Moves
========

Protect scopes out potentially fatal moves. It also helps to stall out toxic-afflicted pokemon. This set works well with heatran because you can get fire boost on moves like will-o-wisp or fire blast. X-Scissor does a lot of damage against latios/latias, which are common defoggers in OU. These pokemon rarely have an answer for shedinja too- so this set works as a very good counter against them. Shadow sneak can make shedinja a potent sweeper in the late game with hazards set up. Also allows it to defeat gengar with focus sash. Will-O-Wisp to afflict counter-pokemon on the switch in.

Set Details
========

Standard ev spread for shedinja.

Usage Tips
========

Works well for hazard teams. Shedinja forces a lot of switch ins because of its wonder guard. This can help you shuffle your opponent's team. Will-O-Wisp for afflictions, Protect extends shedinja's life span and helps you scope out your opponent's team, X-Scissor and Shadow Sneak actually lets shedinja deal damage. As said earlier, this set works well with heatran.

Team Options
========

Hazards and heatran. You can even use shedinja as a rapid spin blocker.

Sorry, but you're not allowed to post threads in this forum right off the bat. You need to request that they be put up for reservation and then reserve them here in this thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/xy-ou-analysis-reservation-index-read-carefully.3495075/

After that's been done and approved, you may post sets in the forum.

With that said, this set has numerous viability issues, and I urge you to consider them deeply before you decide to post in the reservation thread about this. To put it bluntly, Shedinja requires such specialized and circumstantial support that it is extremely hard to justify its use.
