Thanks to its excellent Special Attack and Speed, Keldeo is a potent late-game cleaner that is especially effective against stall and sand teams. The combination of Substitute and Calm Mind allows Keldeo to set up against passive Pokemon incapable of breaking a Substitute, such as non-Psychic Slowbro, non-Brave Bird Mandibuzz, and non-Haze Toxapex or Mantine. Substitute is also excellent for avoiding status and easing prediction. Scald is the Water-type move of choice, as it allows Keldeo to burn physical attackers, potentially giving it the opportunity to set up a Substitute against them later in the game. Secret Sword is secondary STAB that can notably bypass Blissey's sky high Special Defense.
Keldeo struggles to break past Psychic Slowbro, and Haze Toxapex or Mantine. Accordingly, Pokemon that can cripple or take advantage of them are excellent choices for teammates. Electric-types such as Zeraora, Magnezone, and Rotom-Heat can threaten the aforementioned Pokemon and retain momentum using Volt Switch. Trick + Sticky Barb Clefable is also a notable teammate, as the passive damage from Scald burns and Sticky Barb will make any wall a much less effective roadblock. Finally, Dragapult is a massive threat to Keldeo, as it shrugs off both of Keldeo's STAB types and, Infiltrator allows Dragapult to damage Keldeo even behind a Substitute. Having a Dragapult check such as Mandibuzz, Clefable, and Blissey will allow Keldeo to safely retreat.
