Yeah Bruxish is super strong. It's typing also allows it to set up on a lot, especially with Tera reversing its Ghost- and Dark-type weakness. Bruxish is an amazing balance destroyer and wallbreaker paired best with sweepers like Choice Scarf Flamigo or Shift Gear Toxtricity.
 
A small addition to the previous post that Tera Dark isn't actually needed for either of those OHKOs, leaving you free to use Tera elsewhere.

How do we feel about the fighting types in the tier? Primeape, Flamigo, Heracross?
Primeape is probably the lesser good of the bunch but fairly decent against more balance oriented teams thanks to Bulk Up Rage Fist.
Flamigo is the most versatile of the bunch and probably the best one, usually running Scarf or Band but also being perfectly fine as an SD attacker.
Meanwhile Heracross functions pretty much the same as last gen except now it can make use of Trailblaze in Flame Orb sets to be more of a potential wincon rather than just a breaker.
Tauros and Hariyama are also very decent options that can run defensive or more offensive sets with Scarf and Belly Drum respectively.
