[OVERVIEW]
Alcremie is a defensive Fairy-type that can check strong Fighting-types such as Sawk and Gallade. Alcremie has some advantages over the other Fairy-types in the tier, distinguishing itself from Aromatisse with its combination of Calm Mind + Recover and from Ribombee with its better bulk and pure Fairy typing. Alcremie also learns Mystical Fire, which allows it to threaten Steel-types such as Doublade more effectively than its competition. Additionally, Alcremie's ability Aroma Veil makes it particularly difficult to stop after one or two Calm Mind boosts, as it can't be afflicted by Taunt or Encore from the likes of Jellicent and Whimsicott. However, Ribombee is usually a better choice due to its much higher Speed, while Aromatisse is bulkier overall.

Calm Mind makes Alcremie a threatening sweeper, as it becomes difficult to KO after a boost. Alternatively, Mystical Fire gives Alcremie more of an immediate offensive presence, as it can punish switches into common Steel-type Pokemon such as Ferroseed and Doublade. Aromatherapy makes it difficult to stop Calm Mind Alcremie with status moves such as Toxic, and provides team support on Mystical Fire sets. Alternatively, Acid Armor can be run alongside Calm Mind, allowing Alcremie to set up on both physical attackers such as Gallade and weak special attackers such as Jellicent. However, this makes Alcremie vulnerable to status, so a similar set with Rest and Stored Power instead of Recover and Dazzling Gleam can be run instead. The valuable Aromatherapy support Alcremie provides makes defensive teammates that dislike status such as Tangela and Jellicent good partners. Alcremie's Aromatherapy also pairs well with Pokemon that regularly run Rest, such as Wishiwashi. Alternatively, it can allow some Pokemon, such as Gigalith and Ferroseed, to run Rest when they otherwise wouldn't. Alcremie also appreciates teammates that can handle powerful Posion- and Steel-type Pokemon such as Qwilfish and Silvally-Steel, which makes Doublade and Quagsire good partners.
