After using Rock Polish and hitting 184 Speed, it would only be outsped by very fast Pokés like Sceptile, Alakazam, Dugtrio, and faster. If you used Rock Polish twice with 252 Spe, you would outspeed everything. Of course you are losing significant bulk by running Speed but some of these Pokémon you couldn't take the attacks from even with the added bulk. As a Subway veteran I would just recommend trying each individual set that you thought of but you might not have the resources for that. I still don't recommend the Poké though, and if you ask for further help in the Battle Subway thread, we could help you find a better Poké or help you build a team
