Barand could get a bit more stats...

[Lord Windos]

I'd want it to receive a Speed buff myself to 90 myself, as that would let it outspeed the 85 Speed tier and only worry about a CS user among their bunch to outspeed and threaten him. One strat with Nuc Barand I can think of is Suicide Lead with CS and Nuclear Slash with max ATK and SPD investment, OHKO or greatly weakening whatever hazard setter, scout, or Sweeper they send in at first. It could also be employed as a Revenge Killer to a extent, but Nucleon, M-Arbok, Chainite/Navighast, Ground Dragon (Kinda) do that to a much better extent than it ever will.
