This Sword of Justice is making large waves in UU! Keldeo is a powerful wallbreaker with its Choice Specs set, muscling past common staples like Hippowdon, Chansey, and Skarmory with its powerful STAB move combination. Furthermore, it has an excellent Speed tier, pressuring the likes of Zarude, Thundurus-T, and Nihilego, and also has the benefit of resisting Bullet Punch from Scizor. Scald is used for reliable damage on the likes of Moltres and Excadrill without risking a Hydro Pump miss. Icy Wind OHKOes Salamence and hits Grass-types like Tangrowth and Amoonguss super effectively, though Air Slash is an alternative option for more significant damage against the aformentioned Grass-types. Keldeo best fits on bulky offense and VoltTurn teams that give it many entry opportunities to fire off attacks. Scizor is a phenomenal partner, pressuring switch-ins to Keldeo like Slowking and Assault Vest Tangrowth while also luring in Moltres and Rotom-H for Keldeo. Nihilego helps set Stealth Rock to wear down Assault Vest Tangrowth and can check Salamence. SubToxic Aegislash appreciates Keldeo handling Zarude and Chansey and can wear down Primarina and Amoonguss for it.
