Lanturn is a great stall pokemon in this meta. You get free switch-ins with both Volt and Water Absorb, and if you run Aqua Ring, Protect and Substitute, you can stall out Drain Punch on Conkeldurr. You can also run some water STAB to help fight sand teams.
Focus Band Tentacruel is a workable counter for both Conkeldurr- switch in on a predicted drain punch to take it out, or OHKO an Excedrill lead with Hydro Pump.
Neither of those scenarios come up? Well, it has Toxic Spikes. Oh,
so there's that. With the general lack of ghosts in this meta, its basically a superior defog.
Also, Sky Attack Red Herb Hawlucha. Sky Attack is massively underutilized IMO- even if you don't outspeed for the 30% flinch chance, it is 130bp with a high crit ratio. I haven't exactly seen the wrestlecockrel have a serious case of Four Moveslot syndrome, so I definitely consider it the preferred way to get that Unburden boost.
