Wouldn't Knock Off be a good move on the "Toxic Spike Phazer"?You could get rid of Lefties on walls (taking them down faster with the TSpikes) or a Band/Specs/Orb off an attacker.The loss of power on the attackers might let Drapion live and keep doing his thing.
Also,which one of these sets look like it could abuse Acupressure better?
Drapion @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs:252 HP/4 Atk/252 Sp.Def
Nature:Careful (-Sp.Atk + Sp.Def)
-Crunch
-Acupressure
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
or
Drapion @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs:252 HP/4 Atk/252 Sp.Def
Nature:Careful (-Sp.Atk + Sp.Def)
-Crunch
-Acupressure
-Substitute
-Filler (see below)
Some of the filler options are Taunt or Whirlwind to prevent opposing setups or phazing.Confuse Ray or Attract could maybe be used to get a few extra boosts with their 50% chance of incapacitating the enemy.Otherwise stick an extra coverage like EQ or whatever.
I'm kind of interested in trying out this scorpion and am kind of interested in an Acupressure set as it can take advantage of defense and evasion boosts with Battle Armor stopping crits.Obviously attack and speed boosts would go towards sweeping.So thoughts on how to improve this?
