[SET COMMENTS]
Copperajah's combination of a good defensive typing, solid invested bulk, and strong attacking options makes it a great offensive Stealth Rock setter. Its bulk allows it to switch into many threatening special attackers like Roserade, Sylveon, and Gardevoir, giving it many opportunities to set up Stealth Rock or throw off a strong attack. Earthquake allows Copperajah to hit Incineroar and Cobalion, two common switch-ins, for super effective damage. Power Whip targets Rhyperior, Rotom-W and other bulky Water-types like Milotic, Gastrodon, and Quagsire, but Heat Crash can be used instead, giving Copperajah a harder hit on Pokemon like Bronzong, Doublade, and Shuca Berry Cobalion, as well as OHKOing Escavalier. 84 Speed EVs allow Copperajah to outrun Rhyperior, giving it an opportunity to hit it with Power Whip. It is more effective to invest in Copperajah's Special Defense, as its naturally high HP makes investing in HP less efficient.
Copperajah's bulk is good, but it's prone to being worn down over the course of a match due to relying on Leftovers for recovery. Sylveon is a great partner; not only do the two have great defensive synergy, with Copperajah checking Pokemon that Sylveon struggles with like Roserade and Bronzong and Sylveon checking Pokemon like Pangoro and Flygon, but Sylveon can also provide Wish support to keep Copperajah healthy throughout a match. Noivern is also a great partner, being able to switch into Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Cobalion for Copperajah. It can also provide Defog support, which is helpful as one of the most common Pokemon that Copperajah checks, Roserade, will often set up Spikes as Copperajah comes in, and it can use U-turn to get Copperajah in safely on Pokemon like Gigalith, Gastrodon, and Sylveon. Noivern can also check Celebi, which Copperajah can struggle to do without Heat Crash. Roserade is a good partner, aiding in breaking down Pokemon Copperajah can struggle to deal with alone like Milotic and, if it's lacking Power Whip, Rotom-W and Gastrodon. It also provides Spikes support, which makes switching into Copperajah much more difficult. Copperajah can also aid Roserade by breaking down Steel-types like Escavalier with Heat Crash. Pangoro appreciates Copperajah's ability to switch into and put pressure on Sylveon. It also takes advantage of the Stealth Rock that Copperajah sets up, using it to guarantee OHKOs on Pokemon like Rotom-W and Escavalier. Bulky Water-types like Milotic are good partners for Copperajah, as they can check threatening Fire-types like Swords Dance Incineroar and Chandelure. Checks to Escavalier and Cobalion are important, particularly if Copperajah lacks Heat Crash. Pokemon like Doublade and Incineroar work in this role, and they can help Copperajah to overwhelm their shared checks.

[SET COMMENTS]
When equipped with an Assault Vest, Copperajah becomes a menacing offensive threat that takes advantage of its great combination of bulk and power to threaten offensive and defensive teams alike. Its good coverage moves allow it to pose a threat to common defensive cores, and it finds many opportunities to switch into Pokemon like Noivern, Sylveon, and Toxtricity thanks to its increased bulk. Earthquake allows Copperajah to hit Incineroar and Arcanine, while Power Whip hits bulky Water-types like Milotic, Gastrodon, and Quagsire, aiding Copperajah in breaking down bulkier teams. It's also Copperajah's strongest option against Rhyperior. Heat Crash rounds out Copperajah's coverage, allowing it to fry Steel-types like Bronzong, Escavalier, and Cobalion, all of which could otherwise take Earthquake. 84 Speed EVs allow Copperajah to outspeed Rhyperior, and the rest of the EVs maximise its overall bulk and power.
Sylveon is a good partner, as this set is benefits from Wish support to continually check opposing threats. Sylveon also appreciates that Copperajah can switch into strong special attackers that would otherwise cause Sylveon issues, like Roserade, Choice Specs Gardevoir, and Toxtricity. In return, Sylveon can take on the likes of Pangoro, Haxorus, and Flygon, which would otherwise prey on Copperajah's weaker Defense stat and weakness to their attacks. Ground-types like Rhyperior and Flygon are good partners for this set, as they dissuade Pokemon like Toxtricity and Heliolisk from taking advantage of Copperajah for momentum with Volt Switch. Copperajah can check Pokemon like Roserade and Bronzong for them in return. Roserade appreciates that Copperajah can switch into Pokemon like Noivern, Choice Scarf Gardevoir, and Espeon for it. In return, Roserade can set up Spikes to take advantage of the many switches Copperajah forces, as well as breaking down the bulky Water-types that Copperajah doesn't like staying in on like Milotic and Mantine. Noivern can take on Fighting-types like Cobalion and, to a lesser extent, Pangoro, that Copperajah would otherwise struggle with. It also provides a way of keeping faster foes in check, compensating for Copperajah's sluggishness. Copperajah aids with checking Fairy-types like Sylveon in return. Rotom-W's immunity to Ground-type attacks and resistance to Fire-type attacks allows it to pivot into Pokemon that would threaten Copperajah, like Flygon and Darmanitan. It can also provide Defog support, which is helpful, as Assault Vest Copperajah is very vulnerable to chip damage from Stealth Rock and Spikes.
