[SET COMMENTS]
Sheer Force Ultra Necrozma boasts great Speed and offenses, making it a fast and strong mixed attacker. Thanks to Sheer Force + Life Orb, it has excellent damage output, with Luster Purge or Bolt Strike always threatening to 2HKO Arceus formes other than Arceus-Ground. Blue Flare takes down Steel-types like Registeel, Celesteela, and Mega Steelix. Magical Torque is used primarily to target Imposter users for large amounts of damage, but it also hits Giratina and Miraidon hard. Sheer Force Ultra Necrozma best fits on balance teams that can give it multiple safe opportunities to switch in, as it generally needs to get correct correct to make any substantial progress. Pivoting support, such as with Teleport users like Mega Slowbro or RegenVest users like Mega Swampert, helps navigate Ultra Necrozma's frailty and prediction reliance. Ultra Necrozma can't really beat Ice Scales Arceus-Ground, so Toxic Spikes and Magic Bounce Flying-types like Yveltal can help by wearing it down. Ultra Necrozma also tends to get scared out by faster offensive threats like Ash-Greninja and Flutter Mane, so reliable checks to these like Mega Audino are appreciated. Imposter-proofing Ultra Necrozma with Ice Scales Arceus-Ground is the most reliable option, but options like other Ice Scales Arceus formes and Fur Coat Mega Slowbro can also work.
