* Life Orb allows Flutter Mane to become an impressive wallbreaker and sweeper thanks to its strong neutral coverage and extremely fast Speed backed by Protosynthesis.
* Calm Mind can ease prediction on switches without having Life Orb recoil, and it gives Flutter Mane the strength to clean up teams much more easily.
* Taunt allows Flutter Mane to take advantage of its huge Speed stat to become an effective anti-lead against Pokemon such as Ribombee and Meowscarada, which are too fast for Taunt Arceus to handle. It can also be useful in a pinch to prevent dangerous setup sweepers such as Calm Mind Arceus formes from boosting.
* Substitute can take advantage of predicted switches, and it gives Flutter Mane a useful option against Sucker Punch Kingambit, although the HP loss can quickly add up with Life Orb recoil. Its most notable use is to scout for enemy Tera types.
* Mystical Fire nails Steel-types like Zacian-C and Corviknight, which otherwise wall Flutter Mane. Mystical Fire notably has a chance to OHKO Zacian-C at +1 in the sun.
* Psyshock obliterates Clodsire, which otherwise walls this set. Additionally, it comes in handy against Calm Mind Arceus formes that may Terastallize into the Poison typing to resist a predicted Moonblast.
* Tera Fairy powers up Flutter Mane's strongest attack in Moonblast, letting it OHKO Ting-Lu after a Calm Mind.
* Koraidon is a near necessity as a teammate, setting the sun to activate Protosynthesis. Choice Scarf Koraidon in particular is a great teammate, as it can bring Flutter Mane in easily on common switch-ins such as Skeledirge and Landorus-T. Koraidon also helps break down shared checks such as Arceus formes and Kyogre.
* Additional special attackers such as Miraidon and Kyogre can assist in overwhelming common specially bulky Pokemon such as Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Arceus formes, making them good teammates.
* Despite its pathetic Defense stat and Life Orb recoil, Flutter Mane offers legitimate defensive utility for teams thanks to its myriad of immunities as well as its decent Special Defense. It features as a prominent Dragon-type switch-in on teams that forgo Zacian-C or Arceus-Fairy, which is especially helpful for Miraidon. Its Normal- and Fighting-type immunities come in handy for both Koraidon and Extreme Killer Arceus. It should be noted, however, that switching into these is very high-risk, high-reward, as while Flutter Mane can take great advantage of its immunities, a wrong prediction will result in an easy OHKO for the opponent.
* Flutter Mane's extremely threatening nature and low defenses mean that it often forces a reactionary Tera from the opponent, often Tera Fire from Koraidon or Zacian-C or Tera Poison from Arceus formes. Care should be taken to not risk Flutter Mane in such situations when it isn't needed.

mention kyogre and miraidon as teammates. miraidon is self-explanatory. kyogre lets you not play the speedtie vs scarf korai and can take out spd walls alongside flutter mane, plus it is a decent switchin to cm arc if flutter is not running cm itself. i would also mention other physical threats like ekiller or arc ground; if you mention arc ground, talk about how it pseudo-checks zac for flutter outside of sun.
