Marshadow @ Spell Tag / Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spectral Thief
- Low Kick
- Shadow Sneak
- Bulk Up

Though small in size and cute in appearance, Marshadow is a terrifying breaker. Spectral Thief importantly steals boosts from Groudon, Zygarde, and Calm Mind Kyogre, and it is better than Poltergeist in order to hit Pokemon that use consumable items like Xerneas and Eternatus. Low Kick demolishes almost every Uber, as they are naturally very heavy, often making Low Kick the same power as Close Combat without its drawbacks. Shadow Sneak picks off weakened targets and importantly threatens Calyrex-S and, to a lesser extent, opposing Marshadow. Bulk Up, combined with Spell Tag or Life Orb, makes Marshadow insanely dangerous, as it forces out Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Necrozma-DM lacking Thunder Wave. Spell Tag is preferred for its lack of recoil, but Life Orb's power can be devastating. Marshadow performs best with other breakers like Rayquaza and Choice Specs Kyogre that help overwhelm Xerneas, Landorus-T, Eternatus, and Zygarde. Spikes from Ferrothorn makes breaking far easier, and Marshadow appreciates it switching into defensive Xerneas.

Here's a replay of Marshadow cleaning up a team after a Bulk Up in Ubers Seasonal:

and the ability to not be walled by Pokemon using consumable items like Eternatus is very useful.
and xern

threatening Calyrex-S.
i guess you could also mention marshadow ? but its a bit of a weird situation since same mon, so speedtie etc etc

Marshadow succeeds best with other breakers that help to overwhelm Xerneas, Eternatus, and Zygarde
also lando-t, and maybe buzzwole ? idk if he's relevant enough

otherwise this seems good, im not sure about the usefulness of mentioning poltergeist at the start since it isnt anywhere in the set but i guess casual players still think marsh runs poltergeist so its okay

QC 1/1

1/1, some of my changes were angled at reducing the character count
