Why is Garchomp on a freaking stall team??????
TOXAPEX... CLEFABLE...
Also why 0 speed on Ditto is this like auto ev thing on showdown or something
this look like fun I have never seen shedninja be used in Ou

Ditto is scarfed so it doesn't really need speed evs
Since chomp was your rocker, I would suggest running rocks on clef, so that you do not lose the rocks.
not a good rmter nor do i actually play ou so take my advice with a rain of salt; mostly smaller tips
- shedinja teams absolutely revolve around shednja. prior to gen 8 more than 1 defogger was required and you want pokemon that abuse turns sheddy gives them. what benefits from shednja? idk
- politoed is not a viable pick in the ou metagame. peliper is a better rain setter due to superior stabs and u-turn, but this team doesn't revovle around rain. blissey is an overall better mon to special wall, or clefable too. blissey can heal bell poison and other status effects, wall special mons effectively
- stall generally focuses on knock off and hazards, not sure if garchomp is a reliable setter and boots will get in your way

Or you could put chansey. If you want more stall put toxapex lol
I would recommend getting more experience before you comment. You have had many comments on recent rmt's that are inaccurate,
In this team Politoed actually is nearly mandatory. In general, this Politoed set is usable on stall, but not amazing. However, Politoed's rain actually is required. If the opposing team were to be a sand team or hail team, Shedninja would be very effective due to handling common sand pokemon like Magearna and Clefable. However, the sand deals constant passive damage, which immediately KOs Shedninja. Politoed's weather control allows this team to counteract the effects of opposing sand, which is a must with Shedninja. Plus, Politoed's great stall matchup synergizes with Ditto to make this stall team a stall team that beats stall.
Now Shedninja has Heavy-Duty boots, which allows it to easily wall a lot of OU menaces like Magearna, Barraskewda, Tapu lele, and Melmetal. These mons are a huge threat to stall, and large reason why stall isn't good, but with Shedninja these are no problem.
This is simply inexperienced. 0 speed ditto is important in stall matchups so when your scarf is knocked off, you have slower teleports. Also, Garchomp is not a stranger to stall teams, with its defensive utility as a ground type, stealth rocks, and offensive presence being able to force progress against many teams.
I ditto this comment.
It's to underspeed opposing Ditto to win the Struggle war. And, as commented above, to help vs the opposing Stall MU.
