Ah, Breelom. Such an annoying, powerful, annoying, versatile and annoying Pokemon.

SD Techniloom is really powerful, imo, but it seems everyone has forgotten about this little wonder.

Breelom @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Toxic Heal
12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
~ Substitute
~ Spore
~ Focus Punch
~ Stone Edge

SD Techniloom has to play mindgames with Spore - will thy foe send in a random, weakened mon to take the spore? Or will he send in the counter first? With SubPunchLoom, you get to sub on the switch, pretty much removing the need for prediction. If he brings in a spore sacrifice, too bad, you're behind a sub and ready to use Focus Punch. If he brings in a counter, too bad, you're behind a sub and ready to put it to sleep. Not packing Seed Bomb may be weird, but Breelom's main switch-ins are going to be flying types that resist FocusPunch, and Stone Edge hits those super effectively.
