Does this work as a good spiker

Spikes
Roar
Steel Wing
Agility

THis would allow Skamory to get fast, set three spikes, then force your opponent to switch causeing lots of damage.

Did I miss something, or does this work.

Would this be better

Spikes
Rapid Spin (i don't understand why every one has this move, can someone explain)
Explosion
Toxic

Regarding Skarmory, I believe that I did a log entry on that on the old Battledex... go use the search function for it in the GB Strategy forum. As for Forrtress, rapid spin is used to defeat leech seed and other spikers. Rather useful in making Sceptile useless as well for Forretress. For Foretress's case, I'll take off toxic for HP Bug so you got an attack move, and also further specializing yourself in defeating Sceptile (toxic is rather useless since Sceptile's sub will block that)

I thought roar usually goes second? Wouldn't Skarmory be killed?

Skarmory without roar or whirlwind is useless... it's a must have. Skarmory's unreal defense will save its butt, so no worries. Afterall, it is one of the best physical tankers available in the entire game.

replace steel wing with drill peck/hp ground, replace agility with toxic. this way u spike and when done, u toxic suffle. ground gets rid of steel, electric, and fire... all reistances and strenthgs of skarmory... now u can deal damage dir, and indir.
