Hypnopass, A Gallade and Ninjask Strategy

I was bored. Decided to come up with something new, a combination that does damage. please note that it is a strategy rather a moveset...

The Quick Version

I was looking over some stuff, and I noticed that Gallade learned Hypnosis and Swords Dance. I figured, hmm. So I did some experimentation. I took a ninjask, speed boosted, and passed it to Gallade. And BAM, you Hypnosis for a free Swords Dance, and sweep. Yes, i'm aware of pseudo hazers, which is something that can ruin this, but I decided to use.

The Pokemon

So anyway, basically you use this Ninjask:

Ninjask @ Lefties
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EV Spread: 6 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD
-X-Scissor/Aerial Ace
-Substitute
-Swords Dance
-Baton pass

So really, what you do here is gain speed. Once you gain enough, pass the speed to Gallade. You may want to gain enough speed though.

Gallade @ Life Orb/Lefties
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EV Spread: 6 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD
-Close Combat
-Psycho Cut
-Hypnosis
-Swords Dance

Once passed to Gallade, Hypnosis the enemy. Free Swords Dance. Then sweep of course. No need for leaf blade for things like swampert. You already can do enough damage with Close Combat, or Psycho Cut. You may use Life Orb for more power, or leftovers to heal. Yet, leftovers is much better judging by my battles. The reason for Jolly mentioned up their is that Adamant can still be outsped by a few scarfers. So you may want to have made sure you read that sentence about getting enough speed with Ninjask.

The Outcome

It does massive damage, even with only just 1 Swords Dance. With 2, it is extremely monsterous. I've used on Shoddy Battle, and i've won alot of games using this. Also, I should mention that this works with Poliwrath. But you get to get max attack because of belly drum, rather than Swords Dance.

Anything that can make it better? What do you think... Yes, I haven't done damage calculations, though it's done alot of damage on Shoddy. If you want them, I can do them!

Mod: if post = bad, then sorry :o

Everyone ever will want calculations.

And I'll warn you ahead of time.
You're going to get a lot of crap from people.
Seeing as you just took generic ninjask and baton passed.

You can baton pass a speed boost and a swords dance to a weavile and still destoy people.

Ok, I will get the damage calc's tomorrow, going to sleep soon. And, the point of this strat is to get a free SD without hastle. When passing to weavile with just a speed boost and SD, you may have a hard time seeing how their is no way to sleep the opposing pokemon is all. Gallade has the power to sleep the opponent, and just SD while the opposing pokemon is asleep, or on the switch.

The problem is two fold:
1. You are using a standard Ninjask.
2. You BP. to a standard physical sweeper.

As soon as Ninjask comes out, people switch to skarm. Then they whirlwind you, or spikes/stealth rocks if they predict a protect. Either way, this combo is beaten by a standard technique. Any phazer will roar out the ninjask.

Using Ninjask to Baton Pass to a physical sweeper isn't anything new or exciting.

For future reference, posting something because you're bored rarely results in a good thread.
