arcanine revenge kills boosted sweepers such as Alolan Raichu and Volcarona with Extreme Speed.
