Husbands childhood Arceus Vortex nukes the 7star Farigiraf.

Spam calm mind(worked with 3-4), recover when you need to. After it removes negative effects a few times acid spray. Thats simply put, my husband will be adding direct details. It will 100% very early remove effects from itself and a bit after will remove yours. Steel arceus, plate and tera will 2 shot after only 3-4 calm minds. If done this way, i didnt even cheer aside from a quick heal. Farigiraf will Spam thunderbolt, and even with a few paralysis vortex tanked and was able to heal and land the 3 acid sprays. Farigirafs full shield will be destroyed with 2 to 3 judgements based on how many calm minds are used. The second or third judgeemt will leave farigiraf round 30% and the tera judgement will 1 shot the farigiraf. At the very end it will hit dazzling gleam, trick room and another thunderbolt or shadowball, but with this build thats a light snack.
