Celesteela @ Power Herb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Autotomize
- Meteor Beam
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower

Celesteela has been soaring high in the OU metagame recently, and it's not hard to see why! Its amazing defensive typing and bulk give it multiple setup opportunities against prominent threats such as Landorus-T, Kartana, and Tapu Lele, making it a potent late-game sweeper. Meteor Beam threatens Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, Volcarona, and Zapdos while boosting Special Attack, allowing Celesteela to snowball quickly with Beast Boost Special Attack boosts and Autotomize. Flamethrower allows Celesteela to either KO or dent the likes of Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Magnezone, which can block its STAB Air Slash. Nihilego is a great partner for Celesteela, as it can help overload Heatran and check nuisances like Zapdos and Tapu Koko for it, while Celesteela can take advantage of Pokemon Nihilego struggles with such as Garchomp, Kartana, and Melmetal. Additionally, Pokemon like Weavile and Kartana can wear down and cripple troublesome foes like Galarian Slowking and Heatran.

Celesteela has been soaring high in the sky in the OU metagame recently and it's not hard to see why. Its amazing defensive typing and bulk gives it multiple setup opportunities against prominent threats such as Landorus-T, Kartana, and Tapu Lele, making it a potent late-game sweeper. Autotomize lets it outspeed the entire unboosted metagame. This works very well in tandem with Meteor Beam, which threatens Pokemon in the tier such as Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, Volcarona, and Zapdos with either heavy damage or an KO while also having its Special Attack boosted, allowing Celesteela to snowball quickly. Flamethrower allows Celesteela to either KO or dent the likes of Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Magnezone which block its STAB-boosted Air Slash. Nihilego is a great partner for Celesteela, as it can help overload Heatran and check nuisances like Zapdos and Tapu Koko for it, while Celesteela can take advantage of Pokemon Nihilego struggles with, such as Garchomp, Kartana, and Melmetal and threaten them with its coverage. Additionally, Pokemon that can help wear down and cripple Pokemon like Slowking-Galar and Heatran make for good teammates. As such, Pokemon like Weavile and Kartana are valuable teammates.
this is fantastic, 1/1
