Baxcalibur functions as a phenomenal wallbreaker, capable of threatening a multitude of Pokemon and forcing many switches throughout the game. With Choice Band, a powerful STAB move in Glaive Rush, and Tera Dragon, Baxcalibur can easily plow through the opposing team, managing to cleanly 2HKO the most physically defensive Pokemon in the tier such as Dondozo, Toxapex, and Garganacl. Icicle Crash is a more consistent damaging move to potentially muscle past Corviknight and Calm Mind Hatterene with the flinch chance, while Icicle Spear can break Substitute and bypass Focus Sash from Pokemon like Breloom, Tera Fairy Skeledirge, and Tera Grass Volcarona, as well as offensive teams utilizing Orthworm's Shed Tail. Earthquake is a strong coverage move to hit Azumarill for neutral damage and common Steel-types such as Gholdengo and Kingambit super effectively. Ice Shard hits faster pokemon, allowing Baxcalibir to revenge kill common setup sweepers in the OU metagame, such as Dragapult, Roaring Moon, Iron Valiant, and opposing Baxcalibur. Additionally, Tera Ice can be used to boost Baxcalibur's Ice-type attacks, turning it into an even better revenge killer, and allows its Icicle Crash to 2HKO relevant checks like Corviknight. Baxcalibur can also use Tera Ground to get rid of its hindering Stealth Rock weakness, power up its Earthquake, and avoid Thunder Wave from Rotom-W. Another main factor to Baxcalibur's wallbreaking prowess is Thermal Exchange, which takes advantage of Fire-type attacks and most importantly grants it a complete immunity to burn from Pokemon like Torkoal, Skeledirge, Rotom-W, and Volcarona. A Jolly Nature allows Baxcalibur to outspeed common threats such as Nasty Plot Gholdengo, Glimmora, Ceruledge, and Dragonite while notably Speed tying with Great Tusk.

Choice Band Baxcalibur can function in almost any offensive team thanks to its wallbreaking potential, ranging from hyper to bulky offense that appreciate its powerful priority and ability to break through defensive Pokemon. As very reliable pivots, Rotom-W and Meowscarada are great partners for Baxcalibur, providing it multiple opportunities to get into the field while threatening Curse Dondozo. Great Tusk can offer support with Stealth Rock and can useRapid Spin to clear entry hazards that would otherwise wear Baxcalibur down. Iron Valiant is a good special partner that can threaten the fastest Pokemon in the tier, such as Dragapult, Greninja, and Cinderace, thanks to Choice Scarf and Quark Drive. Iron Valiant has also wallbreaking capabilities of its own with Choice Specs and Calm Mind, allowing it to get rid of physical walls to increase Baxcalibur's threatening potential. Gholdengo and Volcarona are great teammates that provide Fairy and Fighting resistances and the ability to check and threaten the likes of Iron Valiant, Corviknight, and Orthworm. Furthermore, Gholdengo is able to threaten the Fairy-types and Tera Fairy users in the tier such as Hatterene, Skeledirge, and Garganacl, freeing up Baxcalibur to pressure the foes with Glaive Rush, while Volcarona can utilize Baxcalibur's presence to remove its special checks like Clodsire and Blissey to sweep late-game more easily. Slowking is another good pairing that can set up Snow and pivot with Chilly Reception, consequently boosting Baxcalibur's already decent bulk.

Thanks to its 145 base Attack, No need to mention its exact Attack value. Simply mentioning it has excellent Attack could suffice. Baxcalibur functions as a phenomenal wallbreaker capable of threatening a multitude of Pokemon and forcing many switches throughout the game. With Choice Band, a powerful STAB move in Glaive Rush and Tera Dragon to further improve its offensive potential, Baxcalibur can easily punish the opponent and plow through its team. Baxcalibur has two solid Ice STAB options in either Icicle Crash or Icicle Spear, the first being a more consistent damaging move and also having a chance to flinch, and the latter being able to break Substitute and bypass Focus Sash. Earthquake is a strong coverage move that allows Baxcalibur to hit Azumarill for neutral damage and common Steel types such as Gholdengo and Kingambit super effectively. Ice Shard is a great priority move that further expands Baxcalibur's threatening capacity, allowing it to hit faster Pokemon like Dragapult and Iron Valiant Mention as well how it can serve as a revenge killing option against sweepers. You can merge your Dragapult and Valiant examples there. Additionally, Tera Ice can be used to boost Ice Shard's power, therefore turning Baxcalibur into an even better revenge killer. Baxcalibur can also use Tera Ground to get rid of its hindering Stealth Rock weakness and to power up Earthquake. With 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly Nature, Baxcalibur is able to outspeed common threats such as Nasty Plot Gholdengo, Glimmora, Ceruledge and Dragonite, while also notably Speed tying with offensive Great Tusk .

