Snom

Snom is notably both 4x weak to Stealth Rock and OHKOed by every Steel Beam in the entire meta that OHKOes at least one Pokemon, including the weakest such, Bronzor's. This makes it a decent option in Court Change teams otherwise soft to Self-2HKO Spam teams. Snom's movepool is so bad that Sleep Talk and Mirror Coat are viable options. Heck, it's possible that Snom should go down to only Substitute and possibly Protect as its only moves in its moveset so Imprison users as well as Taunt users force it to Struggle! Shield Dust lets Snom not get paralyzed by Nuzzle. Black Sludge makes it fit better in Court Change teams. A Hasty nature lets it get OHKOed by Cyclizar Knock Off. 6 HP IVs make Snom's max. HP divisible by 8 so it KOes itself faster. While Terastallizing Snom is usually not recommended due to how passive it is, Tera Dark lets it dodge Pranksters, while Tera Ghost lets it escape trappers and become weak to Knock Off.
