Due to its exceptional bulk and Steel typing, Hisuian Goodra is a staple on Dragon teams, being able to take on Fairy-, Dragon-, and Ice-type threats. Heavy Slam checks Fairy-types like Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Hatterene while also hitting Dragapult and other Dragon-types neutrally. Body Press, further enhanced by Acid Armor, threatens Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Hydreigon, as well as deals considerable damage to opposing Hisuian Goodra and Walking Wake after Defense boosts. Rest, in conjunction with Chesto Berry, provides instant recovery, comma allowing Hisuian Goodra to preserve Acid Armor boosts while remaining healthy, severely threatening Dragon and hyper offensive Dark teams. The given EV spread provides enough Defense to OHKO Chien-Pao with an unboosted Body Press while retaining as much Special Defense as possible to improve the Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Walking Wake matchups. Shell Armor prevents foes from breaking through Acid Armor boosts with a critical hit.

Baxcalibur is a great teammate in the Ground and Flying matchups, threatening Landorus, Sandy Shocks, and Corviknight. Garchomp provides entry hazards to wear down wallbreakers like Sneasler, Sandy Shocks, and Urshifu-R, as well as deals with walls such as Clodsire, Skeledirge, and Iron Hands. Dragapult offers a Fighting-type immunity to combat Sneasler, Zamazenta, and Urshifu-R. Dragonite and Hydreigon switch into Ground-type attacks from Iron Treads, Great Tusk, and Ting-Lu and also aid in the Steel and Poison matchups. Walking Wake is a huge asset in the Ground matchup and threatens Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Cyclizar removes entry hazards for Hisuian Goodra to improve its longevity and provides it a safe switch in against threats like Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with Shed Tail.

Due to its exceptional bulk and Steel typing, Hisuian Goodra is a staple on Dragon teams; taking on Fairy-, Dragon-, and Ice-type threats. Heavy Slam checks Fairy-types like Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Mimikyu Hatterene while also hitting Dragapult and other Dragon-types neutrally. Body Press, further enhanced by Acid Armor, threatens Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Hydreigon as well as dealing considerable damage to opposing Hisuian Goodra and Walking Wake after Defense boosts. Rest in conjunction with Chesto Berry provides instant recovery allowing Hisuain Hisuian Goodra to preserve Acid Armor boosts while remaining healthy, severally severely threatening Steel, Dark, and Dragon teams once Gholdengo, Sableye, and Garchomp, respectively, have been dealt with (For steel and dark, its very unlikely they'll give up Gholdy/Sab. There are non sab darks (the Grimmsnarl ones) tho, and Hoodra vs Taunt Corv can be worrisome Steel). The given EV spread provides enough Defense to OHKO Chien-Pao with an unboosted Body Press while retaining as much Special Defense as possible to better improve the Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Walking Wake matchups.*mention shell armor because critting after setting up is >:(

Baxcalibur is a great teammate in the Ground- and Flying- matchups, threatening Landorus, Sandy Shocks, and weakened Galarian Zapdos (can also severely pressure corvi). Garchomp provides entry hazards to wear down wallbreakers like Sneasler, Sandy Shocks, and Urshifu-R as well as breaks past walls such as Clodsire, Skeledirge, and Iron Hands. Dragapult offers a Fighting-type immunity to combat Sneasler, Zamazenta, and Hisuian Lilligant (Ice spinner) while also blocking Rapid Spin attempts to keep Garchomp's entry hazards set for Hisuian Goodra (not sure why this matters for Hoodra). Dragonite and Hydreigon switch into Ground-type attacks from Iron Treads, Great Tusk, and Ting-Lu and also aid in the Steel and Poison matchups. Walking Wake is a huge asset in the Ground matchup and threatens Gholdengo and Skeledirge. (Shed Tail Cyc is also great, keeps off hazards and provides momentum since Shed Tail on FM coming in on a predicted Rapid Spin-> Hoodra >:3 since no way is fm killing itself just to break sub. Stuff like that.)
