Comments

No one even commentated that you can't use Gyarados because all Pokemon have to enter as Dark types. Gyarados counts as an illegal Pokemon.

Answer 1

Bisharp

This might just work but a Jolly one with speed evs is preferred. Not bulky enough for a weakness Policy. Maybe try a Life Orb? Psycho Cut works nicely covering something it's 4x weak to. Good job with this one.

Gyarados

Pretty standard set except Jolly is better for that extra speed.
Try this set if yours happens to fail you at any time:
Same evs
-Dragon Dance (set up)
-Aqua Tail (power)
-Ice Fang (Grass weakness)
-Earthquake/Crunch (Power/STAB)

Scrafty

Sash? No way. Make it
something like this:
128 Hp/200 Atk/182 Spd
-Dragon dance
-Poison Jab
-Drain Punch
-Crunch/Knock Off (either works)

Greninja

Everyone seems to run the same thing huh? Maybe try Modest for a little more power? 123 base speed is quite fast and not much can outspeed it in the xy metagame. Other tha that it's perfect.

Skuntank

Not a great Pokemon.
Try an Umbreon:
252 Hp/4 Def/252 Sp.def
-Moonlight
-Protect
-Toxic
-Baby-Doll-Eyes
Quite unexpected. Baby-doll-eyes has nice priority hence the evs. Made to tank and wear out this thing does its job REALLY well.

Sableye

Try:
252 Hp/4 Def/252 Sp.def
Replace Calm Mind with Taunt or maybe Metal Burst. Nice damage to heavy attackers or wear them down slowly? Your choice.
These are just my suggestions though. You don't have to take them!
Hope I helped!
-It's a secret!

Comments

Both of those Salabye sets are awful. Salabye should only ever be Recover, Will-O-Wisp, Taunt and Night Shade. Baby Doll Eyes is by far outclassed by Wish, so using Speed Evs is a complete waste.

Sableye @Leftovers
Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Sp.Def
Recover / WoW / Confuse Ray / Shadow Sneak

Really annoying set! WoW decreases attack stat, Recover + Prankster. Shadow Sneak another priority attack STAB.
Confuse Ray makes them rage quit. My OU team have 6 walls and when they saw it, they quit the battle and I win points xD

---

Shadow Sneak and Confuse Ray..that's pretty bad Shiny Fire.

---

No. I'm using it on my OU team and it already make people to rage. Shadow Sneak as pretty bad Base Power, but I only choiced that because priority.

Also Scrafty should have Chesto Berry with the following moves and EVs:
252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 Sp.Def
Ability: Shed Skin, why no Moxie? Dragon Dance covers well the Attack and Shed Skin is really needed for Rest. Scrafty has GREAT defenses.
- Rest
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Another move, thinking about STAB Crunch.
