[SET COMMENTS]
Togekiss acts as a special setup sweeper for Fairy; with Nasty Plot and Max Airstream, Togekiss can quickly snowball by picking up Special Attack and Speed boosts. After Dynamaxing, it is able to outspeed almost everything and cause them to flinch thanks to Serene Grace. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Togekiss to ignore Stealth Rock so it can set up more easily. Air Slash is its main STAB attack, and Fire Blast and Aura Sphere allow it to break past Steel- and Rock-types that resist Air Slash. This enables it to break past many Pokemon that would otherwise give it trouble, such as Aegislash and Duraludon. Max Flare can also be used to get rid of rain and sand, allowing Togekiss to more easily threaten Pokemon like Barraskewda and Excadrill. Psychic is another option on Togekiss that enables it to break past Poison-type Pokemon such as Toxapex and Toxtricity easily. Togekiss's EV spread makes it as reliable and fast as possible.
Ribombee can set up Sticky Web for Togekiss, allowing it to outspeed grounded foes such as Durant. Grimmsnarl appreciates Togekiss's ability to get rid of physical walls such as Toxapex for it letting it more readily break through Water teams with a combination of Play Rough and Sucker Punch. Whimsicott appreciates Togekiss's ability to get rid of Steel-type Pokemon such as Corviknight and Aegislash with Fire Blast, allowing it to more easily wear down teams with Prankster Substitute + Leech Seed. Faster Steel- and Poison-type Pokemon, such as Durant and Gengar, pose a threat to Togekiss, as they can quickly come in and OHKO it. Choice Scarf Gardevoir is an excellent check to these Pokemon; with Psychic and Mystical Fire, it can get rid of a decent chunk of Togekiss's checks.
