Basculegion

Male Basculegion pairs with Cloud Nine Altaria to threaten Charizard Y matchups safely: with weather negated, Wave Crash and Aqua Jet hit at full power without the sun-based penalty. Adaptability and Mystic Water stack into a devastating water-type damage multiplier. Adamant nature with the jump-point at 18 Attack SP maximizes output without a Choice Scarf, preserving flexibility. The 29 Defense SP lets it survive Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch from Kingambit. Speed investment outspeeds standard Altaria by one point to avoid speed ties. Heliolisk's Dry Skin immunity to Basculegion's water moves creates a useful Ally Switch mind game.
