Grass/Steel is one of the best typings in the game and probably the best in terms of switching into (bulky) waters and beating them. That said I really love Nuttre and there are very obvious sets.
Laying down Spikes:
Fantastic bulk on both sides (74/131/116) with amazing resists and it can still keep offensive momentum (94 base attack, Gyro Ball coming from something with 20 base speed = 150 base power, Explosion and Power Whip). You can switch on next to every water type and lay down your Spikes. Amazing. Leech Seed can cripple the switch-in.
Curse set:
While being walled by Heatran and the new Ghost/Fire it is a force in rain (poli). Weaker HP Fire coming from the likes of Celebi doesn't bother and Gyro Ball gets extreme levels of power (150bp). Too bad it doesn't get EQ. PS: Blaziken and Ghost/Fire won't enjoy Gyro Ball, Heatran and Skarmory wall this set.
Shed Shell is a must-have. You don't want to give the new Ghost/Fire 6CM boosts and Magnezone (w/ HP Fire) is also quite annoying. I'm quite sure Ghost/Fire is going to be very popular with Shadow Tag, not like Magnezone who is seen only casually.
It seems like Nuttre is best friends with bulky Gyarados, Tentacruel, new Water/Ghost and Fire/Ghost. They cover their weaknesses quite well. The latter two can RS block the Spikes.
Thunder Wave is meh. You won't outspeed lots of Pokémon even when they are paralyzed (hello 20 base speed). Crippling switch-ins like Blaziken, Heatran and Ghost/Fire is still nice.
