Persian-A

Although it lost Roar in Gen 9, and its speed tier is not what it used to be, Persian-A is still a serviceable Dark-type and therefore Prankster-dodging disruptor with access to Taunt, Parting Shot, Switcheroo, and Thunder Wave. Fake Out is an option for not harming opponents when Taunted. Depending on whether you like pivoting or spamming Taunt with Persian-A, it should use Black Sludge or Toxic Orb to KO itself faster. Rattled is Persian-A's best ability in The Loser's Game because it raises its Speed only, not Defense or move base power. A Naive nature lets Persian-A be OHKOed by Magnemite Steel Beam. If using Sitrus Berry Switcheroo, 1 HP IV makes Persian-A's max. HP odd so that Berry activates as rarely as possible. Tera Ice makes Persian-A weak to Steel Beam and Stealth Rock - Electrode-H Chloroblast has a 50% chance of OHKOing it, anyway.
