Mega Crucibelle is the premier offensive pivot in the CAP metagame. Once Mega-Evolved, Mega Crucibelle gets Magic Guard, negating the recoil of Head Smash and making it extremely spammable late-game. Mega Crucibelle can take advantage of common Pokemon in the tier like Jumbao, Tornadus-T, and Clefable, giving it ample opportunities to come in and pivot around or break down Pokemon. Mega Crucibelle is also a great Stealth Rock setter thanks to its ability to pressure many common Defoggers. Krilowatt is Mega Crucibelle's most common partner, as they form a great VoltTurn core together: they both are very fast, they both have Magic Guard, which means they aren't bothered by entry hazards, and they both can weaken each other's checks. Mega Crucibelle also massively benefits from Spikes because they can consistently wear down its common switch-ins, so Pokemon such as Syclant and Ferrothorn are good teammates to set Spikes.
