Fury Cutter

Ninjask's defense is close to zero, and can't endure any hit at all. It dies on the slightest touch. So really don't have it stand there to attack (unless it's OHKO), or double team as you have no defense to do so.

Ninjask- [def + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers/liechi berry
EV: Def and Spd
-swords dance
-protect/silver wind
-substitute
-baton pass

*note: if a berry is used, make sure that your hp is equal to a number divisible by 4, + 1

Lead off with substitute, then use protect, and repeat cycle to get off some free agility. Leftovers will heal you by quite a bit. If substitute is not broken, use swords dance. If you're not using leftovers, then just keep subbing until berry is activated and baton pass it to someone. Try to pull of the chain FAST, and baton pass asap if you are even lucky enough to get out one swords dance. Pass it to a sweeper asap before Skarmory/Suicune comes out, and hopefully the sweeper will have enough power to take out the pseudohazers before they pseudohaze.

Run at the sight of quick attack/extremespeed users, or rock blaster (Rhydon/Armaldo). Ninjask is doomed against these attacks.
 
I would go:

Ninjask@Focus Band
Aerial Ace
Swords Dance
Baton Pass
Protect
 
Actually, most pack silver wind in the event they get boxed or see a pseudo hazer weak to bug. Cause one with no attack moves can really get punished, of course Skarm does that every with silver wind.
 
both Weezing and Skarmory does the trick (very well)... really if they want to mess you over, they will mess you over regardless of the one turn of silver wind or not =/
 
You need to breed for Silver Wind, and Substitute isn't available until FR/LG. Unless you're playing that.
