  1. Tyranitar
  2. Pros:
  3. -Enables the demon that is Sand Rush Excadrill
  4. -Can be an all purpose special wall, even against water pokes
  5. Cons:
  6. -Has horrible type synergy with Excadrill. Noticibly makes water, ground, and fighting leaders a lot harder. Azelf can only do so much against them
  7. -Low Speed and weakness to EQ means it's not much use against dragon leaders, an already shaky matchup for Azelf and Excadrill
  8. -It has a low catch rate and I can't use the master ball against it due to it being reserved for Azelf.
  9. -Sand can be a huge detriment against Sand Veil pokes, most noticeably, Garchomp
  10.  
  11. Jolteon:
  12. Pros:
  13. -Flame Orb and Quick Feet makes it an excellent revenge killer without needing a choice scarf. This is especially noticable due to the lack of evs available
  14. -Has a great matchup against water pokes, except water/ground pokes and even then, it can bait in a ground move for Azelf to take advantage of
  15. -Volt Switch + Azelf's levitate makes a noticeably great combination, being able to bait in ground moves, and damage the opponent while switching.
  16. -It's one of the few pokemon capable of checking rain dance Kingdra.
  17. -Fast Thunder Wave is a great tool for emergency situations
  18. Cons:
  19. -Its power is prolly underwhelming without evs, which are mostly saved for Azelf
  20. -It's completely helpless against ground types
  21. -It's not great against dragon trainers, except for the kingdra matchup
  22.  
  23. Sawk:
  24. Pros:
  25. -Having a sturdy mon is really good for revenge killing and emergency situations
  26. -Sturdy pairs very well with Reversal
  27. -Get bulk up without needing to buy it
  28. -Has a great matchup against some dark types that Azelf and Excadrill struggle with, namely Hydreigon
  29. -Can be a decent stallbreaker against bulky water types which are the bane of Azelf's and Excadrill's existence
  30. Cons:
  31. -It has a poor coverage movepool
  32. -Doesn't do very well against flying pokes which is noticably bad for dragon trainers. Ice punch can help with this, however
  33. -Doesn't get any options to boost its speed
