Wacan Berry Togekiss aims to lure prevalent Electric-type Pokemon, mainly Zeraora, Magnezone, and Dracozolt. The ability Serene Grace enables Togekiss to have a 60% flinch rate, which will stop slower Pokemon from making a move. Thunder Wave allows Togekiss to slow down faster Pokemon like Porygon-Z, and Arcanine, and increase the chance to flinch/paralyze slower Pokemon like Primarina or Azumarill to 70%. Besides Air Slash, Thunder Wave and Counter, the fourth move is up to choice, with Fire Blast for Magnezone, Roost for a more reliable Primarina or Porygon-Z matchup, or Encore for stall Pokemon such as stall Kyurem, Corsola-Galar, Chansey, Slowbro, and Snorlax. The EVs allow Togekiss to tank a 252 SpA Hyper Beam from Choice Scarf Porygon-Z and outspeed max speed Magnezone.

To beat Magnezone, simply Air Slash 2 times, and then it is free to be hit with Fire Blast. If you miss one of the Air Slashes or the Magnezone doesn't get flinched, you can still Air Slash again because of the resistance berry. Against Porygon-Z and Primarina, it is slightly more optimal to spam roost until a paralysis/miss in order to avoid Porygon-Z not flinching or getting into Primarina’s Torrent range. Since Togekiss struggles to beat other special electric Pokémon such as the Rotom forms as well as Galarian Darmanitan, Choice Scarf Haxorus is a good partner. If you would rather take care of stall Pokémon like Corsola-Galar or Porygon2, you could make your Haxorus Haban Berry with Taunt or use Curse Dragapult. Alternative movesets on stall Togekiss include Encore over Fire Blast to beat slower stall Pokemon or Amnesia + Rest to beat Primarina more reliably.
