[SET COMMENTS]
With access to nearly unresisted First Impression and U-turn due to Tinted Lens, Lokix is an amazing revenge killer for Bug teams. Its ability to scare out many common threats such as Espathra, Chien-Pao, and Dragapult is highly valuable. Lokix struggles to break past many physically defensive walls like Quagsire, Dondozo, and Corviknight; however, it can pivot in teammates—such as Vivillon and Volcarona—that can beat them. A Choice Band with an Adamant nature maximizes Lokix's damage output and can utilise Axe Kick to lure and defeat Steel-types like Kingambit and Iron Treads. Alternatively, Life Orb avoids a Choice lock and makes use of Sucker Punch to pick off threats that First Impression alone cannot such as Gholdengo and Flutter Mane. Throat Chop lets Lokix deal good unresisted STAB damage and prevents Skeledirge from using Torch Song, which is extremely valuable and one of the reasons Lokix is a necessity for Bug teams.

Lokix is highly susceptible to entry hazards and is often not quite strong enough to OHKO many Pokemon. Forretress is a great entry hazard remover and entry hazard setter, fixing both of those issues. Forretress also has a good defensive profile, acting as a sponge for absorbing damage, and it can even form a VoltTurn core with Lokix. Scizor removes Fairy-types that threaten Lokix such as Hatterene and Iron Valiant and allows Lokix to clean up after it has done enough damage. Volcarona takes care of Steel-types that don't fall to Axe Kick such as Corviknight and Scizor. Lokix can remove Ghost-types—such as Gholdengo, Dragapult, and Flutter Mane—to enable Slither Wing and Heracross, letting them spam their powerful Fighting-type moves and clean up after Lokix. Frosmoth can deal with many bulky Ground-types—such as Garchomp, Great Tusk, and Ting-Lu—and Vivillon improves the Fighting-type matchup by beating Great Tusk, Gallade, and Paldean Tauros-W and can answer Dondozo with the combination of Sleep Powder and Energy Ball. Masquerain can set up Sticky Web, which gives Lokix an amazing Speed advantage versus Iron Treads, Iron Moth, and Walking Wake, making Life Orb Lokix immensely threatening.

With access to unresisted First Impression and U-turn due to Tinted Lens, Lokix is an amazing revenge killer for Bug teams. Its ability to scare out many common threats such as Espathra, Chien-Pao, and Dragapult and Volcarona is highly valuable. (3 examples is fine and Volcarona is far from a good example anyway due to Flame Body) Lokix struggles to break past many physically defensive walls just as Quagsire, Dondozo and Corviknight, however it can U-turn out of these to bring in its teammates that can beat these (teammates such as what? List a couple examples that beat the aforementioned 3 Pokemon) making it a good pivot. A Choice Band and an Adamant Nature maximises maximizes Lokix's damage output and can use Axe Kick to beat even Kingambit, and Iron Treads. (I would reword this to something along the lines of “lure and beat Steel-types that would switch into Lokix otherwise such as Kingambit and Iron Treads”, explaining Axe Kick with more usage tips than type matchups) Alternatively Life Orb can be used to be able to switch moves and make use of Sucker Punch to pick off threats that First Impression alone cannot such as Gholdengo and Ceruledge. Throat Chop lets Lokix deal massive good unresisted STAB damage and prevent Torch Song from Skeledirge which is extremely valuable for Bug teams.

Lokix is highly susceptible to entry hazards and is often not quite strong enough to OHKO many Pokemon, Forretress comes in here as a great hazard remover and hazard setter fixing both of those issues, and even forms a Volt-Turn core with Lokix. Scizor removes the Fairy-types that threaten Lokix such as Hatterene and Iron Valiant and allows Lokix to clean up after it has done enough damage. Volcarona takes care of Steel-types that don't fall to Axe Kick such as Corviknight and Scizor. Lokix can remove Ghost-types such as Gholdengo, Dragapult and Flutter Mane to enable Slither Wing and Heracross letting them spam their powerful Fighting-type moves and clean up after Lokix. Frosmoth can deal with many bulky Ground-types such as Garchomp, Great Tusk and Ting-Lu and Vivillon improves the Fighting-type matchup by beating Great Tusk, Gallade, and Tauros-Paldea-Aqua and Blaze. (Vivillon is also a good Dondozo answer with Sleep Powder + Energy Ball, which is huge for Bug since it struggles vs Dondozo)

Throat Chop lets Lokix deal good unresisted STAB damage and prevent Torch Song from Skeledirge (This sounds a bit off, would reword to "prevent Skeledirge from using Torch Song" as it sounds more clear) which is extremely valuable for Bug teams.

Lokix is highly susceptible to entry hazards and is often not quite strong enough to OHKO many Pokemon, Forretress comes in here as a great hazard remover and hazard setter fixing both of those issues, and even forms a Volt-Turn core with Lokix. (I would separate the VoltTurn core part of this sentence and make a new one out of it, while including Forretress' good defensive profile) Scizor removes the Fairy-types that threaten Lokix such as Hatterene and Iron Valiant and allows Lokix to clean up after it has done enough damage. Volcarona takes care of Steel-types that don't fall to Axe Kick such as Corviknight and Scizor. Lokix can remove Ghost-types such as Gholdengo, Dragapult and Flutter Mane to enable Slither Wing and Heracross letting them spam their powerful Fighting-type moves and clean up after Lokix.

Alternatively Life Orb can be used to be able to switch moves and make use of Sucker Punch to pick off threats that First Impression alone cannot such as Gholdengo and Ceruledge (cerul isnt an ideal example due to shadow sneak, Flutter Mane might be a good shout though). Throat Chop lets Lokix deal good unresisted STAB damage and prevents Skeledirge from using Torch Song which is extremely valuable for Bug teams (take note that beating skele is probably one of the things why Lokix is used).

Lokix is highly susceptible to entry hazards and is often not quite strong enough to OHKO many Pokemon, Forretress comes in here as a great entry hazard remover and entry hazard setter (provides entry hazard support?) fixing both of those issues. Forretress also has a good defensive profile being able to act as a sponge for absorbing damage and can even form a Volt-Turn core with Lokix. Scizor removes the Fairy-types that threaten Lokix such as Hatterene and Iron Valiant and allows Lokix to clean up after it has done enough damage. Volcarona takes care of Steel-types that don't fall to Axe Kick such as Corviknight and Scizor.

(Add masq, its ability to set webs turns Lokix' ehh speed to alright)

With access to unresisted I would say nearly unresisted, since there are still quad resists in the tier, even if rock types are much less common First Impression and U-turn due to Tinted Lens, Lokix is an amazing revenge killer for Bug teams.

Alternatively,(ac) Life Orb can be used to be able to switch moves avoids a Choice-lock I believe you mean to imply this; if not, just remove "to be able" and makes use of Sucker Punch to pick off threats that First Impression alone cannot such as Gholdengo and Flutter Mane. Throat Chop lets Lokix deal good unresisted STAB damage and prevents Skeledirge from using Torch Song,(ac) which is extremely valuable and one of the reasons Lokix is a necessity for Bug teams.
