    EDIT: Anyone? This isn't a RMT or anything...just a yes/no question...

    Okay, I was thinking of this for my team I'm making in 3rd gen.

    Umbreon@Leftovers
    Trait: Syncronize
    Bold Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
    ~Mean Look
    ~Baton Pass
    ~Wish
    ~Curse

    Okay, this is pretty standard. At least mean look and BP are.

    Hypno@Leftovers
    Trait: Wonder Guard (no, I'm kidding, Insomnia is the real trait)
    Calm Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Defense
    ~Calm Mind
    ~Baton Pass
    ~Psychic
    ~Thunder Wave

    It gets BP from XD, from admin Gorigan.

    So here was my thought: I have steelix on my teams almost always as my physical wall. I feel it could be a lot more useful if umbreon gave it wish support as well as the benefits of curse. That way it could take CBed EQs much better, and maybe be able to take out metagross or stuff like that.

    You all also probably know Kingdra is also seen on all of my teams. I figured it could receive CM from Hypno, as it's my special sweeper, and could be a much more effective attacker. Thunder Wave would also give kingdra enough speed on the opponent to not need to set up the rain.

    So here's my question, which will probably turn plural here in a minute: Is this BP strategy flawed or can it work? I have two open slots on my team, so the two others could also benefit. Let's say I incorperate Scizor into my team. Then it receives curse as well and gets a major attack and defense boost. That's just hypothetic though. In case you don't understand my strategy,
    here is my team so far:

    Kingdra@Lum Berry
    Trait: Swift Swim
    Timid Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Attack, 6 Speed
    ~Rain Dance
    ~Surf
    ~HP Electric
    ~Ice Beam

    Umbreon@Leftovers
    Trait: Sycronize
    Bold Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
    ~Curse
    ~Mean Look
    ~Wish
    ~Baton Pass

    Steelix@Leftovers
    Trait: Sturdy
    Impish Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Attack
    ~Earthquake
    ~Explosion
    ~Toxic
    ~Rock Slide

    Hypno@Leftovers
    Trait: Insomnia
    Calm Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Defense
    ~Baton Pass
    ~Calm Mind
    ~Thunder Wave
    ~Psychic

    So yeah. Can my BP strategy work?

    So are you planning on adding a BPing Scizor if you use Hypno and Umbreon as BPers as well or not?

    In any case, BPers help out the team greatly, unless the opponents are (P)Hazing constantly then you should have no problem beefing up pokemon that need to be (or some that don't but its fun to anyway)

    Just a UU Trick roomer, I guess. Umbreon look's fine.
     
    Well, in emerald you can'ty get trick room...so my srategy can work? Scizor was a hypothetical pokemon, not someone on my team. But yes, any good pokemon that benefit from the BPers I'd like to know about. Thanks.
