Kartana is an incredibly powerful physical wallbreaker, with Gigaton Hammer being able to OHKO a vast amount of targets. Teravolt lets Kartana fare better against Fur Coat users like Arceus formes and Yveltal. Sword of Ruin provides higher damage against non-Fur Coat Pokemon, notably letting Gigaton Hammer OHKO Arceus formes. Flower Trick is a more reliable alternative to Power Whip that also ignores Strength Sap Attack drops and won't miss but is weaker. V-create smashes Steel-types, OHKOing even the bulkiest like Mega Steelix and deterring Imposter users. Bullet Punch provides useful priority against Mega Diancie and can pick off a weakened Pheromosa or Mega Alakazam. Alternatively, Headlong Rush provides coverage against Miraidon and Fire-types like Victini. Kartana synergizes well with other physical wallbreakers like Mega Garchomp and Kyurem-B; Kartana pressures most Fur Coat Pokemon with its powerful Gigaton Hammer, while they can help break past walls to Kartana like Miraidon. Due to its frailty and susceptibility to utility moves and status conditions, Kartana requires slow pivots like Primal Kyogre and Mega Steelix to bring it in safely. Kartana can be Imposter-proofed by the likes of Miraidon, Fur Coat Arceus formes, and Fire-types like Victini, although Headlong Rush variants require these to have Strength Sap.

Kartana is an incredibly powerful physical wallbreaker with Gigaton Hammer being able to OHKO a vast amount of targets. Teravolt lets Kartana fare better against Fur Coat users like Arceus formes and allows Kartana to OHKO Dondozo with Power Whip non teravolt still can 2ohko fc dozo (with SoR), so maybe its not necessary to mention dozo being able to be ohko'd, doesn't need to be changed though. Sword of Ruin provides higher damage against non-Fur Coat Pokemon, notably letting Gigaton Hammer OHKO Arceus formes. Steely Spirit is an alternative that boosts Gigaton Hammer and Bullet Punch even more at the cost of not boosting other moves. Flower Trick is a more reliable alternative to Power Whip that also ignores Strength Sap Attack drops, but is weaker. V-create smashes Steel-types, OHKOing even the bulkiest like Mega Steelix and deters Imposter users. Bullet Punch provides useful priority against Mega Diancie and can pick off a weakened Pheromosa or Mega Alakazam. Alternatively, Headlong Rush provides coverage against Miraidon and Fire-types like Victini. Kartana synergizes well with other physical wallbreakers like Mega Garchomp and Kyurem-B. Kartana pressures Fur Coat Pokemon with its powerful Gigaton Hammer while they can help break past walls to Kartana like Miraidon. Probably provide a sentence mentioning defensive teammates that Kartana would like that provides pivoting, allowing it to get in more easily Kartana can be Imposter-proofed by the likes of Miraidon, Fur Coat Arceus formes, or Fire-types like Victini.

Sword of Ruin provides higher damage against non-Fur Coat Pokemon, notably letting Gigaton Hammer OHKO Arceus formes. Steely Spirit is an alternative that boosts Gigaton Hammer and Bullet Punch even more if steely matters for anything then put the ranges here, otherwise axe this at the cost of not boosting other moves. Flower Trick is a more reliable alternative to Power Whip that also ignores Strength Sap Attack drops and won't miss, but is weaker. V-create smashes Steel-types, OHKOing even the bulkiest like Mega Steelix and deters Imposter users.

Alternatively, Headlong Rush provides coverage against Miraidon and Fire-types like Victini. Kartana synergizes well with other physical wallbreakers like Mega Garchomp and Kyurem-B.; (period to semi-colon; the next sentence makes little sense otherwise) Kartana pressures most Fur Coat Pokemon with its powerful Gigaton Hammer, (ac) while they can help break past walls to Kartana like Miraidon. Due to its frailty and susceptibility to utility moves and status conditions, Kartana appreciates requires slow pivots like Primal Kyogre and Mega Steelix to bring it in safely. Kartana can be Imposter-proofed by the likes of Miraidon, Fur Coat Arceus formes, or Fire-types like Victini, although Headlong Rush variants require these to have Strength Sap.
