Copperajah functions as an incredibly strong attacker supported by Trick Room to make up for its lackluster Speed. Its ability in Heavy Metal boosts moves such as Heavy Slam, its main attacking move, and Heat Crash, which provides coverage against Pokemon such as Ferrothorn. Power Whip is another great coverage move, as it threatens Pokemon like Rotom-W, Hippowdon, and Gastrodon from coming in for free. Lastly, Earthquake gives Copperajah a reliable way to hit Toxapex, which would otherwise threaten it with Scald burns and take any of the other 3 attacks very easily. Stone Edge is also an option to hit Rotom-H. Life Orb gives Copperajah an added boost to its damage and the flexibility to utilize its coverage moves to its fullest, unlike another item such as Choice Band. A Brave nature along with 0 Speed IVs makes Copperajah as slow as possible while maintaining its offensive prowess. The given spread maximizes Copperajah's power while allowing it to take as many hits as possible. Sheer Force is an option to use over Heavy Metal when paired with moves such as Iron Head and Zen Headbutt, using them over Heavy Slam and Earthquake, respectively. Rock Slide is also an option on Sheer Force sets, as it allows it to hit Rotom-H.
Copperajah also functions really well when partnered with Trick Room Pokemon such as Hatterene and Jellicent. Runerigus is also a superb option, as it not only can set up Trick Room, but it also gets access to other utility moves such as Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, and Memento.

Copperajah can also function as a nice Stealth Rock setter as well, as it has a pretty good matchup versus entry hazard removers such as Corviknight and Mandibuzz, as they usually can't do much back to it. Unlike the Trick Room sweeper set, this set would need more support, as it lacks Power Whip to be able to effectively break through Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Hippowdon. Nevertheless, the coverage between its three attacking moves is still really good, as not only does it do well against common Defoggers, it also beats Ferrothorn with Heat Crash and pressures Toxapex with Earthquake. While not recommended over any of Copperajah's coverage moves, Power Whip is still an option to be able to hit bulky Ground-type Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Gastrodon, and Quagsire. The EV spread maximizes Copperajah's bulk and offensive potential while also outspeeding Toxapex.
Because this set lacks Grass-type coverage from Power Whip, it struggles with Hippowdon and Gastrodon. A Pokemon that is able to break through the two like Gyarados makes a great partner. Gyarados also appreciates the entry hazard support Copperajah provides in setting up Stealth Rock. Reuniclus is another partner that pairs really well with Copperajah because of its ability to overwhelm Dark-types such as Mandibuzz.
