[SET COMMENTS]

<p>One of ninjask's biggest trouble in the OU tier is bulk, easily getting OHKOed by the ever present CB Scizor if it runs no HP or Def evs. This set can overcome that. With an impish nature, it becomes almost unbelievable bulky for a ninjask, and can even survive a +2 LO Bullet punch from adamant scizor if you're lucky. This means scizor can not switch in to force ninjask out. Additionally, many moves that would break the 0hp/0def ninjask's substitudes can not break its substitutes. For example, Machamp often likes to use dynamic punch on ninjask, hoping to conserve stone edge PP as ninjask protects and subs. This is prefectly fine on the Jolly sets, but not on this one, because your substitutes will remain intact, giving you a free swords dance. The lost speed is not really an issue. Ninjask is going to outspeed everything after a speed boost, so just use protect if the foe threatens to be scarved or has base 115 speed and above.</p>
 
I am not quite sure if this is really effective. Perhaps if you were to include some exact calculations and logs of this being successful then if could be looked at.

Also you have baton pass as two of your moves and you spelled "Substitute" wrong consistently throughout your very short analysis.
 
Cb Bullet Punch on 0 hp / 0 def Ninjask = >100%

CB Bullet Punch on this ninjask = 54-66%
SD LO Bullet Punch on this= 97%-110%

Effective? just try it and see for now. I'll post logs later. Ninjask can pass +2 speed even if CB Scizor switches in on the same turn as ninjask. I think that's pretty impressive.
 
Firstly capitalize everything pokemon related (e.g "Scizor","Ninjask",EVs")

Secondly I think this would need a bit more explanation.A single paragraph won't be enough to call it an "O.K analysis".I feel that you should put some more effort into this.

Finally I question the viability of such a set.The damage calculations doesn't help at all to show this,And Ninjask may be better off with ignoring its already low defenses and go with the standard baton passing set.

Not the best explanation but you get the point.

(P.S 4 Spd EVs is not recommended even with Speed Boost)
 
Lack of explaination / calculations / not under our guidelines, etc. Closing. PM me once you've written the set correctly.
