Flower Trick allows Meowscarada to become a great late-game cleaner against Ground and Water teams taking out threats such as Great Tusk and Greninja [Its also its only move that kills Flutterman]. Knock Off can target Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Espathra, while removing items from walls such as Toxapex's Black Sludge [Light Clay Keys, and Heavy-Duty Boots mons like Skele are also notable, probably a better mention compared to talking about Espa, at least]. Play Rough allows Meowscarada to clean through weakened Dragon teams [PR is also cool in the mirror, and deals with Scarf Valiant too]. Alternatively, Meowscarada can run Toxic Spikes allowing it to cripple foes such as Great Tusk. U-turn allows Meowscarada to pick up momentum for its team on forced switches such as against opposing Greninja.

Chien-Pao can prevent walls such as Toxapex from healing with Taunt, allowing Meowscarada to better pressure Water teams, it can also pressure Flying-types for it (its also great vs Dragon in case meow doesnt have PR, rks Mach Punch breloom, and deals with Cloddy/Amoon which wall meow).

Sableye can switch into Fighting-type attacks for Meowscarada such as Iron Valiant's Close Combat and either cripple it with Will-O-Wisp, or lock it into a Fighting move with Encore (Valiant might not be the best option since its usually special nowadays, maybe pald-tauros [for encore] or a diff Fighting type instead?). Sableye can also prevent pokemon like Clodsire or Brambleghast from setting hazards thanks to Prankster Taunt. Finally, Skuntank can ease the Fairy matchup, by being able to 1v1 Hatterene allowing it to safely setup Toxic Spikes.
