It's a physical pivot that can afford to take relevant special hits and do something back.
Gengar can't setup a free sub against AV Tangrowth.
Starmie is OHKOed by Power Whip.
Kingdra now has a 50% chance of not critting, which means using its -X boosts on whatever it hits.
Greninja without LO is a neutered mon.
Doesn't do much against Focus Sash lead Galvantula, I'll give you that, but also neuters LO variants who are now stuck with an unboosted 97 base SpA.
The set I use and recommended runs Impish with 252 HP, allowing it to be as effective a physical wall as it can be while maximizing survivability against as many targets in the meta with AV, boosted by Regenerator's recovery.
It's fine if you don't want to use it, but nobody is saying to play it as a special wall, in fact, it does better with a special wall to switch into after it takes a hit.
