Gengar @ Black Sludge
jinkuro_the_gengar_by_hawke525-d2yvv8i.png

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Ball
Gengar is a sweeper. He has huge special attack, and can set up a sub. I chose him over Alakazam because he can not only take a hit, but heal behind a substitute.

Scrafty @ Leftovers
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spd
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Crunch
- Dragon Claw
After Scrafty sets up one dragon dance game over. The only thing that can out speed him is a scarfed poke. Also, his moxie ability sends him to sweep city.

Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 148 HP / 252 SAtk / 108 Spd
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
Nidoking has huge boosts with his ability. Not only does STAB affect two of his moves, but sheer force raises all of their power by 30%. Sheer force negates life orb. Sludge Bomb and EP hit at 175 power while the others hit at 117.

Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 140 HP / 252 SAtk / 116 Spd
Modest Nature

- Dragon Pulse
Blastoise does have fake out pressure, but the ability is huge. Mega Launcher allows huge boosts to Auraua Shere and dragon pulse. Water Pulse over hydro pump because of accuracy.

Greninja @ Expert Belt
Ability: Protean
EVs: 84 Atk / 172 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature

Greninja has huge support. He allows for scrafty to set up safely. He can also hit decently with Ice Beam And Hydro Pump, and switch out with U-Turn.

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Brave Nature
- Shadow Claw/Sgadow Seak
- Iron Head
- King's Shield
- Swords Dance
Aegislash is a beast. He can swords dance, then attack for huge power. Weakness policy also allows him to take a hit and get a stat boost. King's shield helps cripple physical threats.

Overall the typing is quite spread, I do however see a blaring threat. A focus sashed Weavile, being fast and strong, will outspeed your gengar and kill it with ease which opens the door for one swords dance. Aerial ace will take out your scrafty with ease. Icicle crash on Nidoking, and a STAB night slash on blastoise will most definitely leave a dent. With your comp i highly recommend the weakness policy Aegislash or even a Scizor with mega stone.

Thanks, I didn't even realize how open I was to weavile, until now. I was thinking aegislah too, but with scizor, I have no friends to trade
