Celebi's great all-around stats makes it a powerful and bulky Stealth Rock setter and is also able to take status ailments from foes due to Natural Cure. Stealth Rock deals chip damage to the opposing team and works very well with Celebi's U-turn which lets it pivot out to a teammate that checks the opposing Pokemon. This forces the opponent to switch out to incur entry hazard damage. Giga Drain does good damage to neutral foes and is able to OHKO Pokemon such as Seisimitoad. Recover is a more consistent way to heal and Leftovers gives Celebi passive recovery. Healing Wish can be used over U-turn to give Celebi's teammates, especially sweepers such as Gardevoir, longevity. Thunder Wave can also be used to help slow threats such as Hydreigon and Bisharp. The HP, Defense, and Special Defense EVs along with the Calm nature is to ensure Celebi is bulky and stays alive as long as possible. These EVs allow Celebi to live a Crunch from Tyranitar and Dark Pulse from Choice Specs Hydreigon. The 16 Speed EVs allows it to Speed tie Jolly Whiscash.
Celebi's typing allows it to counter Dark-type threats such as Crawdaunt so teammates such as Indeedee appreciate it. Indeedee also has access to Psychic Terrain and is helpful for the entire team. However, Celebi is OHKOed by powerful physical Dark-types such as Bisharp so Pokemon such as Mew who can Will-O-Wisp and cripple physical attackers is appreciated. Since Celebi is walled by specially defensive Pokemon such as Tyranitar, physical attackers that can KO those walls such as Jirachi are appreciated. Jirachi's U-turn also synergizes well with Celebi's Stealth Rock and U-turn by constantly dealing chip damage forcing opponents to switch out. Furthermore, Jirachi's Choice Scarf set can stop other threats such as Tyranitar with Iron Head spam. Sweepers such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir appreciate Celebi's ability to chip at opposing Pokemon making it easier to sweep the team, especially Dark- and Dragon-type teams with Moonblast.
