Azurill

Azurill is one of the best Chloroblast blockers in the entire meta thanks to Sap Sipper, which lets it switch into Grass moves and null them completely - Chloroblast doesn't even rip out 50% of its user's max. HP! Azurill is also great Steel Beam fodder that can self-2HKO with Substitute into Belly Drum along with Black Sludge if the opponent happens to bring in no Steel Beam users. While Azurill has trouble using its support moves with its 20 base Speed, Azurill has access to Encore to disrupt some opponents and Perish Song to absorb Trick/Switcheroo/Knock Off and still KO itself. A Naive nature lets Azurill be OHKOed by Varoom Steel Beam. 6 HP IVs enable the Sub-Drum self-2HKO by making its max. HP divisible by 8. Tera Dark lets Azurill dodge Pranksters, while Tera Ghost lets it escape trappers (especially after it uses Belly Drum).
