Lucario

Lucario is a Steel Beam user that Ghosts such as Calyrex-S and Flutter Mane may not want to keep disrupting and that can safely win an ending 1-vs-1 against Gholdengo unless Gholdengo Teras, thanks to its access to High Jump Kick, which rips out 50% of its max. HP whenever it whiffs! If Taunted by a non-Ghost, Lucario always has Steel Beam to fall back to. Lucario can try healing others with Heal Pulse or do funny things like copying opposing Belly Drum and Court Change with Copycat. Lucario should be Jolly so its Steel Beam is as weak as possible, even though it still OHKOes Iron Bundle, Cyclizar, Gothita, and more. 6 HP IVs make Lucario's max. HP divisible by 8 so it self-2HKOes with Black Sludge-Substitute-Steel Beam. Lucario can take advantage of the usual Tera types to dodge Pranksters, escape from trappers, or become weak to Steel Beam and Stealth Rock or Chloroblast.
