Lycanroc

Lycanroc has a niche in some Court Change teams as the fastest Stealth Rock user with a phazing status move, letting it chuck out Perish Songed Pokemon, hazard removers switching in, and more. Lycanroc notably outspeeds the hazards remover Maushold and profitably Taunts it so it cannot remove hazards. Lycanroc can also take advantage of its Sand Rush ability to set Sandstorm and both get a speed boost and support the team (and often the opposing team) with additional chip. Lycanroc still needs to Tera Ice the turn it sets Stealth Rock in order to get chipped efficiently by repeatedly switching into Stealth Rock, though. 4 HP IVs make Lycanroc's max. HP divisible by 8 so it KOes itself faster. A Naive nature along with Black Sludge makes Lycanroc OHKOed by Zacian and Zamazenta Steel Beam.
