- Acid Armor
- Skill Swap

NPCs : winning without NPC assistance requires good RNG on megahorn either missing or not critting during setup. Using acid armor, the best support is Gardevoir's Life Dew. Replacing acid armor with rest, a counter to swords dance can work, such as staraptor, tauros, arcanine, toxapex, or sylveon.

Strategy :
00:47 T1: Skill Swap
02:00 T2: Wait for your stats to reset. Optional Defense Cheer. Acid Armor.
02:35 T3-T4: 2x Tail Glow
03:13 T5-T7: 3x Tera Blast
04:13 T8-T10: Terastalize, Tera Blast until your stats reset again
05:18 T11: Acid Armor
05:38 T12-T13: 2x Tail Glow
06:15 T14+: Tera Blast

Pros: supereffective tera type, great HP stat, excellent special attack and defense stats, outspeeds before samurott uses bulldoze. no weaknesses, resists aqua cutter before terastalizing, resists megahorn after terastalizing, immune to drill run after terastalizing, shell bell heals when attacking, an amount equal to 1/8th of damage dealt, tail glow buffs special attack 3 stages. acid armor buffs defense 2 stages, skill swap removes shell armor from samurott and gives it to manaphy, tera blast has 80 base power, 100 accuracy, and deals supereffective STAB damage when terastalized.

Cons: tera type mismatches base type, outsped after samurott uses bulldoze, takes a lot of damage from megahorn before terastalizing, lacks reliable healing during setup.
