[SET COMMENTS]
* The combination of First Impression and Tinted Lens make Lokix one of the most threatening revenge killers in the format, able to outprioritize and KO foes regardless of resistance.
* First Impression is Lokix's most important attack, but it can only be used as the first attack after it switches in.
* U-turn can be punishing against offensive teams as the lack of resists means Lokix can keep switching in and dealing big damage with First Impression, at the cost of making it vulnerable to hazards.
* Leech Life is the strongest Bug-type move Lokix learns outside of First Impression, with the added benefit of healing recoil damage.
* Sucker Punch is a powerful STAB priority move, enabling Lokix to outprioritize foes even after it has used First Impression.
* Axe Kick is the only coverage move of note in Lokix's moveset due to its high Base Power. Be wary of the low accuracy and recoil that occurs should it miss.
*Throat Chop is the most powerful Dark-type move Lokix learns. It also has the side benefit of disabling Roar from Hippowdon and Hyper Voice from Sylveon.
* Swords Dance is an option to make Lokix a sweeper instead of a revenge killer.
Items
========
**Life Orb**: Life Orb enables easier revenge kills at the cost of recoil.
**Silver Powder**: Silver Powder raises the power of First Impression without the recoil from Life Orb, and it also frees up Life Orb for a teammate to use instead.
Tera Types
========
**Bug**: A Bug Tera Type increases the damage of First Impression, allowing Lokix to OHKO foes it could not otherwise, such as Dragapult.
