Only thing that's a problem is switching into thunder punch, but the way you show it, it won't always have that. Fun fact: the damage calculator on showdown doesn't have fell stinger avalible.

Double resists leaf blade. Can set up a qd and ignore your sub with bug buzz, which does neutral damage.

(Also, Shadow Claw is a waste of move, it has almost the same coverage that Nigth Slash has, but without the STAB, there will be no situation where Shadow Claw will be usable in that set. You should use Sucker Punch instead for priority)

I tried this in a Volt-turn core a while back because I thought it'd be a fun troll, and it was a lot more effective of an offensive threat than I planned it to be. This set works so well because most ppl will expect it to be defensive, and will stay in versus it in disadvantageous situations, allowing it to break through a lot of things early on. This also works to his advantage versus Azu because it'll either switch, not wanting to deal with a poison move, or set up, thinking it can survive a hit, kill it with +6 KO on the outspeed, and proceed to sweep; but that said, if Azu sets up, he's done.

252+ Atk Choice Band Toxapex Poison Jab vs. 92 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 324-384 (89 - 105.4%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO​

Laughs at toxic spikes and poisen jab. Payback will only make it stronger. As long as it doesn't switch into liquidation, which should be easy enough to avoid doing unless the switch gets predicted, it can set up sd and then OHKO with earthquake.

Outspeeds Mantine by a long shot. Stoked Supersurfer is a guaranteed one hit when focus sash not present. Other moves for coverage or stab. Extremespeed for Deoxys-S, albeit irrelevant. Tried this in tourneys, decent sweeper.

Bulky poison types shut down all variants of Mimikyu because they resist all his coverage moves.
