The Skill to Swap!

I thought of using my favorite move skill swap in one of my teams and here is how i thought to use it for 2 pokemon

Medicham @ salac berry
jolly
252 speed/ 252 attack/ 4 hp
Moves:
endure
zen headbutt
brick break
pain split

Mespirt @ leftovers?
jolly
200 attack/ 252 speed/ 56 hp?
Moves:
~~skill swap~~ Role Play
Zen headbutt
Ice punch
Thunderpunch

The idea is to send them out together on the first turn, Medicham uses endure and mesprit uses role play which changes mesprit attack to 596! Mesprit has zen headbutt for stab, and Ice punch and thunder punch for coverage. Medicham hopefully gets his salac berry attivated the first turn. Then eithers uses pain split to weaken the foe and get its health back, if nothing else he can use a stabed zen headbutt or brick break to deal some minor damage.

If you have any tips or changes or me i would be more then happy to use them

A Medicham without Pure Power really can't do allot of damage, so you should either change his set for a Support Set or change to another pokemon with Atk boosting ability that can work as a Supporter.

Yes that can work. Switch Zen Headbutt and Brick Break for the Screens. And maybe switch Pain Split for somthing. Helping Hand can work. And you can also change Medichams EVs so he can be a little more bulky.

Looks good. Don't think you will be needing Endure if you he is Bulky now, but you can try and see if it works. If not, you can just go with a random attacking move as a filler (like Brick Break).OR you can have Skill Swap there or on the last slot, to save a move slot for Mesprit.

Helping hand can really help your sweep (that is if medicham learns it, havent checked personally...), and so will screens. maybe even be amazingly original and give him a special moveset!

o and shoddy doesnt have doubles battles (at least not the last time i checked)
