Nasty Plot Calyrex-S is an astounding, self-sufficient wallbreaker and sweeper that outspeeds all non-Choice Scarf Pokemon, has the potential to snowball out of control, and fits on a variety of teams. Grass Knot 3HKOes Ting-Lu and provides good neutral coverage against foes such as Arceus and Arceus-Dark. Encore punishes Extreme Killer Arceus and Calm Mind Arceus formes for using a Normal-type or status move, while Psyshock hits Pokemon like Eternatus, Clodsire, and Tera Poison Ting-Lu. Tera Blast is a more niche option for the fourth moveslot that OHKOes Pokemon like Arceus and Wo-Chien at +2 with Tera Fighting. Heavy-Duty Boots lets Calyrex-S repeatedly switch in and fire off attacks, likely allowing it to outlast its checks. At +2, Tera Grass-boosted Grass Knot OHKOes Arceus after slight chip damage and OHKOes Ting-Lu; Tera Grass also allows Calyrex-S to take attacks like Arceus's Shadow Claw, Ting-Lu's Payback, and Arceus-Ground's Earthquake. Tera Ghost lets Astral Barrage achieve feats such as OHKOing Koraidon with a layer of Spikes, OHKOing Zacian-C after Rocky Helmet damage from a teammate, OHKOing defensive Arceus formes at +2, and 3HKOing Terastallized Ting-Lu. All Koraidon sets threaten Ting-Lu and Arceus, the primary switch-ins to Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Koraidon can use U-turn to safely pivot Calyrex-S in against Pokemon like Skeledirge, while Scale Shot Koraidon appreciates Encore Calyrex-S taking advantage of Arceus aiming to revenge kill it with Extreme Speed. Calyrex-S pairs well with checks to Arceus and Choice Scarf Koraidon, such as Landorus-T, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. It also appreciates Ting-Lu checking other Choice Scarf users such as Miraidon and opposing Calyrex-S; moreover, Ting-Lu, like Landorus-T, can trade entry hazards with opposing Ting-Lu that switch into Calyrex-S. Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Calm Mind Arceus-Ground can weaken Ting-Lu for each other, potentially enabling one of them to sweep.

Nasty Plot Calyrex-S is an astounding self-sufficient wallbreaker and sweeper that outspeeds all non-Choice Scarf Pokemon, and has the potential to snowball out of control, and fits on a variety of teams. Grass Knot 3HKOes Ting-Lu and provides good neutral coverage against foes such as Arceus and Arceus-Dark. Encore punishes Extreme Killer Arceus and Calm Mind Arceus formes for using Normal-type and status moves try mentioning the invaluable utility encore provides, while Psyshock hits Pokemon like Eternatus, Clodsire, and Tera Poison Ting-Lu. Tera Blast is a more niche option for the fourth moveslot that OHKOes Pokemon like Arceus and Wo-Chien at +2 with Tera Fighting. bit unsure about mentioning tera fighting, so imo we could avoid this. Heavy-Duty Boots lets Calyrex-S repeatedly switch in and fire off attacks, likely allowing it to outlast its checks. At +2, Tera Grass-boosted Grass Knot OHKOes Ting-Lu and deals significant damage to Arceus; 2HKOes Arceus Tera Grass also allows Calyrex-S to take attacks like Arceus's Shadow Claw and Ting-Lu's Payback I believe let's also mention DD groundceus' EQ .Tera Ghost lets Astral Barrage achieve feats such as OHKOing Koraidon and Zacian-C after some chip damage, OHKOing defensive Arceus formes at +2, and 3HKOing it's actually a 2HKO Terastallized Ting-Lu. All Koraidon sounds a bit vague, could specify. threaten Ting-Lu and Arceus, the primary switch-ins to Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Koraidon can use U-turn to safely pivot Calyrex-S in against Pokemon like Skeledirge and Toxapex, while Scale Shot Koraidon mention Extreme Killer and Zacian-C as teammate options. appreciate Encore Calyrex-S taking advantage of Arceus aiming to revenge kill them with Extreme Speed. Calyrex-S appreciates checks to Arceus and Choice Scarf Koraidon, such as Landorus-T, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. It also appreciates Ting-Lu checking other Choice Scarf users such as Miraidon and opposing Calyrex-S; moreover, Ting-Lu, like Landorus-T, can trade entry hazards with opposing Ting-Lu that switch into Calyrex-S. Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Calm Mind Arceus-Ground can weaken Ting-Lu for each other, potentially enabling one of them to sweep. not a big fan of how the last few sentences are worded, you could try re-wording them to something which is more easy to comprehend.

Tera Ghost lets Astral Barrage achieve feats such as OHKOing Koraidon and Zacian-C after some chip damage if this is similar to a single spike or smth, i'd just list that, OHKOing defensive Arceus formes at +2, and 3HKOing Terastallized Ting-Lu.

(i think this point would benefit from an introduction like 'calyrex-s pairs well with koraidon' or whatever you want because it goes pretty abruptly from teras to teammates without being super clear on that) Calyrex-S appreciates checks to Arceus and Choice Scarf Koraidon, such as Landorus-T, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. It also appreciates Ting-Lu checking other Choice Scarf users such as Miraidon and opposing Calyrex-S; moreover, Ting-Lu, like Landorus-T, can trade entry hazards with opposing Ting-Lu that switch into Calyrex-S.
