Salazzle

Salazzle is a rare Taunt user that can actually switch into Taunt, thanks to its ability Oblivious (which even lets it shrug off Mold Breaker Taunt). Encore and Thunder Wave add to Salazzle's disruption toolkit, and Salazzle is also one of the fastest viable Knock Off users in the entire meta. Salazzle's Poison/Fire typing lets it be luckily 2x weak to Stealth Rock, thus giving it a niche in Court Change teams, but unfortunately restricts its item choice to Sticky Barb. However, Terastallizing it lets Salazzle get chipped by any Tricked/Switcherooed Toxic Orbs or even Black Sludges it may get. 2 HP IVs make its max. HP divisible by 8 so it fits in Court Change teams better. Use Timid with Knock Off and Hasty otherwise, as Salazzle unfortunately is not OHKOed by any viable Steel Beam users. Salazzle takes advantage of the usual Tera type options to choose between dodging Pranksters, escaping trappers, or becoming weak to Steel Beam and either Stealth Rock or Chloroblast.
