Calyrex-S

Calyrex-S is one of the best Pokemon in the entirety of The Loser's Game, with crushingly favourable match-ups against most Pokemon it outspeeds thanks to its access to Taunt and Heal Pulse, and it outspeeds a ton thanks to its 150 base Speed. Tera Dark fixes Calyrex-S's weakness to Prankster users, making Magic Bounce, Good as Gold, Oblivious, and Aroma Veil users among its best checks. Calyrex-S is the fastest non-Prankster user of Trick and Baton Pass and can seal up some of its weaknesses to Taunt-ignoring Pokemon with Encore, Imprison, or Grassy Terrain or provide speed control team support with Trick Room. Calyrex-S likes staying in, so it prefers Toxic Orb. Calyrex-S's sole ability As One prevents opponents from consuming berries, making Calyrex-S's preferred item to Trick actually a difficult choice; it is the most viable Tricker of Leftovers in the meta as a result. As it is not OHKOed by any viable Steel Beam users, Calyrex-S should be Hasty to make it OHKOed by as many Knock Offs as possible, especially Cyclizar's. Calyrex-S needs 3 perfect IVs, so put them into its great Speed, never-used Special Attack, and little-used Attack. Only use 1 HP IV if Tricking Sitrus Berry to make it activate as rarely as possible on Calyrex-S.