Choice Band Baxcalibur can function in almost any team What team archetype is it best on? thanks to its wallbreaking potential, although it benefits from having strong offensive teammates that can take down its few checks, like Dondozo and Orthworm I believe this is quite redundant since you already mentioned them at later parts of the paragraph As very reliable pivots, Rotom-W and Meowscarada are both great partners to Baxcalibur, providing it multiple opportunities to get into the field while also being able to threaten Dondozo I believe Slowking is worth mentioning here as well. Bax can take advantage of Snow to make it harder to revenge kill. Great Tusk can offer support by setting up Stealth Rock and can use Rapid Spin to clear the entry hazards that would otherwise wear down Baxcalibur. Iron Valiant is a good special partner that can take on the fastest Pokemon in the tier thanks to Choice Scarf and Booster Energy, while also having wallbreaking capabilities of its own with Choice Specs and Calm Mind I believe you can mention Calm Mind with Booster Energy since you can run them together. Gholdengo and Volcarona are both great teammates that can provide Fairy and Fighting resistances, good special support and the ability to check and threaten the likes of Iron Valiant, Corviknight and Orthworm.

Baxcalibur functions as a phenomenal wallbreaker capable of threatening a multitude of Pokemon and forcing many switches throughout the game. With Choice Band, a powerful STAB move in Glaive Rush and Tera Dragon to further improve its offensive potential, Baxcalibur can easily punish the opponent and plow through its team (mention what walls it can OHKO or 2HKO with that cranked up glaive rush, which is what separates cb bax from sd bax). Baxcalibur has two solid Ice STAB options in either Icicle Crash or Icicle Spear, the first being a more consistent damaging move and also having a chance to flinch, (dex info, i'd rather say how it "allows bax to potentially muscle past defensive mons like a,b,and c with the flinch chance if necessary") and the latter being able to break Substitute and bypass Focus Sash (such as? what relevant mons that you want to click your ice moves against that usually run sub or sash?). Earthquake is a strong coverage move that allows Baxcalibur to hit Azumarill for neutral damage and common Steel types such as Gholdengo and Kingambit super effectively. Ice Shard is a great priority move that further expands Baxcalibur's threatening capacity, allowing it to hit faster Pokemon. Coming out of Baxcalibur's excellent Attack, Ice Shard is extremely good at and revenge killing the most common sweepers in the OU metagame, such as Dragapult, Roaring Moon, Iron Valiant and opposing Baxcalibur, especially considering that most of them are either weak to Ice or generally too frail to withstand a hit. Additionally, Tera Ice can be used to boost Ice Shard's power, therefore turning Baxcalibur into an even better revenge killer (is ice shard the only relevant upgrade? how about crash or spear? most notably, i'd like to see an emphasis of how it allows cb icicle crash to 2hko corv, a very relevant check). Baxcalibur can also use Tera Ground to get rid of its hindering Stealth Rock weakness and to power up Earthquake (you also can't be twaved by rotomw). (Add a sentence here for thermal exchange and how it helps baxcalibur's wallbreaking prowess) With 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly Nature, Baxcalibur is able to outspeed common threats such as Nasty Plot Gholdengo, Glimmora, Ceruledge and Dragonite, while also notably Speed tying with Great Tusk.

