Notable RU Pokemon that outclass Liepard as a sweeper: Zoroark, Weavile, Scyther, Mamoswine, Medicham, Kingdra, Hitmontop, Heracross, Golurk, Flygon, Empoleon, Snorlax, Arcanine, Staraptor, Cobalion, and Altaria. Notable UU Pokemon that outclass Liepard as a sweeper: Its bulk is also comparable to Jellicent. It also has Regenerator, meaning that it restores 137HP every time it comes in. While it may not have Blissey's 700 HP, it can reach 400HP, and still have double Blissey's defense, and a respectable amount of special defense. You need to be careful how you use Audino. Regenerator is also insanely useful for Wishpassing as well. My team also has lots of burns going around, so nether were especially useful. Thunder Wave and Toxic are for more support, but because everyone and their mother likes switching Conkeldurr into Audino, its not that good of an idea to use them. Encore is more support, though it is rather difficult to pull off, due to 50 base speed and no investment. Protect is a scouting move, and is useful for Wishing for Audino. Wish and Heal Bell support the team, for obvious reasons. It's attacking stats are awful, but thats why its there to support. However, only Audino, Delcatty, Smeargle and Chimecho are the only ones without legal issues knowing the moves, and Audino was the one that screamed "I suck" the least, so I went with it. I originally went for this set because Audino is one of a few Pokemon (Chimecho, Delcatty, Blissey, Clefable, and Smeargle) that can know both Aromatherapy/Heal Bell and Wish. But I'm surprised with how well it turned out. I didn't actually think that I would have success with this set, especially given the Pokemon using it. It's also a gimmick and a one trick pony, neither of which win games. It's outclassed heavily by a lot of Pokemon and there are just more better options. In summary: This Pokemon shouldn't be considered in OU, UU, or even the newly created RU tier. Even after a Claw Sharpen, you're still not going to be doing much damage. 64/50/50 gets wrecked by almost every move, even a not very effective move will still do a lot. Speaking of Liepard's defenses, they're absolutely horrible. If not, have fun getting OHKO'd with those pathetic defenses. Your only hope is to hit it on the switch. If Tyranitar switched in after a Pokemon fainted, you're screwed. If Tyranitar switched in on that turn you boosted you attack, you're screwed. A +1 Rock Smash only will do 50.5% - 60.4%, which is a 2HKO. The current most popular Tyranitar is Mixed Tyranitar, which runs 252 EVs in HP. Instead, take a Pokemon's most popular sets to base your calculations on. This is a not what you're supposed to do when doing damage calculations. Your calculations are implying that Tyranitar has no EVs invested in defenses.
