yeah i'm a little surprised myself at his 301-streak with "that team"...i mean my second theorymoned team has sd luke in it but you wouldn't think it would be that good a poke...i'm guessing he beats a lot of crap 1-on-1 with cress, knowing that unless it's STAB SE or he's facing a OHKO poke (save fissure) cress will take out at least two pokes. very effective style but i am glad that this very topic has proven that there's a wide, wide array of teams that can be successful (because toxicstalling isn't my cup of tea in the BT lol)

and not to take anything from your friend or anyone at all but if rhydon QCed his lead poke there is a chance he'd be staring at 1-3 himself since even with LO Lucario can't OHKO rhydon guaranteed and if Rhydon gets its second of two QCs (it got me twice) against luke it really doesn't look good...kind of puts things in perspective for me. i'm not trying to "make myself feel better" as much as i am trying to point out how lame QC is and how the team I'm about to use plans on dealing with hax items specifically...
