Explanation of Set
If you were ever wondering how Masquerain could ruin your day, this is it. So, Masquerain switches in on an attack from your physical sweeper - lowering his Attack with Intimidate. It takes the hit nicely - and as your attacker is now far less effective - and facing down a physically bulky wall, so you switch out. And, as you do - the Masquerain gets a Quiver Dance up. Ruh-roh. Now its specially bulky, and its Scald packs a real punch.
Basically, switch in, set up, Roost off any damage you take - then dent everything as much as possible while keeping yourself healthy. If you would prefer to pass the Quiver Dance boosts to a different Poke - you can replace Roost or Ice Beam with it.
