Specially Defensive Giratina-a will phaze you out regardless of what you run. I can't say anything about Lugia though. Latios and Latias take massive damage from +1 Psystrike, it 2HKOes, but its not like Ice Beam OHKOed so...

The problem for this is, what is Grass knot going to hit? Kyogre is already get destroyed by Psystrike, and ice beam kills Groudon just like GK. I suppose you can hit Water Arceus and Rock Arceus (and hit Ground Arceus stronger) with it, but ice beam allow you to OHKO Garchomp and Rayquazza, hit Giratina-a AND O, Lugia, Dragon Arceus, and Flying Arceus stronger. I think ice beam>GK
