BSS Calyrex-S

[chemcoop]

Calyrex-Shadow @ Eject Pack
Ability: As One (Spectrier)
Level: 50
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Astral Barrage
- Psyshock
- Leaf Storm
- Nasty Plot

Calyrex-S returns to the Series 11 metagame using a new tech to surprise its best counter, the ever-popular Tyranitar. The Eject Pack allows Calyrex to set up Nasty Plot as the Tyranitar (or another bulky Dark-type) switches in, then hit it hard with a +2 Leaf Storm and pivot out before the opponent can land an attack. After this interaction, the opponent's Pokemon will be too low to check Calyrex-S, and the horse can break through the opponent's team the next time it gets a chance to set up. Psyshock is preferred over Psychic to hit Chansey and Blissey on their much lower physical Defense stat. In order for Calyrex to sweep, it needs Dark-types like Tyranitar, Urshifu-S, and Yveltal KOed. Tyranitar is a good blanket check to the Dark- and Ghost- type attacks Calyrex is threatened by and is most notably one of the best Yveltal checks in the metagame. Tapu Fini is also an excellent check to Urshifu-S and opposing Tyranitar. Hippowdon and Dracovish also form a popular core with Calyrex thanks to Hippowdon's ability to set Stealth Rock and shrug off attacks from Tyranitar and Urshifu-S, while Dracovish applies strong offensive pressure with Fishious Rend.

Tagging Theorymon, Psynergy, greilmercenary9 for a QC check

I think it's worth mentioning Tyranitar as a teammate, mostly because I think you should specifically mention a teammate that can help against Yveltal, whose a very common pick at the moment. There are technically other Pokemon you can use that are shakier like say, bulky Sylveon, but Tyranitar is the easy obvious recommendation, especially when its a good switch-in to a lot of ghost / dark stuff in general. Major exception is obviously Urshifu, so maybe a quick mention of bulky Fairy-types (mainly Tapu Fini, though it does have greater issues agianst Yveltal than the uncommon Sylveon lol) is still good to bring up just for that, even if they can leave something to be desired against Yveltal. You might as well mention that Hippo does well vs some Urshifu too I guess.

Otherwise, this looks fine to me, QC Approved!
