Choice Scarf Basculegion-F is a strong option for speed control thanks to its powerful Adaptability-boosted attacks and good defensive typing. Its bulk and resistances offer it many opportunities to enter the field against common Pokemon like Slowbro, Jirachi, and Galarian Weezing. Choice Scarf enables Basculegion-F to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, including Jolly Barraskewda and Talonflame. Ice Beam is important to hit the Dragon- and Grass-types that resist Basculegion-F's STAB attacks like Cyclizar and Bulletproof Chesnaught. Flip Turn allows Basculegion-F to pivot out against special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon while still dealing respectable damage thanks to Adaptability. It is not recommended to Terastallize Basculegion-F, as the damage boost is minimal, and Adaptability will no longer apply to its old typings. For this reason, it uses either Tera Ghost or Water, and it should be Terastallized primarily for the defensive benefits. Tera Ghost means that Basculegion is no longer weak to Electric- and Grass-type attacks from Thundurus, Hisuian Goodra, and Amoonguss, while Tera Water sheds the vulnerability to Sucker Punch from Bisharp and Shadow Sneak from Mimikyu.

Choice Scarf Basculegion-F is most comfortable on bulky offense teams that appreciate its speed control while also making use of its defensive qualities to serve as a pivot. Since it is expected to enter the field multiple times, entry hazard removal options such as Cyclizar and Galarian Weezing are valuable allies, with Cyclizar being able to survive Electric- and Grass-type attacks from Thundurus and Amoonguss, while Galarian Weezing can tank physical attacks from faster Choice Scarf users like Krookodile and Galarian Zapdos. Basculegion-F can form a VoltTurn core with teammates like Mienshao and Slither Wing that want to attack the special walls like Umbreon and Hisuian Goodra that answer Basculegion-F. Other bulkier Fighting-types like Chesnaught and Okidogi are also excellent teammates for Basculegion-F, as they can take Knock Off from Pokemon like Crawdaunt and Krookodile while threatening the Dark- and Normal-types that can switch into Shadow Ball such as Umbreon and Cyclizar. As Basculegion-F often needs help breaking through bulky Water- and Grass-types like Empoleon, Gastrodon, and Wo-Chien, other special attackers like Armarouge and Thundurus have the power and coverage to create holes in the opposing team for Basculegion-F to exploit. Hazards set by Pokemon such as Krookodile, Chesnaught, and Mew can weaken checks into KO range of Basculegion-F's attacks and rack up extended damage as it forces switches and pivots out.
