Inteleon has a niche in RU as a wallbreaker and a fast pivot; however, it struggles to find opportunities to come into the battlefield. Inteleon also faces competition from other offensive Water-type Pokemon such as Barraskewda, Sharpedo, and Cloyster, which have greater Speed or sweeping capabilities. Ice Beam enables Inteleon to catch Grass-type switch-ins like Zarude, Roserade, and Vileplume while also hitting Pokemon like Noivern super effectively. Dark Pulse lets Inteleon potentially flinch through Pokemon that are resistant or immune to Water, such as Gastrodon and Milotic. Dark Pulse also can 2HKO Volcanion with minimal chip damage while hitting other targets super effectively such as Metagross, Reuniclus, and Chandelure without having to worry about missing with Hydro Pump. U-turn provides momentum while also chipping Pokemon like Raikou and Zarude, putting them in range of Hydro Pump and Ice Beam. Inteleon can run Snipe Shot with the ability Torrent, since it never misses while having a high chance to get a critical hit, but this reduces its wallbreaking potential. The 28 Special Defense EVs ensure that Inteleon is never OHKOed by Draco Meteor from Noivern and the Speed EVs are to outrun Salazzle.
Inteleon fails to break through many bulky Water-types in the RU like Milotic and Suicune; countermeasures are Grass- and Electric-types like Zarude and Toxtricity. Incineroar, Toxic Metagross, and Toxic Darmanitan are also helpful teammates, since they can wear down Water-type switch-ins, which gives Inteleon more breathing room as a wallbreaker. Spikes support from the likes of Roserade, Golisopod, and Klefki is helpful, since Spikes cripples Inteleon's common switch-ins such as Milotic and Gastrodon; Golisopod also can use Knock Off to remove valuable items like Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots from Inteleon's switch-ins like Milotic, Gastrodon, and Suicune. Togekiss and Flygon threaten Choice Scarf users such as Zarude, Xurkitree, and Mienshao. Choice Scarf Flygon also serves as a good Electric-type check because of its Ground typing and forms a great pivot core with Inteleon. Raikou can threaten bulky Water-types with Volt Switch and use Toxic to cripple Gastrodon and Seismitoad for Inteleon. In return, Inteleon can weaken Grass-types like Roserade and Celebi for Raikou. Strong physical attackers like Swords Dance Cobalion, Darmanitan, and Heracross are helpful to threaten special walls like Umbreon, Registeel, and Porygon2.
