HP Fighting could be pretty nice instead of Thunderbolt as well, it just seems like you have a lot easier chance against Ferroseed, Lileep, and Pawniard than you do against Murkrow...

Both solid arguments. Dark Pulse does have decent coverage; of course, the SDef drop from SB is nice, although at +2 it wouldn't change much.
Meanwhile, lemme edit OP and add the set under discussion and calcs for it. If anyone wants to do any more calcs, it'd be greatly appreciated. Each one helps us point out threats (or therefore lack of).
