[SET COMMENTS]
Tera Fairy Calyrex-S is one of the most threatening setup sweepers on hyper offense and offense teams that trades immediate pressure and firepower for the ability to slowly overwhelm and snowball through opponent's teams. Tera Fairy removes Calyrex-S's weakness to Ghost- and Dark-type moves like Extreme Killer Arceus's Shadow Claw, Giratina-O's Shadow Sneak, Ting-Lu's Payback, and Kingambit's Sucker Punch while also making it immune to Koraidon's Outrage and Scale Shot. Draining Kiss and Leftovers allow Calyrex-S to outheal damage from Ting-Lu's Ruination and Arceus's Extreme Speed after a Nasty Plot and Terastallizing, simultaneously inflicting heavy damage to both. Astral Barrage enables near perfect coverage with Draining Kiss, hitting Steel- and Fire-types like Necrozma-DM, Zacian-C and Ho-Oh for massive damage, notably OHKOing the former two at +2. Taunt prevents Ting-Lu, Ho-Oh, and Mandibuzz from phazing Calyrex-S by Whirlwind and Arceus from setting up Swords Dance on Calyrex-S. It also stops status spreaders like Thunder Wave Arceus-Fairy, Toxic Eternatus, and Toxic Mandibuzz from crippling Calyrex-S with paralysis and poison, especially letting Calyrex-S set up freely on the latter two with Tera Fairy. The EV spread lets Calyrex-S survive Adamant Choice Scarf Koraidon's Flare Blitz from full HP while sun is up and max Speed investment allows Calyrex-S to outspeed Zacian-C and speed tie with opposing Calyrex-S. However, this set is overly reliant on Tera and setup to break past its checks like Ting-Lu, Arceus, and Mandibuzz as it cannot do significant damage to them without Terastallizing due to non-STAB Draining Kiss's low Base Power.
Tera Fairy Calyrex-S fits primarily on hyper offense teams where it can utilize dual screens to set up safely. Thus, Grimmsnarl is an excellent partner for Calyrex-S, providing dual screens support with Prankster and can safely bring in Calyrex-S with Parting Shot. As Calyrex-S is not holding Heavy-Duty Boots, it is prone to entry hazards from the likes of Ting-Lu, Eternatus, and Gliscor. Glimmora helps to patch this weakness by clearing entry hazards via Mortal Spin and also switches in to Choice Scarf Koraidon's Flare Blitz, Arceus's Shadow Claw, and Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire and sets up Toxic Spikes to help Calyrex-S clean up. Due to the aforementioned reliance on Tera to properly function as a sweeper, Calyrex-S appreciates teammates that can punch holes early-game without needing to Tera such as Life Orb Miraidon, Swords Dance Arceus, Swords Dance Koraidon, and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground. In particular, Miraidon heavily pressures Ting-Lu and threatens Ho-Oh, paving the way for Calyrex-S to sweep late-game. Calyrex-S is also able to lure in Arceus and get rid of it with Tera Fairy, which opens up an opportunity for Agility Miraidon to set up as Arceus with Extreme Speed revenge kills a weakened Miraidon. However, Tera Normal Arceus with Mental Herb ignores Taunt and threatens an OHKO on Calyrex-S at +2 with Extreme Speed if Reflect is not up. As such, Zacian-C is a great partner that forces Arceus out due to the latter fearing boosted attacks from Zacian-C. Calyrex-S is also unable to OHKO bulkier variants of Kyogre at +2, and Kyogre deals huge damage to Calyrex-S back with rain-boosted Origin Pulse, or cripples it with Thunder Wave. Choice Scarf sets can outspeed and OHKO Calyrex-S with Water Spout, hence Koraidon that can switch in on Kyogre's Water-type attacks is a good teammate. Similarly, Miraidon can take a few hits from Kyogre and is immune to Thunder Wave. However, Ice Beam is capable of 2HKOing both. Calyrex-S is vulnerable to getting reverse sweeped by Ditto and gets forced out by opposing Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, therefore Arceus makes up for a valuable partner by switching in to Astral Barrage. In return, Calyrex-S can take advantage of common switchins to Arceus like Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Water and Alomomola to set up Nasty Plot.
