What would be a better item for my Shell Smash Cloyster set?

Question

What would you choose? White herb / Life orb? @Cloyster.~~
These are the details:

Cloyster (M) @Life Orb/White Herb
Trait: Skill Link
EV's: 252 Spe / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Careful Nature: (+SpD -SpA)
~Shell Smash
~Spike Cannon
~Icicle Spear
~Razor Shell

Thanks!

Answer 1

White Herb.
Life Orb lowers Cloyster's HP, which will decrease the length of its sweep.
White Herb cancels out the Defense drop, so your Cloyster has more of a chance of surviving.

And also, use Rock Blast over Spike Cannon.

It's the standard Shell Smash Cloyster set.

I say focus sash is better. Cloyster is really easy to take out and 90% of the time if they don't switch out on shell smash your cloyster will easily be stopped by any basic attack + quick attack.
