Consider fire blast to deal with skarmory, who otherwise walls you.

I don't know about spiritomb either, except Richard Steel uses it:\
And Something Else. What should it be?

I recommend a physical tank. Perhaps rhyinferior. Edit in bold
 
Whoops i meant to out protect on ninjask.

Well, it's there now lol. Inferior benefits from SD, so it would be a fair choice. The CB set takes a bite even out of skarm with focus punch on the switch...
 
My last post is edited.^^^please read.

But you didn't change anything...EDIT: Oops, was thinkng of your first post lol

Okay, after reading the edit...starmie isn't gonna last with modest. Either rebreed or don't use it. Wothout timid, it isn't fast enough...simple. Ninjask doesn't need jolly, especially since it has speed boost. Adamant is fine, as long as you use 252 Spd EVs. And lol, you don't have a spinner...might as well give it to Starmie. Psychic has horrid coverage anyways.

Fine.
Starmie is finished, i just need a last move. I will use a TM if i have to.
Why not jolly(+spd -sp.def) on Jask?
Physical tank. Metagross?

Read nmy edit. As a tank, Rhyinferior>Metagross. Metagross is known to explode:\
 
Focus punch...CB focus punch...or if yopu're worried about gengar, CB Stone edge on the switch...prediction my friend.
 
Sorry, but i still prefer Metagross. How effective is solid rock?(rhy's ability)

IT doesn't do much to grassers and water moves...it gives it a chance to shrug off weaker ice beams...but it really helps its fighting and ground weak. 2 of your pokemon are weak to fire types, so I wouldn't advise using metagross. Edit that first post while you're at it...
 
What is a good moveset for Rhyperior/TTar/Megagross

Rhyperior (F) @ Choice Band ** Rhyinferior
Solid Rock
200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Def
Adamant
- Megahorn
- EQ
- Stone edge
- Focus Punch (hammers skarm on the switch)

TTar is rather similar...as is CBgross...it's too late for me to type it out...but yeah...the guides sticky has the CB versions of the 2.
 
for spiritomb

spiritomb@lefties
relaxed/impish
252hp/128def/128sp.def
-pursuit
-pain split
-WoW
-hypnosis

this set was given to me from 'Richard Steel'
it works wonders for a lead...lol that wat richard said to me
 
Why not give Starmie Grass knot, great for taking out rock, and other heavy beasts

What is Brongzongs ability?

[B]1. Because it's not as commonly seen as the the Boltbeamer set.
2. Um. Wha? All people go for Levitate. Otherwise, they're crazy to go with Heatproof. There's no best Fire Move, and very few fire types. Whilst, there's Dugtrio, Rhyperior, and the best Ground move, Earthquake.

Well, for all we know (me especially) Archer could be different
 
Levitate is, imo, the best option for Bronzong. No questions asked.

Still, no dugtrio is gonna bother trying to EQ it, since they'd assume it has levitate. Heatproof is a nice little surprise, but levitate is better.
