M-Gallade and Hoopa could make use of Skill Swap. Their abilities are mostly useless, and they could cripple some good OU mons by taking away their abilities.

Skill Swap Stantler is fun in /wfg/ multis.
You can Skill Swap Intimidate onto your ally to get the opponent down to -2 in one turn, or give it to the opponent to activate a partner's Defiant or Competitive.

Although perfectly understandable, it sucks that wonder guard can not be skill swopped.

Protean Slaking doesn't sound too bad, normal-types learn a lot of moves, right?

Skill Swap Cresselia's Leviate onto M-Diancie and you get the ultimate counter to Mega Fug if you can pull it off.

Cresselia can also Skill Swap levitate onto Heatran to avoid those quakes.

Skill Swap Girafarig's Sap Sipper onto M-Swampert for guaranteed laffs.

Entrainment Klutz bunnies, Iron Fist or Scrappy panda and lazy ant can work too.

OK I'm ready to start taking suggestions on how to improve this team… this was an instant forfeit from him but will keep playing to see how it badly works.

You can use Entrainment to pass Wonder Guard. There's an infamous triple battle where someone setup an unkillable Minun against one of Showdown's mods.

Even better, use it with Intimidate Salamence and keep trading Intimidate to your opponent afterwards. You will keep lowering their attack and Salamence will keep getting more and more attack.

I've seen this with Arcanine, Mega Rayquaza, Salamence and Victini and its never done anything noteworthy.

I've looked into it a little bit, Spinda is better off either skill swapping opponents (losing things like Telepathy/negging boosters grants greater leverage) or doing something under Trick Room or Tailwind.

Well, duh. We all know or at least really should know that giving Slaking an Ability that's merely useless instead of actively harmful is enough to break it. Hell, it'd be pretty good if you gave it Defeatist, what with that bulk + Slack Off.

Giving it an amazing ability like Protean is like putting surface-to-air missiles on Akantor.

for what purpose?
smogon somehow fucked the balance, that's why mega salamence is banned.

No pentagon rule means follow me jirachi is allowed, which breaks the salamence.

If they had pentagon rule, they'd arguably have no bans.

The one Pokemon in singles that seriously uses Skill Swap is Azelf, to get past Magic Bounce users. Using it against Mega Sableye is incredibly risky, though.

Besides that, anything that's Azumarill bait could spare the moveslot, like Mega Gallade and Diancie.
