Huntail

Huntail, The Deep Sea Pokémon. It's presence went unnoticed by people for a long time due to it living in the extrme depths of the sea. Its eyes can see clearly even in the murky ocean depths. It's tail is shaped like a fish. It uses it's tail to attract prey, then swallows it's prey whole with its large gaping mouth.

Strategy Using Huntail

Huntail is a pokemon with a fair placements of stats, although its special defense and speed could be a little better to help this pokemon.
It has high Attack, Defense and Special attack, allowing it to pull off a few different movesets, especially with the movepool it has been given, ranging from annoying moves to sweeping moves.
However, Huntail's type and ability has to be taken into consideration too, so this set works well with that. Rain dance being an important move to boost its speed and to boost the strength of surf.
Ice beam covers its grass weakness, and it also covers Flying, Dragon and ground types too. Crunch is a good move considering the 20% chance of lowering your opponent's special defense and covers types such as Ghost and Psychic types.
I would advise that you mix and match some of its other attacks, just to give him some variations, such as: Rain dance, surf, Body slam, Confuse Ray, just to give it a little bit of an annoyer in the set too while still taking advantage of its ability.
