[SET COMMENTS]
* (asterisk) With access to both Calm Mind and Agility, Calyrex-S can becomeanda terrifying sweeper capable of outspeeding even opposing ChoiceScarfersScarf Pokemon while maintaining exceptional power and good bulk.
* **Draining Kissvsversus Giga Drain**: Draining Kiss and Giga Drain both provide coverage and a form of recovery. Draining Kiss allows Calyrex-S to threaten the Dark-types that would switch into Astral Barrage, while Giga Drain threatens the likes of Ursaluna-B more immediately.
* **Calm Mindvsversus Nasty Plot**: Calm Mind trades out Nasty Plot's more immediate boost to give Calyrex-S more survivability.
* **Agility**: Agility lets Calyrex-S punish switches to faster threats like Choice Scarf Koraidon, Miraidon, and Booster Energy Flutter Mane by suddenly outspeeding them and threatening a sweep.
Items
========
* **Sitrus Berry**: Sitrus Berry allows Calyrex-S to set up more safely in the face of threats like Ursaluna-B, giving it a better shot at a successful sweep.
* **Lum Berry**: Lum Berry lets Calyrex-S set up in the face of status users like Eternatus, Dondozo, and Gliscor, allowing it more opportunities to mount a sweep against bulkier teams.
Tera Types
========
**Tera Dependecy - (colon → hyphen) High**: Although its base typing has advantages like an immunity to Extreme Speed (which Pokemon use Extreme Speed?), Calyrex-S will often need to Terastallize tomantain itmaintain its longevity and mitigate its weakness against common threats.
* **Fairy**: Tera Fairy grants Calyrex-S a valuable resistance to Dark-type attacks such as Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch andandboosts the power of Draining Kiss, allowing it to more easily threaten foes like Ting-Lu.
* **Grass**: Tera Grass strengthens GigaDrain’sDrain's (ASCII apostrophes are required) power, dealing solid damage to Ting-Lu and Ursaluna-B. It alsohasgrants Calyrex-S the benefit of resistingMiraidon’sMiraidon's Electro Drift and Ground-type attacks. However, it becomes more vulnerable to Ice-type moves like Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance (RC) and Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash and Ice Shard.
* **Water**: Tera Water grants a resistance to Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Scizor's Bullet Punch and can be used with Tera Blast to deal massive damage to threats like Ursaluna-B and Chi-Yu.
