[SET COMMENTS]

Thunder Wave is Giratina-O's best option for punishing Ho-Oh and Arceus-Fairy, while Will-O-Wisp is a stronger option against Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, and Ting-Lu. Giratina-O's access to Defog gives it a unique niche on bulky offense and balance teams that can sufficiently pressure Ting-Lu. The given EV spread lets Giratina-O survive Shadow Claw from both Life Orb Arceus and Heavy-Duty Boots Tera Ghost Arceus after a Swords Dance and Stealth Rock damage while outspeeding uninvested Gliscor. Tera Steel lets Giratina-O stonewall Gliscor and Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM, pivot into Arceus-Fairy more easily, and take on Scale Shot Koraidon and Miraidon. Tera Poison is an alternative that still punishes Gliscor and Arceus-Fairy without giving Giratina-O a weakness to Low Kick and Flare Blitz from Koraidon and Close Combat from Zacian-C.

Giratina-O pairs well with teams that appreciate its ability to both check Arceus-Ground, Necrozma-DM, and Extreme Killer Arceus and keep entry hazards off the field against Spikes stacking teams. Arceus-Fairy and Gliscor are strong partners for their ability to punish Ting-Lu while pivoting around Koraidon and Miraidon, respectively. Necrozma-DM is a great partner to pressure Ho-Oh with Knock Off, Stone Edge, or boosted Photon Geyser. This is appreciated, since Ho-Oh can pivot into Giratina-O and entirely wall Will-O-Wisp variants while also checking Arceus-Fairy. Teammates that use Choice items such as Choice Scarf Koraidon, Choice Specs Miraidon, Choice Specs Kyogre, Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and Choice Band Chien-Pao appreciate Giratina-O removing hazards from the field, letting them not take hazard damage when they switch in and thus giving them more opportunities against bulkier teams that can annoy Giratina-O. Other teammates that appreciate Defog include Calm Mind Kyogre with Leftovers, Draco Plate Miraidon, and defensive Arceus formes. Miraidon is an especially notable partner for forcing progress on Ting-Lu while pivoting around Ho-Oh, letting Giratina-O win the hazard war in the long run. Ting-Lu and Gliscor pair well with Giratina-O by checking Miraidon and complementing Giratina-O's ability to spread status with additional hazard damage.

Giratina-O's access to Defog gives it a unique niche on bulky offense and balance teams that can sufficiently pressure Ting-Lu. Dragon Tail is an alternate option to be able to force out Tera Fire Extreme Killer Arceus and rack up entry hazard damage on Ting-Lu.is this really necessary? when tinglu takes a lot from Draco and arc dislikes everything; needs to tera too like you saidThe given EV spread lets Giratina-O survive both Life Orb Arceus' Shadow Claw and Tera Ghost Arceus' Shadow Claw after a Swords Dance and Stealth Rock damagemaybe say that you're talking about boots arc here, while outspeeding uninvesting Gliscor. Tera Steel lets Giratina-O stonewall Gliscor and pivot into Arceus-Fairy more easily, while also letting Giratina-O take on Scale Shot Koraidon and Miraidon. Tera Poison is an alternative that still punishes Gliscor and Arceus-Fairy without giving Giratina-O a weakness to Low Kick and Flare Blitz from Koraidon and Close Combat from Zacian-C.

Giratina-O pairs well with teams that appreciate its ability to both check Arceus-Ground, Necrozma-DM, and Extreme Killer Arceus, while keeping hazards off the field against spikestack builds. Arceus-Fairy and Gliscor are strong partners for for their ability to punish Ting-Lu, while pivoting around Koraidon and Miraidonrespectively. Necrozma-DM is a great partner to pressure Ho-Ohmaybe mention with knock or photon/stone edge, who can pivot into Giratina-O and entirely wall Will-O-Wisp variants, while checking Arceus-Fairy. Choiced teammates such as Choice Scarf Koraidon, Choice Specs Miraidon, Choice Specs Kyogre, and Choice Band Chien-Pao appreciate Giratina-O removing hazards from the field, giving them more entries against bulkier teams that can annoy Giratina-Onon boots mons like leftovers ogre are also good. mention them. Miraidon is an especially notable partner for forcing progress on Ting-Lu while pivoting around Ho-Oh, letting Giratina-O win the hazard war in the long run. Spike setters such as Ting-Lu and Gliscor pair well with Giratina-O by checking Miraidon and complementing Giratina-O's status spam with additional hazard damage.

Necrozma-DM is a great partner to pressure Ho-Oh thanks to its access to Knock Off.
