Azelf excels as a defensive and supportive Pokémon in BDSP. Its high Special Defense and access to moves like Recover and Light Screen make it durable. Offensively, it can use powerful Psychic-type moves like Psystrike or Future Sight. Azelf’s ability Levitate also grants immunity to Ground-type attacks, enhancing its survivability.
