[SET COMMENTS]
With Regenerator, a solid defensive typing, and high physical bulk, Archaludon acts as a good physical wall that can wear down the opposing team. Dragon Tail phazes setup sweepers like Iron Hands, Dragonite, and all Ogerpon formes, and Heavy Slam hits Fairy-types such as Scream Tail and Florges. Alternatively, Iron Defense benefits Body Press's damage output and renders Archaludon's matchup against physical setup sweepers better. As Archaludon forces switches with Dragon Tail, Stealth Rock further increases the chip damage it deals to the opposing team. Rocky Helmet lets Archaludon wear down pivots such as Barraskewda, Cinderace, and Roaring Moon. Archaludon covers a variety of physical attackers such as all Ogerpon formes, Roaring Moon, and Barraskewda, but it is overwhelmed by offensive wallbreakers like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Galarian Zapdos, so allies such as Fluffy Corviknight and Skarmory are much appreciated. Archaludon also appreciates Pokemon like Hisuian Electrode and the Ogerpon formes beating Swampert, which it can't make much progress against. Archaludon has poor Special Defense, which makes it vulnerable to special wallbreakers such as Heatran, Iron Moth, and Gengar, so it appreciates specially defensive allies like Blissey and Empoleon.
