for the screens. Since even behind screens, 
and using Parting shot so 
is down and even Ground when positioned well. Also this pokemon gets so damn fast after one single Dragon Dance. Substitute also helps from will o wisp users or t wave users. Other types like Psychic (after clearing 
or 
) and offensive water can also lose to 
, 
, 
, defensive 
, 
once eject button has been activated Roaring Moon can trap them and strat to setting up freely against them. With Taunt you avoid Toxic, Spore, weird set ups, Recover. Covert Cloak allows to set up without caring about Poison Jab / Sludge Bomb / Scald or stat drops while Shed Shell allows to switch if your opponent brings not the good mon since Jaw Lock traps you too.
so Garchomp 
with or without Archaludon 
. A way to comeback to have a 2nd chance with Latias 
healing wish is a nice option. Obviously you want a SpDef wall like Goodra-Hisui 
for fairy and ice moves and also knock off some heavy duty boots, leftovers, etc. Kommo-o 
likes this set since it will struggle against very bulky mon while helping against dark and offensive mons with its priority.
(Fire)
on fire, so I had to make a replacement that would handle rock types and created this. What I found was that not only was this set effective against physical rock attackers like 
and 
, but I also found that it works against a lot of physical attackers period. Some noteworthy attackers that are either threatened by this set or checked by it are 
. The combination of Intimidate + bulk investment makes Tauros a good switch in to a lot of physical attackers and can actually force a lot of them out due to the threat of Will-o-wisp or becoming setup fodder. 
and non-boosted 
. 
is a good partner as it not only sets sun that allows Tauros to threaten threats like 
and 
, but also removes hazards at the same time. 
and bulky 
are also great partners for this mon due to Tauros creating opportunities for these mons to setup in otherwise risky conditions. 
is still a good sun setter with this mon thanks to its Healing Wish allowing it to give Tauros more HP to work with as it lacks recovery of its own. It's Encore also allows Tauros to potentially exploit a mon locked into a certain move, like a 
works well with Tauros as it can take water hits for free, and Tauros attracts a lot of water types like 
and 
who get checked by Volcanion. 
. The difference in bulk is absurd and allows for Bisharp to get up multiple swords dances vs Pokémon it really shouldn’t. It also takes the mind games out of setup and 50/50’s because it lives virtually any hit on both sides of the spectrum.
