Choiced Attacker

Fenskito @ Choice Band / Choice Scarf Ability: Defiant Jolly Nature / Adamant Nature EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe - Knock Off - Close Combat - U-Turn - X-Scissor

Fenskito is a very threatening choiced attacker due to its strong Knock off which allows it to make progress for the rest of its team. It compliments this Knock Off with strong coverage in Close Combat. These strengths are then bolstered by its ability, which allows it to effectively deny much of what Landorus Therian tries to accomplish. On top of this, with Choice Band, Fenskito has some rolls to OHKO Landorus Therian at +1 from Intimidate proccing. U-Turn is perhaps Fenskito's strongest tool which allows it to maintain momentum while also dealing a large amount of damage due to STAB.

Team Options

Weaknesses

Fenskito suffers mainly due to the fact that there are a large number of Pokemon in OU with strong Knock Offs that it might not be justifiable to choose it over something like Samurott Hisui, Tyranitar-Mega, or Kingambit. Fenskito does have its advantages of course, especially in that it is faster than all of those Pokemon at base which allows it to threaten some things, or get a kill that they wouldn't be able to manage. And with Defiant, it allows Fenskito to threaten a lot of new options.
