Partners:
AV set fit well in fat teams. Talonflame is nice with it's ability to switch into Slither Wing and more generally Bug, Grass and weak physical moves. Talonflame likes Slowking coming on Water and special moves. Any physically defensive has a nice synergy with Slowking.
Cetitan really benefits from Chilling Reception, especially with Future Sight/Screens support.
Slow potent breakers benefit from TR sets.
A lot of Pokemon that are walled by a specific Defensive Pokemon like the lure offered by Specs Trick or coverage.

Tell me if som sets should be modified.
 
best hail setter I ever used. chilly reception just fits into a hail core so nicely being able to take a hit and then pivot with the regenerator kicking in, paired up with a SD Chien Pao or a CB Cetitan it makes for a very fun hail core
 
Slowking is a stable on Trick Room and Hail teams and is one of the best setters of those in the game. It's Psychic typing arguably hurts it more than it helps it because it add many more common weaknesses. It is still very bulky on the special side is one of the few pokemon that can consistently take hits from Amarouge. Regenerator and Slack off bolster it's longevity to another level above most other pokemon. It also has a wide movepool and decent special attack and can catch many pokemon off guard.
