This set is excellent for wall breaking. Skarmory and Blissey do not stand a chance. With its awesome speed and attack it will do tons of damage to most Pokemon. Grass Knot will destroy bulky waters and grounds after Nasty Plot. The other two moves will sweep most other things. However, be aware that he can die very easily. Fire Blast can also take the place of Flame Thrower for added power.
