[SET COMMENTS]
Inteleon, when holding a Choice Specs has a surprising amount of power and speed and although it faces competition as a Water-Type Dynamaxer from Gyarados, it benefits from being a special attacker and therefore being able to break through Gyarados checks such as Corviknight as well as having a higher starting speed. Choice Specs revolves around Inteleon Dynamaxing and therefore snowballing out of control with speed boosts as well as setting up its own rain. Hydro Pump is a must due to its pure power and being a strong STAB. Air Slash hits Ferrothorn and opposing grass types and allows Inteleon to boost its speed whilst dynamaxed. If choice scarf, you don't have to run air slash and can instead run Shadow ball to hit Dragapult, Galarian-Corsola and Mimikyu. Ice Beam is another option that hits Hydreigon, which scarf Inteleon outspeeds. The last move is almost always U-turn to keep up momentum versus unfavourable switch ins. Inteleon is good paired with pokemon that can weaken Ferrothorn such as Rotom-Heat and Arcanine as well as pokemon that can take advantage of bulkier walls that can take Inteleon's attacks such as Snorlax and Toxapex.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set functions similarly to Sash Torrent Greninja in Ultra Sun Ultra Moon. Scald is the main STAB, becoming boosted when Inteleon is taken down to sash and giving the possibility of burning opposing pokemon. Ice Beam and Shadow Ball are both options for Inteleon, with the former hitting dragons such as haxorus harder whilst the latter hits Mimikyu harder. U-turn can gain momentum and break opposing lead's sashes. Sucker Punch means you can get a hit off on Dragapult or Mimikyu if they bring you down to sash. Rash or Naive Nature are preferred, mostly the former since Naive does not give any significant advantages speed wise, outspeeding Cinderace and Hawlucha being the only two significant advantages. Max Special attack just gives the most power. Inteleon fares quite well as a stand alone pokemon but can work well with pokemon which take advantage of Mimikyu and Ferrothorn counterleads such as Corviknight, Ferrothorn, Arcanine and Rotom-Heat.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set aims to use Inteleon's natural speed to substitute into Torrent and then hit opponents with Torrent Boosted Water Attacks. Scald is Inteleon's main Water-type STAB move for spamming outside of Dynamax. Hydro Cannon is a nuke at Torrent and also turns into a 150 Base Power Max Geyser. Max Geyser also sets up Rain, further boosting Inteleon's Water-type moves, allowing it to even put big damage onto Ferrothorn. Air Slash allows Inteleon to boost its speed, whilst Sucker Punch hits Dragapult. When using Sub/Torrent Inteleon, take care for abilities and moves that bypass subsititute such as Dragapult's infiltrator and Sylveon's Hyper Voice and Toxtricity's Boomburst and Overdrive. As well as this, Scarfers such as Darmanitan-Galar and Rotom-Formes can threaten Inteleon with the OHKO. Excadrill is a decent teammate for this Inteleon set as it covers a lot of these weaknesses.
