>>38771223Pressure Stalling with Zapdos and Kyurem are good enough sets to be recommended by the smogdogs at least. The main thing they have over Dusknoir is the ability to heal.
I feel like the 100 Base Attack was meant to give it something to fight back with but it certainly wasn't designed to be a bulky sweeper.
Ok, if we're gonna have a thread buffing these guys how about I throw my hat into the ring?

It'd still be average but it at least stays true to what Dusknoir was intended to be.
