Spiritomb has always been known to struggle with steel types in general, and HP Fighting aims to remove all that. Spiritomb baits in Aggron, and proceeds to KO with a 4x super effective HP Fighting. 52 Special Attack EVs ensure that Aggron is OHKOed after SR. Other than that, it 3HKOes Klinklang, Steelix and Durant comfortably, also ensuring that these pokemon aren't able to put up substitutes. HP Fighting also 2HKOes Kabutops easily, so it puts immense pressure on the opponent to Rapid Spin. Its other moves take care of the other viable spinner, Cryogonal, thus reliably beating both spinners, a luxury very few pokemon are able to afford. Other than that, HP Fighting deals pitiful damage to Escavalier, so its good to have a mon that can take its ridiculously strong attacks, like Emboar, Qwilfish or Aggron. Aggron forms an ideal combo with Tomb and Qwilfish's intimidate ensures that Tomb can tank attacks much easily. It also absorbs Toxic Spikes, ensuring that Tomb and the rest of the party are around for much longer.
The EV spread is pretty simple. 52 Sp. Attack EVs for doing enough damage to steels (as shown below in the calcs), 252 Attack EVs to maximise attack and ensuring Tomb does what it does best, 12 Speed EVs to outspeed uninvested base 30 Speed mons with Brave nature, rest dumped into HP for maximising bulk. Leftovers is an option over BlackGlasses but isn't recommended since Spiritomb needs to remove psychic types (Slowking!) and needs to hit as hard as possible with the rest of the moves.
Since this Spiritomb is supposed to be a lure, Pokemon who greatly benefit from weakened steel types' or their absence are ideal teammates for it. Aggron, Klinklang, Leaf storm Sceptile, Sigilyph, Druddigon, Rhydon, Fighting types and Normal types, to name a few are some really good partners.
Credit goes to Slory for the EV spread (insert Mibbit smilies here please, coz they're the best).
