Here's a pretty effective set that works well in countering bulky mons that could otherwise be problematic
Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Spikes
- Foul Play/Play Rough
- Fairy Lock
- Thunder Wave
Trap Klefki is a great mon in this meta imo as it functions the way a standard Klefki would but can utilize priority Fairy Lock to prevent threats from switching out after they have killed Klefki allowing you to go straight out into a check and remove that threat for the rest of the game. Trapper Klefki functions well in this meta as bulky ground pokemon are becoming more and more common with the rise of tank chomp and the huge usage stats of Lando-T and Hippo, the ability to die to an earthquake and go right out into something that can kill them allows for some of your mons to sweep or clean up weakened teams. Using Specially defensive EVs since most of the aforementioned mons will be using earthquake to kill this. Functions really well on Hyper Offensive teams and Volt-Turn teams and works well alongside powerful unboosted special attacking mons with moves supereffective against ground and physical sweepers who take advantage of their counters being killed.
EDIT: This set is better suited to Bulky Offense and Keldeo is a great partner
