So me and Anti were discussing this and we found that Spiritomb could have 3 great sleep talks sets. One is already in the analysis and that is the sleep talk stall set with spite and protect. Jumpman posted the other one which revolves around Calm Mind and a lot of defense. However we still did not see this one made yet and we agreed that all three deserve mention, especially this one. I did post this in the other topic, but it is easier just to make a new topic to talk about it. Here is the page on spiritomb and jumps topic:

And so I introduce Sleep Talk Spiritomb #3. This set I think was actually invented by obi, or at least he made it famous. However we readjusted the evs. Here it is. Also sorry for the cheesy name, but Sleep Talker #3 didnt sound very good:
[Set]
Name: Restless Spirits
Move 1: Rest
Move 2: Sleep Talk
Move 3: Hidden Power Fighting
Move 4: Shadow Ball
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 96 SpA / 120 SpD
IVs: 31 / x / 30 / 30 / 30 / 30
[Set Comments]
<p>While the other Sleep-Talk sets attempt and set up, this one focuses entirely on attacking and taking out threats that can ruin teams.</p>
<p>Unlike the other Sleep-Talk sets, the other moves on this set besides Rest and Sleep Talk are both special attacks. This is to effectively deal with threats that resist Shadow Ball. Hidden Power Fighting also means that this set will beat Blissey one on one. Shadow Ball + Hidden Power Fighting is unresisted by every type in the game, which is always extremely helpful when randomly choosing moves while sleeping.</p>
<p>The EVs are the bread and butter of this set. Always max your HP: It not only gives Spiritomb the best defenses possible, but also is divisble by 16 for for perfect Leftover's recovery. 120 Special Defense EVs, with a Calm nature, will allow you to survive 3 Flamethrowers from Life Orb Azelf. Additionally, Choice Specs Lucario and Choice Scarf Porygon Z cannot 3HKO with Shadow Ball or Ice Beam respectively; while 96 special attack allows you to guarantees a 2HKO on a standard 4 HP Lucario. The rest can be put in Defense.</p>
<p>When selecting your IVs for Hidden Power Fighting it is very important to use 31 / x / 30 / 30 / 30 / 30 IV for the sole reason of maintaining effective Leftover's recovery.</p>
I still have a few articles I want to do on some pokemon but I would love to get some critique on this one. Thanks =)
