For a metagame that allows one to use Almost Any Ability, its a bit weird to see a pokemon with its best ability option being its natural ability, but that is the case for Chien-Pao. While it isn't as overwhelmingly broken in OU with less checks and access to Tera there, I still think that Pao, and in particular Choice Band Sword of Ruin, can be very annoying for teams to deal with and possibly broken. There's really only two reliable checks to it, and that is Intimidate Corviknight and Fluffy Quaquaval, the former of which can be pressured by chip and the latter being an ability that isn't even the most used on Quaq. Pao can have some other switch-ins to its STABs like Kingambit or Tinkaton but if it uses Sacred Sword it'll send both packing. One of the main drawbacks to Chien-Pao is its hazard weakness, but with Corviknight being omnipresent on every team I don't think its too much of an issue that much if played well, and it can also pivot in Pao Safely. With it's speed being one of the fastest relevant base speed in the tier, it can almost effortlessly clean through frailer teams and can also use Ice Shard for faster threats like scarf Meowscarada and the recently released Hisuian Electrode.
Ultimately, there are some drawbacks to Pao that hold it back from being as busted as the 3 Pokemon that council is looking at. It is prediction reliant at times, it can be chipped by hazards and is kept in checked by Intimidate Corviknight which is one of, if not the most, common ability for the bird now. However I think it's ability with Choice Band Sword of Ruin to clear through a lot of teams and basically require Corviknight's to run Intimidate shows how constraining it can be on the team builder, and should at the very least be looked at, if not voted on.
enamorus is also a wicked mon, the SFLO set is arguably the best, though beads of ruin is still viable. a speed of 106 is enough to outspeed most mons, and its 135 special attack is nothing to scoff at. like ursaluna, it gets great coverage as well in moonblast, earth power, sludge bomb, mystical fire, focus blast, and grass knot. not much else to say, an amazing special attacker.
lando-t. good god he's back. despite his heavily nerfed movepool, he can still kick ass. if youre going for offense or defense, he has solid moves and stats to run both. a speed of 91 is not the best, but it's enough to outspeed some mons. abilities that change normal type moves into other types, specifically aerilate are amazing for lando. galvanize and refridgerate are also valid imo. like last gen, lando does lando things.
cresselia is finally back!! she's one of my favorite legendaries/mythicals. does a similar thing to what she did in gen 8, stamina + calm mind + stored power cheese as per usual. honestly dont have that much to say, solid pokemon with solid stats and a solid movepool.
regieleki is weird one to me, one hand it's really good, but also really bad. not many other pokemon can beat eleki as a glass cannon. this thing cannot take a single hit without fainting, but when it's able to get hits off, it's super powerful. similar to lando, it makes great use of normal type changing abilites, and with the inclusion of tera blast and refridgerate, it can finally get the boltbeam coverage it has always needed.

is quite good for this, goodrah has, in my opinion, better utility and typing. though it always depends on what your team needs. meloetta has more speed, special attack, and a pivot move, but goodrah has more physical defense and special defense. goodrah struggles against ursaluna
