Well, I faced the Stockpile set of Arghonaut the other day -- it was a beast. It took out my team easily, due to the fact that it could just shrug off any damage with Recover, then set up. As a result, Arghonaut was able to Waterfall and or Toxic it to death. To deal with this Arghonaut, I decided to run something totally different because Lunar Fang wanted me to test out something. I used a Bronzong which packed Psychic/Block/Calm Mind/Rest, which walls it pretty well. Block Arghonaut while it sets up, then Calm Mind in front of Argho. Rest off any damage done to Bronzong, and spam Psychic, although the CMs will not kick in until you PP stall Argho thoroughly. Since Zong has more PP than most Arghonauts, your opponent will be screwed with a +6 CM Bronzong.
