dd aero spikes offense

by eifo

DD Life Orb Aero is just the best Aero set in my view. DD lets it sweep offensive teams or weaken defensive mons such as Milotic for Sharpedo and Cobalion for Zarude. Endure Custap Metagross is an amazing tech that always puts in work. It is incredibly consistent. The same goes for Sash Heracross, which in my view is currently the best Spikes setter in the tier. Guts is the best ability on it, as it often gets status inflicted. For instance, it helps with the Suicune match up. Mimikyu + Sharpedo is a tried and true offensive core. They're great at taking advantage of Spikes, and in conjunction with endure Custap Meta they give the team a strong match up vs all kinds of cheesy strategies, be it Screens, Rain, Sun or TR. Scarf Rock Slide Zarude rounds out the team nicely. Rock Slide is primarily for Togekiss, although it also does more to Noivern, Crobat and fire types such as Salazzle.
