Why do so many shiny hunters use Solgaleo?

Question

Is it just preferance or it is good?

Answer 1

Full Metal Body and Sunsteel Strike are good for chaining Pokémon that can often pose problems; FMB prevents stat-lowering moves from working (Sand-Attack in particular is annoying) and Sunsteel Strike bypasses Sturdy. Plus it has good defensive stats and access to Morning Sun, so it can tank a lot of chip damage if the chain goes longer than expected.

Comments

Thx! Do you think you could give a move-set for one if possible?

I would definitely recommend Sunsteel Strike and Morning Sun. The other two moves can be adjusted depending on which Pokémon you’re chaining, but if there aren’t any specific conditions to work around, then in general, a supereffective move (if steel isn’t) would be good, along with Cosmic Power to waste spare turns with.
