This peach lives well beyond its sell-by date!
Pecharunt's massive bulk and Prankster make for an excellent wall and pivot, even able to stand up to some threats that hit it super effectively, like Great Tusk. Parting Shot's boosted priority makes Pecharunt's team frustratingly difficult to dent, and it can shut down threatening attackers by both scouting for double switches and providing easy entry points for offensive teammates; it allows for much more aggressive pivoting than other Pokemon thanks to having priority Recover to fall back on, and it leaves the Regenerator slot open for a teammate like Manaphy or Garchomp. Prankster Destiny Bond prevents Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon from simply spamming Dark-type moves out of fear of being KOed; it can also cut off powerful setup sweepers like Volcarona. Malignant Chain's poison is disastrous long-term and ensures Pecharunt isn't completely hopeless against Dark-types, while Shadow Ball can scare off Gholdengo and mildly annoy Corviknight. Pecharunt's biggest nemeses are Dark-types like Roaring Moon, as it can't switch in or use Parting Shot; as such, a reliable switch-in like Regenerator Primarina or Fluffy Corviknight is recommended.
