Strategy Overview

Solgaleo's unique combination of Teleport and Future Sight coupled with its Steel typing gives it a defined role in Ubers as a defensive Steel-type that Magnezone cannot trap. Its decent bulk allows it to check both Xerneas and Eternatus. Unfortunately, Solgaleo is almost entirely outclassed by Necrozma-DM and other Steel-types like Ferrothorn, both offensively and defensively. Solgaleo has a niche on defensive teams for its ability to use Teleport to pivot against Magnezone, making it not lose to Xerneas teams with Magnezone, and it partners well with Kyogre and Marshadow thanks to Future Sight helping them break through their checks, most notably Eternatus.
