Assembly is almost guaranteed to be slow, and while its typing is in a relatively similar situation to psychic/ghost, even if it gets recovery, it might lack the speed to use it and at the end of the day its ability will boost defense, and only when it kills something, which it might not be able to do if it is a glorified bastiodon like I predict.
TL;DR - could be good, but it would need speed and a couple other miracles
