Strategy Overview
Liepard is a unique Prankster user in the VGC 2016 metagame. Its access to status moves such as Fake Tears and Encore and a faster Fake Out than Mega Kangaskhan and the uncommon Meowstic allows Liepard to perform a useful role on many teams. Liepard also has access to STAB Foul Play, which only few other threats can boast. However, it has terrible bulk and requires Foul Play to deal much damage. It has severe four-moveslot syndrome, making it difficult to fit what moves you might want onto it. It is also slower than Thundurus and Whimsicott, which also have Prankster, making it difficult to avoid getting Taunted or Encored itself.
