Calyrex-I comes out of the stable as a terrifying sweeper in the Ubers tier! Calyrex-I's monstrous Attack coupled with access to Trick Room makes it an incredibly powerful force, best used as an end-game cleaner on offense-oriented teams. Being an offensive Ice-type in a Dragon- and Ground-type dominated metagame is extremely valuable, as it can run through a lot of common cores. Glacial Lance hits a lot of targets for super effective damage, namely Miraidon, Arceus-Ground, and Koraidon, while High Horsepower aids in hitting the Pokemon that resist Glacial Lance, such as Necrozma-DM and Kyogre. Tera Fire makes Calyrex-I immune to burn, as well as resistant to Fire- and Steel-type attacks, which allows it to set up in front of Koraidon and Zacian-C. Alternatively, Tera Ground can be used to boost the power of High Horsepower, allowing it to OHKO Zacian-C without any boosts, as well as being able to OHKO Kyogre and defensive Necrozma-DM from full at +2. An Adamant nature is used to allow Calyrex-I outspeed Ting-Lu outside of Trick Room, ensuring it doesn't have to take a Ruination. Trick Room Necrozma-DM is the premier partner for Calyrex-I, as the two of them can utilize Trick Room to overwhelm most offensive and balance teams, and Necrozma-DM can beat Skeledirge.
