Competitive Crunch #4: Prankster

Hey, guys! Welcome back to another Competitive Crunch. Today I'll be discussing an ability that is pretty overpowered known as Prankster.

Prankster is an ability that will cause any non-attacking moves to have a priority level boosted by +1. (Makes the Pokemon go first)

Prankster is found on these Pokemon: Sableye, Whimsicott, Klefki, Liepard, Mega-Banette, Meowstic (Male), Tornadus, Thundurus, Murkrow, Eggsplat, Volbeat, and Illumise.

Common Prankster Strategies:

Whimsicott likes to abuse its priority to set up Substitute, use Leech Seed and Stun Spore to annoy your opponent.

Sableye used Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers and can also use Recover with priority.

Volbeat and Illumise can get off priority Baton Pass, but Volbeat is more useful because it can use Tail Glow to pass.

Klefki can learn many status moves, such as Reflect, Light Screen, and Spikes, and along with Liepard, can abuse Swagger along with Thunder Wave.

Mega-Banette can get off a priority Destiny Bond to take down your opponent with it.

Sorry for the somewhat-short post, but I didn't have much free time today so this is all I could post. Thanks for reading, anyway!
