>>15653115I've used it VGC with a scarf with pretty good success. Lightingrod is a surprisingly useful ability in higher-level doubles play, and amazing for trolling in lower-level play.
IIRC it had a speed increase in Gen 6 which puts it above Garchomp, which it desperately needed. Sash it up, give it HP Ice, Thunderbolt, Grass Knot and filler (does it get volt switch?) and you'll have a surprisingly powerful attacker. It does largely benefit from catching people off guard though.
