Disable makes it difficult for many Yveltal sets to consistently check Calyrex-S. Since most Yveltal only run one Dark-type move, the combination of Substitute and Disable can effectively render it useless. Disable, in comparison to Leech Seed, has the benefit of 100% accuracy and the ability to affect Grass-types such as Zarude. It also works well with Mental Herb, which lets Calyrex-S feign a Choice item and prevents Taunt from Yveltal. Additionally, against Choice item users or foes with one attack such as many Calm Mind Kyogre sets, Calyrex-S can use Disable to prevent them from attacking, giving it some unique defensive utility and setup opportunities. The given EVs stop 32 Attack Adamant Yveltal from breaking Substitute with U-turn, and the Special Defense EVs ensure Dynamax Cannon from Eternatus cannot 2HKO Calyrex-S. The Special Attack EVs guarantee a 2HKO on any Yveltal and an OHKO on Ho-Oh after two boosts. The HP investment optimizes Leftovers healing, which gives Calyrex-S more chances to make Substitutes at the cost of losing to Taunt Yveltal.

The best way for Calyrex-S to set up is to force out Pokemon like Necrozma-DM and Eternatus, giving it a free opportunity to use Nasty Plot or Substitute. Yveltal will be forced to attack, which will break Calyrex-S's Substitute and make it susceptible to Disable. A successful Disable will allow Calyrex-S to further set-up without much worry. If expecting a switch, using Substitute instead of Disable will allow Calyrex-S to scout the opposing team for Choice Scarf users or fast attackers like Marshadow. Additionally, Pokemon that live a +2 Astral Barrage such as Eternatus and Ho-Oh can break Calyrex-S's Substitute or Whirlwind it out, preventing it from sweeping. As such, using Nasty Plot on the turn they come in will allow Calyrex-S to OHKO either threat at +4. In general, teammates that can weaken Eternatus and Ho-Oh make Calyrex-S's life much easier. Ho-Oh and Kyogre are fantastic to paralyze and hinder Eternatus, while Zygarde, Zekrom, Meteor Beam Eternatus, Rock Slide Buzzwole, and Stone Edge Necrozma-DM are good options to pressure Ho-Oh. Since Calyrex-S, especially Mental Herb variants, needs to come in with high HP to be able to fish with Substitute, the ability to get it in safely is critical. Eject Pack Eternatus is particularly great at bringing Calyrex-S in against Necrozma-DM; other useful options include U-turn Yveltal, Teleport Blissey, and Landorus-T. Groudon is a classic teammate for Calyrex-S thanks to pressuring Yveltal through brute force or status, and its breaking power is much appreciated against Blissey teams.

Disable makes it difficult for many Yveltal sets from being able to consistently check Calyrex-S. Since the majority of Yveltal lack either Snarl or Knock Off and Foul Play on the same set, (change wording to something like "Most specially defensive Yveltal only run one Dark-type move" because it's kind of ambiguous rn) the combination of Substitute and Disable can effectively render Yveltal useless to stop Calyrex-S. In comparison to Leech Seed, Disable has the benefit of 100% accuracy, as well as affecting Grass-types such as Zarude. (can't cross-reference sets :sob:) The lack of reliance on Leech Seed also allows Calyrex-S to run Mental Herb (confusing), which feigns a Choice-item and prevents Taunt from Yveltal. Additionally, against Choice item users or foes with one attack such as many Calm Mind Kyogre sets, Calyrex-S can use Disable to prevent them from attacking, giving it some unique defensive utility and set up opportunities. The given EVs stop 32 Attack Adamant Yveltal from breaking Substitute with U-Turn, and the Special Defense EVs ensure Dynamax Cannon from Eternatus cannot 2HKO Calyrex-S. The Special Attack EVs guarantee a 2HKO on any Yveltal and an OHKO on Ho-Oh after two boosts. The HP investment optimizes Leftovers healing, which can be run to give Calyrex-S more chances to make Substitutes at the cost of losing to Taunt Yveltal.

The best way for Calyrex-S to set-up is to force out a Pokemon like Necrozma-DM or Eternatus, giving it a free opportunity to use Nasty Plot or Substitute. Yveltal will be forced to attack, which will break Calyrex-S's Substitute and make Yveltal susceptible to Disable. A successful Disable will allow Calyrex-S to further set-up without much worry. The turn that Calyrex-S uses Disable is a vulnerable turn, since a smart player could then switch to a threat that forces Calyrex-S out; thus, it may be wise to use Substitute again to scout for Choice Scarf users or Marshadow. Additionally, Pokemon that live a +2 Astral Barrage such as Eternatus or Ho-Oh can break Calyrex-S's Substitute or Whirlwind it out, preventing it from sweeping. As such, using Nasty Plot on the turn they come in will allow Calyrex-S to OHKO either threat at +4. In general, teammates that can weaken Eternatus or Ho-Oh make Calyrex-S's life much easier. Ho-Oh or Kyogre are fantastic to paralyze and cripple Eternatus, while Zygarde, Zekrom, Meteor Beam Eternatus, Rock Slide Buzzwole, and Stone Edge Necrozma-DM are good options to pressure Ho-Oh. Since this set, especially Mental Herb variants, needs to come in with high HP to be able to fish with Substitute, momentum options are critical. Eject Pack Eternatus is a great teammate to bring Calyrex-S in safely on Necrozma-DM, creating an easy chance to set-up, while other options such as U-Turn Yveltal, Landorus-T, and Teleport Blissey are also very useful.
