Set Details
========
- Calyrex-I is a physical attacker that uses its incredible bulk and high Attack to threaten the high number of Grass- and Dragon-type Pokemon such as Miraidon, Koraidon, Rillaboom, Amoonguss, and Raging Bolt that could be problematic for its teammates. Calyex-I also works well in Trick Room thanks to its low Speed and access to the move.
- Leech Seed allows Calyrex-I to work better into Pokemon that resist Glacial Lance such as Zamazenta-C while also giving it more of a staying presence because of the HP recovery. High Horsepower threatens Incineroar and Zamazenta-C, which resist Glacial Lance. Both moves help into Zamazenta-C; Leech Seed tries to stall out Zamazenta-C's health, while High Horsepower punishes Wide Guard.
- Leftovers is ran with Leech Seed to allow Calyrex-I to recover even more of its HP after each turn, while Clear Amulet sets allow Calyrex-I to be unhindered by Intimidate and Parting Shot from Incineroar.
- The Special Defense and HP investment let Calyrex-I survive Electro Drift from Choice Specs Miraidon while Electric Terrain is active. Calyrex-I can sometimes opt to run less Special Defense in order to invest more into Attack on Clear Amulet sets, but this comes at the cost of worse rolls into Choice Specs Miraidon and Life Orb Calyrex-S. The increased Attack investment allows Calyrex-I to threaten Koraidon with an OHKO if it doesn't Terastalize.
- Tera Water allows Calyrex-I to resist Water- and Fire-type moves that would previously threaten it such as Water Spout from Kyogre and Flare Blitz from Koraidon. Tera Fire gives Calyrex-I a resistance to the previously mentioned Fire-type attacks while also making it immune to Will-O-Wisp from Incineroar, though it makes Calyrex-I worse into Urshifu-R because Surging Strikes threatens it after Terastallizing and common Urshifu-R partners like Calyrex-S threaten Calyrex-I before Terastallizing. Both Tera types help into Zacian-C and Zamazenta-C, (AC) as they allow Calyrex-I to resist Steel-type attacks from the aforementioned foes.
Teambuilding
=========
- Calyrex-I struggles against bulkier Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl, Terastallized Amoonguss, and Incineroar that aren't immediately threatened by Glacial Lance and can annoy Calyrex-I with Reflect, Spore, or Will-O-Wisp if it isn't Tera Fire. Offensive Pokemon such as Calyrex-S and Miraidon can also be problematic, as they threaten huge damage against Calyrex-I.
- Miraidon pairs very well with Calyrex-I, as it threatens the bulkier Pokemon that Calyrex-I struggles with and denies Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet, while Calyrex-I threatens the Grass-, Ground-, and Dragon-type Pokemon that resist Miraidon's Electric-type attacks. Calyrex-I also discourages Rillaboom, a common check to Miraidon. Kyogre is another good Restricted Pokemon to pair with Calyrex-I. Kyogre threatens Incineroar with its Water-type attacks and works well in the Trick Room that Calyrex-I sets up. The rain set up by Kyogre weakens Koraidon, which makes Calyrex-I harder to remove. Calyrex-I threatens Pokemon that resist Kyogre's Water-type attacks like Rillaboom and Raging Bolt.
- Grimmsnarl sets Light Screen and Reflect for Calyrex-I, boosting its defenses even further and making Leech Seed recovery more effective. Urshifu-R is another good partner, bypassing Protect from Pokemon that try to stall out Trick Room turns. Iron Hands and Farigiraf both pair well with Miraidon, Calyrex-I's main Restricted Pokemon partner, and work well in Calyrex-I's Trick Room.
