Thank you the answer.

Evasion ability plus evasion stacking plus decent bulk = the ban hammer from Smogon.  Don't ban evasion in general, and you'll see sets like that often, dragging out battles in a luck based evasion war.  Heck, even Bright Powder by itself is banned, because it's a luck based complete negation of damage.

Oh well... at least it isn't banned in-game. 'Cause in the Battle Subway (Gen.5) I've been actually quite sucessful with that set on a timid Glaceon - well, at least if it wasn't OHKOed by a nasty super-effective attack in the first place.  ┐(´~｀)┌

Evasion isn't even the best way to trash the Subway.  If you want to completely trash it, use a rain team.  Destroys every single mode (assuming you have a non-AI partner for multis, of course).  Muddy Water in the rain OP, btw
