Sunkern

Sunkern is reasonably well-rounded fodder that can still KO itself if given a bad item thanks to Sunny Day and its ability, Solar Power. Thanks to Black Sludge, it is OHKOed by Cyclizar Knock Off and Tinkatink Steel Beam no matter what, and Naive Black Sludge Sunkern is OHKOed by Varoom Steel Beam. Hasty is semi-viable to nearly guarantee the OHKO by Tinkaton Knock Off. Encore is a disruptive move that works through opposing Substitutes. Protect is a good idea to guarantee additional (often 25%) self-chip, while Curse can be used with Tera Ghost to help self-2HKO. 6 HP IVs make Sunkern's max. HP divisible by 8 so it KOes itself faster, especially under Sun. Tera Dark lets Sunkern dodge Pranksters, while Tera Ghost enables Curse, lets Sunkern escape trappers, and makes Sunkern weak to Knock Off, and Tera Ice lets Sunkern be OHKOed by Bronzor Steel Beam and makes it weak to Stealth Rock.
