I was wondering if anyone thought that this idea was genius:
Alakazam@lefties
Timid, 255 sp. att., 255 sp.
Psychic
shock wave
Guard Swap
Recover

Send him out in a double battle along with a shuckle; use guard swap on shuckle on the first turn. Nice, easy special sweeper/tank
Also, If you want, have your 3rd poke be blissey:
Blissey@lefties
Nuetral nature, 255 HP, 255 Sp. att.
flamethrower
ice beam
thunderbolt
softboiled

use the attack on him and bang! invincible. Maybe get rid of one of those attacks for refresh if blissey can learn it...

Well, one problem. Both blissey and shuckle have horrible spd and would probably get OHKOd if you were to do that.

As for the whole Blissey idea, you should look into porygon-z.

With modest and 252 EVs into Spc atk he gets 405 Spc atk and decent spd

Well, if Alakazam gives/takes the defenses on the first turn, there won't be any need for speed.
And I agree with porygon-z; it's just that blissey with HP in the high 600's and defenses in the low 600's to high 500's would be invincible except for toxic and OHKO moves

Do you mind me asking why you have Shock Wave on Alakazam?

one <s>very minor</s>huge problem...Guard Swap swaps stat changes, not stats. If Alakazam's Defense was lowered one stage by Tail Whip and it used Guard Swap on a Shuckle which hasn't been affected by a stat lowering/raising move, Shuckle would be given the Defense stage drop and Alakazam would be rid of it.

whoops... Guess i'm reading a bit too quickly... :(
Thought it was a good idea though.
And shock wave was in case it ran into a dark type (could've used focus blast though)

Well I was thinking about Charge Beam instead of Shock Wave. It's slightly weaker and slightly less accuarate, but it has a 70% chance of raising your Sp Atk.
