Strategy Question

[baronsmeg]

Ok not really battled much, but looking to see if this is a feasible strategy

basically attack PP

spite and pressure on tanks, mixed with healing, and maybe toxic

team - spiritomb, dusclops, and duskinor - all with spite, and pain split
plus an Umbreon BP'ing wish, and mean look - ok dusclops and duskinor wont have spite, but might have a protecting shedinja with spite

trying to think what else might be good.

I know you dont really see this, so that probably answers my question, but has anyone tired this?

thanks

Spite generally isn't worth it. Sweepers like to set up with a Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, and then sweep. So you can spite a Swords Dance, but they would have gotten a free set up. Plus, those that can learn Spite typically have better moves.

Your two Dusclops evolutions, yeah just stick to Dusknoir.

The 4th generation of Pokemon is far too offensive in nature for a stall tactic to work. Stall teams didn't work well in standard 3rd gen, and they work even less in the 4th gen with many more pokemon getting to take advantage of offensive STABs, and many more powerful offensive moves in general.

The best you can do with a stall/wear down slowly tactic is abuse Spikes + Stealth Rock + Sandstorm with Roar, but you really need some offense on your team to deal finishing blows.
