Choice Specs Calyrex-S is an incredibly effective wallbreaker with limited defensive counterplay and immense versatility. Trick cripples Calyrex-S's common switch-ins, Ting-Lu and Arceus, and forces Arceus to lock into Shadow Claw. Grass Knot offers good neutral coverage and the ability to hit the omnipresent Ting-Lu. Psyshock is preferred over Psychic because it hits Calm Mind Arceus formes harder, whereas Psychic always 2HKOes Arceus. Tera Ghost boosts Astral Barrage's damage to horrific levels, making it capable of OHKOing defensive Arceus formes after minor chip damage, and the lessened Ghost- and Dark-type weaknesses let Calyrex-S live Arceus's Shadow Claw and Arceus-Dark's Foul Play. Tera Grass instead boosts Grass Knot to be on par with Astral Barrage; it easily 2HKOes Arceus and Arceus-Dark and OHKOes Ting-Lu with two layers of Spikes. Calyrex-S's self sufficiency as a wallbreaker and tendency to overwhelm its checks make it very easy to fit on a variety of teams. Offensive teams appreciate its massive power and the utility provided from it outspeeding and OHKOing most offensive threats and can provide it ample opportunities with U-turn from Pokemon like Landorus-T and Koraidon. Balance teams appreciate its self-sufficient nature while providing it with refuge from revenge killers, like Choice Scarf Koraidon and Giratina-O, with Pokemon like Toxapex and defensive Arceus formes. Koraidon is a great partner that threatens Ting-Lu and Arceus—which would otherwise deter Calyrex-S from using Astral Barrage—and can use U-turn to safely pivot Calyrex-S in against its own counters that Calyrex-S terrifies, like Skeledirge and Toxapex. Miraidon and Calm Mind Arceus-Ground appreciate Calyrex-S beating down Ting-Lu with repeated attacks, making them incredibly difficult for most teams to handle.

Trick cripples Ting-Lu and Arceus, common switch-ins, its common switch-ins, Ting-Lu and Arceus, and can force boosted Arceus to lock into Shadow Claw. Grass Knot is Calyrex-S's preferred coverage for its good overall neutral coverage and ability to hit the omnipresent Ting-Lu. Psyshock is preferred over Psychic because it hits Calm Mind Arceus formes harder after several boosts, whereas Psychic has better chances to 2HKO Arceus. Tera Ghost boosts Astral Barrage's damage to horrific levels, capable of OHKOing defensive Arceus formes after minor chip, and the lessened Ghost- and Dark-type weakness lets Calyrex-S live Arceus's Shadow Claw and Arceus-Dark's Foul Play. Tera Grass instead boosts Grass Knot to be on par with Astral Barrage; it easily 2HKOes Arceus and Arceus-Dark, and OHKOes Ting-Lu with Spikes.
