Strategy:
I like this Donphan variant the most. I'm not a fan of the Outrage version, so if you have any recommendations, try to keep the dragons out of it.

You'll hopefully start with a Phanpy or Hawlucha. Use Donphan's Spinning Turn to switch into a Trevenant, if you have one set up, to get the item lock in place. Retreat into Donphan with Float Stone to keep the train rolling. You can also switch into a substitute after using Spinning Turn to bide some time, or a Hawlucha to free-treat into Donphan again. Wreck can be used as a last resort. Any changes you'd make?
 
Personally the only thing I find particularly 'weird' is having 3 Float Stone + Switch for 3 Pokemon that only really need it. I personally would take a Stone out for a card like a VS Seeker, although there is nothing that really screams 'need' to me.
 
Yeah, I am a bit heavy on the Float Stones. The Switch is, I guess, in case the Stones get Megaphoned or are a mixture of Megaphoned/prized. I was thinking of dropping one, maybe even the Switch as well. Thanks for the input!
