[SET COMMENTS]
Baxcalibur is a powerful sweeper, especially with the support of Snow and Aurora Veil. Thermal Exchange makes Baxcalibur immune to being burned, taking what is normally a huge weakness for physical attackers off the table. Earthquake is valuable to cover Steel and Fire types that otherwise pose a fair bit of danger, such as Solgaleo and Kingambit. Alternatively, Ice Shard finishes off low health targets and surprises faster Pokémon, which is very beneficial due to Baxcalibur's relatively low Speed. Tera Ground powers up Earthquake as well as makes Baxcalibur immune to Thunder Wave and blocking Volt Switch, which is very useful. Alolan Ninetales is a fantastic teammate with its ability Snow Warning, as Snow and Aurora Veil increase Baxcalibur's bulk to very high levels. Other good teammates are ones that can cover problems Fighting, Steel, or Fairy types, so Zacian, Mewtwo, Chi-Yu, and Solgaleo are notably appreciated. Some Pokémon like Kingambit and Arceus-Poison that are vulnerable to Ground Type attacks appreciate having Baxcalibur around to snuff them out.
