Salazzle

Sallazzle is best mon available for Oblivious, making it immune to Taunt while having its own Taunt / Encore to fire back. Its also really fast, meaning it can switch into slower Sub mons and Encore them into it, or Encore Imprison mons that don't have it. Disable has some synergy problems with Encore already there, and Thunder Wave can be considered to shut down slower Toxic Orb mons that haven't had a turn to set it up. The only downside to Salazzle is its vulnerability to faster and Prankster Taunts, with it unable to prevent Dug or Cinderace from setting up. Minimum defense is for taking max damage from Struggle.
