Xatu

am going to build a team to challenge one of my friends with and am going to try something different, something he hasn't seen before so i thought to use Xatu, i have used it before with a different set, and here's my idea.

Xatu @ Twistedspoon/leftovers
Synchronize/early bird
Timid
200 sp.atk 180 spd 128 hp

psychic
omnious wind
roost
Silver wind/Protect/U-Turn/Phycho shift

I thought i'd probably use Twistedspoon for that exra boost on psychic inluding the 200 sp.atk ev's, or leftovers to regain a small amount of health each turn.
I'd go with synchronize if i didn't choose to use Psycho shift as my last move and Early bird if i did.

Omnious wind and Psychic are for plain type coverage, roost to regian health.

My main problem is my last move Silver wind and steel wing for more type coverage and protect if i suspect something.

U-turn if i want to hit then switch.

I don't want people telling me this isn't really right for Xatu because i chose it as a surprise for many people, Pokemon are adapting all the time, and anyway if it doesn't work then i don't use it, however it could be really useful and strong.
 
i think you should post this in the single rating thread before it gets locked
 
I have another idea:

Xatu@flame orb
ability: syncro
ev's: 252 speed 128 hp 128 sp.atk
nature: timid

moves:

psycho shift
psychic
roost
protect

Just protect to get burned with flame orb. Then use psycho shift to make your opponent burned. This is useful to defeat physical attackers.
