Houndstone is surprisingly bulky for a ghost mon. Not only does it have 100 base phys. def., but also a good HP stat of 72 to go with it. Even if Last Resorts is banned in competitive, that's still a fantastic ghost STAB for a casual playthrough. I still wish Dusknoir got something similar.
Costar is an interesting hidden ability. Imagine switching into a double battle where your other pokemon had buffed itself with something like weakness policy or swords dance. Flamigo gets free buffs as costar copies the ally's stat changes.
