[SET COMMENTS]
Primordial Sea Solgaleo is most notable for its ability to wall Eternatus, and it also serves as a solid defensive answer to threats like Ultra Necrozma, Desolate Land Mega Blaziken, and non-Headlong Rush Kyurem-B. Psychic Noise deals respectable damage against Eternatus and prevents it, along with potential switch-ins like Arceus formes, from using Strength Sap. Flip Turn is boosted by Primordial Sea and can deal minor chip damage, while Teleport provides slow pivoting despite Solgaleo's high Speed. Gigaton Hammer pressures Fairy-types like Mega Audino and dissuades Blissey from attempting to block Strength Sap. Spikes can help reduce Solgaleo's passivity against many defensive Pokemon. An Impish nature guarantees Solgaleo isn't 2HKOed by Sheer Force Ultra Necrozma's Bolt Strike, while Jolly allows Solgaleo to outrun Mega Blaziken and Mega Gardevoir. Solgaleo is useful when paired with threats like Ultra Necrozma, which usually require specific allies to Imposter-proof. Defensively, Solgaleo struggles against threats like Moongeist Beam users, Ash-Greninja, and Mega Garchomp, making walls like RegenVest Primal Kyogre and Fur Coat Fairy-types good teammates. Solgaleo can be Imposter-proofed by numerous options, but RegenVest users in particular do not care about Psychic Noise and can maintain momentum.
