Base Stats

Liepard's stats are unremarkable in isolation — 64/50/50 defenses are flimsy and its 88 offenses are merely passable — but its 106 Speed is the relevant number. It outpaces most of the unboosted field and, paired with Prankster priority on status moves, lets it dictate tempo rather than win damage races.

Type Matchups

Abilities

• Limber — prevents paralysis. Niche; rarely the chosen ability.
• Unburden — doubles Speed once a held item is consumed. Usable on a Berry-based set but inconsistent.
• Prankster — gives status moves +1 priority. This is the build-around ability and the only reason to run Liepard: turn-one Encore, Taunt, Thunder Wave or Snarl, every time.

Best Moveset

Liepard wants to spend its turns disrupting, not attacking. For Regulation M-A doubles:

Prankster support

• Fake Out — flinch a target on turn one to buy tempo for your partner.
• Encore — Prankster makes this lethal: lock an opponent into Protect or a setup move and punish freely.
• Taunt — priority Taunt shuts down Trick Room setters, Tailwind users and other support leads.
• Snarl — a spread Dark move that chips both opponents while dropping their Special Attack.

Offensive flex

• Knock Off — removes items and hits hard off 88 Attack.
• Sucker Punch — priority Dark STAB to punish attackers.
• Nasty Plot + Dark Pulse / Hyper Voice — a rarer special-boost line.
• Thunder Wave — priority paralysis to cripple a faster threat.

Other tools include Foul Play, Gunk Shot, Play Rough, Throat Chop, Shadow Ball, U-turn, Substitute and Protect.

Suggested SP Spread

With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), Liepard barely cares about its mediocre attacking stats — it wants Speed and survivability. Dump points into Speed to guarantee it moves first on non-Prankster moves like Fake Out, then add HP so a single hit doesn't end its turn-one disruption. A Speed-leaning Stat Alignment suits it. Confirm the numbers in the PikaChampions team builder.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A

Liepard is a pure tempo piece. In doubles, its job is to make the opponent's first two turns miserable — Fake Out to freeze a lead, then priority Encore or Taunt to neuter a setter — while your real win conditions get to work. It is fragile and hits like a wet noodle, so it almost never trades favourably in a damage race; its value is entirely in denying the opponent free turns. It competes with other Prankster users for the role, but its raw 106 Speed gives it an edge against the rare opponents who also pack priority status, and Snarl gives it relevance against special-attack-heavy cores.
