[SET COMMENTS]
- Great revenger or powerhouse
- CC is the standard STAB move
- Megahorn gives good coverage with CC and is another STAB
- Stone Edge hits Flying-types like Tornadus-T and Thudurus-T
- Night Slash is over Pursuit to guarantee the OHKO against Chandy
- Pursuit works better with Band so yea
- Moxie is better with Scarf but Band can use either ability
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Sweeper spread because that's Hera's thing
Jolly to always beat Chandy - Pretty much no other options on this set; don't use EQ
- Chandy can catch you locked into either STAB so watch out
- Tornadus in either forme can outspeed and OHKO Band
- Watch out for Flying-types as they resist both STABs
- Magnezone makes for a good partner due to typing and his ability to stop
- Skarm

- Great attack and decent bulk allow for a 3 attack set
- Close Combat and Megahorn make for STABs
- Stone Edge hits flying types
- Night Slash hits Psychics and Ghosts
- Sub stops prediction reliance
- Guts is a good ability, but it's kinda useless with Sub
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Pursuit to act as a trapper
- Adamant for more power since you're not beating Scrarf Chandy anyway
- Less speed, more bulk
- Magnezone makes a good partner
- Things that can spin are good too, especially Starmie for outspeeding Thundurus-T and Tornadus-I
