Gen 9 RU Offensive Lycanroc-Dusk

Lycanroc-Dusk (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Tough Claws
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature/Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Accelerock
- Close Combat
- Rock Slide
- Sucker Punch/Protect

Alright. So this is rly offensive dusk form lycanroc if it wasn't obvious. He's ev trained to hit as fast as hard as possible and Adamant Nature because I feel like he's already fast enough. Sucker punch for Coverage priority but if you don't want 4 ATTACKING MOVES or if ur already comfterbale with accelrock as priority I give protect, not everyone will agree with this but no set is clearly the best. Anyways, Rock slide is for another Rock STAB and the 30% chance to flinch is rly nice, if you wanna outspeed more targets even with 319 speed or you feel like the attack stat is already good you can run jolly. Accelrock is for STAB priority and to finish off low hp targets. And finally Close combat is for Coverage, So thus lycanroc with life orb + tough claws generally just wants to attack as much as possible before dying, since pure rock is a TERRIBLE defensive typing. So that's all to say about this lycanroc!

Lycanroc Dusk Form Offense Moveset

Lycanroc-Dusk (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Tough Claws
Tera Type: Flying / Rock
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Close Combat
- Tera Blast / Crunch
- Drill Run
- Stone Edge

I will admit, though Lycanroc-Dusk remains one of my favorite Pokemon, I do not like its stats. But if we're talking RU Singles, then it's a quick hitting, strong Pokemon.
Let's get down to it. I gave mine a Choice Band to increase its offensive capabilities even more. Tera Flying is for coverage against Ground, Fighting, and Grass- but the normal Tera Rock STAB is also viable. Slowbro is a common threat in the RU tier, so Crunch is an attempt to grapple with it. Or you could use Tera Blast after you Terastallize as to surprise attack Grass and Fighting. Drill Run goes through Steel types, like Close Combat, a solid all-out attacking move. Finally, Stone Edge is STAB. There's no need for Lycanroc's signature Accelerock- with a high Speed stat, priority shouldn't be a problem.
Well, hope I helped! Fizzbot please upvote me like that other person. I bet it was Fizz though~
