I was originally gonna submit something else, but at the last minute, I decided to play with Slowbro instead. After 1 Iron Defense, it can take all of Cloyster's hits pretty well, and Slowbro can 2HKO it with scald, in return. Should Cloyster get burned, it greatly improves your matchup against Cloyster. I prefer Rest cause it can heal off status, as well, but Slack Off is an equally good option because you aren't asleep for 2 turns. If you don't want to waste a mega slot or leftovers, Kee Berry is a pretty good option, however the spread would have to be something like 248 HP 188 Def and the rest in Sp Def, or if you really need a switch-in to it 248 HP and 252 Def, so it can take a Rock Blast and activate Kee Berry.