Great Tusk can offer support by setting up Stealth Rock and can use Rapid Spin to clear the entry hazards that would otherwise wear down Baxcalibur. Iron Valiant is a good special partner that can take on the fastest Pokemon in the tier (such as? what fast threats that iron valiant helps dealing with that bax appreciates?) thanks to Choice Scarf and Quark Drive, while also having wallbreaking capabilities of its own with Choice Specs and Calm Mind (how are iron valiant's wallbreaking sets relevant to bax? is it able to overwhelm shared checks for bax? or does it threaten stuff that bax struggles with? please clarify it here). Gholdengo and Volcarona are both great teammates that can provide Fairy and Fighting resistances, good special support (not sure what this means, just remove) and the ability to check and threaten the likes of Iron Valiant, Corviknight and Orthworm. (also mention how gholdengo threatens fairies like hatt and tera fairy users like garg and dirge so bax can spam glaive rush more freely, while volc can sweep easily with bax pressuring mons like clod and pex earlygame) Slowking is another good pairing that has the potential to set up Snow and pivot with Chilly Reception, consequently boosting Baxcalibur's Defense and further improving its already decent bulk.

Good job, though I'd like to give this another look. Let me know here or OU discord once you implement :>
As a reminder; click 'reply' on my post, edit the changes in accordingly, and copy-paste the newly-edited analyses into your original post so you don't miss out on stuff from my check.

With Choice Band, a powerful STAB move in Glaive Rush and Tera Dragon to further improve its offensive potential, Baxcalibur can easily punish the opponent and plow through its team, managing to cleanly 2HKO the most defensive walls in the tier such as Dondozo, Toxapex, Ting-Lu (2hkoing a spdef mon isn't really a notable feat, plus it's never switching in on u anyways) and Garganacl. Baxcalibur has two solid Ice STAB options in either Icicle Crash or Icicle Spear, the first being a more consistent damaging move with a flinch chance that can be exploited to potentially muscle past Corviknight and Calm Mind Hatterene, Garganacl and Kingambit, (u'd rather eq or glaive rush them) and the latter being able to break Substitute and bypass Focus Sash from Pokemon like Breloom, Tera Fairy Skeledirge, and Tera Grass Volcarona, as well as offensive teams utilizing Orthworm's Shed Tail. therefore disrupting any setup attempt coming from the likes of Hydreigon, Dragapult, Polteageist and Tera Bug Ceruledge (hydrei & pult are faster anyways so they'll just draco and darts you, polt is too niche, and tera bug ceruledge runs bulk up with boots not sash). Earthquake is a strong coverage move that allows Baxcalibur to hit Azumarill for neutral damage and common Steel types such as Gholdengo and Kingambit super effectively.

Baxcalibur can also use Tera Ground to get rid of its hindering Stealth Rock weakness, to power up Earthquake and to avoid any possible Thunder Wave coming from Rotom-W. Another main factor to Baxcalibur's wallbreaking prowess is Thermal Exchange, its signature ability that allows it to receive a one stage boost to its Attack if hit by a Fire move, and most importantly grants it a complete immunity to Will-O-Wisp and burns from secondary effects, Pokemon like Torkoal, Skeledirge, Rotom-W, and Volcarona. (changed the wording to make it more general cause volc also has flame body) With 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly Nature, Baxcalibur is able to outspeed common threats such as Nasty Plot Gholdengo, Glimmora, Ceruledge and Dragonite, while also notably Speed tying with Great Tusk.

Nice, QC 2/2. As a side note, there's a lot of fluff/dex info here that you can cut down, but will leave it to my GP peeps

 

[YNM]

Implemented and ready for GP.
Regarding Iron Valiant's role as a side wallbreaker that can aid Bax during games, what I'm trying to say is that an offensive mon with the capabilities of Valiant alongside Baxcalibur increases the pressure on the opponent's part, so there may not be a single wall that stands out to me as a complete "check" to Baxcalibur that Iron Valiant can threaten on its part (besides maybe Kingambit which does not enjoy either of Valiant's STABs), but the continuous "attacking momentum" from the two will inevitably leave those walls with less opportunities to breath and possibly recover damage, especially considering that Valiant's Special and mixed sets, in general, will obviously have a better match up against pure physically defensive mons. For example, a Dondozo won't take on a Baxcalibur after being forced out by a Specs Valiant's Moonblast, so Bax won't need to Tera to OHKO it at 40%.
