Happiny

Happiny is a member of one of the only evolutionary lines with access to a team status-curing move - Heal Bell, in this case. It is also great Struggle and Knock Off fodder, but it has to choose between being OHKOed by Gholdengo Steel Beam with Naive (and Black Sludge) or as many Struggles as possible with Hasty. Happiny can attempt to disrupt with Thunder Wave or gamble for copying opposing Steel Beam, Belly Drum, and more with Copycat. Natural Cure gives Happiny an unusual niche as a cleric who can absorb paralysis reasonably well, while the other 2 abilities open up the potential for Happiny to be profitably Poisoned until it uses Heal Bell. Happiny takes advantage of the usual Tera type options to dodge Pranksters, escape trappers, or become weak to Steel Beam and Stealth Rock or Chloroblast.
