Anything to counter Tyranitar as a Weather Setter this gen?
If not, then you're stuck in a bad spot. Without Sand its mediocre, even with its 300 Base attack. But with Sand its a hard thing to beat without your own Houndstone to hopefully outspeed it.
There aren't many good Normal types this gen.
Fairgiraf, Grafaiai, Arboliva, can deal with Choice Scarf sets and possibly can kill normal sets, but are otherwise weak to everything. Tera Fighting normal sets wipe out the second two, but Fairigiraf does well.
Oinkologne can get rid of Sand Rush, but is weak in every other way. And Houndstone can be swapped out afterwards anyhow.
All of these are shitmons otherwise.
