Answer 1

Spearow @Focus Sash

Ability-Sniper

EVs-Attack, Speed, and HP

Adamant Nature(-Sp Attack +Attack)

• Agility
• Drill Peck
• U-Turn
• Steel Wing/Return

Your basic Sweeper and Scout. Agility boosts up its Speed so you can outspeed some Sweepers. U-Turn scouts while passing Speed to the Pokemon you send out. Drill Peck is your STAB. Return is STAB but worse than Drill Peck for poor coverage, and Steel Wing is coverage for Rock Types.

Well,uh,what about Keen Eye ability?

Keen Eye is not a good ability to use competitively since opponents rarely use accuracy lowering moves, on the other hand Sniper can be more use effectively because it can at least increase damage on a critical hit.
