i was just thinking about how to make mushy more useful (which is kind of a spin on the specs set) how does this sound??

Musharna @ Choice Specs
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Trick
- Psychic
- Protect
- Moonlight / Light Screen / Reflect

trick specs onto skunk and/or cacturne or another physical attacker you despise that you know is coming in or a wall or something, protect to figure out what it's using so you either switch or recover if using moonlight (or even on rapidash/braviary etc), and the fun thing is the target will most likely be forced to switch, or try attacking - but on that next turn if you lack moonlight just light screen or reflect to support your team depending on what it's weaker against! it sounds kind of gimmicky but seems like it could be interesting i guess given mushy's bulk/special attack compared to other mons and what people expect mushy to do/how they prepare for it. also i was lazy with evs so idk if they entirely fit right but w/e.

oh also you could go torment > protect so that opponent will have to switch (they might wanna struggle but hey they lose hp so their loss!!)
