[SET COMMENTS]
Solgaleo is one of the tier's best Trick Room setters due to its amazing defenses, pivoting with Teleport that can let it bring in its teammates safely, and good typing. Knock Off can be used instead of Sunsteel Strike to hit Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon like Mewtwo and Deoxys; its item-removing effect also makes Solgaleo pair well with entry hazard setters like Great Tusk, as it can remove Heavy-Duty Boots to make hazards more potent. Tera Water removes Solgaleo's Fire and Ground weaknesses, which can let it check Pokemon like Arceus-Fire, Landorus, and Great Tusk. Solgaleo synergizes excellently with Pokemon like Magearna and Dialga, as they can help set up Trick Room for each other. Solgaleo also pairs well with Pokemon that can take advantage of Trick Room like Ursaluna, Kingambit, and Palkia, as it can pivot them in safely to help deal with threats like Chi-Yu, Spectrier, and Arceus-Fire. Solgaleo can often be threatened out by Pokemon like Kingambit, Chi-Yu, and Arceus-Fire, which makes partners like Zamazenta-C, Arceus-Dark, and Palkia appreciated. Solgaleo can also pair well with other slow pivots like Dialga and Galarian Slowking, as they can pivot each other in to help deal with Pokemon like Choice-locked Kyurem-W and Zamazenta-C.
