Pursuit in 3rd gen was not nearly as common as it is in D/P, as it was Special and many of the things that are weak to Pursuit had at least decent SpD. So it is not absolutely needed to worry about Pursuit. I also don't see the use of Ice Beam on your DDTar. Sure, it hits Claydol but it has 0 SpA EVs and an Adamant nature, making it very weak, especially against Claydol's 120 Base SpD. HP Bug is better for hitting Celebi's 4x Bug weakness while also hitting Claydol harder.I can see it leading well. He has great switch-in's to play around Jynx if it is not able to stay
in and handle itself. Salamence covers the fire and bug hits, Metagross helps with the rest other
than dark. The only thing I do not like about Jynx is the pursuit pounding it would get.
Here are some calculations:
Ice Beam from Adamant TTar with 203 SpA (0 SpA EVs) does this to 324 HP/276 SpD Claydol (If I did it right) :
Damage: 103 - 121
Now let's see what HP Bug does before a single DD to the same Claydol with 304 Def and 324 HP (252 HP and 112 Def EVs with Relaxed nature) :
Damage: 137 - 161
