Close Combat is the STAB move of choice, as not only is it the strongest Fighting move available, the Defense drops rarely matter. Every other move for Sawk acts as a coverage option. Knock Off is a strong option to cover Ghost-types like Dragapult, Gengar, and Chandelure. Poison Jab is helpful for beating Fairy-types, mainly Togekiss and non-Kebia Berry Whimsicott. Earthquake helps beat non-Fake Out Zeraora. Fire Punch is a helpful option for picking off certain Bug-types like Durant, while Thunder Punch can be used for Water-types like Gyarados.

Physically defensive Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Arcanine, and Milotic are a serious threat to Sawk, as they can easily survive and respond to its attacks. Mold Breaker Haxorus and Neutralizing Gas Galarian Weezing also counter Sawk, as they can survive an attack and OHKO through Sturdy. Similarly, priority from Quick Attack Sylveon can 2HKO Sawk before Poison Jab can 2HKO Sylveon. Special attackers such as Goodra or Dragapult can help defeat physically defensive Pokemon and appreciate Sawk's ease in beating Steel- and Dark-types like Excadrill and Incineroar. Meanwhile, specific counters to Haxorus or Galarian Weezing such as Excadrill can be used to beat them, while Sawk beats opposing Ground- or Fire-types like Excadrill and Chandelure.

Every other move for Sawk acts as a coverage option. Knock Off is a strong option to cover Ghost-types like Dragapult, Gengar, and Chandelure. Poison Jab is helpful for beating Fairy-types, namely (mainly? only namely if it's just these two) Togekiss and non-Kebia Berry Whimsicott. Earthquake helps beat non-Fake Out Zeraora.
