Would Focus Energy plus X-Scissor work better on Kleavor? You get the crit plus sharpness boost presumably? I ran that on a Scizor just to do something different and it rolled through pretty quickly, but my EVs weren't optimized and I'm not sure it made much of a difference versus any of the...

Sorry, I meant after 3 acid sprays, so -6 special defense on Wo-Chien. I'm running Covert Cloak. I tried using Galar Zapdos with physical hitters, but with randoms I'd get things like Incineroar spamming Flamethrower and Koraidon using Heatwave. My Zapdos is Tera Fighting and won't carry a team...

Obviously this is a pretty easy raid, but for online I'm slightly preferring Venusaur (Tera Poison) over Iron Moth. Doesn't hit quite as hard, but at -6 Sludge Bomb still does a chunk and if I have any physical teammates I use Worry Seed at the start.

Support idea: Cloyster: Shell Armor / Leftovers / Max HP & Defense Chilling Water Life Dew Iron Defense Razor Shell (50% chance def drop)

Assuming turn 0 Swords Dance into Earthquake, Grassy Surge Rillaboom might be worth looking at just to help things get started. Drum Beating to check Garchomp's speed probably won't hurt. Sinistcha has decent physical defense and some fun stuff to play with like Motcha Gotcha (fish for burns)...

Anyone tried Torkoal as support? Inferno (with Zoom Lens for accuracy) can burn through the shield, EQ probably isn't too threatening after that. Inferno Iron Defense Sunny Day Protect

Best support I've been able to come up with so far is a boring defensive Umbreon. Basically the job is to spam Mud Slap and block the Dragon Dance with Taunt and hit Heal Cheer when needed. Tyranitar goes exclusively for Stone Edge, so you've got a decent chance of free turns with Mud Slap...

Does Tyranitar do anything that would threaten Kommo-O, aside from possible auto-crit? I'm wondering if Tera Stellar Throat Chop would get the job done. Depending on stat reset timing Tera Dark might be safe. You could run something like Breaking Swipe Throat Chop Bulk Up / Iron Defense...

Solo'd with Tera Poison Venusaur, which seems like it shouldn't have worked. It was supposed to be a test run, but I barely cleared on my first attempt with the build I already had sitting around. Started with Worry Seed, then Acid Spray and Sludge Bomb with a shell bell and that was it. Brave...

Solo'd and won online with 3 sets of randoms with Dragalge. Tera Water Shell Bell 252 SpDef, 150HP, the rest into SpAtk (or something close to that...) Mud Slap Acid Spray Rain Dance Surf For the solo, I got lucky with Belibolt setting light screen. Set up Tera charge with Mud Slap, toss in a...

Unaware Clefable might be good as support, but probably won't be able to deal significant enough damage to solo. Galar Weezing has Levitate and Clear Smog, so maybe another support option. I'm expecting to see Zacian a lot in online battles, so might just try to see if I can keep them alive...

Does Ability Shield protect Levitate users from Smack Down? I'm wondering if I could do something with Latias, maybe run Chilling Water and Calm Mind. Mist Ball has a 50% chance of dropping special attack but the PP is limited. Might be better for support with screens.

Unaware Clefable seems like a pretty safe support option. I just pulled one from my boxes, started with a defense boost (defense curl or cosmic power) and then supported the Belly Drum users with Life Dew. Pretty easy clear with Azumarill doing the heavy lifting. For full support you could toss...

Thinking about Contrary mons, Lurantis gets Worry Seed, Pollen Puff, Leech Life, Tera Blast for boosting attack (assuming Stellar).

Tinkaton could steal Sheer Force with Skill Swap and hit back with boosted Play Rough. Scizor with Iron Defense and Lunge might be worth playing with. Galar Zapdos with Bulk Up and Thunderous Kick is just a favorite of mine so I will probably need to give that a try...
