With defenses comparable to Heatran and a unique movepool options given its typing, Celesteela is shaping up to be on of the most balanced Pokemon introduced this generation. Its typing, which is shared with the OU cornerstone Skarmory, gives it access to a total of eight resistances and two immunities. While the lack of recovery is worrisome, Celesteela has access to Leech Seed and moves such as Flamethrower and Air Slash to keep Grass-types away. Celesteela also has a gigantic weight of 2204.4 lbs., tied for the heaviest in the game, giving her a (usually) full power STAB Heavy Slam against most of the tier. Due to this, along with Beast Boost, Celesteela isn't as passive as other defensive Pokemon. It can also go with an Autotomize set, which pairs nicely with its typing's neutrality or resistance to all forms of priority.
Example Set:
Celesteela @ Leftovers
