Like I said a rain-boosted surf does almost as much as EP.
LO Hydreigon surf vs 4/0Jirachi = 57-67%
LO Hydreigon EP vs 4/0 Jirachi = 72-85%
Both are only a guaranteed 2KO. On Heatran surf 1KOs as well as EP unless if the Heatran is running max HP/SDef. On Scizor surf does more than EP. On...
Really steel resisting dark is probably due to its hardness. Dark-type moves are usually physical like pursuit, sucker punch, night slash and crunch. For most steel-types that doesn't really make a difference from moves like tackle and pound, for other types it might be different.
What's the point of that? STAB dragon pulse hits almost as hard (3/4 of it), same for rain-boosted surf. There is pretty much no point for EP since it doesn't make a major difference in anything.

Double team is both broken and uncompetitive. The main reason is that double team is a complete luck-based strategy, 100% reliant on the random number generator. In other words it isn't really a strategy at all.
You really don't need much skill to use double team, because their really is no...
Yeah that could work although Toxicroak would lose ice punch that way, making it walled by Gliscor.
That sounds plausible although Latios cannot lay down stealth rocks. I suppose Scizor could be replaced with something that can learn SR?
