Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haha, I can't believe I missed that in the first post. Leave it to me to make assumptions. razz

As pointed out earlier, Explosion would be bad to use against ghost, rock and steel. Though, that doesn't mean that there is going to be a high chance that someone's team is going to be littered with pokes only from that category, unless they are using a sandstorm team, or are playing pure type teams, which have many weakness in on themselves which are easily exploited. Just because someone throws in a poke you can't kill out right doesnt mean, you have to explode then. After all, that is the beauty of a calculated switch.

Also friend, if hurting your friend is a problem, why not pair it up with a ghost like dusknoir. After all, the one poke that I can see that can be easily switched on your team is weezing. After all, Dusknoir has access to of the same moves, and then some.

@Suskeult2: Your build looks alright, but I wouldnt go too far to dump a lot of EVs into Atk. After all, he is a wall. I would also drop swagger. God knows luck needs to be on your side for that to work in your favor, and just the though of boosting my opponents attacks just doesn't sit right with me as well.

I would replace that with taunt or will-o-wisp. Pain split would be ideal for this poke because its it only form of healing itself other than the item it holds. I would switch shadow sneak for shadow punch. It may be a lower damaging move, but with the moves I have suggested you, you can widdle your opponent's health away with pain split and wil-o-wisp to the point where they are all in KOing range. From there, you can get the last hit in for the finish.

I personally make all the pokes that held trick room walls, just to absorb damage, guarrenting a set up as well, as causing some annoyances. Leave the job of KOing pokes to your sweepers, like Machamp, Marowak, and Magnezone and the other just create set ups.

LAGGING TAIL MAKES YOU GO LAST IT DOES NOT REDUCE SPEED.

Lagging Tail in Trick Room means you still go last. It doesn't affect speed. And honestly with something like a Slowbro with 0 speed EVs and low speed IVs you shouldn't need to worry about something "outspeeding" you under Trick Room.

i have got an idea for you have a bronzor + shukle lead bronzor sets up trickroom while shukle uses power trick it is so slow that you are garanteed no hits on shukle with its mega low def and it will survive most things and it could have a focus sash just in caseande earthquake would be a good move to take advantage of bronzors levitate lol.

I personally wouldn't fancy being reliant on a moveset that gets killed by any priority move. Also, you have to hope they don't swing at Shuckle while it's setting up...
