My bad!
Still unsure about Magnet Rise and Air Balloon but now my guess is it'd be as you said, Roost only affects typing and nothing else.
Don't worry shadey. Most people think Roost affects Levitate. I only knew about it because of Latios hahah

Now that you explained, it sounds rather clever, but you have to keep in mind that while S-51 A is one of the best Anti Hazard mons, its not the only one. Chlorophyll Coalith under the sun can outspeed any variant of the chimera and threaten with a Earthpower, and then use Defog to clear away the TS. CS Coalith with Levitate can also completely shut down TS too. Both have to watch out for Sludge Bomb and/or a Sun Boosted Overheat, but if Coalith is fast enough to get off the first Move.... And that's just one example I can think of. The meta hasn't really explored good alt hazard cleaners, but I imagine as it develops they will.
Yup, Scarf Coatlith can be threatening (although I have to note that, unfortunately (or not), it lacks Defog in the current version of the sim), but it's not like Coatlith can safely switch in to Chimaconda, considering it can be OHKO'ed by Sludge Wave/takes around 75% damage from Overheat, unless predicting a T-Spike, but then again, it's kind of a gamble in this case. Chimaconda is truly amazing, isn't it?
