This is a Defensive Core I've used in LC for a long time, and it's always reliable, due to plenty of staying power and synergy. Now, the EVs are obviously different in LC, and they're all tailored to give the best overall bulk with a bit of Attack/Special Attack or Speed investement. Hippopotas sets the Sand which is crucial for this core, as when paired with hazards and status it wears down opposing Teams fairly quickly. Hippopotas is able to tank hits from many Physical Sweepers such as Mienfoo, who give Ferroseed problems and who can quickly wear down Tentacool due to it's lack of recovery. It also sets up Rocks and phases opponent's with Whirlwind, which is great for racking up residual damage. Ferroseed is the Spikes stacker, and it is able to wall quite a few threats to Hippopotas, as well as wear down the opponent with Leech Seed and paralyze Sweepers with Thunder Wave. Tentacool is the Spinner, and acts as a Special Wall. It's the main check to Snover, as Giga Drain damages Snover and Blizzard dosen't dent Tentacool. Knock Off is used to get rid of Eviolite's, so that walls can be beaten easier. A spinblocker would aid this core a lot, as well as a Sweeper such as Drilbur which can clean up after sufficient damage to the opposing Team.
