Strategy Overview
Once regarded as one of the best walls in the game, Cresselia has fallen far from its throne. It is the bulkiest mixed wall in the series bar Lugia and Giratina, but is hampered by its mono-Psychic typing. However, not all is lost, for the swan of the northern lights has returned to UU once more to let its presence be known. With a vast support movepool consisting of dual screens, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Trick Room, and of course, its signature move, Lunar Dance, Cresselia can easily flutter its way onto any team. Colossal bulk, as well as a fantastic ability in Levitate, allows Cresselia to reach for the moon, shutting down many prominent UU attackers. However, not all bodes well for Cresselia, for UU is a hostile environment, consisting of many powerful Dark- and Bug-types that keep this majestic figure in shackles.
