It doesn ' t provide me any benefit so it ' s pointless for me to use it . Bones and Frostees are much better imo . <| sep |> best part about playing AST is you can scare tanks by waiting for them to get to like 5 % hp before burst healing them . <| sep |> It does suck , but you can certainly do it without him . I never had a Dewgong with frost breathblizzard OR a Lapras . My go to for multiple Dragonites was ice beam Slowbro could also use Blastoise . Both of them got a nerf , but should still be good options . Rhydon and Golem are also good options , even with their weakness to steel wing . They also made Cloyster much better . Not as tanky , but should be great . Or you might just have to find a tanky pokemon that does neutral damage . Muk does well against him .
