Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
In checks and counters you listed Pokemon that resist/take a hit from Ferrothorn's STABs, but I didn't see any Fighting types. Couldn't at least Conkeldurr switch in and take a hit, which it could definently survive thanks to that beefy Defense, then strike back next turn with a Mach Punch...
Do the effects of Defeatist go away if you Skill Swap it after activation? I'm throwing together a Double-Battle team and Archeops appeals to me because of great stats but a horrible ability that's begging for Skill Swap.
Could this be a viable set? (I'm new to EV training and stuff, so sorry if it's off)
