Manaphy is a potent late-game sweeper on offense teams with Tail Glow in conjunction with strong STAB and coverage moves. Ice Beam hits Dragon-types like Dragonite, Roaring Moon, and Kommo-o, and Energy Ball can be used to hit opposing Water-types like Manaphy and Empoleon, while Stored Power can be used as coverage for Iron Moth if not running Air Lock. Primordial Sea can be used in combination with Weather Ball to deal more damage, while Air Lock can be used to ensure Manaphy can use Scald against Desolate Land users like Heatran and Iron Moth, and Protosynthesis combined with Booster Energy can make Manaphy a more potent late-game sweeper by boosting its speed. Manaphy appreciates physical wallbreakers like Roaring Moon, Meowscarada, and Ogerpon-C that can take out special walls like Hisuian Goodra and opposing Manaphy, allowing it to more easily sweep. Manaphy also appreciates dual screen setters like Corviknight and Mew, which allow it to more easily set up. Manaphy can struggle against Desolate Land Pokemon like Iron Moth, Heatran, and Ceruledge if not running Air Lock, so it's recommended that Manaphy is paired with a Ground-type like Great Tusk or Garchomp that can handle them.
