I was thinking of a Substitute-Thunder Heliolisk with Surf Politoed as a doubles partner. Heliolisk would heal the sub damage from the surf and rain and have 100% Thunder.
It just sounds cool in my head but I don't know if it's actually good.
Slightly slower but about as strong with better coverage. But as far as offense and defense it's nearly the same as a jolteon but with both water and ghost immunities. And a fighting weakness.
110 speed is still fast enough to reliable outspeed most things that aren't scarfed with a timid nature.
A set like this IMO:
Spoiler
If i had to guess at how 'viable' he'll turn out to be i'd say heliolisk will probably be solid in UU, maybe seeing some niche usage in OU.
