#NewMeta Sets

Slow and Steady
Nature: Relaxed (+def, -spe)
EV Spread: 252 Hp 150 Def 106 Atk
Item: Eviolite
Move set: Gyro Ball, Swords Dance, Sacred Sword, Shadow Sneak/Shadow Claw

Description:
With a defense of 150 and speed of 35 doublade is a great slow physical wall. With added defense through eviolite and less speed through it's relaxed nature, a stab gyro ball will be sure to do amazing damage. Swords dance will be a way to raise it's physical attack while still maintaining it's great physical bulk. This set will be sure to rattle the opposing team and stop most physical attackers in their tracks.

The Bond Of Stalling
Nature: Impish (+Def -Spatk)
EV Spread: 252 Def 252 hp 4 Atk
Item: Eviolite
Move set: Destiny Bond, Swords Dance, Sacred Sword, Shadow Sneak

Description:
Similar to Slow and Steady this set is meant to be a wall without being too slow. Shadow Sneak allows to make up for the 35 base speed with priority. With destiny bond in your move set there will be an almost guaranteed kill with doublade if the set is used correctly. Scare your opponent into stalling out his pokemon and allow them to be the blade to their own demise.

Would you say a bulky automize sweeping set is viable?
