Although this is still a new strategy it has proven to be close to impossible to stop once set up and is a great check to trick room teams, unless your opponents get as good of a critical hit rng as some have had on my tests, but that's just bad luck on my part. If possible you should try to set up in front of two enemies with the same damage type, ideally phisical, and use the defensive boost that counters said type, once said defense is at x2 it should be able to withstand double targeting with supereffective damage from one of them while losing 50% HP or less from my testing, once you have either use recover until you are healthy so you can boost up further, or use a partner with healing pulse or life dew to heal you while boost, I also use Gmax-Lapras on my team which helps set up more easily if aurora veil is still up, you are welcome to use your wall setter of choice to support this strategy. Once you are happy with your boosts, unleash the ridiculous power of a superboosted stored power which 0HKO literaly anything which isn't either dark type, is wearing a focus sash, or uses protect. You do not have to worry about damage from leech seed, toxic, fire, etc... which would normally kill a sweep as your ability blocks it. However, do watch out for dragon tail, haze and clear smog users as they may undo all your hard work if you let them.
As for team options it can fit on tr teams or on defensive-balance teams, although if you want him to be able to set up trick room you'll have to give up either of it's boosts or the healing independance of recover. Even with recover, it is still very recomendable to carry dedicated healers to set up, I personally use life dew Lapras and a Clefairy I hope gets access to friend guard sooner rather than later.
P.S. Darkest Lariat ignores stat changes and thus is a great threat, so if for example a belly drum snorlax used it against me at x4 attack and went through all my defense boosts, it would be it's demise, and nobody would ever be upset about it (; .
