Comments

Shedinja never runs that set, Marshadow with Focus Sash is only good on HO, which is what this isn't, Dracovish with sash is bad, and it is already bad in general in AG, Play Rough should be replaced by Wild Charge, and Cinderace is bad in AG.

Answer 1

Alright.
Cinderace:
Cinderace is unviable in AG. I’d replace it for Necrozma-Dusk Mane as you have nothing for Zacian-C.

Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Sunsteel Strike
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Morning Sun
Eternatus
Set and nature are good, but the EVs aren’t as much. 252 HP / 164 SpD / 92 Spe would be better, as it does better against SpA yveltal and Kyogre and has just enough speed to outspeed Adamant marshadow, while 252 Spe doesn’t achieve any notable milestones.
Zacian-C
Adamant, 4 HP EVs, and Wild Charge>Play Rough to hit Kyogre and Ho-Oh. Otherwise, looks good.
Dracovish
Dracovish is eh. Your team lacks the spectacular Yveltal that is almost a must to check Calyrex-Shadow.

Yveltal @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Dark Aura
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Foul Play
- U-turn
- Defog
- Roost
Marshadow
Focus Sash Marshadow isn’t good, especially with jolly and spectral thief. Defensive Pokémon, namely Yveltal, Necrozma-Dusk, Eternatus, and more absolutely wall it. A better set would be:

Marshadow @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Poltergeist
- Close Combat
- Shadow Sneak
- Ice Punch / Bulk Up
Shedninja
Shedninja is an answer to Kyogre and Xerneas, but you already have Eternatus and NDM for them. I’d replace it with either Calyrex-Shadow or Kyogre for special sweepers, as you lack those.

Kyogre @ Choice Specs / Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Water Spout
- Origin Pulse
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
Kyogre and Marshadow make a nice core, as I detailed here.

Calyrex-Shadow @ Life Orb
Ability: As One (Spectrier)
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Psyshock
- Astral Barrage
- Draining Kiss

Hope this helps!
