IRON VALIANT IS INSANE ON LADDER | 2026 VGC REG J
Howdy Ho, YouTube! Today, I am using the second team in a row from Akerubii. This team is unique with Cosmic Power Arceus. Let's take a look.
That's right, it's Cosmic Power Arceus. The move is used in conjunction with Body Press and Stored Power, both of which get stronger with each boost. It's partnered with Focus Sash Calyrex Shadow Rider, one of my personal favorite Pokémon. However, the "tech" move on this set is Pollen Puff to deal with Psychic types and heal up Arceus.
Sinistcha is also on the team to give passive recovery, lower physical damage with Strength Sap, and potentially burn with Matcha Gotcha. Incineroar serves a similar role using Intimidate, but this set features Assault Vest to be more offensive. Booster Energy Iron Valiant provides Wide Guard and Feint Support. Finally, Life Orb Raging Bolt deals an unholy amount of damage.
