Stored Power (Necrozma-DM) @ Leftovers

[SET COMMENTS]

Necrozma-DM can function as a formidable bulky special sweeper under the right conditions. This set thrives on hyper offense teams as a blanket check to common anti-offense tools like Trick Room Calyrex-I, opposing Necrozma-DM, Iron Defense + Calm Mind Arceus formes, and Zacian-C. By boosting its defenses, Necrozma-DM becomes nearly unkillable, leveraging Stored Power to counter-sweep. 140 Special Defense EVs ensure that even Modest Eternatus requires three consecutive Fire Blasts to KO Necrozma-DM from full HP, granting ample opportunity to set up Calm Mind. Meanwhile, 120 Defense EVs with a Bold nature allow Necrozma-DM to survive two Low Kicks from a Jolly Koraidon 98% of the time, enabling it to safely switch into a Choice Scarf-locked Koraidon, recover HP under sun, bolster its defenses with Iron Defense, and set up on it further. Tera Poison eliminates Necrozma-DM's Fire weakness, grants a Fighting resistance, and retains its Toxic immunity, which is critical for a slow setup sweeper. Tera Water turns its Fire weakness into a resistance, removes its Ground and Dark weaknesses, and adds a Water resistance. This allows Necrozma-DM to set up against threats like non-Choice Specs Kyogre and significantly improves its durability against the devastating Tera Fire Koraidon, albeit at the risk of being poisoned by Eternatus or Gliscor.

Necrozma-DM's inability to damage Dark-types and the time required for it to set up are the key limitations. Koraidon, Arceus-Fairy, and Zacian-C are ideal partners to handle Dark-types like Ting-Lu and Kingambit. Special attackers such as Eternatus, Mewtwo, or and Lunala can overwhelm Ting-Lu and Ho-Oh early, denying their ability to phaze and thus paving the way for Necrozma-DM to sweep later. Ribombee provides critical speed control through paralysis and Sticky Web to help Necrozma-DM to improve the matchup against Taunt variants of Calm Mind Arceus, which completely shut down this set. In return, Necrozma-DM supports these teammates by absorbing Ice-type attacks from Calyrex-I, tanking Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Play Rough, and acting as a last resort against Iron Defense + Calm Mind Arceus if its teammates cannot take it down.

[SET COMMENTS]

Despite primarily serving as a versatile physical-defensive Steel-type in the meta, it still does that with this set, this feels like extra info imo Necrozma-Dusk-Mane (NDM) Necrozma-DM can also function as a formidable "Demon Sweeper" bulky special sweeper don't call it a demon sweeper in set comments as thats not very clear. if you want to mention the demon name it's better suited to the actual set name under the right conditions. Its 140 Special Defense EVs ensures that even a Modest Eternatus requires three consecutive Fire Blasts to KO NDM Necrozma-Dusk-Mane from full HP, granting ample opportunity to set up Calm Mind. this is only true when etern is unboosted AND isn't life orb. mention this Meanwhile, a 120+ Defense EV investment EVs with a Bold Nature allows NDM Necrozma-DM to survive two Low Kicks from a Jolly Koraidon 98% of the time, enabling it to safely switch into a Scarf-locked Koraidon, recover HP under sun, and bolster its defenses with Iron Defense. and set up on it.

Tera Poison eliminates NDM’s Necrozma-DM's Fire weakness, grants a Fighting resistance, and retains its Toxic immunity—critical for slow setup sweepers. Tera Water improves its defensive profile by unnecessary turning turns Fire into a resistance, removing removes its Ground and Dark weaknesses poison also removes dark weakness, and adding a Water resistance. This allows NDM Necrozma-DM to set up against threats like Kyogre, not really. specs rips it apart even with the resist, and becoming weak to thunder isnt ideal either esp vs cm ogre. water is generally used for setting up on korai's flare blitz albeit at the risk of being poisoned by Gliscor or Eternatus. etern first

This NDM set thrives on Hyper Offense teams as a blanket check to common anti-offense tools like Trick Room Calyrex-Ice, opposing NDM Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-Crowned. By boosting defenses while counter-sweeping, it becomes nearly unkillable, leveraging Stored Power (whose Base Power escalates with stat boosts) dex info to devastating effect. move this sentence to the first paragraph, right after the first sentence, since this sentence just talks about what the set does. However, its inability to damage Dark-types remains a key limitation. merge these two paragraphs into one as they both cover team partners Koraidon is an ideal partner to handle Dark-types like Ting-Lu and Kingambit. mention zac and fairyceus 100% While Kingambit is a late-game menace, Ting-Lu often appears early as a special sponge. feels like extra info Special attackers such as Eternatus, Mewtwo, or Giratina-O not big on the gira mention as it cant do very much to ting without draco, which kinda sucks imo. would mention cm arc forms like flyceus that do the job much better than gira can pressure overwhelm Ting-Lu early, paving the way for NDM Necrozma-DM to sweep later.In return, NDM Necrozma-DM supports these teammates by absorbing Ice-type attacks from Calyrex-Ice (which OHKO most frail allies) extra info imo and tanking Zacian-Crowned’s Behemoth Blade or Play Rough.

Though Dark-types are less common in the current Ubers meta due to Koraidon’s dominance, their presence still demands preparation. Proper team coordination ensures NDM’s dual role as a defensive pivot and late-game sweeper remains potent. extra info imo, you already talk about this when you mention teammates that handle darks

For the Tinglu part I added Lunala but not kyogre since kyogre does not really help to overwhelm it, tinglu would run 90% of the time

Necrozma-DM (NDM) can function as a formidable bulky special sweeper under the right conditions. This NDM set thrives on Hyper Offense hyper offense teams as a blanket check to common anti-offense tools like Trick Room Calyrex-Ice Calyrex-I, opposing Necrozma-DM, Iron Defense + Calm Mind Arceus formes, and Zacian-Crowned Zacian-C. By boosting its defenses while counter-sweeping, it, (AC) Necrozma-DM becomes nearly unkillable, leveraging Stored Power to counter-sweep. Its 140 Special Defense EVs ensures ensure that even an Itemless Modest Eternatus requires three consecutive Fire Blasts to KO Necrozma-DM from full HP, granting ample opportunity to set up Calm Mind. Meanwhile, a 120 Defense EV investment EVs with a Bold nature allows allow Necrozma-DM to survive two Low Kicks from a Jolly Koraidon 98% of the time, enabling it to safely switch into a Choice Scarf-locked Koraidon, recover HP under sun, bolster its defenses with Iron Defense, and set up on it further. Tera Poison eliminates Necrozma-DM's Fire weakness, grants a Fighting resistance, and retains its Toxic immunity—, (AC) which is critical for a slow setup sweepers sweeper. Tera Water turns its Fire weakness into a resistance, removes its Ground and Dark weaknesses, and adding adds a Water resistance. This allows Necrozma-DM to set up against threats like non-Choice Specs Kyogre and significantly improve the improves its durability against the devastating Tera Fire Koraidon, albeit at the risk of being poisoned by Eternatus or Gliscor. (Moved the Tera type information into the first paragraph.)

Necrozma-DM's However, its inability to damage Dark-types and the time required for it to set it up remain are the key limitations. Koraidon, Arceus-Fairy, and Zacian-Crowned Zacian-C are ideal partners to handle Dark-types like Ting-Lu and Kingambit. Special attackers such as Eternatus, Mewtwo, or and Lunala can overwhelm Ting-Lu and Ho-Oh early, denying their ability to whirlwind phaze and thus paving the way for Necrozma-DM to sweep later.
