Hate to be that guy, but Passho Berry is a main slash on the analysis and is "the best thing" so to say.View attachment 34681

Resist berries make sets look legit. Passho tales is great for living hits from Carracosta, Poliwrath, and Simipour, it even lets it set up on pelipper. It can do stupid shit like live a torrent surf from unbootsted Simipour after rocks and take aqua jets from carracosta and kill with energy ball. With no SR, the only water move it can't take is a torrent boosted surf/hydro pump from Simipour

I'm sorry, but how exactly does this set beat Lickilicky? Body Slam is a 3HKO on Ninetales and Ninetales needs 3 calm minds before it can even think about 2HKOing Licky

This set beats Lickilicky just like the shitty Choice Band set does and is not terrible overall. This works very well against fucking Stun Spore Tangela and it helps against death foddering immensely. After 2 CM you set up on Pelipper quite easily blablabla fuck status blablabla you avoid Kecleon Sucker Punch
