Recovery, neutrality to Fighting, and not getting trapped by dugtrio come to mind as things to list.

You're completely right. Although you don't need to be rude about a reject. Should I put that in the Overview or the first set?

No. I know a lot of 3HKOs (aka chances to Slack Off) turn into 2HKOs when you don't run Careful, one of them off the top of my head being Specs Jolteon and LO Thundurus HP Ice.
Careful is too invaluable for the mixed wall. And Impish doesn't make you any more able to counter Terrakion unless it's scarfed or CB locked into Stone Edge, which Careful can counter anyway. Impish with 252 SpDef isn't beating SD Terrakion or taking a CB CC anyday either.
And don't forget that SpDef Hippowdon's biggest selling point is being able to cockblock those special attackers which will give it a chance to change the weather.
Maybe I should just change the set name to SpDef Hippo so nobody gets confused?
