Try sending a rapid spinner into battle in a 6v6. You're pretty much guaranteed to see the opponent switch to Dusknoir or Rotom-A instantly.

Dunno bout Dusknoir, ever since the Rotom forms showed up Dusknoir has sorta been flung to the sidelines much like Spiritomb. Doesn't help either Gengar is still as commonly used as ever giving more competition and theres alot of stuff in OU Dusknoir has trouble threatening.

I've never actually seem a practical application for Gravity. Trick Room, at least, is amazing in doubles.

Yeah Trick Room is pretty much a common move when it comes to doubles, if not almost a standard strategy.
Gravity has pretty much two uses, setting up a Earthquake sweep or the more significant one of lowering everythings evade. With Gravity even moves like DyanamicPunch get a 85% hit rate, Sing with 95% and moves like Blizzard/Thunder/Fire Blast/Hydro Pump/Focus Blast/Will O Wisp/Sleep Powder get 100% hit.
Also when you look at who can learn Gravity you get a list of stuff which can abuse it very well. Clefable and Blissey with status immunity and movepool out the ass, Starmie who can do a enhanced version of boltbeam. Dusknoir, Cresselia, Regi's, Bronzong, Jirachi, Metagross and Forretress all have the defenses to set it up successfully.
