[SET COMMENTS]
By virtue of its decent mixed bulk and great defensive typing, Alcremie is a competent bulky win condition with Calm Mind. In comparison to Clefable, it boasts a higher PP recovery option, an immunity to Taunt thanks to Aroma Veil, and notably higher Special Attack and Special Defense stats, allowing it to more reliably set up while better checking big threats in Hydreigon, Dragapult, and Hatterene. These tools yield a niche for Alcremie on balanced and defensive builds, where it shares great synergy with defensive staples such as Mandibuzz and Galarian Corsola. The EVs seen on the listed set maximize Alcremie's physical bulk, increasing its durability against the likes of Tyranitar, Hawlucha, and Conkeldurr. Dazzling Gleam allows it to apply immediate pressure to the aforementioned threats it checks, while Mystical Fire provides coverage necessary in denying free turns to Steel-types like Corviknight, Excadrill, and Ferrothorn. Aromatherapy is an option in Alcremie's
Alcremie fits best on balanced and defensive builds due to its solid defensive utility, good synergy with popular defensive presences, and ability to function as a late-game sweeper. Its ability to be physically overwhelmed by Pokemon like Gyarados and Excadrill makes Pokemon like Toxapex and Galarian Corsola strong options for teammates, who in return it can answer to Hydreigon for. Mandibuzz also makes for a strong teammate, checking Excadrill and Aegislash while benefitting from Alcremie's ability to take on Hydreigon, Tyranitar, and Conkeldurr. Additionally, Alcremie appreciates Pokemon capable of taking on the Poison-types it struggles to break through, like Toxapex. Ground-types like Excadrill, Gastrodon, and Mamoswine stand out for their ability to do this while also pressuring Steel-types like Corviknight, which Alcremie can struggle to reliably beat.
