Meowscarada is a good offensive pivot that utilizes its high Speed and great coverage to bring its teammates in. Knock Off is excellent for making progress against foes like Heatran, Toxapex, and Landorus-T; it can also cripple switch-ins such as Ferrothorn, Tornadus-T, and Zapdos. U-turn gives coverage against other Grass-types like Rillaboom, Serperior, and opposing Meowscarada, as well as pivoting out Meowscarda from its checks and gaining momentum. Toxic Spikes can be hard to deal with when paired with spinblockers like Ceruledge, Pokemon that pressure Toxic Spikes absorbers like Tapu Lele, and setup sweepers that appreciate Dark-types being put on a timer, such as Mega Latias. Alternatively, Spikes can be used to chip down foes like Ferrothorn and Toxapex. Tera Dark bolsters the power of Knock Off, letting Meowscarada 2HKO Mega Latias and Tornadus-T. Tera Grass allows Meowscarada's Flower Trick to 2HKO defensive Great Tusk and defensive Landorus-T after Stealth Rock chip damage. Entry hazard setters like Heatran, Landorus-T, and Gliscor make for good allies with Meowscarada, as it can remove Heavy-Duty boots from foes such as Toxapex, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T, making the hazards more potent. Meowscarada also pairs well with powerful wallbreakers like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Ursaluna, as these Pokemon can threaten foes that would otherwise check Meowscarada like Tornadus-T, Heatran, and Ferrothorn, respectively, while Meowscarada can safely bring them in with U-turn.

Choice Band Meowscarada is a great wallbreaker that can use its high Speed and Protean-boosted attacks effectively to make progress against the opposing team. Knock Off is a strong Dark-type STAB move that provides beneficial item removal, greatly hampering checks such as Toxapex, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T. U-turn hits Grass-types like opposing Meowscarada and Rillaboom while being a strong pivot move when further bolstered by Protean. Thunder Punch hits foes like Tornadus-T, Corviknight, and Skarmory, while Low Kick can be used instead to break through Ferrothorn, Kyurem, and Heatran. Tera Dark boosts Meowscarada's Knock Off, 2HKOing defensive Zapdos, Heatran, and Gliscor. Alternatively, Tera Grass boosts Flower Trick, letting Meowscarada OHKO Mega Tyranitar, Alomomola, and Slowbro, as well as 2HKOing defensive walls like Clefable and Tornadus-T. Entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu and Great Tusk can be valuable teammates for Meowscarada, as it removes Heavy-Duty Boots on foes like Toxapex, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T, making them quite susceptible to entry hazards. Meowscarada can pair well with other offensive pivots like Rotom-W and Tapu Koko, as they can form a VoltTurn core with it, pivoting them in to help deal with checks like Dragonite, Kommo-o, and Zapdos.
