Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Why doesn't Mudsdale ever get an Assault Vest as an item? I know items are determined by a certain algorithm but as of now it only gets Choice Band. I think it would be a natural fit and make it more flexible than just getting Choice Band.
