HEY HOW ARE YOU DOING!
(a strong first impression)

[SET]
Choice Band (Lokix) @ Choice Band
Ability: Tinted Lens
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- First Impression
- Knock Off
- Leech Life
- U-turn

With a Choice Band equipped, Lokix's revenge killing capabilities are shot up to eleven, KOing nearly the entire tier with First Impression, such as Excadrill, Tera Steel Latios, and Keldeo after some slight chip damaged. Knock Off removes Rocky Helmet from Skarmory and deals strong damage to Tinkaton and Fezandipiti. Leech Life allows Lokix to recover its health, offset entry hazard damage, have a consistent Bug-type move to use. U-turn allows Lokix to have a guaranteed strong move to pivot on slower foes like Fezandipiti. With Tera Bug, Lokix OHKOs Excadrill, Slither Wing, and Thundurus. An Adamant nature is preferred for maximum damage output, but a Jolly nature lets it outspeed Hisuian Arcanine and Excadrill and safely pivot out on them, at the cost of missing out on guaranteed KOs from full on Keldeo and Slither Wing.

Choice Band Lokix often fits on offense teams that use heavy pivoting to get it in and out of battle quickly. To help with pivoting, partners such as Sandy Shocks and Choice Specs Keldeo can take on Heatran and Skarmory. They also appreciate Lokix taking down Latios and Hydrapple, letting Keldeo use Flip Turn and Vacuum Wave over Icy Wind. Since Lokix is very weak to entry hazard damage, teammates like Excadrill, Donphan, and Mandibuzz are often mandatory partners. Excadrill and Donphan can double up as entry hazard setters to allow Lokix to ensure the KO on Keldeo. Mandibuzz can also double up as a good pivot and check to opposing Lokix.

Knock Off removes Rocky Helmet from Skarmory and deal strong damage to Fezandipiti. Leech Life allows Lokix to recover its health and offset entry hazard damage and sweep through (this sounds confusing. i think you meant having a consistent move to click but unsure) . U-turn allows Lokix to have a guarenteed strong move to pivot on slower foes like Fezandipiti. With Tera Bug, Lokix OHKOs Excadrill, Slither Wing, and Thundurus. An Adamant Nature is preferred for maximum damage output, but a Jolly Nature lets it outspeed Hisuian Arcanine and Excadrill and safely pivot out on them.

Choice Band Lokix often fits on offense teams with that use heavy pivoting to get it in and out of battle quickly. To help with pivoting, partners such as Fezandipiti and Choice Specs Keldeo can lure in foes like Metagross and as well as take on Heatran (this sentence is weird lowk bc fez doesnt help with tran and meta never wants to swap into keldeo, maybe seperate them? I would also shoutout sandy shocks, helps to deal with skarm/heatran) . They also appreciate Lokix taking down Latios and Hydrapple (add apple if u plan to add sandy shocks) , letting Keldeo use Flip Turn and Vacuum Wave over Icy Wind. Since Lokix is very weak to entry hazard damage, teammates like Excadrill, Donphan, and Mandibuzz are often mandatory partners. Excadrill and Donphan can double up as entry hazard setters to allow Lokix to ensure the KO on Keldeo. Mandibuzz can also double up as a good pivot and check to opposing Lokix.
