Lycanroc (Midday)

Lycanroc fills two key roles: Sand Rush doubles its speed under sand, making its 112 base Speed enough to outrun and Rock Slide virtually any threat including Mega Charizard and Venusaur. Howl raises Attack for all adjacent allies including Tyranitar and Garchomp, stacking with Curse on Tyranitar and amplifying the physical core as a whole. Focus Sash ensures survival at 1 HP from a would-be OHKO, guaranteeing at least one Howl or attack. Close Combat covers Steel and Dark types that resist Rock. The minimal HP and SpD investment provides marginal bulk without sacrificing the Speed and Attack maximums.
