Riding onto the stage is Calyrex-S, the top dog (or rather, horse) in the Ubers metagame! Choice Scarf Calyrex-S is a phenomenal set, taking advantage of its high Speed tier to check Sticky Web teams as well as threatening sweepers like Dragon Dance Zekrom. Its dual STAB moves hit a majority of the tier for neutral coverage, with Psyshock hitting Blissey harder than anything else. Trick cripples a predicted switch-in such as defensive Yveltal or Zarude. Aromatherapy provides cleric support with or without Choice Scarf, while Nasty Plot makes Calyrex-S more immediately threatening after locking Yveltal into Roost with Trick. As Calyrex-S dislikes the presence of opposing Dark-types like Yveltal or Tyranitar, Pokemon that can wear them down such as Eternatus are appreciated. In return, Calyrex-S can threaten specially defensive Necrozma-DM. Defoggers such as Yveltal and Ho-Oh ensure that Sticky Web remains off the field so Calyrex-S can revenge kill threats such as Rock Polish Groudon and Geomancy Xerneas. Pokemon that can bait in Ho-Oh such as Rock Tomb Marshadow are solid partners, as Calyrex-S struggles to beat Ho-Oh without support.
