A gimmicky closed-teamsheet restricted that steamrolls teams if they give it even one free turn.
The strategy is to lead with Iron Hands (set below), and Fake Out + Trick Room, then side attack Calyrex, as Iron Hands has super effective moves that deal minimal damage to Calyrex both in and out of Tera.
Then, with a doubled attack, Glacial Lance rips through opposing teams, with High Horsepower covering Fire and Steel types.
Protect lets Calyrex stay safe when opponents hyperfixate on it, letting Iron Hands break a crucial Focus Sash, or pivot out to another Trick Room teammate.
The EVs give balanced defenses, with enough SpD to get the bonus point from the nature. There are no Atk EVs since, with doubled base 150 Attack, they would just be overkill.
