Rhydon
Mantine
Vileplume
Destroyed by freeze dry but one of my favourite balance cores that covers basically every weakness and threat that's used in the meta.
mantine covers unconventional threats in the meta + walls water types apart from lanturn. Ludi, samu, scald abusers. Rhydon is spdef and cores the magmortar's t-bolt pivot and lives hp grass to kill with eq / rock blast. Basically there to cover weaknesses. Vileplume for fighting types, physcal attackers, extra check to samurott / floatzel etc etc. Also the core I used during my NLT laddering :)
