This peach lives well beyond its sell-by date!
Pecharunt's massive bulk and Prankster make for an excellent wall and pivot, even able to stand up to some threats that hit it super effectively, like Great Tusk. Parting Shot's boosted priority makes Pecharunt's team frustratingly difficult to dent, and it can shut down threatening attackers by both scouting for double switches and providing easy entry points for offensive teammates; it allows for much more aggressive pivoting than other Pokemon thanks to having priority Recover to fall back on, and it leaves the Regenerator slot open for a teammate like Manaphy or Garchomp. Prankster Destiny Bond prevents Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon from simply spamming Dark-type moves out of fear of being KOed; it can also cut off powerful setup sweepers like Volcarona. Malignant Chain's poison is disastrous long-term and ensures Pecharunt isn't completely hopeless against Dark-types, while Shadow Ball can scare off Gholdengo and mildly annoy Corviknight. Pecharunt's biggest nemeses are Dark-types like Roaring Moon, as it can't switch in or use Parting Shot; as such, a reliable switch-in like Regenerator Primarina or Fluffy Corviknight is recommended.

Pecharunt's massive bulk and Recover make it a very versatile wall, even able to stand up to some Great Tusk sets. I would emphasize Prankster more in the first sentence, since it lets it function as an aggressive pivot Parting Shot's boosted priority makes Pecharunt's team frustratingly difficult to dent, and it can shut down threatening attackers by both pivoting into a wall and by scouting for double switches and providing easy entry points for offensive teammates; it allows for much more aggressive pivoting than other Pokemon thanks to having priority Recover to fall back on, and it also synergises very well with Regenerator users like Swampert leaves the Regenerator slot open for a teammate like Manaphy or Garchomp. Prankster Destiny Bond forces guessing games with Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon, which can no longer simply spam Dark-type moves out of fear of being KOed; it can also cut off powerful setup sweepers that Pecharunt's team otherwise can't handle like Volcarona. Malignant Chain's poison is disastrous long-term and ensures Pecharunt isn't completely hopeless against Dark-types, while Shadow Ball can scare off Gholdengo and mildly annoy Corviknight. Pecharunt's biggest nemeses are physical Dark-types like Roaring Moon, as it can't switch in or Parting Shot to safety; as such, a reliable switch-in like Regenerator Primarina or Fluffy Corviknight is recommended.

QC 1/1!

Pecharunt's massive bulk and Prankster make for an excellent wall and pivot, darting in and out of battle and even able to stand up to some threats that hit it super effectively, (ac) like Great Tusk. Parting Shot's boosted priority makes Pecharunt's team frustratingly difficult to dent, and it can shut down threatening attackers by both scouting for double switches and providing easy entry points for offensive teammates; it allows for much more aggressive pivoting than other Pokemon thanks to having priority Recover to fall back on, and it leaves the Regenerator slot open for a teammate like Manaphy or Garchomp. Prankster Destiny Bond prevents forces guessing games with Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon, which can no longer from simply spamming Dark-type moves out of fear of being KOed; it can also cut off powerful setup sweepers that Pecharunt's team otherwise can't handle like Volcarona. Malignant Chain's poison is disastrous long-term and ensures Pecharunt isn't completely hopeless against Dark-types, while Shadow Ball can scare off Gholdengo and mildly annoy Corviknight. Pecharunt's biggest nemeses are physical (aren't special dark types also similarly problematic that this clarification isn't needed?) Dark-types like Roaring Moon, as it can't switch in or use Parting Shot to safety; as such, a reliable switch-in like Regenerator Primarina or Fluffy Corviknight is recommended.

Prankster Destiny Bond prevents Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moonfrom (little typo. It should be "Moon from") simply spamming Dark-type moves out of fear of being KOed;

Translator here. I've just found a typo. It's not a big thing, but it's nice to correct.
