Garbodor (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Stench
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Clear Smog
- Toxic Spikes
- Spikes
- Rock Blast
Ok it may look like garbadge but with these evs it allows me to set up several layers of hazards and still have hp to spare.
Rock blast hits the birds in Nu and stench gives it an extra flinch chance on each hit.
Clear smog ruins set up pokemon.

This allows me to hit back extrmemly hard.
This guy proves good synergy with mushrana and can hit teams very hard.
It was origionally a joint core with a stuntank as well but it was rubbish so now just mushrana and gurduur.

Answer 1

Okay, I just battled this team, so I've seen it in action. I'm new to the tier and will not be offended if you find some of my suggestions to be not beneficial.

Garbodor

So, I honestly feel this Pokemon is holding you back. I understand you want the t-spikes and all, but since Stunktank is very popular in NU, you rarely get any use from them. I suggest you use Weezing instead. With Weezing you get so many great moves, Clear Smog, Destiny Bone, Haze, Explosion, Fire blast, Flamethrower, Memento, Pain Split, ect. It can literally fit into your team any way you want

Set here (too lazy to post)

Magmortar & Musharna

Even though they didn't get much use in our battle, they look fine to me.

Haunter

Why do you have a ghost type if your team isn't threatened by fighting moves. IMO, it's just another lost Pokemon to the oh so common Stunktank I would suggest Simisage great Pokemon, often overlooked, GREAT synergy with your team.

Nasty Plot Set

Gurdurr

I see where you're going with this. No issues.

Hope I could help out a bit.

Comments

Yeh I originally had stun tank in making the infamous psychic,dark and fight core but I didn't like it.
I will consider wheezing defiantly though.
Simisage I will try, haunted was only there to revenge kill.
Mushrana didnt get much use because you tricked it a scarf lol :D that's like a ham sandwich without ham.

keep garboder becuase it is awesome at setting up spikes/toxic spikes
