The majestic Fezandipiti has recently graced OU with its beauty! On top of letting it enter the field to pivot around more freely, it uses its unique defensive profile to check the tier's dangerous foes like Iron Valiant, Rillaboom, and—more importantly—Darkrai and IronPress Zamazenta, especially since the latter has generally forgone Heavy Slam. It is also a solid progress-maker, utilizing Toxic Chain alongside Beat Up to near-reliably put the opposition—including defensive pivots like Alomomola, Moltres, and Landorus-T—on a timer. This is propelled even further with Tera Dark and the proper teammates, ensuring that even poison-immune targets like the prominent Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking cannot stand in its way. The EV spread allows it to outspeed Raging Bolt and survive two Earth Powers from Kyurem. Fezandipiti appreciates teaming up with strong offensive threats like Dragapult, Darkrai, Ogerpon-W, and Kyurem; on top of enjoying Fezandipiti's pivot support, they can help threaten Gliscor, which Fezandipiti struggles against. Defensive partners like Landorus-T and Zapdos can deal with Kingambit and Great Tusk, with Fezandipiti handling Darkrai and special Iron Valiant for them in return.
