  • While Scolipede can Baton Pass Swords Dance boosts, Toxicroak can already boost its own Attack with Swords Dance and Crobat doesn't have much use for it because it's meant to break stall. Replace both moves with Spikes and Toxic Spikes.

    Destiny Bond is an interesting option, but you really have to time it right. Some alternate options are Disable, Pain Split, Thunderbolt, and Hidden Power Fire. Also, Black Sludge is the preferred item to help Gengar make more Substitutes.

    Entry hazards could be a pain, so Tentacruel can provide Rapid Spin support:
    -Hydro Pump
    -Ice Beam
    -Giga Drain/Toxic Spikes
    -Rapid Spin
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Liquid Ooze

  • Alright, I changed up the set to a hazard lead, and gave ammongus HP Ice due to the opponent more often than not going to be poisoned most of the time. Should I remove amoongus or weezing to ad Tentacruel? I'm kinda torn causeAmoongus has more staying power and has a sleep move while weezing is only weak to one type and can shut down physical threats completely. I'm also taking the hp fire into account.
