Thanks for the kind words and suggestion. I think I'm going to stick with my current moveset for the time being however for the reasons Agent Dell outlined.

@Agent Dell
Braviary actually is an interesting suggestion and I might try that out. It definitely sounds like a great idea, I'll just have to test out if there's anything I miss with some semblance of Normal/Flying/Fighting/Bug coverage that I would have hit with Normal/Rock/Grass/Bug coverage and the ability to hit through subs.

@FLCL
You're right about Linoone, I completely overlooked how well Ditto handles it. I suppose it's only as big a threat as anything I only have one way to check after it sets up. You're also right about Throh if it's not the last mon, since eventually I'll be able to get Ditto in and pull off some semblance of a counter sweep. As the last mon standing however, it can be problematic if played well and with good prediction since Absol and Cinccino are weak to Circle Throw, Alomomola and Camerupt can't do much to stop it setting up, and any switches I make can be canceled out by Circle Throw. I'll admit with smart play on my part it's definitely beatable, but it certainly requires me playing a lot smarter than against some other threats.
