Hi,
I recently thought about how when using a team with sticky web in it, you don't really need the fastest sweeper there is to out speed your opponent anymore. Instead you could get a Pokemon such as Mamoswine with lots of power, but not the best great. Using Mamoswine as an example, you could put an adamant nature on it, and give it 252 EV's in its Attack and Speed stats. It would out speed any Pokemon effected by stick web, besides a Speed boost Blaziken or Sharpedo.
I would only use 2 to 3 of these unusually trained Pokemon, then have my sticky web setter, Shuckle or Galvantula, and 1-2 sweepers. I have been trying to think of a good team using this technique, but I'm still learning how to put battle more and more competitively. Could i possibly get some help on this? Thanks!
Bisharp pairs well with either Galvantula or Shuckle because not only does it benefit from the Sticky Web they lay down, but it also discourages Defog users from clearing away that hazard, lest they give it +2 Attack thanks to Defiant (Defog lowers evasion in addition to clearing away entry hazards, while Defiant sharply increases the user's Attack when any of its stats get lowered).
Sets for each (use one of Galvantula or Shuckle):
Shuckle:
-Sticky Web
-Stealth Rock
-Encore
-Infestation/Toxic/Knock Off
Nature: Bold/Impish
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef

Bisharp:
-Sucker Punch

Even with Sticky Web, things like Mega Lopunny and Mega Manectric still outspeed Adamant Mamoswine. Mamoswine is still better with a Jolly/Naive nature to outspeed them under Sticky Web:
-Icicle Crash/Icicle Spear

Nature: Naive
EVs: 244 Atk/12 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Thick Fat
Mega Gallade, Mega Gardevoir, or Mega Medicham also pair well with Bisharp, as they have good offensive power. The latter two especially benefit from Sticky Web. Mega Heracross also has mediocre Speed, but crazy-strong Attack:
