Notes: Liepard is an extremely versatile threat thanks to its plethora of viable sets such as Choice Band, Nasty Plot, and Weather Support. Having a good base Speed along with Prankster and a Psychic immunity allows it to cripple opponents and showcase its offensive prowess.
U-turn grants Liepard pivoting utility and pairs well with Choice and Weather variants.
Knock Off is Liepard's strongest Physical STAB and removes foes items if they lack Z-Crystals or Sticky Hold while Dark Pulse is its strongest Special STAB respectively.
Copycat allows Liepard to utilize Dark Pulse as a form of priority to revenge kill faster opponents such as Lycanroc, Raichu, and Dugtrio.
Encore locks opponents into set up or passive moves (hazards / status) while taunt prevents them. Prankster Rain Dance and Sunny Day ensures Liepard can set the weather quickly and provide 8 turns for supporting teammates.
