[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Cyclohm's greatest offensive threats tend to be physically oriented pokemon that don't like to switch into strong special attacks. The other kind of pokemon that try to take it down use unSTABBed special attacks. This set offers a means to deal with both.</p>

<p>Curse boosts Cyclohms already immense defense to huge heights, rendering unSTABbed Earthquakes ineffective at taking it out. One Curse Boost gives Cyclohm 240 Attack and 420 Defense. Volt Tackle is still mediocre with one boost, but makes up for it with a high Base Power.</P>

<p>Although it seems strange at first, the special attack investment is what ties the set together. At 298 SA, Cyclohm can OHKO Offensive Latias with Draco Meteor, and deal massive damage to physically oriented pokemon expecting a full physical set. The overall bulk of this set allows it to be used as hit-and-run before a Curse attempt, Draco Meteoring anything dangerous or using Slack Off on something that can't muster enough damage. Dragon Pulse does not get as many KOs, but is more consistent and can be used repeatedly.</p>

<p>Toxic is ruinious to the set, but it can boast a defeat to non-Toxic Blissey. Slack Off Recovers 203 HP each use, making Seismic Toss and Flamethrower ineffective. The high Special Defense investment catches light special attackers off guard, especially Water types who follow up with an Ice Beam that deals far less damage than anticipated. It is especially effective at sponging special attacks under Light Screen.</p>

[Team Options]
<p>Light Screen support is amazing, boosting Cyclohm's effective SpD to 460. Bronzong is an excellent partner, resisting all of Cyclohm's weaknesses while Cyclohm switches into Flamethrower effortlessly in return. Toxic can wear this set down over time, so having a Cleric is not a bad idea. Celebi is a strong candidate for its resistance to Ground attacks.</p>
HP mentioned twice is all I found wrong with it
