[SET COMMENTS]
RegenVest Mega Steelix is a strong slow pivot and soft check to many Pokemon such as Take Heart Arceus formes and Flutter Mane. Gigaton Hammer threatens frail attackers like Mega Alakazam, as well as preventing Ice Scales Arceus Fairy from setting up even if it has Strength Sap. Mortal Spin can force chip damage on foes and remove entry hazards; however, Mega Steelix isn't a reliable enough remover to make itself the sole hazard removal on a team. Stone Axe supports Mega Steelix's offensive teammates with hazards, substantially helping Pokemon like Ultra Necrozma and Palkia-O deal with softer checks. Salt Cure is the strongest option for Imposter users, which otherwise safely exploit Mega Steelix for Regenerator recovery if their items aren't necessary, and it forces chip damage on foes Mortal Spin can't such as Take Heart Arceus formes. Mega Steelix cannot wall most threats long term, so backup checks to things like Flutter Mane such as Ice Scales Mega Audino are helpful. Imposter-proof Mega Steelix with Knock Off absorbers like Arceus-Ghost and Dialga-O.
