Okay guys, let's talk about the revenge killing capabilities of pic related. It doesn't even need high stats. Let's give it something modest like base 100 Special Attack and base 90 Speed. It's most certainly going to learn Scald and Ice Beam so we can assume it knows those moves. Also, let's give it Choice Scarf. Now:
>252 SpA Bruxish Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Talonflame: 296-350 (99.6 - 117.8%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
That's unboosted Timid Scald, and Talonflame is very rarely at full health since it constantly takes recoil damage. Talonflame can't use Brave Bird so it's fucked.
>252 SpA Bruxish Hidden Power Fighting vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 292-348 (107.7 - 128.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
A cool possibility if you're having trouble with Bisharp since it can't use Sucker Punch.
>252 SpA Bruxish Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dragonite: 328-388 (101.5 - 120.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
If Dragonite has taken any prior damage at all (=Multiscale isn't intact), Ice Beam is a guaranteed OHKO and Scarf Bruxish outspeeds +1 Dragonite assuming it has a base Speed higher than 80. Dragonite can't use Extreme Speed.
And so on. There are a lot of different possibilities for this guy, and if the Ability prevents opponents from using Protect too, Bruxish is going to be massive in VGC. This is another great example of a Pokemon that could be insanely good just because of its Ability.

It's going to be a physical attacker with a bunch of bite-related moves.
I wouldn't doubt that it'd get Aqua Jet either.

Just like Pyroar and Empoleon are physical attackers because they have Moxie and Defiant respectively? This wouldn't be the first time GF gives a Pokemon an Ability that doesn't work with its stats at all. It could also be a mixed attacker with shitty bulk like Sharpedo.

i doubt it will prevent non-damaging priority moves like protect from working, just based off "strike" alone.
if it did...well, that would be pretty ridiculous.

strike can just mean "used" here

>>26948450
That's pretty modest now a days. Let's presume that the other stats are garbage.

>>26948450
To be fair, 110 is apparently the standard speed tier these days
