Choice Scarf Chi-Yu is a potent revenge killer and a strong wallbreaker with good resistances, allowing it to check threats like Chien-Pao, Gholdengo, and Kingambit while also threatening balance and bulky offensive teams. Overheat is its strongest STAB move, which allows it to OHKO the bulkiest Pokemon like Blissey and Ting-Lu especially when boosted by Tera Fire and sun. Dark Pulse lets it pressure Fire-resistant foes like Miraidon, Toxapex, Pelipper, Alomomola, and Garganacl more easily. Fire Blast is a stronger option than Flamethrower that doesn't drop Special Attack, which lets Chi-Yu break through Garganacl and Blissey after minimal chip damage when boosted by sun and Tera Fire. Alternatively, Psychic may be used to deal greater damage to Toxapex and Koraidon. Tera Fire is mandatory to boost Chi-Yu's strength and let it spam its Fire-type moves more freely. Choice Scarf Chi-Yu is unreliable at breaking stall teams, so it is necessary to pair it with wallbreakers that perform this role such as Choice Band Chien-Pao, offensive Great Tusk, Gothitelle, and Swords Dance + Life Orb Koraidon. Koraidon in particular is mandatory to have as a teammate, as it sets sun, which makes up for the power lost by opting for Choice Scarf on Chi-Yu. Additionally, it also creates many opportunities for Chi-Yu to switch in safely thanks to U-turn and Chi-Yu's ability to exploit common Koraidon checks. Defensive partners like Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Clodsire, and Toxapex can set and remove entry hazards for Chi-Yu, allowing it to freely switch in multiple times and break teams more easily, and they also check strong revenge killers like Choice Scarf Koraidon, Miraidon, and Quark Drive-boosted Iron Bundle.
