Bisharp's extra bulk provided by Eviolite allows it to lure in unsuspecting checks to the non-Eviolite Bisharp set such as Ogerpon-H and Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and setup on them with Swords Dance or KO them outright. Furthermore, its Steel-typing is incredibly valuable as it allows it to take Fairy-type attacks for its teammates while also hitting Fairy-types very hard with its own Steel-type STAB. Defiant allows Bisharp to fulfill its role as a Defog dissuader and also punish the use of Sticky Web from the likes of Galvantula and Araquanid. Throat Chop serves as Bisharp's primary Dark-type STAB move of choice and when paired with Swords Dance deals great damage to bulkier threats like Raging Bolt. Sucker Punch allows Bisharp to KO fast Pokemon like Dragapult, Hoopa-U, and Choice item Spectrier while Iron Head removes Fairy-types like Primarina and Hatterene. 80 HP and 20 Defense EVs allows Bisharp to get 3HKOd by Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel, and survive an Earthquake from non-Choice Band Mamoswine. 176 Speed EVs allows Bisharp to speed creep Moltres, Articuno, Archaludon, and Azumarill while also surviving Azumarill's boosted Aqua Jet thanks to the bulk granted by Eviolite.
Bisharp appreciates Spikes setters like Ting-Lu and Hisuian Samurott as the chip damage caused by Spikes allows Bisharp to break through bulkier targets like Archaludon and Hippowdon easier. Both Spikes setters also help Bisharp break through the aforementioned walls by wearing them down with Ruination and Sacred Sword respectively. Strong special attackers like Greninja and Darkrai help Bisharp by breaking down strong physical walls like Skarmory and defensive Great Tusk while also using their high Speed and Psychic-type coverage to remove Fighting-types like Iron Valiant and Keldeo. Sableye acts as a good defensive switch into Fighting-type attacks and also spreads burns to physical Fighting-type attackers like Sneasler and Iron Hands. Sableye also utilizes Encore to disrupt opposing setup attempts granting Bisharp the ability to switch in. Sableye also crucially can burn Skarmory, which allows Bisharp to not get KO'd from its Body Press. Meowscarada can use its Protean-boosted Triple Axel or Play Rough to check speedy threats Like Roaring Moon while also breaking through bulkier Pokemon like Great Tusk and Swampert. Mandibuzz acts as a great support for Bisharp with its part Flying typing allowing it to take Fighting and Ground-type attacks easily while using Defog to remove hazards and U-turn to get it safely onto the field. Alolan Muk acts as a good special attack sponge that can take hits from Enamorus and Kyurem while using Knock Off to remove items like Choice Specs, allowing Bisharp to handle them better with its improved Eviolite-boosted bulk.
