Swanna @ Life Orb / Leftovers
Ability: Hydration (who cares? all are poop)
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Speed
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Scald
- Roost
- Defog
If we run Musha, then we need a spinner/defoger, TS are dead, and Scraggy doesnt like to see her bulk destroyed by spikes or he would lose so many set up chances. Swanna gives more offensive presence than any other defoger, and this team need some offensive presence because the huge amount of prior damage needed for a sweep (you cannot get 3 boost againts every team, and our win condition is a base 75 Atk without EVs or Nature).
And swanna need more love, i never see she in the ladder (even lumineon is more common, and lumineon is poop ya know).

So Scyther sorta takes a big poopoo on this team so far. I'd suggest another defensive mon but it seems we're quite set on those for now. Here's something that I think might work pretty well.


Piloswine @ Eviolite
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash

The one problem I have with this is that you mentioned how Scyther is a threat, but this Piloswine can't swap in on a Brick Break from Scyther at all :/
252 Atk Choice Band Scyther Brick Break vs. 244 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Piloswine: 176-208 (43.7 - 51.7%) -- 9% chance to 2HKO.
Now, how much do you do back with an Ice Shard on a non-eviolite Scyther?
252+ Atk Piloswine Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Scyther: 144-170 (51.2 - 60.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Now, Banded is only a Scyther variant. Let's see a +2 (SD) Eviolite Scyther...
+2 252 Atk Scyther Brick Break vs. 244 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Piloswine: 234-276 (58.2 - 68.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I mean, Icicle Crash doesn't even OHKO.
You pretty much have to get something killed/have a better switch in before going into Piloswine. This is not the solution we are looking for. It's a good mon, just not for this team.
