Damage multipliers this Pokemon takes from each attacking type (based on the current form).
Damage multipliers of this Pokemon's same-type (STAB) moves against each defending type.
High-firepower meta Pokémon that hit it super-effectively by type (estimated, not battle data)
Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-08)
Liepard sits at a 0.02% usage rate in singles at rank 225, effectively absent from ladder play. Its base stats offer 106 speed and 88 attacking stats on both sides, yet only 64 HP and 50 in both defenses, a fragile shell that any Prankster strategy must compensate for through Doubles Team and Baton Pass. Doubly weak to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy, a single resisted priority hit removes it before its support can land.
Playstyle:The play pattern is essentially singular: stack evasion through Prankster-boosted Double Team, then Baton Pass the accumulated boosts to a sweeper. Doubleteam leads at 14.5% and Baton Pass at 14.4%, with Copycat 8.5% and Thunder Wave 11.7% stalling the entry turn and Substitute 10.8% shielding the setup. Leftovers at 43.3% sustains, Sitrus Berry at 27.1% offers a one-shot recovery, and Bright Powder at 14.5% compounds the evasion stacking. The top Jolly 32/0/2/0/0/32 spread at 43.3% maxes the 106 base speed and dumps the rest into Attack, with Knock Off 7.3% pushing damage through. 98.7% Prankster is the entire reason this archetype functions.
In doubles Liepard sits at 0.17% usage and rank 151, still a deep fringe pick. Its 106 base speed only places it mid-tier in the format, and 97% Prankster locks its role almost entirely: lead with Fake Out to lock an opponent, then Yawn or Encore to create tempo breaks. The 50/50 defenses and 64 HP leave Focus Sash 77.1% as its sole safety net, without which it cannot consistently take a hit and contribute.
Playstyle:Liepard plays as a textbook Prankster supporter: Fake Out 24.5% locks a target for one turn, Yawn 17.8% forces switches, Encore 17.7% freezes setup attempts, and Protect 12.7% keeps it alive long enough to contribute. The priority on Fake Out is entirely Prankster-driven, and Focus Sash 77.1% ensures it survives the trade to deliver the disruption. Black Glasses 17.7% on Knock Off 8.0% adds item-removal value. The Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32 spread at 46.8% maxes both 106 speed and 88 attack, the compromise needed for both Fake Out and Knock Off to land. 97% Prankster makes everything else function.
