In this vide, we showcase Glastrier, one of the two horse mythicals of Pokemon Sword & Shield. Glastrier has some of the best bulk in the game with 100 HP, 130 defense, and 110 special defense. What makes Glastrier even more threatening is its whopping 145 base attack stat along with it's super slow speed of 30, making it one of the best Trick Room sweepers in the game. Should Glastrier pick up a KO, its Chilling Neigh ability activates, which gives it a +1 attack boost. If not careful, Glastrier can pick up huge momentum because of this and sweep through/end games rather quickly.

To support Glastrier, Dusclops takes up the second slot on the team. Dusclops will set Trick Room for Glastrier, and because we have the Weakness Policy item on Glastrier, we are running Brick Break to be able to self-proc the policy. Brick Break also serves as a way to break Light Screen/Reflect so that Glastrier can push through to pick up KO's. Gravity is the premier tech choice since it allows Glastrier to KO Rotom-H with High Horse Power.

Since Glastrier suffers from getting Intimidate spammed, Thundurus is used on the team to punish teams that would lead it. Along with Urshifu, this combo is the "fast" mode on the team that puts immense offensive pressure turn 1. Because our Urshifu is Choice-Banded, Urshifu can deal immense damage to dynamax Pokemon - and can even KO them. If Urshifu gets a +1 speed boost, very few pokemon can withstand choice banded wicked blow. Close Combat is also very helpful against Porygon-2. To round out the team, Incineroar & Tapu Fini take the final slot. Thundurus, Urshifu, and Glastrier do not appreciate getting burned or slept, so Tapu Fini makes sense to have. Incineroar is a good pivot mon along with Dusclops. On turn 1, Dusclops can go for Trick Room while Incineroar can click parting shot to pivot out into Glastrier.
