I'm using Smeargle because it's my favorite Pokémon so I don’t want to replace it. I also like Cloyster for its ability to hit through Sturdy and Focus Sash. I’m really looking for advice on the 3rd member of the team. I have Excadrill right now because it can hit Steel types super effectively but with it all my Pokémon have a weakness to Fighting.
The general strategy is to lead with Smeargle and Spore the opposing lead to sleep so I can set up and Baton Pass to Cloyster. I usually end up doing one Shell Smash since it’s sashed. Lately though I’ve been alternating between Protect and DD with Smeargle until the opponent wakes up and then I Spore them again in order to switch into Cloyster. With this strategy I sometimes don’t need the extra set up with Cloyster. Once Cloyster is set up I Icicle Spear or Rock Blast, I rarely need to Surf but I think I like it over a physical Water type move since I do get the Special Attack boost with Shell Smash and often times with Smeargle’s Moody.
I really only bring in Excadrill when Cloyster faints. There have been rare occasions where I pass Smeargle’s boosts to Excadrill but it’s almost always Cloyster who tries to sweep. For this reason I am thinking or replacing him with a revenge killer that can hit Steel and Water hard since they both wall my team if I can’t adequately set up.
I was thinking of this Dragonite though I haven’t tested it yet:
Dragonite @Expert Belt?
Multiscale Jolly
4Hp/252Atk/252Spe
-Dragon Claw
-ThunderPunch
-Earthquake
-ExtremeSpeed
Would Choice Scarf be a better option since I’m planning on using it unboosted only when Closter goes down?
So to summarize, I’m looking for advice on the 3rd member of this team. I’m not trying to replace Smeargle or Cloyster, but if you have any suggestions on their movesets or a more effective way to use them, that would be fine.
Thanks
