[SET COMMENTS]

* With good bulk, an immunity to burn, and just enough Speed to work, Baxcalibur is a powerful Dragon Dance sweeper.

* Icicle Spear KOes Breloom and Mimikyu through Focus Sash and Disguise respectively.

* While Glaive Rush is valuable for late-game sweeping, it does make Baxcalibur very vulnerable to bulky OHKO move users such as Dondozo and Garganacl.

* Alternatively, Ice Shard means Baxcalibur will have a difficult time breaking past bulky Steel-types early-game, but it makes it an effective cleaner otherwise.

Tera Types
========

* **Dragon-type**: This makes Glaive Rush deal obscene damage and removes weaknesses to Mach Punch and Bullet Punch.

* **Electric-type**: When paired with Tera Blast, this is Life Orb Baxcalibur's best shot at dealing damage to Dondozo switch-ins. The paralysis immunity also helps Baxcalibur set up against Chansey with less risk.

* **Steel-type**: With a Tera type of Steel, Baxcalibur can set up on Mimikyu and Dragon-type attacks.

Items
========

* **Life Orb**: This helps Baxcalibur sweep reliably and ensures Icicle Spear OHKOes Breloom through Focus Sash.

* **Loaded Dice**: With a guaranteed 4 hits from Icicle Spear, Baxcalibur is able to always OHKO offensive Mimikyu after Dragon Dance.

* Baxcalibur's bulk and the wonderful Ice Shard make it a good user of Assault Vest, making it especially effective against the Rotom formes.

* Icicle Spear is recommended despite its inconsistent damage, as it deals damage through Mimikyu's disguise and potentially KOes Focus Sash users like Breloom and Meowscarada.

* Glaive Rush makes Baxcalibur very vulnerable to getting KOed the next turn, but it is still the least risky Dragon-type STAB move.

* A Ground Tera type gives Baxcalibur a reliable STAB move in Earthquake, resistance to Stealth Rock, and removes a ton of weaknesses, all at the cost of losing to Water-types such as Rotom-W.
