[SET COMMENTS]

* WIth the combination of Trick Room and Lunar Dance, Cresselia can give bulky attackers like Ursaluna-B another chance for dangerous comeback sweeps!

* **Moonblast**: Due to the support nature of this set, Moonblast is preferred over a STAB move; otherwise, Cresselia is walled by common Dark-type threats like Chien-Pao and Urshifu-S.

* **Moonlight**: Moonlight makes Cresselia less of a one-and-done support Pokemon, increasing its longevity and potentially letting it stall out weaker attackers.

* **Ice Beam**: Ice Beam is more effective at pressuring Dragonite than Moonblast, which can be useful if wanting to force an early Terastallization.

* **Bold versus Relaxed** : Thanks to a decent base Speed stat, a Bold nature with regular Speed is an option if wanting to make Cresselia more flexible outside of Trick Room.

Other Options
========

* **Skill Swap**: Skill Swap can be used to take away Multiscale from Dragonite, which otherwise can use Roost on the turn that Cresselia uses Lunar Dance. Since Dragonite can still switch out to reset its ability, this option works best with Stealth Rock support.

Tera Types
========

* **Tera Dependency - Low**: This set's support focus and bulk usually do not require Terastallization, making Cresselia an excellent partner for the sweepers it supports.

* **Fairy**: Tera Fairy lets it resist Dark-type attacks from the likes of Chi-Yu while also nullifying Scale Shot setups from attackers like Dragonite and Roaring Moon.

* **Electric**: Tera Electric remains a solid option thanks to Levitate, giving Cresselia essentially no weaknesses and providing an important paralysis immunity.

* **Steel**: Tera Steel makes it much harder for Latios to muscle through Cresselia while still maintaining a very favorable matchup against Dragonite thanks to the synergy with Levitate.

Items
========

* **Mental Herb**: Cresselia is frequently targeted by Taunt users like Flutter Mane, making Mental Herb a great option to guarantee Trick Room is set.

* **Sitrus Berry**: Sitrus Berry is a strong general option for further augmenting Cresselia's longevity.

* **Rocky Helmet**: Rocky Helmet is useful for breaking Focus Sash from targets like both formes of Urshifu, making it more difficult for them to stall out an incoming Trick Room sweep.

Despite Cresselia's huge drop in usage, I don't think Regulation F has been a DRAMATIC change for it, it still does similar stuff!

- I'd mention Urshifu-S over Chi-Yu for the first Chi-Yu mention by Moonblast, Chi-Yu is still really relevant but Urshifu-S is a way bigger target of Moonblast, while Chi-Yu won't take that much from it.

- I think Tera Steel is worth a slash in just because of the huge amount of Dragons like Latios flying around atm, plus Steel is awesome with Levitate and really helps out against a lot of Dragonite!

- I'd bring up Rocky Helmet somewhere, because breaking sashes from the likes of Urshifu-R or Dragonite can help with TR sweeps later.

The rest of this looks good to me, consider this QC Approved 1/1 after these checks! I probably won't be around to tag GP till later tonight so just highlight derpy or someone to tag them when you're ready!
