Never use Shuckle. Replace it with a physical wall.

Make Ninjask Jolly, and give it 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP

Give Metagross MM / Earthquake / Thunderpunch or Ice Punch / Explosion

Give Blissey Seismic Toss > Thunderwave

Give Houndoom Modest Nature, Life Orb, and Flamethrower / Dark Pulse / Hidden Power [Ice / Grass / Electric] / Nasty Plot

Make Dusknoir Careful, Max HP and then distribute the rest of the EVs in the defenses, Shadow Punch / Thunderpunch / Will-o-Wisp / Pain Split

Yup that's really smart having Shuckle use power trick to swap it's own attack and defense. Between it's low speed, low HP, and now low defense stat, it isnt going to be able to do anything, and with your set, it does even less than nothing against Gengar, who is immune to all your forms of damage. I'm wondering if anyone would even bother trying to put you to sleep? Maybe they'll just use WoW and stall you out.

i was thinking of using ninjask to baton pass attack and speed to shuckle that way it wouldn't be so slow and when i used power trick, its defense wouldn't suck that much because of swords dance...

um, i don't think ninjask needs the extra speed boost, since its speed stat is already really high- but im not sure, i'll have to find out.

your other recomendations are good- i forgot about dark pulse for houndoom. maybe skarmory instead of shuckle.

passing speed to shuckle is stupid

+6 speed to shuckle is basically its base speed x3
WHICH GIVES IT A MASSIVE 15 BASE SPEED WOAH.
