I am not certain abput this combo, but it looks pretty promising. The fact that I am doing this here is that I don't want the rest of the world to here about it if it is really good. I just want some advice from my clan.

Shuckle
Defense boosting nature
You tell me a good item.
Moves:
Stealth Rock
Toxic Spike
???
???

Cloyster
Defense Boosting Nature
Spikes
???
???
???
Aerodayctyl
I need a nature
Whirlwind
Roar
Sleep Talk
Rest

This is obviously meant to be a stall strategy. I send out shuckle to lay out toxic spikes and stealth rock. He will easily survive. I send out Cloyster, he lays down three layers of spikes. Switch into Aerodactyl. He take some damage. Uses rest. Uses Sleep Talk. 2/3 chance of getting a forced switch move. Opponent takes major damage. Repeat Aerodactyl's attacks. I know this probably isn't all this good, but I just want some advice from you guys before taking it into the world. Also if you could provide me with some nice EVs, that would be nice. Also Aerodactyl wants to remain defensive, but fast, so he can sneak in sleep talk. The reason I induced the sleep is because Roar and Whirlwind have low priority.

It is basically a version of skarmbliss that does more passive damage. I also left in empty move slots for more offensive moves if they are needed.

I should try a Shuckle in one of my shoddy teams... I need more teams anyways I only have one for every tier but Uber... strangley enough...

Staring at my phone
@ PokePownage: A few things are wrong there:

Shuckle doesn't get Toxic Spikes, and if you're
looking to stall you may wanna try this...

Shuckle @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
252 HP/252 Atk/6 Def
*Sturdy*
~ Rest
~ Rock Slide
~ Earthquake
~ Acupressure

I love this set, he's pretty much unstoppable
after a few lucky boosts.

Cloyster is just eh, so I'll leave that one...

As for Aero, his defenses are just awful, and
can't really pull off a ResTalk set. I see where
you're going with it though, and I think maybe
Zapdos or even Tropius would pull it off better.

Hope this helps. ^^

Check that. Toxic Spikes should be part of Cloyster's setup.

try evs in hp and def w/ leftover
whirlwind
body slam (to para hax them)
rest
sleep talk
i think it might be ok....substitute might be useless and waist of hp...lets see what other people would say. but snorlax i think is a better choice than aero.

Actually, I was wrong about the tourney matchups. It was actually me v Clone and SRTHIZZ v Al... I am really sorry I think everyone listened to me. Maybe these timezones will be easier.

Sorry guys, I'm really starting to think about closing this Clan. It's really not active enough, and I haven't gotten a VM/PM about points since February. If I do decide (I mostly likely will decide to) to, I will donate shinies.

Sorry again

EDIT: Clan is being closed. Sorry everyone.
