Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

Its Lead · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples White Kyurem(#5) · Palkia (Origin)(#6) · Ho-Oh(#12), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Psychic · resists Fire · Water · Electric · Grass · Ghost · Dark, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is doubly weak to Fairy · is weak to Ice · Fighting · Bug · Dragon, so watch out for those attackers.
High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
It's notably unfavored into Xerneas (usage rank #4), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
