- Flare Blitz helps Galarian Darmanitan take on threats such as Genesect, Choice Band Jirachi, and Ferrothorn.
- Earthquake lets Galarian Darmanitan handle Electric-types such as Tapu Koko, Zeraora, and Regieleki.
- Superpower is preferred to OHKO non-Chople Berry Urshifu-S, fast variants of Heatran, and non-Custap Berry Porygon-Z.

Set Description
=============
Explain what the set's moves, items, and abilities are for, whenever it isn't blatantly clear. For example, you generally don't need to explain something obvious like why Icicle Crash or Gorilla Tactics are used on Galarian Darmanitan as opposed to needing to explain something less obvious like its item choice or coverage moves like Flare Blitz, Giga Impact, etc.

EVs
=============
Explain the EV spread of the analysis with all relevant benchmarks made clear. Alternative viable EV spreads can also be explained here with what they do differently to the main spread and what you gain or lose from them.

Usage Tips
=============
Explain how to use the Set; any particular move combinations that players should know, any matchups that require particular plays, cases where something might be a 50/50, etc. This includes examples like explaining when Mega Charizard X should use Dragon Dance vs attacking immediately, beating Volcarona with Aromatisse, playing with or around Custap Berry Pokemon, etc.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to being either not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame. This section is entirely optional, so if a Pokemon doesn't really have any noteworthy alternative options, don't feel obliged to try and make something up.
