With the release of the Teal Mask DLC, many returning Pokemon find a solid presence in Ubers; one of them is Gliscor, which courtesy of its stat distribution and Poison Heal ability can check Pokemon like Eternatus, take on some Calm Mind Arceus formes, and even survive an unboosted Draco Meteor from Miraidon. These traits give Gliscor room on offensive and defensive teams alike as a pivot, annoyer with Toxic and Protect, and even entry hazard setter with Spikes. Following Gliscor is the team's offensive core, featuring Choice Scarf Koraidon, Swords Dance Extreme Killer, Zacian-C, and Choice Specs Miraidon. Koraidon is the main form of speed control of the team, being able to pivot in and out of the field with U-turn, making use of its Speed stat and over-the-top offensive prowess, with Tera Steel helping Koraidon against opposing EKiller's Extreme Speed and giving it a resistance to both of Zacian-C's STAB moves. Koraidon pairs perfectly with Zacian-C and EKiller, both of which share checks with it and can wear them down together. EKiller helps the team both defensively and offensively. Defensively, it checks threats like Flutter Mane thanks to its superb bulk while avoiding Sticky Web with its Heavy-Duty Boots; offensively, it checks very threatening Pokemon to the team like weakened Zacian-C, Koraidon, and Miraidon with Extreme Speed while shutting down defensive walls and Pokemon that otherwise check it like Skeledirge with Taunt and Shadow Claw. Zacian-C is one of the two breakers of the team and another way of speed control, utilizing its coverage and setup move in Swords Dance to break through even the bulkiest of Pokemon like Toxapex. Miraidon is the main breaker of the team, utilizing its Choice Specs to maximum potential, annihilating the physical walls that annoy its team. Lastly, Toxapex rounds the defensive core of the team, giving a much-needed check to physical threats like Koraidon and Zacian-C while also absorbing Toxic Spikes and scouting moves with Baneful Bunker.
