Koraidon

Koraidon is the fastest automatic Sun setter in the entire meta at a blazing 135 base Speed, and it has the Taunt to take advantage of this high speed tier. With Sun, various Pokemon such as Flutter Mane, Scream Tail, Jumpluff, and Roaring Moon outspeed the entire non-Prankster, non-speed-boosted meta and other Pokemon such as Charizard and Toxicroak chip themselves more every turn. Koraidon's movepool is so barren that Counter, Scary Face, Sunny Day, and Sleep Talk are viable in the 4th moveslot. In particular, Counter lets Koraidon often deal no damage when Taunted instead of 2HKO-OHKOing substantial portions of the meta with Orichalcum Pulse-boosted Struggle. Due to being a hit-and-run supporter, Koraidon KOes itself faster on average with Black Sludge. Koraidon prefers to be either Timid to make its Struggles as weak as possible or Hasty to take more from opposing Struggle. Koraidon is stuck with especially cursed-high IVs due to being a box legendary. Tera Dark lets Koraidon dodge Pranksters, while Tera Ghost lets it escape trappers.
