Archaludon

Archaludon can utilize its above-average bulk, solid Special Attack stat, and great Ability in Stamina to check and OHKO threats such as Urshifu-R, Incineroar, and Raging Bolt.

Archaludon's access to Stamina and Body Press combined with its resistances and great physical bulk make it an amazing check to Pokemon such as Rillaboom and the Ogerpon formes and also allow it to act as a wincon.

Archaludon appreciates teammates like Amoonguss and Sinistcha that provide it with recovery through Pollen Puff and Hospitality, as well as Rage Powder for redirection. Rillaboom provides Fake Out support, as well as passive healing through Grassy Terrain and priority with Grassy Glide that discourages the opponent from leading with Urshifu-R. Dual screens from Grimmsnarl and damage reduction from Incineroar's Intimidate or Snarl are also useful for keeping Archaludon alive to stack Stamina or Electro Shot stat increases.

Archaludon fits well on rain teams thanks to its Grass and Electric resistances. It appreciates teammates such as Pelipper that can check opposing Ground- and Fighting-types like Landorus and both Urshifu formes; Pelipper's rain support also allows Electro Shot to charge in one turn, OHKOing Urshifu-R and Tornadus. Archaludon also functions well on Trick Room teams due to many of its checks being faster than it, such as both Urshifu formes, Landorus, and Chien-Pao running Sacred Sword. Farigiraf pairs notably well with Archaludon on Trick Room teams due to the protection from priority it provides and its access to Psychic Noise, which disables Iron Hands's Drain Punch.
