Haxorus's high power, decent speed, and great coverage allow it serve as a serviceable late game sweeper. Iron Tail is mandatory to break through Fairy-types such as Clefable, Togekiss, and Sylveon. Earthquake is used to break through Aegislash, Toxapex, and Excadrill and to avoid being locked into Outrage against the Rotom appliances. Lum Berry is the preferred item to set up against Pokemon who would otherwise cripple Haxorus via status such as Seismitoad and Rotom-W. A Jolly nature is necessary to outspeed Dragapult, Choice Scarf Darmanitan, and Choice Scarf Rotom-W at +1 Speed. Mold Breaker is the chosen ability as Rivalry is very unreliable and Unnerve is a rather worthless ability in the metagame, while Mold Breaker is quite useful as it allows Haxorus to pierce through Levitate and Unaware users. Haxourus appreciates teammates that can punch holes in the opponents walls to set up a Haxorus sweep; Pokemon such as Rotom-H, Gengar, and Conkeldurr are all great choices. Entry hazard support from the likes of Clefable, Ferrothorn, and and Seismitoad can assist Haxorus's sweep by wearing down the opposing team. A teammate that can take advantage of Corviknight is mandatory. The afromentioned Rotom-H, Aegislash, and Toxtricity are excel at this role. Lastly, Pokemon that can pivot into Choice Scarf users such as Dragapult, Terrakion, and Hydreigon such as Clefable, Toxapex, and Corviknight are highly appreciated to protect Haxorus from a potential revenge kill.
