Max Atk/Spe EVs, No Retreat to set up and sweep — a physical attacker Mega Falinks. Its ability Defiant deters the opponent's stat-lowering effects, and raises all of its own stats to pressure with high-power physical moves.
Subweapon Swap Options
Mega Falinks learns moves of various types. To hit the weakness of Fairy types, Iron Head or Poison Jab, to hit the weakness of Flying types, Rock Slide, and the well-complementing coverage with Fighting type High Horsepower and others are adoption candidates. Adjust the moveset to fit the role.
No Retreat raises all of its stats, and with those boosted stats it takes on the role of an ace that finishes off opponents. Even against Fairy and Ghost types that resist Fighting moves, applies pressure to a wide range of opponents by using multiple subweapons situationally — its specialty.
Weak to physically defensive Pokémon
Mega Falinks's No Retreat can only raise stats once and switching out becomes impossible. If a physically defensive Pokémon with a recovery move is sent in, it may fail to push through and get broken through as a result.Watch out for the drawback when using No Retreat.

Focus Sash with No Retreat is a setup ace build of Falinks that secures an opening to use it. The ability Defiant deters interference from the opponent's stat drops, while pushing through with high-power physical moves and broad coverage from its boosted all-around stats — its composition.
Iron Head is also recommended as a way to hit Fairy types
serves as a way to hit Fairy types that resist Fighting movesPoison Jab can be Iron Head is the alternative.whether you can hit the weakness changes depending on the Fairy-type Pokémon's secondary typing, so adjust it to suit the opponent you want to beat.
Focus Sash uses its guaranteed action as a shield to set up with its signature move No Retreat to boost all of its stats and aim for a sweep as its main role. It has the drawback of being unable to switch out after setting up, but leveraging its raised bulk and broad coverage to maintain a favorable board and take control — its role.
Physical walls whose weaknesses can't be hit
No Retreat is a powerful setup move, but it can only be used once. Even after setting up No Retreat once, it gets walled by bulky physical wall Pokémon, and being unable to switch out, it gets taken down.If you spot one on the opponent's team, you may need to hold it back from your selection.
