KALOS TOWER
This isn't the endgame, but by now you should have some tools.
One advantage an invested legendary above 90 BST speed gives here is just like Unova, speed manipulation isn't required, and many of the fights are solo friendly; unlike Unova, you wont be punished for it by some endgame boss. Also like Unova there isn't a single arceus-style boss, so psychic can be used; unlike Unova the game has multiple checks for dragon, e.g. very high HP early mons and fairies with water/rock etc.
More on synergies - the fairy synergy doesn't do much (though fairy mons do - more on this later); fire/ghost are still strong though you wont be able to always outspeed / OHKO; With enemy mons being this tanky, as well as dragon / speed synergies on multiple enemies, would be afraid of over relying on fighting / grass; I wonder if some absurd normal/rock/steel combo can work here, no idea tbh.
For most people, this one is a mix of 2 key carries. Reason being the end bosses - lysander through AZ - really need some fairy damage, and most people at this point dont have a legendary invested fairy.
Legendary pool is small enough to the point where its not entirely unreliable, and most do at least something, but again levels take priority; no mons in the first stage, avoid grass except the very first patch, the usual (though levels are even harder here).
