<p>With Trick and Choice Scarf, Cresselia does a fine job at countering or crippling heavy threats like Salamence, Lucario, and Gyarados. The extra Speed from Choice Scarf allows Cresselia to outspeed Salamence without a Dragon Dance, meaning she can come in and Ice Beam Salamence, which will always OHKO with Stealth Rock down. This allows Cresselia to beat Chocie Band Salamence, which Scarf-less variants cannot do for fear of being 2HKOed by Outrage. Lucario is a little bit more difficult, as if Cresselia switches in on Swords Dance, Crunch followed by ExtremeSpeed from Jolly Lucario will always 2HKO with Stealth Rock support (Adamant Lucario will always 2HKO regardless of Stealth Rock support). While Cresselia cannot always beat Lucario, it can cripple it by giving it Choice Scarf, severely reducing Lucario's sweeping capabilities.</p>
<p>Reflect allows Cresselia to protect itself against the Pursuiters that commonly come in on her, such as Choice Band Tyranitar and Heracross. If they are not a problem, feel free to run Psychic over Reflect for the ability to beat more threats. Moonlight can be used before and after Tricking Choice Scarf, as it is helpful to stall out Outrages. Thunder Wave can be used in conjunction with Trick, paralyzing the pokemon that has recieved the Choice Scarf, and can be used over Reflect or Psychic.</p>
