Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Play Rough
- Gunk Shot
- U-turn
The recent drop Liepard has great Speed and versatility, running either physical or special sets. Choice Band boosts Liepard's middling Attack stat and makes it annoying for offensive teams, with its high Speed putting it above Pokemon like Galarian Rapidash. Limber lets Liepard avoid Static and lets it pivot more freely into a teammate. Knock Off is extremely spammable and can remove Sandslash's Leftovers or Tangela's Eviolite. Play Rough hits Fighting-types like Throh. Gunk Shot nails fat Grass-types like Appletun and Tangela while removing Galarian Rapidash. Alternatively, Prankster with Copycat over Gunk Shot nets more revenge kills on Pokemon like Choice Scarf Unfezant. Pokemon like Golduck and Lilligant can be brought in via U-turn and break past Ground-types Liepard can't stay in on. Bulky Pokemon like Type: Null and Throh can switch into faster Choice Scarf users like Golduck and Manectric. Liepard also pairs nicely with setup sweepers like Nasty Plot Gourgeist and Swords Dance Falinks.
