Is this Shedinja centered team a good idea?

[kingbastek]

Basically the point of this team is to be able to handle the most diverse situations and threats possible. Blissey (handled by Mienshao, Donphan, Shedinja, and even Vaporeon if it came down to it); the bulky metal types like Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Forretress, Scizor (handled easily by Probopass); most stat raised sweepers (handled with Shedinja); I'm thinking of replacing a Pokemon's move with Roar (maybe Vaporeon's Protect or Hydreigon's Earth Power) to act as a phazer for Ninjask, but maybe Probopass's Taunt would be enough to cover this role, you guys tell me; Shell Smashed Cloyster with Icicle Spear (handled by Shedinja unless it has that multi-hit rock move, in which case Vaporeon might have to stall it out or Roar it away if it has that move). So as you can see, this team is basically centered around Shedinja, but it has some weight if Shedinja should happen to be knocked out. My plan is to keep Shedinja stowed away for as long as possible while I remove its threats with its supporters (Probopass for weather effects and Donphan for entry hazards). Shedinja can then come in late game once I've seen the majority of the opposite team and really put things at ease for me. What do you guys think?


VAPOREON (water)- A support pokemon and toxi-staller for when things come down to the wire. He also doubles up as my Special Tank with the EV spread. Heal Bell can be a life-saver, also there is no better Wish passer than Vaporeon.
Nature: Modest
Moveset: Toxic, Wish, Heal Bell, Protect/Roar/Surf (need help)
EVs: 252HP, 252SpD, 4SpA

PROBOPASS (rock/steel)- Mainly a stealth rock setter and a wall. It's Magnet Pull ability along with hidden power fire can be used to get rid of pesky steel types like Scizor and Skarmory. Also, Sunny Day can be used to get rid of weather effects to give Shedinja more of a fighting chance.
Nature: Bold
Moveset: Stealth Rock, Sunny Day, Hidden Power Fire, Thunderwave (or Taunt)
EVs: 252HP, 152Def, 104SpA

SHEDINJA (bug/ghost)- A late game sweeper. If used correctly, it can really make for an easy sweep when its threats are neutralized. Hopefully its supporters (Probopass and Donphan) can survive long enough to allow for a safe switch in. Also, Will-o-Wisp can be used when a switch out is predicted to burn the incoming threat before switching Shedinja out.
Nature: Adament
Moveset: Swords Dance, Suckerpunch (or Shadow Sneak), Will-o-Wisp, X-Scissor
EVs: 252Atk, 252Spe, 4Def?

HYDREIGON (dragon/dark)- A special sweeper, pure and simple. Ice Fang is for other dragons and to give extra type coverage.
Nature: (Hasty or Naive)
Moveset: Flamethrower, Ice Fang, Dark Pulse, Earth Power
EVs: 252SpA, 252Spe, 4HP

DONPHAN (ground)- A Dragon-killer (with Ice Shard) and Rapid Spin support for Shedinja.
Nature: Adament
Moveset: Ice Shard, Earthquake, Rapid Spin, Superpower
EVs: 252Atk, 152HP, 104Def

MIENSHAO (fighting)- A physical sweeper, pure and simple. Knock Off can be used for when a switch is predicted or to cripple any major threats. Its high speed stat makes it a great Knock Off user.
Nature: (Adament or Jolly)
Moveset: Jump Kick (or High Jump Kick), Knock Off, Rock Slide, U-Turn
EVs: 252Atk, 252Spe, 4HP

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
