[SET COMMENTS]

Baxcalibur serves as a potent Dragon Dance sweeper with powerful STAB moves, threatening to OHKO the majority of the metagame at +1. Loaded Dice + Icicle Spear allows Baxcalibur to function well into builds that utilize Shed Tail to get in frail Pokemon such as Dragapult and Mega Medicham. Icicle Crash with Heavy-Duty Boots to flinch through potential checks such as Skarmory and Corviknight is a good alternative. Earthquake hits Steel-types such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Gholdengo, while also hitting defensive staples such as Skeledirge, Garganacl, and Toxapex. Thermal Exchange lets Baxcalibur avoid Will-O-Wisp from Pokemon like Rotom-W and Skeledirge, and it dissuades the use of moves such as Volcarona's Flamethrower and Heatran's Magma Storm, as well as coverage from Choice-locked Pokemon like Dragapult and Walking Wake. Tera Steel lets Baxcalibur avoid Toxic while also denying Choice Scarf Tapu Lele from revenge killing it and allowing setup in front of Choice Specs Dragapult. Tera Dragon powers up Baxcalibur's Glaive Rush to lethal levels, while Earthquake boosted by Tera Ground lets Baxcalibur OHKO the aforementioned Kingambit, Garganacl, and more often that not Toxapex at +1, avoiding Iron Head, Salt Cure, and Haze, respectively. Baxcalibur functions well on offensive teams that provide Shed Tail support from Cyclizar and dual screens support, letting it set up freely in front of Pokemon like Rotom-W and Slowbro. Baxcalibur's ability to rip holes in Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Toxapex-reliant cores greatly benefits teammates like Tapu Lele, Weavile, and Urshifu-R, which can quickly snowball late-game. Baxcalibur also appreciates Steel-types like the aforementioned Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Gholdengo, as they check Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Gholdengo in particular checks Iron Valiant, which revenge kills Baxcalibur with Quark Drive. Landorus-T pivots out on Pokemon such as Rotom-W, giving Baxcalibur an opportunity to setup while also checking threatening Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Mega Lopunny. Baxcalibur appreciates entry hazard removal for Loaded Dice sets to maximize its solid natural bulk, so teammates such as Great Tusk, Tornadus-T, and Rotom-W are appreciated. Skarmory, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn are particularly annoying for Baxcalibur, so teammates such as Mega Lopunny, Great Tusk, and Tapu Lele who assist in chipping them down are appreciated.

Baxcalibur serves as a potent Dragon Dance sweeper with access to two powerful STAB options in Glaive Rush and a Loaded Dice bolstered Icicle Spear that can quickly threaten OHKOs on a majority of the metagame at +1. With Thermal Exchange, Baxcalibur can avoid Will-O-Wisp from Pokemon like Rotom-W and Skeledirge doesnt skele just use bax as a field day unless its tera dragon, as well as giving it an Attack boost from attacks like Volcarona's Flamethrower and Skeledirge's Torch Song. mention icicle crash and icicle spear, contrast the two but do it like
icicle crash can give bax a nifty flinch chance with icicle spear w/ loaded dice gives it a very threatening stab move to click Earthquake allows Baxcalibur to hit common Steel-type Pokemon such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Gholdengo, while also hitting defensive staples such as Skeledirge, Garganacl, and Toxapex. Tera Blast with Tera Fire allows Baxcalibur to OHKO would-be checks such as Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor looking to switch-in. Baxcalibur, although not a premier user this mon is quite good with tera cannot lie, can effectively utilize Tera reword this sentence too. mention tera ice powering up ice stab tera steel giving u tox immunity and improving mus against mons like lele and dragapult and tera dragon just making glaive the win move The previously mentioned Tera Fire lets Baxcalibur beat Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, while Earthquake boosted by Tera Ground lets Baxcalibur OHKO Pokemon like Kingambit, Garganacl, and more often that not Toxapex at +1. The given EV spread maximizes power while letting Baxcalibur outspeed pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gholdengo and Dragapult after a Dragon Dance. Baxcalibur's ability to rip holes in Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Skeledirge read above mention abt skele greatly benefits teammates like Tapu Lele, Cinderace, and Volcarona this could also change when u change the mon u mention over skele who can quickly snowball you only snowball in volcs case, would you not just say enable them to wreak havoc or something along those lines? once their checks are weakened. Baxcalibur, however, also enjoys Ferrothorn or Heatran alongside it to check the common Choice Scarf Tapu Lele looking to halt its sweep. Gholdengo can also be used to check Tapu Lele, while also stopping Iron Valiant in Electric Terrain from revenge killing Baxcalibur. Baxcalibur also appriciates Steel-types like the aforementioned Ferrothorn and Heatran, along with Gholdengo. Gholdengo in particular can be used to check Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Zamazenta, while also stopping Iron Valiant with a Quark Drive activation from revenge killing Baxcalibur. Landorus-T is a particularly incredible teammate of Baxcalibur, as it invites in pokemon such as Rotom-W and can U-turn out on it, giving Baxcalibur an opportunity to setup while also checking threatening Fighting-types Baxcalibur struggles to setup in front of like Zamazenta and Mega Lopunny. mention hazard removal here, and maybe include a section that lists pokemon that bax generally is not fond of and teammates that support it

