Alright, standard as fuck, I know. However, I think Froslass could bring some helpful support to this team, and could be a great asset in facilitating a Vivillon sweep. First, Spikes are just amazing as hell, plain and simple. They force are opponent to try to Spin / Defog ASAP, and they also allow use to weaken walls which could potentially stop Vivillon (Or Cobalion, for that matter) Secondly, Thunder Wave is another great move that can completely cripple a faster attack, making is easier for Rhyperior, Xatu, and Vivillon to pull off an attack. Destiny Bond is one of the final moves, as it's great for completely removing an opponent after Froslass has set up Spikes / spread paralysis. Taunt also guarantees that the opponent can't set up hazards against us or set up. I know some people may say we have Xatu to help us get hazards up, but Xatu is used more for hazard-prevention then getting up hazards, and can also never guarantee Spikes will even go up, even if the opponent does have a Spiker. Finally, I'd like to state that even though we're using Rhyperior, this in no way means we can't use a Spike lead such as Froslass. With a base 140 Attack, Rhyperior can easily pull its weight offensively, especially with dual-EdgeQuake STAB. It can also use Roar to wrack up even more hazard damage. Overall, Froslass is a Pokemon who can easily assist the rest of the team in obtaining KOs with Spikes while also being able to spread paralysis, KO with Destiny Bond, and even function as a SpinBlocker.
