Special Attacker Cradily

[Ludo]

So I came up with this idea with a friend to make a Bulky Special Sweeper Cradily. I know Cradily is mostly used for either support or physical attacks, but I have a feeling this build could work. Here's the build:

Nature: Modest
Item: ? 
Ability: Suction Cups
EVs: 252 SpA, 126 SpD, 126 Def, 4 HP
Move set: 

• Calm Mind (To buff up both special attack and defense) 
• Ancient Power (Counters: Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice) 
• Energy Ball (Reliable STAB move) 
• HP Ground/Recover (HP Ground can be used take out both Steel and Poison types, Recover could be there instead to improve longevity) 

Let me know what you guys think? If their are any adjustments to the EV spread or Move set let me know. Keep in mind also that this build in intended for Singles.

I'm thinkin Storm Drain. :3 Lum Berry could be your best option item wise. Just so you can get rid of that surprise Toxic and then switch into your Steel or Poison type on the next one.

Took another look at the ability Storm Drain and I agree, but unfortunately neither Tito nor I have Lileep with the HA, but if you manage to find make sure it makes its way to one of us.
