Answer 1

HAZARD LEAD

Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet/leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Def / 252 Spd
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes/toxic
- Toxic/leech seed
- Iron Head/knock off
Nat Dex Hazard Lead. Start by placing rocks and spikes(optional) and then toxic opponents. Works really well if they don’t have hazard removal and even if they do there is still toxic. Iron barbs and rocky helmet so if they kill it they take hits in the process. Leftovers is recovery. Iron head for offensive presence so it isn’t completely useless if taunted. Knock off is item removal and offender. EV spread for bulk. Nature for bulk
ENJOY :D

Answer 2

I'm thinking
Nature: Relaxed (+def -spd)
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: Def and Attack
Item: Rocky Helmet
-Curse
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rocks
-Sucker Punch/ Bulldoze/ Payback

If you are using it for double battles I would go with Bulldoze and pair it with a Trick Roomer but if not Sucker Punch or Payback will really start to hurt after a couple Curses

Ferrothorn can't get Sucker Punch.
