Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Baxcalibur Legends: Z-A Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Baxcalibur works as a wallbreaker with 600 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Legends: Z-A for the right team. Dragon Dance with Loaded Dice is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Baxcalibur's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fighting), Rhyperior (Rock), and Hydreigon (Dragon), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Thermal Exchange is the go-to ability for Baxcalibur. It raises Attack when hit by a Fire-type move. Its hidden ability Ice Body can work in specific setups.

  • Baxcalibur is a physical attacker with base 145 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 87 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.

  • For Legends: Z-A, the core moveset is Dragon Dance, Dragon Dance, Glaiverush, and Icicle Spear. Dragon Dance leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability
