I was sitting and thinking about what kind of dragon you could bring to a trick room team since most dragons are just so fast and it kind of struck me.
How would a min-speed Haxorus work? Lets you put a bunch of stats into it's bulk/defenses instead of speed, will always underspeed Hydreigon because of it's natural 1 lower speed than Hydreigon and if you then also slap Brave on it with 0IV speed leaves you at 91 speed - which sure, is still fast for trick room but if you're facing a non-trick room team, you're most likely going to underspeed all of them. I guess you could also just bring a min-speed, Brave Dragonite since that technically underspeeds as well but it's so common. I like the idea of using Haxorus because Life Orb 252+ Haxorus using First Impression on Hydreigon is always a guaranteed kill unless they're very, very bulky or they tera. Which they might not do if they know stats and realize there is no scenario where Haxorus outspeeds a Hydreigon unless it's choice scarf. Haxorus's natural absolutely monstroud attack would also work well with stuff like a Bronzong so that it can levitate and you have ground coverage without only the use of Earth Power on like, Torkoal.
I dunno, I just wanna use weird shit on cart while I still can before fucking Paradoxes take over and the little bit of fun I had left in ladder is sucked out by the horde of Roaring Moon/Flutter Mane/Donphans come to shit on the parade.
