Subduction and Stone Edge are the only notable ones, and they aren't even that bad accuracy wise compared to things like Thunder and Blizzard outside of their weathers.
Megahorn can benefit, though as noted in the first post it's not all that useful. Dragon Tail, Toxic, Zen Headbutt, and Iron Tail are all in the pool and would benefit (especially Iron Tail), though Iron Head is usually preferred to Tail so that one might be moot, and Iron Head is noted as being preferable to Zen Headbutt for flinching, so that might also be moot. Anyway, moving on.

Safeguard can't protect you from self inflicted confusion from moves like Outrage, so it shouldn't protect you from Subduction's either. The only out would be to skill swap Own Tempo onto the pokemon, which is needlessly complicated since Ludicolo is the only mon with that ability in Uranium.
Huh, forgot about that. I haven't actually run Safeguard on anything I've used seriously since Gen 5, so it was easy to forget. Oh well.
