NO idea if this will work, but it might

happycandle-57 OP

lmk how cooked this is

happycandle-57 OP

Liepard: utility in knock off / prankster encore, but also has rain dance for arch and copycat. Copycat is for if arch moves last and you can sneak an electro shot in. The cat doesn’t need protect since if your partner protects you just copycat it

happycandle-57 OP

Archaludon: the same set from the cybertron team, very standard

happycandle-57 OP

Politoed: helping hand and rain setter. Has perish song for perish mode

happycandle-57 OP

Gengar: leader of perish mode, can trap stuff pretty well

happycandle-57 OP

Sinistcha: bulky with kasib to survive pretty long

happycandle-57 OP

Palafin: allows a 3rd “rain” mode by opening palafin + politoed or the like

silvercactus-53

I have an idea

silvercactus-53

You can add sableye over liepard

happycandle-57 OP

💀

snowylizard-75

Don’t listen to such comments

snowylizard-75

Liepard is the goat

happycandle-57 OP

Yes

royalcloud-73

I will toss you the same thing I did to someone

royalcloud-73

Scovillains signature move sharply boosts the atk of whatever Mon you use it on. Liepard knows foul play

royalcloud-73

royalcloud-73

It gives +2atk and -2 def

royalcloud-73

Takes mons who are a chance to 4hko to a possible ohko by giving them the boost if they are special attackers

royalcloud-73

By using foul play on them right after

happycandle-57 OP

Ohhhhh its -2 def???

happycandle-57 OP

But scovillian too slow

royalcloud-73

After boost

royalcloud-73

Liepard Foul Play vs. +2 / -2 Mega Charizard Y:
271-319 damage
176.0% - 207.1%
Guaranteed OHKO

royalcloud-73

Just to give you an example of how nasty the tech is

royalcloud-73

Max speed scov is one point higher than base speed liepard

royalcloud-73

Add tw speed becomes 254 scov 253 liepard

happycandle-57 OP

Ima test on ladder

happycandle-57 OP

Ill let you know

royalcloud-73

If you want copycat just remove fake kut

royalcloud-73

On liepard

happycandle-57 OP

Its just bad

happycandle-57 OP

3 games, used it once after I already had lost

happycandle-57 OP

Its horrible, 2 piece combo for 1 ko with jank frail mons

snowylizard-75

Foul play is what I was thinking as you do not need to invest anything in attack

snowylizard-75

And can OHKO bascu I think

happycandle-57 OP

Just invest attack and use knock off

happycandle-57 OP

Better utility and ohkos hasc

happycandle-57 OP

32+ ohkos

royalcloud-73

It's meant for the ohko against specials not the phys. You can alr foul play those

snowylizard-75

Liepard has one of the most diverse support moves

snowylizard-75

Screech fake tears sunny day rain dance taunt encore, you Name something, liepard has it

snowylizard-75

Copycat to copy the tailwind

snowylizard-75

:PokemonChampionsCool:

snowylizard-75

It is

snowylizard-75

If you make is min speed

snowylizard-75

:PokemonChampionsHappy:

snowylizard-75

Copycat fails if opponent uses protect.

snowylizard-75

It has some counterplot

snowylizard-75

Yes

snowylizard-75

Liepard is there for a good time not a long time

snowylizard-75

It can fake out to break sash turn 1

snowylizard-75

And hope its partner finishes the job

snowylizard-75

Whimsicott is superior just because tailwind

snowylizard-75

But liepard is heavily sleeped on

snowylizard-75

I used to play draft yes

snowylizard-75

When I was playing draft league, liepard was a menace. It also had twave for para

snowylizard-75

1 Pokemon cannot do everything. But you can knock off to consume berry so partner can KO

snowylizard-75

Yes

snowylizard-75

In swsh you could max hat and use max guard with the slot that was TR and use liepard to copycat and since non may cannot copy max moves, it would use Tr with prop

snowylizard-75

Yes

snowylizard-75

The counter play is if one of the opponents mon uses protect, copycat will fail and you cannot revert TR

snowylizard-75

Depends on your needs. It has all the weathers. It has fake tears or screech if you want to nuke an opponent

snowylizard-75

If they know copycat is coming to undo Tr

snowylizard-75

I had a friend who got so fed up of my liepard, he put in sucker punch and intentionally used it on a slow mon in TR so I could not revert Tr

snowylizard-75

My first team in champions was around liepard and garchomp. Atleast one opponent figured it out how to do stop it from reverting

snowylizard-75

I was running fake out taunt copycat and raindanxe I think for swift swim bascu. But liepard got sometimes ignored especially when I was playing against my friends. But maybe with an attacking move, it is actually viable

snowylizard-75

No.

snowylizard-75

Unless tailwind was the last move used

snowylizard-75

But honestly, you would just taunt the aero

snowylizard-75

Yes

snowylizard-75

Yeah. But I found it a bit lacklustre

happycandle-57 OP

Copycat. Thats its biggest move

happycandle-57 OP

Copycat is good intro tr, and fake out is good
