Lately, I've been using poppy's lead Cloyster with Ho-Oh, and GOD DAMN its so good! This is by far the best offensive rapid spinner for a sun team that I have ever used! The only problem is that I don't think poppy's spread outspeeds Scarf Palkia, so I may test out a Jolly spread. Speaking of sun, I've been using this Cloyster with a rather under rated Ho-Oh set...



Ho-Oh @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Sacred Fire
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Tailwind

Okay, this is a bit different than the Tailwind Ho-Oh onsite, because while the one onsite is meant for sweeping, the one I've been using is more about playing like a regular tank Ho-Oh (though sweeping isn't out of the question). The big thing about using Tailwind over Substitute or Earthquake is that when used at the right time, its a great boon for offensive teams! For example, there have been a few times where Tailwind Ho-Oh has saved me against smashpass in conjunction with fast stuff like Terrakion! There's also always the potential for a sweep, and unlike Flame Charge Ho-Oh, Tailwind Ho-Oh isn't forced to sacrifice a huge amount of bulk to outspeed Mewtwo! And of course, unlike Flame Charge, Tailwind could help another one of your teammates sweep!
