Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Liepard Best Moveset

The Sash lets Liepard ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to deal early damage, and Prankster squeezes extra value from the position. Max HP and Speed EVs push damage output.

Stall teams hate this. Liepard can spread damage across 10 types, with Normal and Fairy punishing common defensive pivots. STAB from Foul Play and Dark Pulse keeps the pressure honest on everything else.

How to Get Liepard in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

Liepard isn't available in the wild in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Start by transferring Purrloin from Black, Black 2, or Sword. The evolution path from Purrloin to Liepard is covered in the steps below.

Liepard Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Liepard's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), Pinsir (Bug), and Togekiss (Fairy), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Liepard's base 106 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Purrloin evolves into Liepard at level 20. Liepard is the fully evolved form. It sits at 446 BST in its evolved form.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Liepard can work for a story run. 446 BST is average, but Dark typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Don't let Liepard's 446 base stat total fool you. Prankster is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a pivot. Fakeout with Focus Sash is the standard set.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Prankster on Liepard. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Liepard also gets Limber and Unburden, but they don't compare.

Game Availability

Introduced in Black & White, Liepard has appeared in 8 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
