Toxicroak @ Lum Berry
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off

Christo came up with this set originally. Lum Berry + Knock Off lures Sableye that expect to get off a Will-O-Wisp and Recover stall. Doublade, another hard counter to Reuniclus, is also lured by Knock Off, especially if your opponent attempts to win the supposed Sucker Punch mindgames and lets you get an extra SD.

+2 252+ Atk Toxicroak Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Sableye: 255-300 (83.8 - 98.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+2 252+ Atk Toxicroak Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Doublade: 190-224 (59.5 - 70.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Toxicroak with Knock Off is a good lure and actually a good wallbreaker

Mr. Highways yes shadow ball is better versus Doublade but hp fire still hits it for decent damage and hits Escavalier as well which is a very bad mon for Reuniclus to face. Also it's hilarious to prevent forry from spinning/set up hazards with Whimsicott
