I'm not sure about that. I've never tried that, plus it's hard for me to keep track of what stat boost(s) each Horde Mon gives, so I just ST. Sure, ST takes longer, but I'm patient enough to sit through it.
Well, I'm already bringing the Arcanine in my current competitive team along for the Kanto competition, along with Wigglytuff, Jolteon, Sandslash, Slowbro, and Articuno (my team couldn't possibly be the same without an Ice type). I'm also gonna bring along a Venusaur, Jynx, Gengar, and Dragonite to rotate my team from time to time, though I kind of just wanna troll the competition with a Venusaur named Pingasaur, and all the Jynx haters by having Jynx around
