Liepard Family

The Liepard family got Prankster back, which puts them back into a rarefied position among disruptors. Purrloin notably has good viability, having all the best moves in Liepard's movepool (Taunt, Encore, Trick, Thunder Wave) and, when Naive, being cleanly OHKOd by Zacian's Steel Beam, being OHKOd by Klink's STAB 45 base Special Attack Steel Beam after Black Sludge, and being OHKOd most of the time by Pawniard's STAB 40 base Special Attack Steel Beam after Black Sludge while still outspeeding fellow Pranksters Sableye and Impidimp (so it can put out a Substitute before Sableye Imprisons it away, for example). A lack of Disable to hose Steel Beam users and a lack of Imprison to hose Dark-types are drawbacks for this family, though.
