After Zacian's ban, Necrozma-DM has found more room for different sets. One of its most popular sets is a specially defensive one, utilizing its rare Steel typing and bulk to check threats such as Xerneas and defensive Eternatus. What separates this set from others is Iron Head, which boasts more PP than Sunsteel Strike and synergizes well with Thunder Wave to paraflinch foes. Swords Dance is an option over Stealth Rock to turn Necrozma-DM into a late-game sweeper. The Speed EVs allow it to outspeed a paralyzed Calyrex-S. Since Necrozma-DM is weak to Dark- and Ghost-types such as Yveltal and Marshadow, defensive partners such as Xerneas and Yveltal are greatly appreciated. Xerneas also provides cleric support, while Yveltal can safely bring in Necrozma-DM with U-turn. Necrozma-DM also appreciates partners that can deal with defensive Kyogre such as Blissey and Ferrothorn. Choice Specs Calyrex-S appreciates shared checks such as Yveltal being worn down by Iron Head, and it can take away Yveltal's Heavy-Duty Boots with Trick, making it vulnerable to Stealth Rock.
