Dual Screen

So... I've been looking for a competitive "dual screener" (for double battles ofc) and the most common answers I got were Klefki and Uxie.
Are they really worth it? I mean, are they really the best dual screen Pokémon or you guys have a better idea?
Thanks in advance. :)

Klefki is the go-to dual screener because of Prankster and a good defensive typing:
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Thunder Wave/Safeguard
-Foul Play
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/64 Def/192 SDef
Item: Light Clay
Ability: Prankster

I was planning on using a Ninjask to do swords dance and baton pass with a focus sash. What other moves should I put on it?

Scolipede does Attack and Speed passing better because it's not as weak to Stealth Rock and as frail as Ninjask is. The only items for Ninjask to consider are Leftovers (for passive recovery to potentially make more Substitutes) or Mental Herb (to shrug off Taunt once, given how susceptible to Taunt Ninjask is):
-Substitute
-Protect
-Baton Pass
-Swords Dance/X-Scissor
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP/220 Def/36 Spe
Item: Leftovers/Mental Herb
Ability: Speed Boost
 
Got it. But I don't have access to a scolipede/Know where to find it outside of Unova.

Cobalion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 SpA / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Normally, they're found in Kalos Route 6's bushes randomly, but those have Swarm and Poison Point. If you want Speed Boost Whirlipede, go ask someone who has its Friend Safari to add your Friend Code.
 
Hey everyone,

I was wondering, if Gengar is the best ghost type pokemon and if not what would be the best one? Could you guys also let me know what the top five ghost type pokemon are? Thank you! :)

Gengar is generally the best Ghost Pokemon to use because of its good Special Attack and Speed. Though its stats may not seem like the part for utility sets, given Gengar's frailty, it does pull them off pretty well, since it forces switches a lot. Here are the common sets it runs:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast
-Destiny Bond/Taunt/Substitute
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash/Black Sludge

or
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Will-o-Wisp
-Taunt/Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave/Disable
Nature: Timid
EVs: 28 HP/148 SAtk/80 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

or
-Hex
-Taunt
-Will-o-Wisp
-Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb/Substitute
Nature: Timid
EVs: 8 HP/248 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

The other good Ghost Pokemon to use are Aegislash (only if you play Ubers or in just for fun matches), Giratina (both forms, Ubers only) Mega Sableye, Chandelure and Cofagrigus.

Yeah, I thought on it too. The thing is, I just can't make room for it. :/

Edit: Terrakion is a good lead for OU?

Terrakion does make a good lead, yes:
-Stealth Rock
-Stone Edge
-Close Combat
-Taunt
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash

Taunt lets Terrakion stop opposing leads from getting their status moves up. Its great offensive presence also forces switches, which gives it enough time to set up Stealth Rock.

Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Amnesia
- Recover
- Scald

That Corsola is easily crippled with status, has little chance of sweeping due to poor stats, and will likely have problems setting up due its weaknesses (notably Grass). Pokemon like Mega Slowbro and Suicune pull off the CM + One Attack moveset more efficiently. A more wall-oriented moveset would be better suited for Corsola:

Corsola @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Power Gem
- Recover
- Stealth Rock / Toxic

Switch in a lot on Normal- and Flying-types like Talonflame and abuse Regenerator. Spam Scald for burns like no tomorrow. Even then, Slowbro, Rotom-Wash, and friends are still much better.

Forgot about this, but here are ideal special Zoroark sets:
-Nasty Plot
-Dark Pulse
-Flamethrower/Grass Knot
-Focus Blast
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

or
-Dark Pulse/Night Daze
-Flamethrower/Grass Knot
-Focus Blast
-Trick
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs
 
For regular Sableye should I have 252 Evs into HP and Def with 4 in Special Def or have more of a mix between HP Def and Special Def?
 
Hate to beat a dead horse, but does anyone have any suggestions for how to run a Naughty-natured Mew?
