Klefki

Klefki's Prankster and excellent defensive typing make it a versatile support Pokemon. Priority Spikes, multiple resistances, and a good matchup against the tier's entry hazard removers like Cyclizar and Noivern mean it will often be able to set at least one layer per game, making it a useful pick on Spikes-stacking and offensive teams alike. Prankster Thunder Wave deters most setup sweepers and fast Pokemon from taking advantage of its passivity and can neutralize threats to its team such as Terrakion, Armarouge, and Galarian Zapdos. However, Klefki is quite passive, and Pokemon like Reuniclus and Bisharp can shrug off its attacks easily and use it as setup fodder. Outside of Spikes and Thunder Wave, it faces stiff competition from the tier's numerous Steel-types such as Jirachi, Registeel, and Hisuian Goodra; while Jirachi and Registeel are particularly effective at setting up Stealth Rock, all three are capable of offensively threatening opposing teams. Klefki also struggles with four-moveslot syndrome, as it must pick which foes are able to take advantage of it depending on which set it runs.
