New Strategy I'm Liking

So I came up with this team that uses Prankster Liepard with Assist on a team that only allows it to get Spore from using Assist (essentially creating a priority Spore). It's pretty cool and would be much more deadly if it weren't for the Sleep clause. Anyways here is the team:


Liepard (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Foul Play
- Assist
- Swagger

Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Transform

Breloom (F) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Protect
- Counter

Gengar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Trick
- Metronome
- Destiny Bond
- Counter

Mew @ (No Item)
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thief
- Transform
- Trick
- Metronome

Wobbuffet (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Def / 228 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Counter
- Mirror Coat
- Destiny Bond

As I said the sleep clause prevents this team from being ridiculously strong but it is still a lot of fun to use. One of it's greatest weaknesses is opposing substitutes  since they block transform and status ailments and because there are almost no direct attacking moves on the team.

I'm working on making this team in-game right now, after which I imagine it will be a beast in random wi-fi where there is no sleep clause.

Anyways here is a video of it in action on Pokemon Online, sorry the video has no music or narration so it is sort of dry, but hopefully you can appreciate the strategy going on.
