Prankster with Imprison + Steel Beam is a great way for Klefki to get an edge against opposing Steel Beam and Imprison users. Zacian, Jirachi, and Silvally are forced out when Klefki sets up Imprision. Magic Coat bounces back Taunt and Encore from users like Calyrex-Shadow and Impidimp. Alternatively, priority Defog is a great way to make sure Court Change teams don’t gain any traction. The only aspect holding Klefki back is its moderately high Special Attack, causing it to OHKO Pokemon like Galarian Weezing and Galarian Rapidash. A Jolly nature minimizes Steel Beam damage.
