Thanks to Solgaleo's amazing bulk, good Special Attack stat, and fantastic movepool, it sets itself apart as an excellent setup sweeper and tank. Psyshock helps it deal with Calm Mind users such as Arceus formes and Blissey and hits foes like Eternatus, Ho-Oh, and Urshifu-R harder, but Flash Cannon can be used instead to have better outs against foes like Garganacl, Altarianite Dragonite, and Lunala. Flamethrower can be used to deal with Steel-types like Corviknight, Magearna, and opposing Solgaleo, whereas Thunderbolt hits Hisuian Samurott, Mandibuzz, and Urshifu-R harder while still hitting Corviknight for super effective damage and Magearna and Solgaleo for neutral damage. Latiasite can be used to mitigate Solgaleo's weakness to Ground, helping it deal with foes such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Earthquake Iron Boulder and Dragonite. Alternatively, Venusaurite can be used to remove Solgaleo's weakness to Fire, allowing it to deal with threats like Hisuian Arcanine and Ho-Oh. Solgaleo is a great glue on bulky offense and balance teams, being capable of switching into and taking down foes like Eternatus, -ate Speed users, and Arceus formes depending on its set, helping common partners like Urshifu-R, Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt. However, Solgaleo cannot check Ground- and Fire-types simultaneously. It is also prone to being revenge killed by Dark-types such as Hisuian Samurott, Weavile, Chien-Pao, and Kingambit and Ghost-types like Lunala and Spectrier. Therefore, it appreciates teammates such as Arceus-Water, Arceus-Ground, and Eternatus when using Latiasite sets; Urshifu-R, Arceus-Water, and Corviknight when using Venusaurite sets; -ate Speed users like Hisuian Arcanine, Dragonite, and Regieleki for dealing with Dark-types; and the aforementioned Dark-types themselves for dealing with Lunala.

Thanks to its amazing bulk, good Special Attack stat, and access to a fantastic movepool, Solgaleo sets itself apart as an excellent setup sweeper and tank. Latiasite can be used to mitigate Solgaleo's weakness to Ground, helping it deal with foes such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Earthquake Iron Boulder. Alternatively, Venusaurite can be used to remove Solgaleo's weakness to Fire, allowing it to deal with threats like non-Earthquake Gouging Fire tc fblitz is still stronger and wins iirc so id use a different example, Hisuian Arcanine, and Ho-Oh, though it sacrifices the Ground immunity. Psyshock helps it deal with Calm Mind users such as the Arceus formes and Blissey and hits foes like Eternatus, Ho-Oh, and Urshifu-R harder, but Flash Cannon can be used instead to have better outs against foes like Garganacl, Altarianite Dragonite, and Lunala. Flamethrower can be used to deal with Steel-types like Corviknight, Magearna, and opposing Solgaleo, whereas Thunderbolt can be used to hit Hisuian Samurott might be worth adding urshrs here since iirc it does more than psyshock while still hitting Corviknight for super effective damage as well as Magearna and Solgaleo for neutral damage. Solgaleo is a great glue on bulky offense and balance teams, capable of switching into and taking down foes like Eternatus, -ate Speed users, and Arceus formes depending on the set, helping common partners like Urshifu-R, Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt. However, Solgaleo can only check one type of threat at a time, either Ground or Fire, but not both simultaneously. It is also prone to being revenge killed by Dark-types such as Hisuian Samurott, Weavile, Chien Pao Chien-Pao, and Kingambit and Ghost-types like Lunala. Therefore, teammates such as Arceus-Water, Arceus-Ground, and Eternatus for Latiasite sets;, (RS, AC) Urshifu-R, Chien Pao, and Weavile for Venusaurite sets;, (RS, AC) -ate Speed users like Hisuian Arcanine, Dragonite, and Regieleki for Dark-types;, (RS, AC) and the aforementioned Dark-types themselves for Lunala are appreciated.

Thanks to its amazing bulk, good Special Attack stat, and access to a fantastic movepool, Solgaleo sets itself apart as an excellent setup sweeper and tank. Latiasite can be used to mitigate Solgaleo's weakness to Ground, helping it deal with foes such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Earthquake Iron Boulder and Dragonite. Alternatively, Venusaurite can be instead used to remove Solgaleo's weakness to Fire, allowing it to deal with threats like Hisuian Arcanine and Ho-Oh, though it sacrifices the Ground immunity. Just changing the wording since running either stone is sacrificing something: running Latiasite sacrifices your MU versus Fire-types for example Psyshock helps it deal with Calm Mind users such as the Arceus formes and Blissey and hits foes like Eternatus, Ho-Oh, and Urshifu-R harder, but Flash Cannon can be used instead to have better outs against foes like Garganacl, Altarianite Dragonite, and Lunala. Flamethrower can be used to deal with Steel-types like Corviknight, Magearna, and opposing Solgaleo, whereas Thunderbolt can be used to hit Hisuian Samurott, Mandibuzz, and Urshifu-R harder while still hitting Corviknight for super effective damage as well as Magearna and Solgaleo for neutral damage.

It is also prone to being revenge killed by Dark-types such as Hisuian Samurott, Weavile, Chien-Pao, and Kingambit and Ghost-types like Lunala and Spectrier. Therefore, teammates such as Arceus-Water, Arceus-Ground, and Eternatus for Latiasite sets; Urshifu-R, Chien Pao, and Weavile for Venusaurite sets Personally think that defensive teammates reads better here, since you're looking for teammates that cover up your Ground-type weakness; -ate Speed users like Hisuian Arcanine, Dragonite, and Regieleki for Dark-types; and the aforementioned Dark-types themselves for Lunala are appreciated.

Latiasite can be used to mitigate Solgaleo's weakness to Ground, helping it deal with foes such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Earthquake Iron Boulder and Dragonite.

Flamethrower can be used to deal with Steel-types like Corviknight, Magearna, and opposing Solgaleo, whereas Thunderbolt can be used to hit hits Hisuian Samurott, Mandibuzz, and Urshifu-R harder while still hitting Corviknight for super effective damage as well as and Magearna and Solgaleo for neutral damage. Latiasite can be used to mitigate Solgaleo's weakness to Ground, helping it deal with foes such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Earthquake Iron Boulder and Dragonite. Alternatively, Venusaurite can be used to remove Solgaleo's weakness to Fire, allowing it to deal with threats like Hisuian Arcanine and Ho-Oh. (items are typically mentioned after moves) Solgaleo is a great glue on bulky offense and balance teams, being capable of switching into and taking down foes like Eternatus, -ate Speed users, and Arceus formes depending on the its (or put "their" if you mean the Arceus formes' sets rather than Solgaleo's set) set, helping common partners like Urshifu-R, Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt. However, Solgaleo can only check one type of threat at a time, either Ground or Fire, but not both cannot check Ground- and Fire-types simultaneously. It is also prone to being revenge killed by Dark-types such as Hisuian Samurott, Weavile, Chien-Pao, and Kingambit and Ghost-types like Lunala and Spectrier. Therefore, it appreciates teammates such as Arceus-Water, Arceus-Ground, and Eternatus for when using Latiasite sets; Urshifu-R, Arceus-Water, and Corviknight for when using Venusaurite sets; -ate Speed users like Hisuian Arcanine, Dragonite, and Regieleki for dealing with Dark-types; and the aforementioned Dark-types themselves for dealing with Lunala are appreciated.
