Overview:
- Not many changes in 5th generation
- Base 95 Speed is relatively fast for a defenvie oriented Pokemon
- Good typing and ability
- Being weak to Pursuit and U-Turn is minor problem due to its high defense
- Great support movepool
- Not more than medicore offensive stats making it a minor choice for a sweeper
- Rivalry with Cresselia. Additional support moves vs. 'reliable' recovery move

- Works well as a lead but also mid-game
- Trick to cripple potent walls, shuts down set up sweepers
- U-Turn for field advantage, great synergy with Trick
- Psychic for STAB, offers decent damage output when needed
- Thunder Wave for team support, best use after Trick
- Without Scarf still faster than neutral Base 82 (incl. Adamant 252 Spe EV Gyarados)
- Spe EVs meant to outspeed anything up to base 130's with Choice Scarf
- Like all Psychic types, it lures in Pursuit users and many Steel types, including Ferrothorn and Excadrill
- Fire-types like Heatran are best paired with it
- Counters Conkeldurr easily

- Sets up Stealth Rock easily while being able to take most opposing hits
- U-Turn for scouting opponents switch-ins and puts you in a better position
- Psychic again your main STAB move to deal some damage
- Thunder Wave to stop set up sweepers
- Yawn to force switches, with new sleep mechanics quite hard to counter
- Heal Bell to heal team mates from any unwelcome status problems
- Makes a good healing partner with Wish Vaporeon

- Access to good speed and great natural bulk makes it an excellent dual screener
- U-Turn to pseudo pass the screens
- Last slot generally best to use Psychic
- If your team still lacks SR support, feel free to use it
- ..
- Allows strong but frail sweepers to be more efficient

- Has easy time to set up Trick Room
- Yawn to force switches and gives the turn needed to set up
- U-Turn to pass to a team mate to abuse Trick Room
- Psychic for STAB and all those fighting types
