Curse Starter Spiritomb

EDIT: due to the fact that blah is a forgetful person, Natures that you may want to use with this set include Calm, Impish, and Jolly. I believe that Blah's is Calm and mine is Impish. It all depends whether you want to resist special hits or physical hits more.



This is the supposed counter to everything RVOK makes up...He made a sandstorm team recently and thanks to this guy I ended up with a 4-0. It's very similar to your basic starter Spiritomb, but if used right it is extremely powerful.

Evs:
252 hp / 140 atk / 116 spd - this is for outspeeding some slower walls
or
252 hp/140 atk/116 spDef - give you a better chance against special sweepers

Moveset:
Persuit
Will-o-wisp
Pain Split
Curse

Basically Spiritomb makes a good starter because it has no weaknesses. If they send in a primarily attack using pokemon such as Ttar or Gyarados etc.. then will-o-wisp to start. If they send out something else that you are pretty sure can't take you out then use curse. Right after you use curse, pain split. If you want to try to predict a switch then pursuit. Just remember curse is gotten rid of when they switch out but not when they baton pass. That is what this set was originally made for actually to counter poriyan1's baton passing team.

Counters:
Be careful when pain splitting. If they switch in something low on hp...well you get screwed. A Special Sweeper will do the most damage to this as attack sweepers get will-o-wisp. Encore on curse could screw this up pretty well too. But mostly just be careful a lot of the good from this set comes from being able to make some decent predictions and not making a lot of mistakes.

So yeah that's the nefarious counter to everything of RVOK's.

P.S
We decided to post the counter to everything of RVOK's because someone named...RVOK...voted in the poll and I didn't and Spiritomb would have won over Ttar if
A) I voted or
B) he didn't

Also if we get enough comments we'll post the Ttar set ...even though we prolly will eventually anyway.
