Choice Band Barraskewda is a devastating wallbreaker with a naturally high Speed tier to outpace the whole unboosted metagame, including fast threats like Chien-Pao and Kilowattrel. Close Combat pressures Baxcalibur, Roaring Moon, and Desolate Land Chi-Yu and provides strong neutral coverage for Dondozo and Desolate Land Cinderace. Psychic Fangs and Drill Run cover foes such as Toxapex, Water Absorb Gengar, and Iron Moth; the latter's lesser power and accuracy is compensated for by hitting Desolate Land Ceruledge and OHKOing Cinderace. Aqua Jet revenge kills faster foes like boosted Volcarona and Choice Scarf Chi-Yu and Sandy Shocks. Specially offensive pivots such as Iron Moth and Greninja can bring Barraskewda in safely on their switch-ins like Garganacl, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu for more wallbreaking opportunities. Late-game cleaners like Baxcalibur, Dragonite, and Choice Scarf Sandy Shocks love Barraskewda pressuring the opposition early on; Sandy Shocks threatens problematic bulky Water-types like Dondozo and Toxapex in return.
