Relic Song: Relic song allows Meloetta to switch between a physical and special sweeper while also havinga a 20% chance to cause sleep thanks to Serene Grace
Close Combat / Brick Break / Drain Punch: Close Combat is Meloetta's most reliable stab move considering its Pirouette form allowing Close Combat to become a stab move while having great coverage . Brick Break and Drain Punch can be used alternatively to cut through screens or to regain hp.
Psychic: Psychic is Meloetta's most reliable stab move when it comes to its Aria form allowing Psychic to become a stab move while having a 20% to lower Sp Defense thanks to Serene Grace.
Tera Blast: Tera Blast is perfect for this setup given that Relic Song gives it the ability to switch between becoming a special and physical attacker. This allows Meloetta to have a strong normal type stab regardless of its form.
Life Orb / Assault Vest: Life Orb allows it to take a more offensive approach dealing more damage at the cost of a slight bit of health per turn. Assault Vest allows it to take a more defensive approach boosting is Sp Def giving both forms a better chance of surviving against Sp Atkers.
Tips: Partners with Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, Toxic, or Will-O-Wisp could help Meloetta to out speed opposing Pokemon and could nullify Focus Sashes to ensure its ability to sweep.
