I don't have a spinner, but I may pick one up in the future because of SR weaknesses. I'm thinking of Forretress or Starmie, or maybe Donphan.

Since Hariyama counters Exploud and it was in first anyways... Starmie@Leftovers Natural Cure Modest 120 HP, 252 SAtk, 136 Spd -Psychic -Surf -Recover -Rapid Spin Psychic is a 2HKO. Against Starmie, Cross Chop and Stone Edge are 3HKOs. Starmie outspeeds Hariyama and can Recover more damage...