Alternatively, Icicle Crash can be used to flinch through potential checks such as Skarmory and Corviknight, and also providing solid Ice STAB on sets that opt for Heavy-Duty Boots over Loaded Dice. Earthquake allows Baxcalibur to hit common Steel-type Pokemon such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Gholdengo, while also hitting defensive staples such as Skeledirge, Garganacl, and Toxapex. Tera Blast with Tera Fire allows Baxcalibur to OHKO would-be checks such as Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor looking to switch-in. Baxcalibur can effectively utilize various Tera typings, such as Tera Steel letting you avoid Toxic while denying Choice Scarf Tapu Lele from being able to revenge kill you and Tera Fairy allowing setup in front of Choice Specs Dragapult. Tera Ice and Dragon power up Baxcalibur's STABs to lethal levels and the previously mentioned Tera Fire lets Baxcalibur beat Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, (redundant because this was previously mentioned) while Earthquake boosted by Tera Ground lets Baxcalibur OHKO Pokemon like Kingambit, Garganacl, and more often that not Toxapex at +1. (If possible, drop a line here or after the following sentence on the team compositions that Bax generally fits on/the type of teams that it can take advantage of and use that to segue into the later sections) Baxcalibur's ability to rip holes in Pokemon like Ferrothorn and break cores that overrely rely on Toxapex for physical attackers greatly benefits teammates like Tapu Lele, Weavile, and Urshifu-R who can quickly snowball once their checks are weakened or eliminated. Baxcalibur also appreiciates appreciates Steel-types like the aforementioned Ferrothorn and Heatran, along with Gholdengo (why does it appreciate steel types? add on here or borrow from the sentence on Gholdengo, or consolidate the two sentences). Gholdengo in particular can be used to check Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Zamazenta, while also stopping speed boosted Iron Valiant with a Quark Drive activation from revenge killing Baxcalibur. Landorus-T is a particularly incredible teammate of Baxcalibur, as it invites in Pokemon such as Rotom-W and can U-turn out on it, giving Baxcalibur an opportunity to setup while also checking threatening Fighting-types Baxcalibur struggles to setup in front of like Zamazenta and Mega Lopunny. Baxcalibur appreciates hazard removal for Loaded Dice sets to maximize its solid natural bulk so teammates such as Great Tusk, Tornadus-T, and Rotom-W are appreciated. Baxcalibur dislikes fast-paced builds that do not let it set up safely, although offensive builds that rely on Rotom-W defensively can be quickly snowballed by Baxcalibur (think you can add on here about how Icicle Spear can also threaten against Shed Tail/Substitute supported offenses). Defensively, Tera Fairy Skeledirge and Skarmory give Baxcalibur problems as it either gets outscaled or completely walled, although the former has to waste valuable Recover PP attempting to outlast Baxcalibur and is forced to consume the Tera slot.

(if you wanna keep the last sentence, provide teammates that help with them.)

i think some of the info here at the end needs to be reorganized within the analysis (or we can end up removing some); you don't need to go too in depth bc this is a mini after all, moves and teammates to cover weaknesses / bad matchups etc are just enough. lmk if there are issues with what i removed and ill be happy to shorten it and move it somewhere else.
