Ability: As One (Spectrier)

Calyrex-S is a very prominent figure in Anything Goes with its overwhelming speed and offensive capabilities. Calyrex-S's Speed stat skyrockets with Choice Scarf, making it faster than Choice Scarf Koraidon, and +1 Scale Shot Koraidon with Choice Scarf. Psychic lets Calyrex-S OHKO threats like Koraidon while also letting it deal good damage to Arceus. Grass Knot lets Calyrex-S threaten defensive checks like Ting-Lu while also dealing significant damage to Arceus-Ground and Kyogre. Trick helps cripple Pokemon that normally check Calyrex-S such as Ting-Lu, Ho-Oh, and Arceus. Calyrex-S can Tera Ghost to boost Astral Barrage's damage, allowing it to 2HKO Ho-Oh and pick off weakened foes like Miraidon and Terastallized Necrozma-DM more easily. Arceus-Water is a great partner for Calyrex-S as it serves as a defensive check to Ho-Oh and Arceus. Offensive partners like Zacian-C and Koraidon are appreciated as they’re able to threaten Arceus and Ting-Lu and wear down Ho-Oh. Similarly, Miraidon and Necrozma-DM are also great offensive partners that can put pressure on the aforementioned threats.

Calyrex-S is the most a very (probably debatable) prominent figure in Anything Goes with its overwhelming speed and offensive capabilities. Calyrex-S's Speed stat skyrockets with Choice Scarf, making it more faster than the likes of Koraidon and Miraidon than it already was. (notably, it can revenge kill other Calyrex-S, Choice Scarf Koraidon, and +1 Scale Shot Koraidon with Choice Scarf. just mentioning Pokemon it outsped already isn't too useful) Astral Barrage is its strongest STAB move dealing great neutral damage and shredding through majority of the metagame. (just saying it's a strong STAB move isn't too useful, and STAB moves are quite self-explanatory anyway) Additionally, Calyrex-S can Tera Ghost to further increase Astral Barrage's damage, allowing it to 2HKO Ho-Oh. (move the Tera sentence to after the move explanations. you could also mention how it picks off weakened foes like Miraidon and [Terastallized] Necrozma-DM more easily) Psychic lets Calyrex-S OHKO threats like Koraidon while also letting it deal good damage to Arceus. Grass Knot lets Calyrex-S threaten defensive checks like Ting-Lu while also dealing significant damage to Arceus-Ground and Kyogre. Trick helps cripple Pokemon that normally check Calyrex-S such as Ting-Lu and Ho-Oh. (and Arceus) Calyrex-S appreciates hazard setters like Ting-Lu and Eternatus as they help Calyrex-S secure KOs once its foe's health is lowered. (if this spotlight ends up being too long, you can probably remove this sentence, as pretty much all offensive Pokemon appreciate hazards) Arceus-Water is a great partner for Calyrex-S as it serves as a defensive check to Ho-Oh and Arceus while also being able to threaten them back. (already implied by the fact it checks them) Pokemon like Arceus, Arceus-Dark, and Ho-Oh are also beneficial partners for Calyrex-S as they can safely switch-in on Astral Barrage from opposing Calyrex-S. (I don't think this is useful enough to be mentioned given you outspeed non-Choice Scarf Calyrex-S) (you should mention Pokemon that threaten/wear down Calyrex-S's checks. for example, Koraidon [which can notably afford to run Scale Shot instead of Choice Scarf when paired with Choice Scarf Calyrex-S] and Zacian-C threaten Ting-Lu and Arceus and wear down Ho-Oh; Miraidon can wear down Ting-Lu and threaten Ho-Oh; and Necrozma-DM wears down Ting-Lu and Ho-Oh)

Added the changes and took out hazard partner mention along with added additional info I didn’t have previously. Looks good to me but if you wanna look at it again to double check ^ that would be cool.
