Shroodle

Shroodle's main edges over other Prankster users in The Loser's Game are its access to Encore (and Taunt) along with being good Steel Beam fodder. Shroodle can opt for a pivoting move in its 4th moveslot, and it even is a decent Knock Off user due to its ability to force Dark-types in. (Knock Off OHKOes Hasty Hatenna and has a tendency to backfire against Gholdengo and Tera Ghost Espeon, both great switch-ins whose self-2HKOs are not interrupted by Shroodle Knock Off.) As a Poison/Normal-type, Shroodle is stuck holding Sticky Barb. Naive nature lets Shroodle be OHKOed by Pawniard and Cufant Steel Beam. Shroodle prefers Tera Dark to both ward off other Pranksters and be able to absorb Trick/Switcheroo better.
