I surmise Huntail is on the list because Gorebyss is the generally superior Shell Break passer? Actually, Gorebyss was taken off for being the better sweeper, especially with Drizzle. Forgot about breakpassing, actually, though Gorebyss is better at that too.

So basically I'm saying Venomoth and Huntail should be taken off the list. Masquerain's typing is infinitely worse, it's much slower,and it only has Stun Spore to incapacitate. Venomoth yes, Huntail no.

EDIT: Also Gastrodon's Storm Drain is like a beefed up Water Absorb now. For all intents and purposes it's Swampert - SR + Recover. Can't believe I forgot the Storm Drain buff. Gastrodon removed.
