The strong Grass type suggestion is because not only Suicune but Rotom-W, Milotic, Gastrodon, Swampert, Politoed and other common support water types in VGC give your team problems
And P.S. Suicune is commonly used. Not the set I encountered but the mon itself is still a threat to your team.
Rage Powder stops you from single target moves, not spread moves. Pokemon that use spread moves can sponge Sharpedo's attacks with ease and retaliate destructively.
Aerial Ace Tyranitar doesn't give you easier matchups with Venusaur. I suggested Ferrothorn for the sole reason of it being able to take on opposing Grass and Water types with relative ease.
Tyranitar is too slow and frail of a Pokemon for it to be a stable Taunter.
Leer beside physical attacks worst best if you use a Prankster Pokemon
