OM [BH] Palkia

[cityscapes]

Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Dragon Energy
- Fishious Rend
- Nuzzle
- Strength Sap

Palkia's Dragon Energy and Fishious Rend are incredibly powerful, almost unresisted, and hit a good chunk of the metagame super effectively—it's safe to say that unless you run into Tapu Fini or Ferrothorn, Palkia will be doing massive damage whenever it comes in. Naive can be used over Hasty to hit Imposter users harder on the switch. Any prospective walls will have to contend with Nuzzle paralysis stopping their Recover usage and Strength Sap healing off any chip damage they do in return. Xerneas and Groudon take advantage of Palkia's Fire, Water, and Steel resistances and can come in while foes are busy healing off damage from Palkia's STAB attacks. Tapu Fini and Ferrothorn can be used to wall Imposter users that transform into Palkia. If you build your team around giving Palkia opportunities and have a plan for dealing with Tapu Fini, the space dragon will reward you with insane power and flexible combinations.

This looks pretty good but you might consider Naive nature so that you hit Imposter a bit harder on the switch. You could mention Glare along with Nuzzle, but this is only situational and Nuzzle is generally more useful because you KO Ground-types anyway. It feels weird not mentioning an Imposter-proof but I'm not sure if a spotlight has room for it. Could say that Fini/Ferro make good teammates to check opposing Palkia.
