This is a team that requires good prediction and decision-making to pilot well. Hisuian Goodra plays the long game, and can sometimes work as a Pokemon that can checkmate teams that have run out of ways to damage it. Careful use of Grimmsnarl's Screens and cycling Landorus' Intimidate can help spell victory for this team.

Ice Spinner
・ Sacred Sword ・ Sucker Punch ・ Protect |
A standard Chien-Pao Build improves the damage potential of all of the physical attackers on the team, with Chien-Pao included.
Chien-Pao is a great Pokemon to have in the back, switching in to boost a teammate's physical attack, or late-game to clear out low-HP Pokemon.
When using Chien-Pao, it is important to be careful of when you use Ice Spinner, as it may remove Grimmsnarl's Misty Terrain.
Chien-Pao Movesets and Best Builds
| Nature | Careful (+Def, -Sp. Atk) |
|---|---|
| EV Spread | 252 HP / 116 Def / 140 Sp. Def |
| Final Stat Values | 202 HP / 140 Atk / 100 Def / 124 Sp. Def / 80 Spe |

Misty Terrain
・ Light Screen ・ Reflect ・ Spirit Break |
Grimmsnarl comes with its Dual Screens, but this build also makes use of Misty Terrain to protect the team from status conditions. This is especially useful for protecting the team from Will-O-Wisp burns, and Amoonguss's Spore.

| Nature | Careful (+Def, -Sp. Atk) |
|---|---|
| EV Spread | 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Sp. Def |

| Ability | Sap Sipper |
| Tera Type |
|
| Held Item | Leftovers |
| Moveset | ・
Body Press
・ Heavy Slam ・ Shelter ・ Life Dew |
Hisuian Goodra is very difficult to KO for teams that have run out of ways to damage it for super-effective. This build makes use of Sap Sipper instead of Shell Armor, as it does not particularly mind Surging Strikes when in Tera Water. Tera Water and Sap Sipper also limits Hisuian Goodra's weaknesses to just one, being Electric.
Shelter has natural synergy with Body Press, improving its damage output the higher Hisuian Goodra's Defense goes. Heavy Slam can take out Fairy-types like Flutter Mane.
Life Dew gives Hisuian Goodra a reliable means of recovery.

Stomping Tantrum

Scarf Landorus is always a good choice for your team if you need a strong Pokemon with Intimidate. This Pokemon can appear late-game and clean up low HP Pokemon, or it can cycle in and out, and reduce the effectiveness of your opponent's physical attackers.
With Choice Scarf, Landorus is able to outspeed unboosted Iron Bundle and everything slower.

Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style

Grimmsnarl and Landorus can set up for a Hisuian Goodra endgame, with Screens and Intimidate support. Additionally, Landorus and Urshifu's strong offense are strong enough to take out threats to Hisuian Goodra, making way for a checkmate situation later in the game.

Grimmsnarl

Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style
|
Landorus (Therian Forme)

Grimmsnarl can help Galarian Moltres survive enough hits to get a Berserk boost thanks to dual screens. Urshifu and Landorus make another appearance in this team composition, as strong offensive teammates that complement Galarian Moltres's offense.

Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style

Landorus (Therian Forme)
Tera Type:

Urshifu and Landorus can both Terastallize offensively to give their STAB moves an extra boost. Both of these Pokemon are strong offensive Tera options in a match.

Because the team is more geared towards defense, four of the six Pokemon in this team have defensive Tera Types.
Chien-Pao's Ghost Tera can protect it from Fake Out and Extreme Speed. Grimmsnarl's Steel Tera protects it from Fairy and Poison-type damage. Hisuian Goodra limits its weaknesses to just one: Electric. And Galarian Moltres gains a resistance to Fairy with its Poison Tera.

Chien-Pao

 Dragonite

 Pelipper

 Basculegion (Male)
Swift Swim |
Hyper Offense may give this defensive team a tough time, as the matchup demands good decision-making and prediction.
It is also difficult to outspeed Swift Swim Pokemon in Rain and withstand their offense.
