[DragonPhoenix333]

[SET]
Revenge Killer (Atk) (Lokix) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Tinted Lens
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- First Impression
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- U-turn

Lokix functions as a revenge killer, leveraging its strong priority options to keep offensive threats in check. First Impression is Lokix’s main weapon, boasting immense power and benefiting from Tinted Lens, which allows it to deal heavy damage even to resists. Knock Off provides excellent utility by removing key defensive items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from common switch-ins like Corviknight and Zapdos, making them easier to wear down throughout the game. Sucker Punch complements First Impression by granting Lokix a secondary priority move, and U-turn rounds out the set by allowing Lokix to maintain momentum and safely bring in teammates like Hisuian Electrode or Reuniclus. Heavy-Duty Boots ensures Lokix can pivot in and out throughout the match. Tera Bug further enhances Lokix’s revenge killing power, turning First Impression into a nuke that can even threaten neutral targets after minimal chip damage.

Lokix appreciates high-Attack gods such as Ho-Oh and Necrozma-DM, which greatly amplify its First Impression damage and improve its revenge killing reliability. However, Lokix can also pair well with lower-Attack gods like Arceus, as it benefits from any Attack boost while offering valuable priority and pivoting support in return. Lokix fits best on slower balance and bulky offense teams that struggle with faster offensive threats, providing a reliable emergency button against sweepers like Roaring Moon, Ogerpon-W, and Darkrai. Lokix thrives alongside pivoting partners that can get it onto the field safely. Offensive pivots like Hisuian Electrode form strong VoltTurn cores that apply continuous pressure, while defensive pivots such as Rotom-W and Corviknight can take hits and bring Lokix in safely for revenge kills. Because of the lack of a boosting item, Lokix appreciates chip damage to push targets into OHKO range. Thus, teammates able to provide passive chip such as Clodsire and Sinistcha make good partners. Furthermore, entry hazard support from setters such as Skarmory, Clefable, and Ting-Lu are very appreciated. In return, Lokix’s Knock Off can remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots, allowing its team’s hazards to stick more effectively.

Lokix functions as a powerful revenge killer, leveraging its strong priority options and ...and what? to keep offensive threats in check. First Impression is Lokix’s main weapon, boasting immense power and benefiting from Tinted Lens, which allows it to deal heavy damage even to resists. Knock Off provides excellent utility by removing key defensive items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from common switch-ins like Corviknight and Zapdos, making them easier to wear down throughout the game. Sucker Punch complements First Impression by granting Lokix a secondary priority move, and U-turn rounds out the set by allowing Lokix to maintain momentum and safely bring in teammates like Hisuian Electrode or Reuniclus.

Lokix appreciates high-Attack gods such as Ho-Oh and Necrozma-DM, which greatly amplify its First Impression damage and improve its revenge killing reliability. However, Lokix can also pair well with lower-Attack gods like Kyurem-White, another example plz, the only rsn to play boots kix is if you dont have removal and every kyurem team should have removal as it benefits from any Attack boost while offering valuable priority and pivoting support in return. Lokix fits best on slower balance and bulky offense teams that struggle with faster offensive threats, providing a reliable emergency button against sweepers like Roaring Moon, Ogerpon-W, and Darkrai. Lokix thrives alongside pivoting partners that can get it onto the field safely. Offensive pivots like Hisuian Electrode form strong VoltTurn cores that apply continuous pressure, while defensive pivots such as Rotom-W and Corviknight can take hits and bring Lokix in safely for revenge kills. Despite holding the Heavy-Duty Boots, Lokix is vulnerable to hazards if they are removed, so hazard control from teammates like Great Tusk and the aforementioned Corviknight is appreciated to maintain its longevity. Lokix also benefits from entry hazard support from setters such as Skarmory, Clefable, and Ting-Lu, as chip damage helps push targets into First Impression range. In return, Lokix’s Knock Off can remove opposing Boots, allowing its team’s hazards to stick more effectively. i think chip damage is so crucial to non cb kix that mentioning teammates that have other forms of passive chip like clodsire or sinistcha could also be worth it
