What are some good Prankster Fake Outers/Taunters?

2 minute read

Here’s the Moveset that the required Pokèmon should (and possibly have):

And this is my Greninja set, for those who are wondering:Greninja@Choice ScarfAbility: ProteanEVs: 252 Speed/252 Special Attack/ 4 Attack- Ice Beam- Dark Pulse- Knock Off/Mat Block- Surf

Any Pokèmon would be great for helping the Greninja out, and you can also suggest team mates as well!

Thanks!

The only two Pokemon that have Prankster, Taunt and Fake Out are Sableye and Liepard.Out of those twodefinitelygo for Sableye.

Sableye @ LeftoversAbility: PranksterEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDImpish Nature- Will-O-Wisp- Recover- Taunt- Foul Play/Fake Out

This is nice Taunting Set for Sableye to use. I wouldn'’t really recommend a Fake out on Sableye with Taunt as well to be honest. Sableye can benefit from other moves - Fake Out is pretty limited in use too. Fake Out isn’t a bad move but its better on an offensive Sableye. But this is you team and your choice, so do what you feel best is.

Although no equipped with Fake Out another good Pokemon is Thundurus

Thundurus @ Sitrus BerryAbility: PranksterEVs: 244 HP / 108 Def / 64 SpA / 72 SpD / 20 SpeCalm Nature- Thunder Wave- Thunderbolt- Hidden Power Ice- Taunt

A bulky Thundurus with Taunt and Priority T-Wave can seem a bit of a pain to take out. Taunt prevents Thundurus or his teamates being crippled and stops TR Teams.

Good Partners for Greninja

Greninja being frail and fast is more viable going all offensive. You can side Greninja with :

M-Kangashan - Fake Out + Pressure on opponent with Parental BondM-Mawile - Being Bulky it can take some hits and Greninja heavily threatens and Ground PokesCB Talon Flame - Brave Bird. Types that don’t resist cannot hang around with this guy on the looseM-Medicham- Fake Out can give Greninja an opportunity to deal with threats.

Rather than Mat Block or Knock Off go in for Gunk Shot or U-Turn.Life Orb might also be better than Choice Scarf as you’ll only stay one type and doesn’t make Protean as threatening.
