But you mentioned "using spikes" to weaken the counters, when it just isnt the case. DDtar works just as well with spikes as without. Spikes are obviously better than nothing, but if a team doesnt have a spiker, it has something else, well it should have something else.

Being standard or not is not the issue here, he wanted to make his team "so that it works" So i provied him advice on how to do so.

Yes, by telling him to make everything standard. You seem to be binding the words "standard" and "team that works", as if they share the same meaning.

How is status not a problem here? If he relys on only on pokemon such as snorlax to absorb status just because it has rest, other player will see it as a opputunity to set up.

lol. So Skarm will come in on a Zapdos and spike? GL during your future battles doing that. Snorlax can have spikes set up on anyway, your opponent predicting a rest, and you predicting a spiker switch in are equal possibilities.

And that further proves my point, while his "status absorbers" are sleeping, theres a risk that the opponent might set up spikes.
