>>30953187Its ability, which is absolute top tier against human players, is more or less worthless because the AI almost never switches anyway.
This "only" leaves it with its 170 SpA and 130 speed and amazing movepool, so I would say it's probably solid.
I would personally use the PerishTrap set. Sub/Protect/Perish/SBall. If played correctly it will likely take down at least two pokemon minimum (pretty much the only requisite is that you don't take a big hit on turn one when you Perish Song, but most tree sets do some dumb set-up on turn one. A lot of shit also likes using T-wave, confuse ray, swagger, etc. which Sub will block.) You would need something that can take hits for your last two pokemon, since you need to switch out on the last turn. I really like Perish Song in tree but it's such a poorly distributed move, it's a hard stop to basically all the gimmicky set-up bullshit the tree likes to throw at you, especially minimize users.
(btw, does anyone know what happens in a double down caused by perish song? Who wins? I assume it's the slower pokemon.)
3 attacks+DBond is also likely quite good. It's pretty powerful and has good coverage so it can act as a potent attacker, and then it has the fast DBond for anything that will survive a hit and KO.
I don't think it has the "solos 70% of teams" potential like mega mence or lucario have, but I'd say it's a strong pick.
