Are there any move sets on Smogon that you disagree with?

I mean, what is it about a certain Pokemon's move set(s) you don't like (i.e. moves, EVs, Nature etc.)?

For example, Houndoom's Nasty Plot sweeper set. Why is Hidden Power (Flying) up there? That should have been Hidden Power (Fighting) in order to deal with Tyranitar (in OU), as well as Aggron (UU).

Obviously sets on Smogon are dated after a while. They can't constantly update their pages as the metagame shifts. There are many sets that are no longer relevant or the 'best'. They explained the use of Hidden Power Flying on that Houndoom, but it does seem like HP Fighting would be a fine choice. However, HP Fighting does force you to use an imperfect speed IV, iirc.

Why would you use Houndoom in OU in the first place? A +2 HP Fighting doesn't even KO Ttar in the first place and Aggron gets hit by Flamethrower or Fire Blast anyways. Smogon updates there sets every couple of weeks and updates can be seen before hand in CC.

I don't like Beedrill's Swords Dance set. <_< The fact that is just has Life Orb, a better would be Salac Berry/Sub/SD/X-Scissor/Brick Break or Poison Jab imo

Yes, I know Houndoom isn't supposed to be in OU, but some people like to use him there for fun.
