• Breloom makes an exceptional partner. Fake Out support allows Breloom to Spore potential threats without fear of being double targeted. Supposing the selected Pokemon was faster than Breloom, this provides a guaranteed sleep turn allowing Liepard to Swagger/Foul Play safely.
  
• Pokemon that appreciate Fake Out support. For example, M-Gengar on Perish Trap (Disable can have good synergy with Encore), Substitute users such as M-Metagross and Heatran, Users of Tailwind and Trick room, Set up Pokemon such as Dragon Dance M-Mence
  
• Thundurus can be used to reduce the chances of the opponent being able to move through Parafusion.
  
• Offensive Pokemon that appreciate the use of Protect being discouraged.
  

• Quick Guard users in general. In particular, Terrakion can be difficult to deal with as it can carry Quick Guard, resists Foul Play and can switch in to a Swagger if they are carrying a Lum berry, while being able to OHKO with Close Combat.
  
• Faster Prankster Taunt users such as Offensive Thundurus and Whimsicott can render Liepard almost useless.
  
• Physical attackers, particularly ones which resist Foul Play. Without a reliable way of dealing with these threats, you will be forced to take a coin flip with Swagger.
  

• Protect - Liepard can often be a win condition, and while not standard having a 100% chance to not take damage for a turn can be game changing.
  
• Thunder wave - For a team lacking speed control, Liepard can slow down certain threats, as well as giving Parafusion options.
  
• Taunt - For preventing opposing gimmicks, setup, recovery and shutting down more defensive Pokemon like Amoonguss.
  
• Fake Tears - Liepard can turn 2HKOs by its partner in to OHKOs through reducing an opponent's special defence. Pokemon that appreciate this include Zard Y and Offensive LO Thundurus.
  
• Knock Off - For removing an annoying item such as berrys and choice items.
  
• U-turn - Useful particularly on Perish Trap to reset the turns of Perish Song.
  
• Sunny Day/Rain Dance - Used mostly to prevent opposing weather, however can be used as a surprise tactic.
  

• Focus Sash - Liepard can be very frail and being guaranteed to survive at least one hit can be useful. However, as Liepard is often paired with Breloom, the Focus Sash is often not available.
  
• Safety Goggles - Allows Liepard to deal with Amoonguss more easily, as it avoids redirection and spore.
  
• Mental Herb - Improves Liepard's match up against fast Taunt users.
  

• Although gimmicky and unviable, Liepard can be seen on 'void cat' teams, where the team is made up of Pokemon with moves that cannot be used through the move assist, such as Focus punch and Dragon Tail, as well as Dark void Smeargle causing Liepard to always use Prankster Dark void.

Liepard @ Focus Sash  
Ability: Prankster  
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe  
Jolly Nature  
- Protect  
- Encore  
- Fake Tears  
- Foul Play

Fake Tears is such a powerful move to have when you are paired with a Special Attacker, especially Mega Gengar with his trapping.
