Lycanroc: Also outclassed by Barbaracle, Tyranitar, and Rhyperior. Although the three have lower base speed, the former boosts its attack and speed with Shell Smash as well as having Tough Claws, while the latter have better bulk and a higher attack stat. Lycanroc-Dusk: Even though Lycanroc-Dusk has a high attack and speed stat along with Tough Claws, it is outclassed by Barbaracle, Tyranitar, and Rhyperior as physical wallbreakers. In Monotype, do note that the Lycanroc forms are worse, hence their low rankings. On the Rock VR, on the SS Monotype VR, Lycanroc-Dusk is C-Rank, Lycanroc is D-Rank, and Lycanroc-Midnight is UR. So, based on their Single tiers, the order going best to worst would be: Lycanroc-Dusk, Lycanroc, Lycanroc-Midnight This means Lycanroc-Midnight needs pivot support, just like the other forms. The things that make Lycanroc-Midnight the worse of the Lycanroc forms competitively is due to its lower speed stat, which allows it to be revenge killed by faster wallbreakers in addition to its poor defensive typing and mid bulk. Lycanroc-Midnight has access to No Guard Stone Edge as well as a priority move in Sucker Punch. Lycanroc-Midnight is used as a Choice Band user as well as a Swords Dance wallbreaker, which is used to clean late-game. Lycanroc-Midnight is (PU), which means Untiered, which is also known as ZU. The thing that holds Lycanroc back is the same problem as its Dusk Form, as well as struggling to get past physically defensive walls. Outside of Sand, Lycanroc still has a good speed stat along with a good attack stat, and access to Accelerock, which lets Lycanroc function as an all-out attacker and revenge killer, just like Lycanroc-Dusk. Its only useful ability is Sand Rush, which can be utilized on Sand teams in lower tiers, but they aren't really used. Despite that, Lycanroc-Dusk makes for a good offensive Pokemon in UU.
However, it has poor bulk and a poor defensive typing, meaning it requires support to bring it in. Tough Claws boosts its priority move Accelerock and coverage moves, which makes Lycanroc-Dusk a good revenge killer and all-out attacker in UU. The reason it is higher than the other Lycanroc forms is it's access to Tough Claws. Since the Lycanroc Forms are in different tiers, I'll list the tiers they are in, why they are there, and what they do in said tier. They are outclassed by all of the physical wallbreakers listed on the OU Role Compendium
I know you said OU, but none of the Lycanroc forms are viable in OU. In both Smogon Singles and Monotype singles, Lycanroc-Dusk is the best Lycanroc form.
