That assault vest and safety goggles are also options.
Assault vest would go well on anything that doesn't use support moves, stuff that either lacks good support moves or doesn't need to use them..
I think Dragalge and Tyranitar would become bigger special walls while retaining good power.
Think T-Tar can rival Blissey with Sandstorm Sp. Def boost + Assault vest?
Safety goggles protects you weather damage and powder moves... I ran into something using that in the battle maison. Pretty much immune to spore, sleep/stun spore, etc.
Anyway, I'm reading around how useful Delphox will be competitively. It has high Sp. Att, Sp. Def, and speed. Its hidden ability is Magician which lets it steal opponents' held item when they're hit with an attack, barring it isn't holding anything. From what I read, stealing won't work with items that can be consumed on the same turn, AKA Fire/Psychic gems. It also won't be be able to one hit focus sash users. Focus sash will get used up before it gets stolen. It get gets access to switcheroo and apparently learns magic coat and wish as egg moves. There are probably more to it.
