Liepard Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Liepard can work for a story run. 446 BST is average, but Dark typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Don't let Liepard's 446 base stat total fool you. Prankster is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a pivot. Encore with Choice Band is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Prankster on Liepard. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Liepard also gets Limber and Unburden, but they don't compare.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Prankster is the hidden ability. It raises non-damaging moves' priority by one stage. Worth hunting for if you want Liepard to compete at a higher level.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Liepard has appeared in 8 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
