Kartana's high Attack stat and access to great Max Moves make it an excellent addition to Kyogre teams, where it can remove Gastrodon from play and boost Kyogre's Speed with Max Airstream. Kartana works best as a late-game sweeper, KOing a weakened foe and gaining enough momentum withBeast Boost for it and its partner to sweep through the game. Kartana really needs all four of its coverage moves, as Smart Strike does the most damage to Zacian-C and Calyrex-I, Sacred Sword is necessary to hit Incineroar, and Aerial Ace—via Max Airstream—is essential for winning Speed wars against other common Dynamax users on opposing Kyogre teams like Thundurus, Tornadus, Landorus-T, and opposing Kartana. Max Knuckle from Sacred Sword also helps Kartana snowball through teams quickly, particularly if Zacian-C is in with Kartana to also gain the Attack boosts. White Herb and Life Orb help Kartana maximize its damage output, with the former cancelling out Intimidate and the latter giving it the strongest possible attacks while. Dynamaxed. Assault Vest is an option to patch Kartana's laughable Special Defense, though note that Assault Vest Kartana should use 244 Special Defense EVs to further weather special attacks.

I honestly don't really have anything to add here, might as well be QC approved 1/1 for the straightforward Kartana!

Kartana's high Attack stat and access to great max moves Max Moves make it an excellent addition to Kyogre teams, where it can remove Gastrodon from play and boost Kyogre's Speed with Max Airstream. Kartana works best as a late game sweeper, taking a KO on late-game sweeper, KOing a weakened foe and gaining enough momentum with a Beast Boost to enable for it and its partner to sweep through the game. Kartana really needs all four of its coverage moves, as Sacred Sword is necessary to hit Incineroar, Smart Strike does the most damage to Zacian-C and Calyrex-I, Sacred Sword is necessary to hit Incineroar, and Aerial Ace—via Max Airstream—is essential for winning Speed wars against other common Dynamax users on opposing (I imagine?) Kyogre teams like Thundurus, Tornadus, Landorus-T, and opposing Kartana with Max Airstream. Max Knuckle from Sacred Sword also helps Kartana snowball through games teams quickly, particularly if it can give Zacian-C those Attack boosts as well. Zacian-C is in with Kartana to also gain the Attack boosts. White Herb and Life Orb are used to help Kartana maximize its damage output, with the former cancelling out Intimidate drops and the latter giving it the strongest possible attacks while in Dynamax. Dynamaxed. Assault Vest is an option to patch Kartana's laughable Special Defense, though note that Assault Vest Kartana should use 244 Special Defense EVs to further help weather special attacks.
