You don't need to have the speed advantage to stop TR teams 9.9

Trick Room teams have a very hard time against just bulky pokemon, especially ones with recovery, and generally have little to no ways to quickly remove bulky Psychic-types such as Cresselia. While using powerful Dark- and Ghost-type Pokemon such as Tyranitar or Chandelure makes it a bit more difficult for them to set up TR (as well as the aforementioned strategies), you can also just take advantage of the Trick Room team's need to set up TR by using Substitute, or some sleep move. Using sleep was actually a critical component of muffinhead's brilliant RMT here, which effectively handled Trick Room teams with its variety of bulky pokemon, along with Breloom to provide a relatively fast Spore.
