Shed Tail, Regenerator, and good Speed give Cyclizar a unique role on offensive teams: safely bringing in powerful attackers like Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Dragonite multiple times per battle. Draco Meteor KOes opposing Dragapult and Cyclizar and picks off weakened foes. U-turn lets Cyclizar pivot out without self-damage, healing from Regenerator to potentially use Shed Tail again later. Rapid Spin and/or Knock Off provide further utility. Choice Scarf + Shed Tail is preferred against Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle, Dragapult, and other fast threats, but Heavy-Duty Boots can be used to avoid entry hazard damage and the Choice lock. On Choice Scarf sets, 24 Special Attack EVs are enough to OHKO Dragapult with Draco Meteor. Cyclizar benefits greatly from a strong physical wall or Dazzling user to deal with priority attackers like Dragonite; strong attackers like Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant are valuable for dealing with phazers like Iron Hands and Hippowdon, or a Good as Gold user like Skeledirge or Gholdengo can block phazing moves outright.
