I checked on Porygon-Z's analysis, that the standard set for a Nasty Plot sweeper is:
Nasty Plot
Tri Attack
Dark Pulse
Ice Beam/HP Fighting
When you see hoe useful IB is and how difficult it is to get a good HP, we can assume Ice Beam will be the standard.
But hey: A normal/Dark/Ice can't even hit a steel type at neutral damage! So it has a terrible type coverage!
Wouldn't the old standard (and reliable) Boltbeam combo be a better choice due to it's type coverage? It covers everything DP/IB does (it certainly will have some trouble to deal with Dusknoir, but I don't see Gengar as threat) and won't be walled by non-Psychic steel types.
Magnezone will still be a problem, it doesn't matter which set, unless you're running HP Fight.
So, what do you think?
