gonna have to go ahead and disagree with everyone posting about m-alakazam. we already know about its amazing stats, but trace is an absolutely great ability as well. a /cpg/fag (who let's be honest are the only ones who know what they're talking about when it comes to smogon) recently topped the ladder with a m-zam team, partly due to situations including:
>tracing landorus-i's sheer force
>tracing heatran's flash fire and getting boosted on the switch
>tracing swift swimmers to outspeed rain teams
yes, it's super frail so you have to play carefully with it, but it gets a lot more done thanks to those amazing stats than people give it credit for.
