Analysis
Calyrex attempts to act as a sweeper with its great overall bulk and access to Agility and Calm Mind. However, it struggles in the metagame because some of the top Pokemon like Klinklang and Skuntank resist or are immune to its Grass- and Psychic-type attacks. It also gets walled by the tier's top special wall in Articuno, which can either hit it for big damage with Freeze-Dry or U-turn or use Haze to remove all of its boosts. Calyrex finds a very hard time coming in safely to set up, unlike Galarian Rapidash, which has better defensive typing and reliable recovery to set up more easily, greater Speed to outrun the metagame without needing to boost, offensive coverage to hit the tier at least neutrally, and an ability that doesn't let it get worn down by the very popular Toxic.
