Strategy Overview
-
Baxcalibur's massive Attack stat, solid bulk, and STAB Ice-type moves allow it to apply immediate offensive pressure or set up to sweep. Landorus, Raging Bolt, Rillaboom, and Amoonguss fear its Ice-type STAB moves, and Incineroar and Ogerpon-W struggle to damage Baxcalibur, which opens up setup opportunities.
-
Incineroar, Rillaboom, Ogerpon-W, and Amoonguss are great teammates for Baxcalibur, providing Intimidate, Fake Out, Grassy Terrain, and redirection support to give it opportunities to set up Swords Dance and fire off its attacks. Baxcalibur also functions well on Pelipper + Archaludon rain teams, as it threatens Raging Bolt, Amoonguss, Landorus, and Rillaboom, all of which rain struggles against.
-
Steel-types like Kingambit and Gholdengo resist Baxcalibur's STAB attacks, which can hinder its ability to sweep or punch holes. In addition, the prevalence of Flutter Mane, Urshifu-R, and Urshifu-S can pressure it to Terastallize. Baxcalibur's low Speed can also make it struggle to keep up with offensive pressure from the opposing side.
