Invincible Pokémon (GenIII-V)

[Dapplegonger]

I'm not sure if this is plausible in competitive play, but I have a theory about creating an invincible Pokémon in double battles.

It requires:

• Sableye/Spiritomb (the invincible one, no training in HP/Def/SpDef required)
• Shedninja
• Fast Pokémon with Skill Swap (as fast as possible, durability as a secondary trait)

I think everyone sees where I'm going with this, but I'll outline the process anyway.

1. Send out Shedninja and Skill Swapper first
2. Skill Swap on Shedninja
3. Switch out Shedninja (or just let it die, it won't take long) and send out Sableye/Spiritomb
4. Use Skill Swap on Sableye/Spiritomb; and...
5. Boom! Invincible Pokémon

Because Sableye and Spiritomb are nonexistant in Generations I and II, and Fairy is super effective against them, so its impossible in Gen VI. The other three generations, though, they are invincible unless the opponent has Skill Swap. I'm open to criticism.

Wonder Guard cannot be Skill Swapped.

I believe scrappy was also introduced in gen 4

For ****s and giggles, Fire Fang also pierces Wonder Guard, regardless of the Pokemon's typing, in Gen 4.

Wonder Guard cannot be Skill Swapped.

Are you serious? I was so excited that I came up with this, even if others had before. Well that sucks.

EDIT: After Your post, I decided to, you know, actually do research on the topic I discussed. I had no idea Wonder Guard had so many weaknesses to it.

You have to do something with Smeargle in a triple battle to give Shedinja Sturdy then Paralyze it to make him invicible.(Paralyzing to avoid burns and Toxic). Be sure you don't switch out on Stealth Rocks either.

Lastly, things like Perish Song and Destiny Bond still kill it.

if so, then skill swap that away from slaking and just wreck house...
