* With use of a Choice Scarf, Cresselia can make use of the additional Speed and ability to disrupt Pokemon with Trick.
* Cresselia outspeeds and uses Psychic to threaten to 2HKO on Pokemon like Annihilape, Iron Moth, and Urshifu-R.
* Moonblast lets Cresselia to deal with Haxorus and less bulky variants of Urshifu-S.
* Trick allows Cresselia to lock foes into a non-damaging move, such as Manaphy, Espathra, Clear Amulet Zapdos, and Serperior.
* Moonlight allows Cresselia to heal itself in matchups where it can lock foes into a weaker attacking move, such as against Weakness Policy Iron Crown.
* The defensive EVs allow Cresselia to survive two Choice Band Haxorus Outrages and two non-Choice Specs Volcanion Steam Eruptions with burn chip damage. The Speed EVs allow Cresselia to outpace Iron Moth with a Choice Scarf and Hisuian Goodra after a Trick, and the rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack.
* Choice Scarf Cresselia is a great way to surprise players expecting Clear Amulet Cresselia, but without Reflect,it could struggle versus strong physical attackers like Ursaluna and Haxorus, so teammates like Corviknight and Urshifu-S are great partners.
* Cresselia will inevitably lose against Dark-types like Meowscarada, Chien-Pao, and Galarian Moltres, so Fairy-type and Steel-type teammates like Alolan Ninetales and Heatran can cover these weaknesses.
