1) Annihilape

• Held Item: Leftovers
• Ability: Vital Spirit
• Tera Type: Ghost or Fighting
• EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
• Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
• Moves: Bulk Up, Rage Fist, Close Combat, Screech

Annihilape is one of the most dependable options thanks to its durability and offensive setup. Using Bulk Up early helps it survive longer and power its Rage Fist, which, by itself, grows stronger as the battle goes on.

2) Urshifu (Single-Strike Style)

• Held Item: Life Orb
• Ability: Unseen Fist
• Tera Type: Fighting or Dark
• EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
• Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
• Moves: Swords Dance, Wicked Blow, Drain Punch, Close Combat

Urshifu’s Unseen Fist allows it to break through shields with direct hits, making it extremely efficient in raids. Wicked Blow guarantees critical hits while Drain Punch keeps Urshifu healthy through the fight.

3) Ursaluna

• Held Item: Flame Orb
• Ability: Guts
• Tera Type: Normal
• EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
• Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
• Moves: Belly Drum, Headlong Rush, Crunch, Facade

Ursaluna’s Guts ability pairs perfectly with the Flame Orb, boosting its Attack and allowing Facade to deal additional damage. With more damage from its Tera Normal and careful timing, Ursaluna can melt Blissey’s health once it gets going.
