I believe it falls under the "simplicity" portion of this? 1000 is a nice, rounded number for everyone to start at and makes sure you don't manage to get stuck in the absolute dredges. I think Smash's...
I'd assume it's the same reason that (iirc) evasion abilities aren't banned. Flinch-hax isn't a prevalent enough "strategy" in Little Cup for Stench to receive tiering action over other, more high-priority and usage threats (such as the recent Gastly ban).

What tier and gen is this team for?
You mention wanting it to be sub-OU. This team would get completely cooked in current gen OU, so I guess that’s fair, but Ferrothorn doesn’t exist in SV so I’m assuming it’s past gen UU?
If so, Hisui-Goodra isn’t available in Gen 8 or below.
I’m not an UU...
Hatterene has Magic Bounce and Nuzzle utility along with CM/Stored Power, and I saw it on Balance decently enough when I played if I remember correctly.

With 196 Spe and a positive nature it hits 18 speed...
