Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Life Orb
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Sunsteel Strike

While Necrozma-DM is one of the best defensive Pokemon in the tier, it can also be a sweeper with Dragon Dance. In particular, Life Orb-boosted Stone Edge allows it to lure in and KO both Ho-Oh and Yveltal, two common checks. At +1, Earthquake 2HKOes opposing Necrozma-DM, on top of OHKOing Eternatus and Zacian-C. Sunsteel Strike hits Calyrex-S and Xerneas hard, allowing Necrozma-DM to check the latter. It can also set up with ease thanks to its bulk and typing, letting it use Dragon Dance against opposing Necrozma-DM, Eternatus, and Xerneas.

This set is stopped cold by defensive Zygarde-C and Lunala, and it struggles against fast revenge killers such as Calyrex-S, which outspeeds it even after a Dragon Dance. As such, specially inclined teammates like Xerneas and Yveltal can help against Zygarde-C and Lunala while appreciating the removal of Ho-Oh and Yveltal. Grimmsnarl is another partner that can provide dual screens support to ease its setup. Similarly, Shuckle can use Sticky Web to let Necrozma-DM outspeed Calyrex-S at +1. This set gives up Stealth Rock, so make sure to include an entry hazard setter in your team; Tyranitar, Groudon, and Ferrothorn can be considered for this. Tyranitar also checks Calyrex-S.

While Necrozma-DM is one of the best defensive Pokemon in the tier, it can also be a sweeper with Dragon Dance. In particular, Life Orb-boosted Stone Edge allows it to lure in and KO both Ho-Oh and Yveltal, two common checks.(remove space) At +1, Earthquake 2HKOes opposing Necrozma-DM, on top of OHKOing Eternatus and Zacian-C. Sunsteel Strike hits Calyrex-S and Xerneas hard, allowing Necrozma-DM to check the latter. It can also set-up with ease either due to its bulk and typing letting it use Dragon Dance against threats opposing like Necrozma-DM, Eternatus and Xerneas. An Adamant nature is preferred, in order to maximise damage output. as the Speed gained with Jolly isn't really useful. (Not sure this is really necessary to mention)

This set is stopped cold by defensive Zygarde-C and Lunala, and struggles against fast revenge killers like such as Calyrex-S, which outspeed it even after a Dragon Dance. As such, specially inclined teammates like Xerneas and Yveltal can help against Zygarde-C and Lunala, while appreciating the removal of opposing Ho-Oh or Yveltal. Otherwise, Screens support makes Necrozma-DM almost impossible to OHKO while Webs support enables it to outspeed Calyrex-S after a single Dragon Dance. This set gives up Stealth Rock, so make sure to include a setter in your team; Tyranitar, Groudon and Ferrothorn can be considered for this. Tyranitar also checks Calyrex-S for Necrozma-DM.
