Court Change is a high-risk high-reward playstyle that relies on Stealth Rock setters, Cinderace to Court Change Stealth Rock to be on its side of the field, and teammates extremely weak to Rock. When pulled off, Court Change teams are able to inflict massive chunks of damage to themselves and can even KO multiple Pokemon on the same turn. The main counterplay is Defoggers and faster Taunt users to check Cinderace, making each turn with Stealth Rock on the opponent’s side of the field extremely detrimental. Baton Pass is a pivoting option for Cinderace, while Flare Blitz eliminates Defoggers like Klefki and Xatu so that Court Change is successful. Besides Black Sludge, White Herb is a defense against faster Taunt users like Impidimp and Weavile, although Cinderace will have a slower time KOing itself.
