[SET COMMENTS]
Sylveon's valuable defensive stats and reliable typing make it one of the best Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-type switch-ins as well as a reliable cleric. Bulky Pokemon without reliable recovery appreciate Sylveon's ability to keep them healthy with Wish and Heal Bell. Protect allows Sylveonto recover itself with Wish and scout moves from Choice item users such as Choice Scarf Mienshao and Choice Scarf Xurkitree. Sylveon is able to run Calm Mind if your team has a way of pressuring Steel-types and can afford not having Heal Bell support. Sylveon's EVs increase its physical bulk to make it a proper wall to offensive threats such as Zygarde-10% and Sharpedo. Sylveon generally fits on more bulky or balanced teams that appreciate its Wish support and useful defensive typing. Bulky Ground-types such as Rhyperior and Steelix can wear down bulky Steel-types, which then allows Sylveon to move freely or even rack up Calm Minds. In return, Sylveon is able to keep them healthy with its cleric support. Offensive threats like Necrozma can threaten Poison-types like Vileplume and Crobat that annoy Sylveon. Steel-types like Metagross and Cobalion are also useful, since they resist both of Sylveon's weaknesses, while in return Sylveon is able to keep them healthy with Wish.
[SET]
name: Choice Specs
move 1: Hyper Voice
move 2: Shadow Ball
move 3: Psyshock
move 4: Mystical Fire
item: Choice Specs
ability: Pixilate
nature: Modest
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
This set mainly focuses on breaking through teams. Shadow Ball deals heavy damage to Galarian Slowbro and Chandelure, both of which are otherwise solid checks to Sylveon. Mystical Fire threatens the Steel-types that would usually check Sylveon, like Registeel and Metagross. Psyshock allows Sylveon to threaten Poison-types that can annoy it like Crobat and Toxtricity. Moonblast is an alternative to Hyper Voice for potential Throat Chop users such as Zarude. Sylveon is able to fit on both offense and balance teams. Bulky Water-types like Suicune and Milotic can be good teammates, since they are able to deal with Fire-types such as Talonflame and Darmanitan while also making up for Sylveon's lacking Defense. Offensive pivots like Zarude and Xurkitree can also be helpful, since they can bring in Sylveon on some favorable matchups and chip Pokemon enough so that Sylveon can get KOs. Entry hazard removers like Noivern and Crobat can be helpful to allow Sylveon to switch freely without getting chipped. Finally, Pokemon that can pressure and deal with Steel-types such as Steelix and Klefki, like Rhyperior and Entei, can be good so that Sylveon can spam Hyper Voice instead of being forced into making predictions.
