A good user for prankster?

I’m thinking Thundurus or Sableye but I want a bulkier Pokemon,someone that can take a few hits.I would like your recommendation,too.I would also really appreciate it if you could give the move sets,items and such too.

Thanks for helping!

well, there two Pokemons that can abuse the ability prankster very well. these areklefki and sableye

klefki can use prankster thunder wave and swagger to really annoy the opponent and guarantee at least two layers of spikes or dual screens with a sash, and sableye has the incredibly useful prankster taunt and prankster Will-O-Wisp along with prankster recover which makes it a good staller hard to break. who I would recommend depends on your team. if you are somewhat weak to physical attackers and hazards, use sableye. if you have many frail sweepers and needs dual screen or if you use sweepers that can’t hit someone hard enough without spikes, use klefki. whimsicott should be used only if your team are really weak to set up sweepers, and believe me. prankster encore is extremely annoying. ye, your opponent wants to kill you. heres the recommended sets

Klefki @ Leftovers / Light ClayAbility: PranksterEVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SpdBold Nature- Spikes- Thunder Wave- Reflect- Light Screen

Sableye @ LeftoversAbility: PranksterEVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SpdCalm Nature- Recover- Night Shade- Taunt- Will-O-Wisp

Whimsicott @ LeftoversAbility: PranksterEVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 SpdBold Nature- Encore- Leech Seed- Taunt / Moonblast / Energy Ball- Substitute

These are all the Pokemon that get the ability prankster:Banette-Mega, Cottonee, Illumise, Klefki, Liepard, Meowstic, Murkrow, Purrloin, Riolu, Sableye, Thundurus, Tornadus, Volbeat, Whimsicott.The most used ones are Klefki(although not so much), Sableye and Whimsicott, Thundurus can also make goos use of it but by asking what is the best prankster user I assume you didn’t mean to set up Nasty plot’s and such.

Your best bet would in my opinion be Sableye. Here are some good sets for Sableye:

100% PrioritySableye @ LeftoversTrait: PranksterEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDefCalm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)- Recover- Taunt- Will-O-Wisp- Toxic

Mean lookSableye @ LeftoversTrait: PranksterEVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 DefCalm Nature- Mean Look- Toxic- Will-O-Wisp- Recover

TrolleyeSableye @ LeftoversTrait: PranksterEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDefCalm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)- Recover- Substitute- Will-O-Wisp- Confuse Ray

TrickeyeSableye @ Iron BallTrait: PranksterEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDefCalm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)- Recover- Trick- Will-O-Wisp- Taunt

I’ve used all of these sets before and they work very, very well if used correctly, that’s why in my opinion Sableye still out-classes Klefki.
