Roost Mantine
Remember all that Mantine bashing that I did back in the OU Viability Ranking thread and the analysis index thread? Yeah, well, I would gladly eat my words if this thing got Roost. The single biggest problem I see with Mantine is just that it relies on RestTalk for its recovery. At that point, you might as well use Gyarados and another, better Defogger. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, every viable OU Defogger has reliable recovery, and Mantine does not. Roost changes all this. Now that it doesn't have to worry about getting 3HKOed, it can actually be a great answer to things like Keldeo, Charizard Y, and the ever dangerous Landorus in a way that it couldn't before. Plus, it Defogs as well, which gives it another edge over competitor Gyarados. It wouldn't jump to the top of the viability rankings any time soon, but Roost Mantine would be a pretty cool defensive Pokemon.
As for the others, Poison Heal Gastrodon sounds pretty neat, and Dragon Dance Krookodile is also an interesting idea. Drought Typhlosion's Eruption just sounds disgusting though, no thanks.
