Strategy Overview
Cresselia is one of the most important defensive Pokemon of Battle Spot Singles, with an impressive amount of bulk and a good support movepool to take advantage of it. However, it has a severe lack of offensive presence, making it easy to set up on if Cresselia is unable to effectively cripple the threat. While Cresselia has a higher Special Defense stat, it has a harder time taking on special attackers, since many common ones like Aegislash hit it super effectively. This means Cresselia must sacrifice its physical bulk to take on special attackers more easily, making it difficult to check the physical threats like Mega Salamence that Cresselia is much more adapt at checking.
Below is a sample set. This set is likely to be the standard, but it will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
