    Delete this thread. I decided it should be put in the sticky. How do I delete it?
    Is there any pokemon that can learn both stealth rocks and spikes? I really need entry hazards, and general support for my team.

    Here is my team so far:

    Excadrill @ Smooth Rock
    Sand Rush, Bashful Nature
    252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Earthquake
    Swords Dance
    Rock Slide
    Sandstorm

    This guy is my Sweeper. I picked him up, well because he is amazing at sweeping. I am thinking of picking up either Tyranitar or Hippowdon so I can replace Sandstorm with a more useful move.

    Chandelure @ BrightPowder
    Flash Fire, Bashful nature
    252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Shadow Ball
    Flame Burst (Flamethrower, after I get the TM)
    Hex (What can I change this to? It will need to be a TM)
    Will-O-Wisp (Thinking of changing this too. What should I put?)

    Chandelure basically is there for sweeping whatever Excadrill can't. However, he needs some work. Only one move is permanent, and I am at a loss for what else to put. What other moves should a sweeper know? I made the mistake of evolving him too early, because I didn't know the move tutor didn't let you learn moves from previous evolutions.

    Ferrothorn @ Big Root
    Iron Barbs, Bold Nature
    252 Defense, 252 Sp Defense, 4 HP
    Iron Defense (Should I change this to ingrain?)
    Toxic
    Leech Seed (I chose to breed this into him rather than stealth rock/spikes, :(
    Power Whip

    Ferrothorn is my tank. I'll switch him in, use leech seed (with big root) and toxic. If the opponent is using physical moves, i use Iron Defense. If he's using special moves, I start power whipping. Normally, (especially with physical attackers) Ferrothorn can wait the battle out.

    All of the rest of the Pokemon are really interchangeable. I plan on hatching and EV training a Galvantula later. Is this a good idea, or bad?

    My main concern here was finding a pokemon with spikes and stealth rock. Support is the biggest thing missing from my team, as I have a Physical Sweeper (Excadrill) and a Sp Sweeper (Chandelure) as well as a toxic tank. Are there any more roles I need to fill? Thanks :3
