I’m just going to assume this is for online battles or something, where the format is like that of Anything Goes.Necrozma DM is the most viable by a longshot.First, it can wall Zacian-Crowned if it is defensive, and is among the few that can, and is the best out of these for doing so. This is a very valuable ability. But it doesn’t end there. It is very versatile, being able to fulfill a role as a Physical Defender, Dragon Dance Sweeper, Trick-Room Setter and Sweeper, and can utilize Dynamax and makes great use of the Weakness Policy. I’ll provide a few sets here:Physical defender:Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ LeftoversAbility: Prism ArmorEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 DefImpish Nature- Stealth Rock- Morning Sun- Sunsteel Strike- Thunder WaveWall dem dogsDragon Dance/Automize Physical Sweeper:Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Prism ArmorEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HPJolly Nature- Autotomize / Dragon Dance- Sunsteel Strike- Photon Geyser- EarthquakePrism Armor weakens super effective moves, and you can be at 1/2+ Spe and 2+ Atk and sweep. Max Steelspike and Max Quake make you have better defenses if you choose to dynamax.Trick Room sweeper:Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Prism ArmorEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 DefBrave Nature- Trick Room- Sunsteel Strike- Photon Geyser- EarthquakePretty much the other one but with Trick Room for “outspeeding”.

Since you want an attack team I would recommend using solgaleo or dusk mane necrozma for their attacks. But I recommend Dusk mane more.

NDM brings a ton of defensive utility and has good power. It has a great movepool, packing moves like Toxic, Thunder Wave, Stealth Rock, Knock Off, Sunsteel Strike, and Trick Room. NDM can act as either a great wall with its great bulk boosted by Prism Armor, or it can be a terrifying sweeper with its access to Trick Room, Swords Dance, and a potentially low Speed stat. Or, it can absolutely go for a Dragon Dance Weakness Policy sweep. There’s just so much NDM can do very well, it should always be considered on a team.
