Well, it seems very useful. Natural Cure absorbs status, and it makes a nice wall with recover. Leech Seed is already covered with Walrein, and it pwns any other staller in general...Celebiiiiiiiiiiii
it'll help your team alot!
Why did you assume that CM Mismagius was carrying TBolt? HP Fighting and Shadow Ball isn't resisted by anything in the game, giving Mismagius superb type coverage as opposed to Shadow Ball/TBolt.Or he can crit and I'll be screwed. Oh well, two Night Slashes from Weavile will screw him over, one to break the substitute, the other for the kill. And Weavile is neutral to T-Bolt and resistant to Shadow Ball anyway, so I'm good.
Remember, Shadow Ball/HP Fight may be a good combo, but they're still only 2 moves. After that, there's still 2 moves left over. Many Mismagius's have Thunderbolt simply because it's a good special attack and that Mismagius's movepool is very small. While the most common Mismagius out there may be the Calm Mind one with Sub, not all of them are the same, and Thunderbolt is a very common option on Mismagius and should always be predicted when one comes out.Great battle. I'm just wondering about this.

He had established at that point that he thought Mismagius was a Substitute/Calm Mind Mismagius though, which indeed it was. You can't have HP Fighting/Shadow Ball/TBolt/Calm Mind/Substitute, even though it would be nice.Remember, Shadow Ball/HP Fight may be a good combo, but they're still only 2 moves.

The thing is, Air Slash/Aura Sphere gives you neutral damage against everything except Zapdos (who you should probably switch out of anyways), and Rotom, and Air Slash deals higher damage with STAB factored in.Lack of experience I guess. D/P is my first generation where I've decided to play seriously. (Checkout my join date. More or less, thats when I started) Either that, or I just never faced a guy who used Mismagius properly. In hindsight, HP fighting + shadowball is awesome coverage, and I used it with my Togekiss (Aurasphere + shadowball)
The reason is simple: Togekiss was specifically designed to break Cress / Bliss, as well as set up nasty plots on a Starmie and non-specs gengar. (huge Sp. Def).The thing is, Air Slash/Aura Sphere gives you neutral damage against everything except Zapdos (who you should probably switch out of anyways), and Rotom, and Air Slash deals higher damage with STAB factored in.
Well I'd give my usual shameless plug for Steelix but that has a fire weak and a fighting weak. You could always go with some strange hybrid Agility/Roost/Stealth Rock/Steel Wing set, in which you could Roost and remove the rock nuetrality. Unfortunetely with hail you'd HAVE to Roost since Lefties would be nullified. Registeel also resists rock, but has the same fire/fighting weak problems as Steelix. At least it isn't weak to water.I was actually thinking Salamence / Dragonite (Alteria? o.O). But that would change my team from a 4-rock weak to a 5-rock weak >_> (Abomasnow, Weavile, Walrein, Froslass, and *insert dragon here*).
I'm not sure if I noted this before, but a rock resist is perhaps the most critical for my team. Another reason for me sticking with the ground typing.
Because of that, Rhyperior might actually be a decent choice however. I'll probably have to look for a tentacruel replacement though.
