Girafarig's unique typing and broad coverage gives it an edge as a sweeping tank. It's special attack is decent enough to where after using Calm Mind a few times, it can do serious damage.
Name: Girafarig Bulky Sweeper
Move 1: Substitute
Move 2: Calm Mind
Move 3: Psyshock
Move 4: Hyper Voice
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Sap Sipper
Nature: Modest
EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Moves
=======
Substitute allows Girafarig to set up safely with Calm Mind. With Leftovers, you are able to use Substitute over and over again if the opposing Pokemon destroys it in two or three shots.
Calm Mind allows Giragarig to set up and sweep the opposing team while retaining bulk with a raised special defense, EVs in HP, and its Leftovers.
Psyshock allows Girafarig to compete with other Calm Minders, since it uses the target's defense stat.
Hyper Voice gives Girafarig extra STAB against potential Dark wall-breakers.
Set Details
=======
Girafarig's Leftovers allows it to retain some bulk as it heals up some every turn. Leftovers are common throughout Pokemon, and it fit in well with this set.
It's nature gives it a stronger attack to do extra damage against Pokemon that may survive some of its hits.
Its EVs maxes its special attack, giving it a way to OHKO potential threats to this set. Its speed isn't maxed, but it still gives it enough speed to out speed some of the meta.
Usage Tips
=======
This set is best used when you are against a slow wall or someone that relies on Toxic damage to kill. Use Substitute first to prevent forced switches VIA Toxic. Then, build up Calm Minds and repair your Substitute when it breaks. Then, based on your opponent's higher Defensive stat, use Hyper Voice and Psyshock accordingly.
I haven't finished the rest. If someone could help me find Pokemon that work well with Girafarig, it would be greatly appreciated.
