Choice Specs Sylveon is an amazing wallbreaker in UU; its great bulk and typing allow it to force out common Pokemon like Noivern and Flygon, and its Pixilate-boosted Hyper Voice is very hard to switch into for most teams. Many of its checks, such as Bronzong, Escavalier, and Assault Vest Reuniclus, can be hit super effectively by Mystical Fire or Shadow Ball. Poison-types such as Roserade and Galarian Weezing can be handled with Psyshock. Darmanitan, Swords Dance Incineroar, and Pangoro are all great answers to Sylveon's aforementioned switch-ins; the former two can also wear down Gigalith and bring Sylveon in on Rotom-W with U-turn. Copperajah and Escavalier make great partners, with Copperajah providing Stealth Rock support and Escavalier checking Haxorus. Both also help Sylveon with Poison-types such as Roserade. Choice Specs Sylveon also pairs well with Pokemon such as Haxorus and Lucario due to its ability to function as an early-game wallbreaker, weakening the likes of Escavalier and Doublade to facilitate a late-game sweep.
