I like Switcheroo on that Noivern set. I run scarf Malamar with Switcheroo (gimmicky, I know. But it works well if I time it right)

Okay, but isn't Night Slash a viable move? Is its secondary effect just not useful enough? I guess without knock off the roles it plays are better met by other pokemon. There are better Swords Dancer and better Pursuit trappers. Just no reason to use him without Knock Off. Is that about right?

Ooh, okay. Is it still worth using Bisharp without Knock Off? Would he specifically be a pursuit trapper then?

How is Knock Off a legal move when it's transfer only? I don't do Showdown yet, I just use smogon for DS battles. But in tournaments and stuff you can only use Kalos-born, right?

I I like this set, but what move do you do first? Set up a sub? And what about replacing Shadow ball with Protect? That almost gaurentees a win using perish song. Kinda folds to anything fast with taunt though. And would there be any other item to run besides Sludge or Focus Sash (I know not...

Here's a set that I havnt actually used yet, but it seems pretty interesting in theory: Klefki Ability: Prankster Lum Berry - Rest - Recycle - Toxic - Reflect/ Light Screen It should be pretty obvious what I'm trying to do here, take some hits while you use Toxic, then rest, Lum berry wakes...

The only issue with toxic spiking after is the switch-in wont be poisoned.

Okay, would it be cool to run Red Card with Toxic Spikes and Infestation? Kinda gimmicky, but if you toxic spikes first, get hit with an attack, red card switches randomly, then infestation to trap the random new 'mon? It seems like that would really throw your opponent off his game. Toxic...

Does Aegislash withstand enough super effective hits to make Weakness Policy worth it on a set with or without swords dance?

So, I don't think this question has been posed yet, but is there any reason to run Life Orb over Weakness Policy? If life orb better on SD sets?

You said Pain Split is usually Sufficent, but I can't find it in his move list on Serebii... Am I overlooking something? Edit: it's a transfer only move. That kinda sucks.

Are there any items that Cofagrigus can take advantage of other than Leftovers?

That was my bad bro, I didn't look up its moves before I said it. I simply assumed because a lot of other ghosts get it. Anyway, I do have a question: is there any other items that Cofa can take advantage of besides Leftovers? Im the ghost gym leader at an upcoming con and my leftovers slot is...

Oh damn... You're right. Okay, yeah. Gofagrigus is definitely not a solid counter to Kanga. All it's got for fighting moves is Hidden Power. And obviously nobody will be using Cofa in Ubers. It was a simply a theoretical question asked earlier. But yeah, it's a pretty bad counter to Kanga. Burn...

If you WoW on the turn they Crunch, wouldn't it then be like, 6HKO? Focus blast will 3HKO Kanga. Of course then you have to worry about Sucker Punch, but that isn't much more than Crunch, right? I did the Calcs earlier, and I should have posted them, but it's a pain on my phone, lol. Edit: Does...
