Skarmory Set....Any Good?

[Ársa]

OK, so I've decided to use a Skarmory on my team, and I would like some advice on if I can improve....

Skarmory @ Leftovers/Enigma Berry
Impish - (+Def - Sp. Atk)
252 HP, 188 DEF, 64 Speed

Attacks:

Whirlwind
Roost/Rest (Cannot Decide which, leaning towards roost though)
Stealth Rock
Drill Peck/Toxic/Sleep Talk (Sleep Talk for Rest Combo)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

There are a lot of Pokémon that can learn Stealth Rock by TM, but not many can learn Spikes. If you don't have something else that can be your stealth rocker, then it's fine. The only reason I'd fine the Sleep Talking set effective is that this way Skarmory will be your sleep absorber and won't be bothered from status problems. If you don't have an Aromatherapist in your team, then go with this set. Give it max EVs in defence or special defence, speed isn't really necessary.

Using Sleep Talk/Rest/Whirlwind/Stealth Rock is terrible. Stealth rock isn't like Spikes where you can set up more than 1 layer. Then you only have a 33% chance of getting an attack that will do something. Use the Standard Skarmory.

Restalking is horribible for defensive pokemon.

EDIT: omfg I just typed horribible
