Calm Mind Espathra is one of the most threatening Pokemon on hyper offense teams, able to quickly spiral out of hand when teams lack hard counters to it. With Speed Boost + Calm Mind, even resistant foes fall to Stored Power once it gets a few turns to set up, like Tapu Lele and Heatran. Dazzling Gleam allows Espathra to hit Dark-types such as Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, and Kingambit. Tera Blast is a solid alternative with Tera Water to hit Mega Tyranitar, Ting-Lu, Heatran, and Kingambit much harder, but at the cost of requiring Terastallization to be effective. Roost prevents Espathra from being worn down quickly, and it allows it to easily accrue boosts on Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, and Mega Diancie. Substitute lets it avoid crippling status from Toxapex, Heatran, and Gastrodon, allowing it to use them as setup fodder. Lastly, Protect lets Espathra safely accrue boosts and Leftovers recovery, and it can notably beat chipped Dragapult head-on without prior boosts. Water is the primary Tera type for its amazing defensive use, notably letting Espathra tear through rain teams with ease, unable to be revenge killed by Barraskewda or Floatzel's. Water also lets it resist Scizor's Bullet Punch, and the Dark and Ghost neutralities help against Pokemon like Dragapult and Kingambit. Steel trades away the Water resistance and Tera Blast utility for an immunity to Toxic, as well as resisting Mega Scizor's U-turn and Dragonite's Extreme Speed, preventing them from revenge killing Espartha. The given EV spread allows Espathra to outspeed Dragapult at +1, with the remaining EVs in bulk letting it set up more easily. Dual screens greatly facilitate Espathra, allowing it to easily set up on offensive Pokemon, making both Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl amazing partners, with the former also setting Electric Terrain to activate Espathra's Electric Seed. Cyclizar's Shed Tail allows Espathra to avoid status from the likes of Toxapex, Heatran, and Rotom-W, as well as phazing from Garchomp's Dragon Tail. Dedicated entry hazard leads such as Landorus-T, Annihilape, and Glimmora also work really well with Espathra, as they quickly wear down Espathra's checks like Kingambit and Ting Lu into KO range of its attacks. Fellow setup attackers such as Mega Gyarados, Volcarona, and Dragonite break down teams to facilitate a late-game sweep with Espathra. Espathra is greatly bothered by Dark-types such as Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, Tera Dark Clodsire, and Ting-Lu, making Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Gholdengo great partners alongside it, as they wear down their shared checks. Iron Valiant is a notable partner with Electric Seed sets, as it's also able to take advantage of Electric Terrain via Quark Drive, as well as pressuring Clodsire and Gholdengo, dissuading the former from Terastallizing.

Calm Mind Espathra is one of the most threatening Pokemon on hyper offense teams, being able to quickly spiral out of hand on teams that lack hard counters to it. Due to its combination of Speed Boost and Calm Mind, in conjunction with Stored Power, after a few turns to set up even resists falter to it once it gets a few turns to set up, like Tapu Lele and Heatran u could add other examples if u want to here. Dazzling Gleam is the primary coverage option as it allows Espathra to hit Dark-types such as Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, and Kingambit that are immune to its Psychic STAB. Terablast Tera Blast is a solid alternative together with Tera Water to hit Mega Tyranitar, Ting Lu, and Kingambit much harder, but at the cost of requiring Terastal Tera to be effective. Roost prevents Espathra from being worn down quickly, and allow it to easily accrue boosts on Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, and Mega Diancie. Substitute lets it avoid crippling status from Toxapex, Heatran, and Gastrodon, allowing it to use them as setup fodder. Lastly, Protect lets Espathra safely accrue boosts and Leftovers recovery, while notably allowing it to beat a chipped Dragapult head on without prior boosts. Water is the primary Terastal Tera type for Espathra as it gives it an amazing defensive type typing, notably resisting Water which allows it to tear through rain teams with ease while not being able to be revenge killed by Barraskewda or Floatzel’s Aqua Jet. removed the semicolon and replace with a period Water also lets it resist Scizor’s Bullet Punch and let it only take neutral damage from previously super-effective Dark- and Ghost- attacks from Pokemon like mention said pokemon here. Steel trades away the Water-type resist and a stronger coverage in Terablast Tera Blast for an immunity to Toxic, a resistance to Mega Scizor‘s U-turn and Dragonite’s Extreme Speed, preventing them from potentially revenge killing Espartha. The given EV spread allows Espathra to outspeed Dragapult at +1, with the remaining in bulk to allow it to set up easier. Espathra is greatly enabled by dual screens, as it allows it to easily set up on offensive Pokemon easily, making both Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl amazing partners, with the former in particular setting up Electric Terrain to activate Espathra's Electric Seed as well. Cyclizar is also a notable partner as it's Shed Tail allows Espathra to avoid status decapitalized from the likes of Toxapex, Heatran, and Rotom-W, while also preventing it from being phased out by Garchomp's Dragon Tail. Dedicated entry hazard leads such as Landorus-T, Annihilape, and Glimmora also work really well with Espathra as the entry hazards quickly wear down Espathra's checks into range of its attacks. Teammates such as Mega Gyarados, Volcarona, and Dragonite pair well with Espathra as they all break down opposing teams to facilitate a late game Espathra sweep sweep with Espathra. Espathra is greatly bothered by Dark-types such as Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, Tera-Dark Clodsire, and Ting-Lu, making Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Gholdengo great partners alongside it as they wear down their shared checks turn this into mons that remove darks quickly imo. Iron Valiant is a notable partner with Electric Seed sets as its also able to take advantage of Tapu Koko's Electric Terrain via Quark Drive, while also pressuring Clodsire and dissuading it from Terastallizing.
