@go10 Choice pokes are crucial to offensive teams particualarly scarfers as an HO tends to forfeit the ability to directly respond to a number of Pokes for options to gain and keep momentum.

here is another Great offensive Poke SD Ray

Rayquaza @ Life Orb
Trait: Air Lock
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Outrage/Dragon Claw
- Earthquake/Overheat
- ExtremeSpeed

slower than the DD set but much more powerful EVed to outspeed the base 90s, Outrage vs. DC is power vs. not being locked into a single move, EQ vs. Overheat is really dependent on partnership overheat is nice when paired with E-Speed-killer Arceus but no Groudon (whereas Arceus would do better as it gets Pseudo-STAB on Overheat), E-Speed is to beat fast but frail Pokes.
