[SET]
name: Zen Mode
move 1: Endure
move 2: Icicle Crash

move 4: Encore / Reversal / Substitute
item: Salac Berry
ability: Zen Mode
nature: Adamant
evs: 212 Atk / 116 SpD / 180 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Endure allows Galarian Darmanitan to reliably activate Zen Mode and its Salac Berry, giving it massive boosts in Speed and Attack as well as a newfound partial Fire typing, notably allowing it to consistently beat other Galarian Darmanitan variants, Hydreigon, Durant, and Haxorus. Icicle Crash and Flare Blitz are Galarian Darmanitan-Z's strongest STAB options and hit threats such as Haxorus, Goodra, Hydreigon, and Dragapult, as well as Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Durant respectively. The two moves also provide good neutral coverage, as the combination of them is only resisted by Fire- and Water-types, many of which Choiced Galarian Darmanitan struggles with anyway. The last moveslot has a couple of different options: Encore can shut down stallers like Galarian Corsola and physically defensive Corviknight, Reversal can potentially provide a 200-Base Power coverage move to blow away threats like Choice Band Snorlax and Dracovish, Substitute gives Galarian Darmanitan-Z the chance to beat Aegislash, and Earthquake provides a more reliable way to hit Chandelure. 180 Speed EVs ensure that Galarian Darmanitan-Z will outspeed Choice Scarf Gengar, Choice Scarf Durant, and everything slower after transforming into its Zen Mode forme and activating its Salac Berry. 116 Special Defense EVs ensure that Galarian Darmanitan-Z always tanks Choice Scarf Dragapult's Fire Blast. The remaining EVs are placed into Attack with an Adamant nature to maximize Galarian Darmanitan-Z's damage output.

Since this set's main use is as a lure for opposing fast Choice Scarf users such as opposing Galarian Darmanitan, Gengar, and Haxorus, Pokemon that can lure in these threats, like Togekiss, make good partners for Galarian Darmanitan-Z. While Galarian Darmanitan-Z can beat Haxorus and opposing Galarian Darmanitan for Togekiss, Togekiss can in return beat Fighting-types like non-Choice Scarf Sawk and Conkeldurr and walls such as Galarian Corsola. Since Galarian Darmanitan-Z struggles heavily with Sturdy users like Sawk and Crustle, Primarina makes for a good partner; in return, Galarian Darmanitan-Z can beat threats like Venusaur, Diggersby, and Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan. Mandibuzz also acts as a good partner, as it lures in opposing Galarian Darmanitan while beating slower defensive threats that Galarian Darmanitan-Z struggles with, like Steelix, Taunt Whimsicott, and Galarian Corsola. Galarian Darmanitan-Z can cover opposing Galarian Darmanitan as well as Hyper Voice Togekiss in return.

Endure is the crux of this set, as it allows Darmanitan-G to reliably activate Zen Mode and its Salac Berry, giving it massive boosts in Speed and Attack, notably allowing it to consistently beat opposing Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-G, Jirachi, Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Haxorus. Icicle Crash and Flare Blitz are Darmanitan-G's strongest STAB options and hit threats such as Haxorus, Goodra, Hydreigon, and Dragapult, and Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Jirachi respectively. The two moves also provide good neutral coverage, as the combination of them is only resisted by Fire- and Water-types, many of which Darmanitan-G struggles with anyway. The last move has a couple of different options: Reversal can potentially provide a 200 Base Power coverage move to blow away threats like Choice Band Snorlax and Dracovish. and Cinderace, Earthquake provides a more reliable way to hit Fire-Types like Cinderace and Chandelure while also helping in the matchup against Aegislash, and Substitute eases predictions against Pokemon that try to disrupt Darmanitan-G's strategy through the use of status moves, such as Corsola-G and Aromatisse allows Darmanitan-G the chance to beat Aegislash. move sub before EQ 180 Speed EVs ensure that after transforming into its Zen Mode forme and activating its Salac Berry, it will outspeed Choice Scarf Gengar, Choice Scarf Durant, and all Pokemon slower than that, critically including the excellent Choice Scarf Jirachi. 116 Special Defense EVs ensure that Darmanitan-G always tanks Choice Scarf Dragapult's Fire Blast. The remaining EVs are placed into Attack with an Adamant nature to maximize Darmanitan-G's damage output.

Since this set's main use is as a lure for opposing fast scarfers such as opposing Darmanitan-G, Jirachi, and Haxorus, Pokemon that can lure in these threats, like Curse Mimikyu and Togekiss, make good partners for Darmanitan-G. While Darmanitan-G can beat Haxorus and opposing Darmanitan-G for Togekiss, Togekiss can in return beat Fighting-types like non-Choice Scarf Sawk and Conkeldurr and walls such as Galarian Corsola. Similarly, Curse Mimikyu is able to beat bulky defensive Pokemon such as non-Icicle Spear Avalugg and Arcanine that Darmanitan-G struggles with, while its weaknesses to threats such as Excadrill, Haxorus, and Jirachi are covered by Darmanitan-G. Since Darmanitan-G struggles heavily with Sturdy users like Sawk and Crustle, Choice Band Haxorus Primarina makes a good partner; in return Darmanitan-G can beat faster Dragon-types like Choice Scarf Haxorus and Dragapult threats like Venusaur and Choice Band Darmanitan-G. Mandibuzz also acts as a good partner as it lures in opposing Darmanitan-G while beating slower defensive threats that Darmanitan-G struggles with, like Steelix and Corsola-G.

Endure is the crux of this set, as it allows Darmanitan-G to reliably activate Zen Mode and its Salac Berry, giving it massive boosts in Speed and Attack, to state the obvious it also adds another typing so you should include that somewhere notably allowing it to consistently beat Gorilla Tactics other Darmanitan-G variants, Choice Scarf Hydreigon why not specs?, and Haxorus. Icicle Crash and Flare Blitz are Darmanitan-G's strongest STAB options and hit threats such as Haxorus, Goodra, Hydreigon, and Dragapult, and Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Jirachi i might be wrong, but isn't this a 50/50 between using trick versus iron head turn one? respectively. The two moves also provide good neutral coverage, as the combination of them is only resisted by Fire- and Water-types, many of which Choiced Darmanitan-G struggles with anyway. The last move has a couple of different options: Encore can shut down stall like Curse Mimikyu, Jirachi, Galarian Corsola, and physically defensive Corviknight.

[Notater]

Mostly implemented; I also had to remove all of the mentions of Jirachi which is 90% of the reason to run this. IIRC AMGPs don't go into the credits but I might be wrong; if so, I'll add that.
