EDIT: As of April 15th (although we all knew it already) Gourgeist-Super outclasses Trevenant in almost every role. Trevenant's only major selling point is its ability to OHKO Rotom-W with Wood Hammer.

Trevenant
Grass/Ghost

Trevenant seems kind of like a pushover at first. Only one stat above 100, doesn't have the typing to compliment that, and a relatively small (albeit varied) movepool. Trevenant has a few tricks up its sleeves though. Its typing makes it immune to Fake Out and gives it some awesome resistances, making it an excellent Trick Room setter. Its biggest virtue is easily Harvest though - while occasionally seen on Exeggutor and Tropius (lol) last generation, they didn't quite have the stuff to make it work. Trevenant does. Will-O-Wisp and a specially defensive spread make it very hard to OHKO, at which point it eats its Sitrus Berry and often gets another Sitrus Berry due to Harvest. The thing just doesn't die.
It does have its downfalls though - it can't tank too many hits with an offensive spread and can't deal a ton of damage with a defensive spread. It basically loses to Talonflame if it doesn't have a Sub up and it can't fight off powerful Blizzards. Still though, it's an excellent Pokemon to hold a team together and a solid choice for your next team.
Sets:
Treek Room
Trevenant @ Sitrus Berry

Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Trick Room
- Wood Hammer / Horn Leech
- Shadow Claw / Phantom Force / Will-O-Wisp
- Protect
Standard TR setter here, not much else to discuss. EVs do something that I set up and promptly forgot about. Trick Room and dual STAB do their thing, which ends up being really nice against (or in!) Rain.
such wow

Ability: Harvest
EVs: 96 Atk / 252 HP / 160 SDef

This set is absolutely amazing glue for any team. Move your fucking ass to the side, Ferrothorn, tree is the ultimate cleanup wall. Substitute pressures your opponent into doubling on Tree, which is really hard to do given his impressive resistances, and he can beat almost all physical attackers since Will-O-Wisp. Horn Leech lets him shit on threatening Pokemon such as Rotom-W (2hkoed thru sitrus), while Sub lets you avoid rotom-w's burn. The given EVs survive megagar shadow ball, and you ko back with phantom force, which is a great move to troll all of the people who try to protect on the mega-evolve turn, as you're now behind a sub and about to strike them while dodging their shadow ball or anything else. Even if you're predicted, Phantom Force breaks protect so GG. Phantom Force also lets you stall for more berry regen turns, and sub lets you beat talonflame 1v1 if it's already up on the switch. I'm not kidding when i say 80+% of my games have become remove the 1 or 2 pokemon that can 1v1 tree and then cleanup wall the rest. It's spectacular and tree gives me boners.
