Explanation of Set
It's pretty much the same old Hippowdown. He still has amazing physically bulky stats, and reliable recovery... and innate stall capabilities... so why not use him?
Losing Stealth rock frees up another move slot in Hippowdon's repertoire - allowing you to take an additional attack. Ice Fang counters Dragons easily, while Stone Edge hits Flying types.
