Specially defensive Solgaleo is one of the tier's premier special walls, is an amazing pivot, and is even a solid phazer. Knock Off hits Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon like Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Giratina, though Sunsteel Strike can be used instead as strong STAB move, to deal more damage to opposing Arceus and threaten Zacian. Knock Off's item-removing effect synergizes excellently with Roar's phazing, allowing Solgaleo to remove Heavy-Duty Boots and force foes to take repeated entry hazard damage. Roar also prevents sweepers like Zacian, Mewtwo, and Zamazenta-C from setting up on it. Tera Water removes Solgaleo's Fire and Ground weaknesses, allowing it to check Pokemon like Arceus-Fire, Trailblaze Ogerpon-H, and Great Tusk. Tera Dark, on the other hand, allows it to check Dark- and Ghost-types, like Spectrier, Giratina, and Chi-Yu. Teleport assists in getting powerful wallbreakers like Chi-Yu, Deoxys, and Kyurem-W onto the field safely. Solgaleo can have trouble with Pokemon like Chi-Yu, Kingambit, Palafin, and Landorus, so Pokemon like Kyurem-W, Great Tusk, Zamazenta-C, Palkia-O, and Arceus-Dark that can check these threats are excellent partners.
