Set Description
========
Iron Defense allows Necrozma to boost its physical bulk while simultaneously boosting the power of Stored Power. Calm Mind allows Necrozma to boost its Special Defense while also increasing the power of Stored Power through increases in Base Power and Special Attack raises. Stored Power allows Necrozma to unleash a powerful attack after boosting up its defenses. Moonlight provides reliable recovery to better take hits from the likes of Darmanitan-Galar and Specs Naganadel.
EVs
========
Strategy & Support
========
The general strategy is to boost either Necrozma's physical or special bulk depending on what type of attacker it is facing which simultaneously boosts the base power of Stored Power. Use Moonlight whenever Necrozma gets to low hp to allow it to continue setting up. Finally, release a boosted Stored Power to KO the opposing Pokemon. Due to Necrozma's usage of Stored Power it has favorable matchups against other Calm Minders such as Primarina or non-Taunt Tapu Lele.

[SETS COMMENT]
Set Description
========
Prismatic Laser is Necrozma's strongest attack although it comes at the drawback of a recharge turn. Photon Geyser is a secondary STAB attack with the notable advantage of not requiring a recharge turn as well as ignoring abilities, most significantly Avalugg's Sturdy. Heat Wave gives Necrozma the ability to hit steel types such as Ferrothorn as well as grass types such as Rillaboom without the need for a recharge turn. Finally Earth Power allows Necrozma to also hit steel types such as Jirachi and non-Air Balloon Heatran. Earthquake can be used to secure the Magnezone matchup as if running Earth Power Magnezone can click Mirror Coat. Dark Pulse can be ran to have better odds against opposing Necrozmas as well as Choiced Cresselias.
EVs
========
Strategy & Support
========

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to being either not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Dark Types**: Pokemon such as Urshifu, Moltres-Galar, and other Dark types are immune to Necrozma STAB attacks and completely blanket Necrozma's Stall set.
**Insert Threat Here**: Describe why the Pokemon is a threat.
