Baxcalibur @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Thermal Exchange

Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Icicle Spear
- Earthquake

Baxcalibur lives up to its namesake Excalibur by running a very fearsome Swords Dance set, striking fear into its foes! Scale Shot and Icicle Spear combined with Loaded Dice and a Swords Dance boost allow Baxcalibur to deal with a myriad of foes such as Quagsire and Corviknight. Scale Shot's +1 Speed boost also allows it to quickly outspeed and threaten normally faster threats like Sneasler and Iron Treads. Earthquake grants Baxcalibur coverage against walls it normally would struggle with, such as Toxapex and Heatran. Alolan Ninetales is perhaps Baxcalibur's strongest teammate, being able to set up snow to boost its teammates' Defense as well as Aurora Veil, thus improving significantly Baxcalibur's survivability, while also threatening Pelipper and Iron Defense Corviknight with Freeze-Dry and Encore, respectively. Alolan Sandslash can remove hazards with Rapid Spin while being able to threaten Hatterene and opposing Ghost-types. Chien-Pao is another strong teammate, being able to resist Kingambit's Sucker Punch while threatening it back with Sacred Sword, and it also threatens Air Balloon Gholdengo. Mamoswine is able to set up Stealth Rock to wear down incoming foes like Toxapex into OHKO range.

Baxcalibur lives up to its namesake Excalibur by running a very fearsome Swords Dance set, striking fear into its foes! Scale Shot and Icicle Spear combined with Loaded Dice and a Swords Dance boost allow Baxcalibur to deal with a myriad of foes such as Dragonite, Galarian Weezing, and Sableye (Loaded dice lets it break to corv and quag with Icicle Spear, something Icicle Crash wouldnt. These two are more valuable targets). Baxcalibur also gains a Speed boost when using Scale Shot, allowing it to quickly outspeed and threaten normally faster threats like Zamazenta, Choice Specs Flutter Mane (specs FM is a fairy thing, for most part. Maybe outspeeding sneasler and Iron Treads [not choice scarf, ground matchup] would help. Chait notably did that), and Ogrepon-H. Earthquake grants Baxcalibur coverage against walls it normally would struggle with, such as Toxapex and Heatran. Alolan Ninetales is perhaps Baxcalibur's strongest teammate, being able to set up Snow to boost its teammates Defense, as well as Aurora Veil to further boost both physical and special Defense, thus improving significantly Baxcalibur's survivability. Alolan Ninetales is also able to threaten Pelipper with Freeze Dry, thus weakening Water teams' offensive prowess (it also messes with ID Corv, one of the "bax checks" because encore). Alolan Sandslash can remove hazards with Rapid Spin, while being able to threaten Hatterene; and it also threatens opposing Ghost-types. Chien-Pao is another strong teammate, being able to resist Kingambit's Sucker Punch while threatening it back with Sacred Sword (deals with Air Balloon Ghold which hard walls, or at worst, trade with this set. Reduce Alolan Ninetales sentences, then add Mamoswine, as SR helps it hit benchmarks like outright OHKOing Pex). See the dragon in action in this Fall Seasonal match!: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-1946732503-oy73pi8rfmx2g0bi2dlk2hhib6kgriopw
