[OVERVIEW]
Necrozma-DM is a good setup sweeper that finds its way on balance and bulky offense teams. Good bulk and typing, backed by Prism Armor allow Necrozma-DM to set up and clean late-game. Necrozma-DM's good defensive traits make it the only consistent offensive check to Eternatus and Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy. It also allows it to take on Zacian-C and reliably heal itself with Moonlight. Regardless of all these traits, Necrozma-DM still has issues to safely setup Dragon Dance because of Arceus-Water and Arceus-Fairy preferring to run Will-O Wisp to cripple Necrozma-DM, forcing it to often Terastallize. Ho-Oh and Ting-Lu are able to stop Necrozma-DM from setting up thanks to Whirlwind with Ho-Oh running Sacred Fire and scaring Necrozma-DM out. Furthermore, Necrozma-DM is not able to take heavy attacks from the likes of Calyrex-S, Koraidon, and Kyogre.
