Axew

Axew is the frailest Mold Breaker user with Taunt, thus giving it a slight niche. Note that Axew still outspeeds the Magic Bounce users Hattrem and Hatenna. Roar rounds out Axew's movepool, being able to phaze out Perish Song-affected opposing Pokemon, Pokemon with too much Toxic Orb chip, and more. Naive Black Sludge lets Axew be OHKOed by Dugtrio-A Steel Beam. Tera Dark gives Axew protection against Pranksters, while Tera Ghost lets it escape trappers, and Tera Ice lets Axew become both even better Steel Beam fodder and get chipped more by Stealth Rock. All of these Tera types also let Axew be OHKOed by Electrode-H Chloroblast.
