135 base physical attack.
Being able to run an Adamant nature and still outspeeding most of the meta due to Sand Rush.
Half decent bulk with amazing defensive typing.
Multiple viable sets; you don't know if you're coming up against a defensive spinner or a juggernaut that can get to +2/+2 in one turn with Swords Dance.
Stab EQ with decent coverage.
"Good" is an understatement and a half.
