[SET COMMENTS]
Technician Baxcalibur is an incredibly dangerous setup sweeper. Icicle Spear has tremendous damage potential, especially since it bypasses Fluffy, and is relatively consistent thanks to Loaded Dice. Ice Shard provides valuable priority that OHKOes most faster offensive threats at +1 such as Roaring Moon, Sandy Shocks, Noivern, and Meowscarada. Earthquake covers bulky Steel- and Fire-types that can withstand Icicle Spear, such as Kingambit and Gholdengo. Baxcalibur's best fit is on balance and offense teams that can weaken or remove physical walls like Intimidate Corviknight and Dondozo. Entry hazard removal, such as Great Tusk or Corviknight, is recommended to help offset Baxcalibur's weakness to Stealth Rock. Great Tusk can help Baxcalibur sweep with Knock Off and Stealth Rock of its own, whereas Corviknight can safely pivot Baxcalibur in via U-turn. On more offensive teams, such as Sticky Web and dual screens hyper offense, teammates like Houndstone and Chien-Pao can help put additional pressure on physical walls.
