Lokix uses First Impression to effectively remove offensive Pokemon like Ogerpon-C, Greninja, Latios and Zarude. This revenge killing is further backed up by Tinted Lens to remove the possibility to terrastilize safely to avoid fainting to First Impression. Knock Off is good for punishing common switchins such as Skarmory, and Sucker Punch allows Lokix to pick off faster threats even after its first turn on the field. Tera Bug is crucial in order to effectively KO threats such as Excadrill and Thundurus-T. Heavy-Duty Boots is important as it allows Lokix to come in multiple times even in the presence of Stealth Rock. Adamant is the nature of choice on this set, as it allows Lokix to do its job properly.
Lokix fits very well on balance and offense structures, playing the important role of being a revenge killer to many threats. Pokémon like Latios and Greninja appreciate Lokix using U-Turn to safely bring them in versus Coballion, Skarmory and Heatran. Lokix enjoys being paired with Slowking, as Slowking is able to use Chilly Reception to safely bring Lokix on Pokémon that threaten Slowking like Ogerpon-C and Greninja. In return, Slowking can help handle Pokemon that Lokix struggle with, like Heatran and Keldeo. Lokix, in general, likes to pair with other pivots. Boots Thundurus-T is able to be used as a nice partner as it is able to threaten the Skarmory that loves to come in on Lokix, as well as Coballion and Heatran. Defensive Pivots, like the aforementioned Slowking and Rotom-W appreciate Lokix being able to threaten the Zarude that greatly scare them, and in return they provide a nice defensive Pokémon for Lokix to fall back on. Hazard setters, such as Skarmory and Gastrodon, appreciate Lokix's ability to remove their Heavy-Duty Boots for their hazards they lay down. In return, Lokix appreciates the ability to go back to a defensive Pokémon, such as Skarmory handling other Lokix and Revavroom and Gastrodon handling Heatran.
