In the first set, highlight on the fact that Swords Dance differentiates Sandslash from Donphan in giving it the power to defeat bulky Ghosts in UU. That's really all it has going for it. At least Sandslash also outspeeds things like Clefable (who sits at 60 base compared to Donphan's 50 and Sandslash's 65). Support should be moved to OO for as long as this Update focuses on UU uses. Choice Band is obviously done better by Donphan, but Sandslash does have better Speed to beat Weezing, Tangrowth, Hariyama, and Clefable.
