what about the 4x stealth rock weakness? you can switch in porygon-z in on ghost type moves and the bulk difference isn't as major as you think, porygon-z has more special bulk than yanmega in fact.
The move "substitute" needs a special mention in OP... it's fucking broken in this tier >.>
also how is golurk not on that list. Its subpunch is great.
Rocks are not hard to keep of the field in RU due to lack of solid spin blockers. Porygon - Z is an solid poke though i think the agility LO set is alot more deadly than the choice speccs adaptability set
[SET]
name: Sub Disable
move 1: Substitute
move 2: Disable
move 3: Chip Away / Frustration\Return
move 4: (Filler) Drain Punch / Roar / Toxic / Focus Punch
item: leftovers
ability: Scrappy
nature: Jolly
evs: 212 HP / 120 Att / 176 Spe
The set works a lot like gengar's set in OU, although Kangaskhan doesn't have as many immunities as Gengar, it only has one weakness (fighting) and in RU there aren't many fighting types, heck I don't think there are any fighting types that out speed Kangaskhan in the tier, except maybe Speed Boost Combusken.
Pretty easy to use really, set up a substitute as your opponent attacks you with a fighting move then disable it, it's unlikely they'll carry more then one more fighting move, then proceed to either attack or use another support move like Roar or Toxic.
The Nature and EVs allow you to outspeed positive base 80 pokemon, mainly Gallade.
Disable works through substitute if your worried about pokemon that you substitute + focus punch like Golurk.
if you op for drain punch, it gives Kangaskhan perfect coverage combined with scrappy allowing you to hit ghost, it also has the nice secondary effect of recovering your HP allowing to set up more substitutes.
Kangaskhan can set up 101 HP substitutes blocking pokemon like clefable using seismic toss.
the thing is, kangaskan isnt bulky enough to live any attack with its substitute. even non fighting attacks will break it.
so in the end, gengar walls conkeldurr, terrakion, some scrafties, excadrill..... and more
Because Conkledurr doesn't have Payback, Terrakion doesn't have Stone Edge, Scrafty doesn't have Crunch, and Excadrill doesn't have Rock Slide. That would just be silly. -.-

oops sorry I didn't take everything into consideration.
I rarely ever see Sawk in the tier but there could be a random one.
Hitmonlee's usage was like at number 50-ish from the June Statistics, I could run max Speed but since it's uncommon enough I don't, but if you want to be cautious, you could run that spread.
I haven't seen many primeape lately but all the one's I've seen run a scarf and since it's already faster no point in running max Speed.
kanghaskan walls most sets that run ghost/fighting Coverage.
I think Bulk up Gallade that only runs drain punch and Shadow Sneak and Substitute. although the Sword Dance set forces you to use it's non stab coverage move it you block Close Combat, like Night slash or Ice Punch or Stab Psycho cut and the defence drop from Close Combat would probably let you get the KO or deal a lot of damage to Gallade if it stay in. Since you're faster you hit 1st as shadow sneak does nothing to you.
Cofagrigus that only runs shadowball and HP-fighting for coverage, ( actually thinking about it It's mummy ability could potentially cancell out kanghaskan's Scrapy ability, I haven't actually tried it out in game though but Toxic is usually enough to take out Cofagrigus that doesn't have a lum berry or Cleric)
Possibly Golurk that Run Shadow punch and Focus punch for coverage (normally it's perfect coverage but people like running a 2nd stab in EQ)
And Possibly Dusknoir, depends which Moves it's running, Usually Pain split and will o wisp and 2 attacking moves, hopefully one of them is shadow sneak.
Btw Bluemon this is RU not OU, unless you meant haunter, as it can use the same set as Gengar but it's a bit slower at base 95 speed and doesn't have focus blast.
