Usage Suggestions: Clownpiece's greatest strength is in her versatility as a general support Pokemon, with many debilitating moves to inflict various statuses on opposing Pokemon. But one should not underestimate her capability to deal damage. While her most used sets take advantage of her Prankster, an excellent ability by all means, there are many possible sets to investigate.
Clownpiece's 120 base special attack is not to be sneezed at. While not the most powerful out there, this can be used to surprise an opponent with one of her powerful fire or psychic type special moves, or potentially a Moonblast. Most opponents will take her to be no more than a support Pokemon at first glance, leaving the door open for her to surprise them with a powerful special attack.
In addition, she can come in on a Pokemon that is currently set up, use a prankster-boosted Psych Up to copy her opponent's boosts, and then use those herself. She can either follow up with one of her own special attacks, or potentially use Baton Pass to transfer those boosts onto an ally Pokemon. She can also use this in combination with Swagger to steal the attack boost for herself or an ally.
By far, however, Clownpiece's utility is greatest in Double or Triple battles. With her access to moves that cripple her opponents like Will-o-wisp, Taunt, Swagger and Hypnosis, as well as Follow Me to potentially take a hit for an ally, she can make for an excellent partner to a more offensively geared Pokemon. While in most situations her Prankster may be the most effective, in some doubles scenarios Telepathy may be used for her to evade the damage of her partner.
However, without access to Toxic, Clownpiece will find it hard getting over opposing defensive walls. In addition, some such walls can simply Rest away her status conditions, leaving her unable to do anything to them. In addition, she is very susceptible to being taken down by powerful Poison, Ghost, or Steel type moves from an opponent, given her relatively low HP and physical defense.
Decided to do these for anyone that's interested. Just for more funsies.
