>>22287266It's good as an answer to rain in VGC (or at least was in 2014, haven't run it yet in the new meta) thanks to Freeze-Dry being 4x effective against the standard Ludicolo/Swampert/Kingdra sweepers and being able to balk most attacks thrown at it.
It's a bit specialised, though, so it's probably garbage in singles where you have to bring it every game.
