Although Specs Shadow Ball Whims is a cool lure, the team's offensive core still struggles mightily against Cresselia and bulky Psychics. With no Fairy resists either, the last member must be a Steel-type. Since it is offensive, that rules out stuff like Bronzong (offensive could work if Pert didn't have SR) or Forry. This leaves Shuca Defog Empoleon, Doublade, or Metagross. Metagross is ass on offense without SR and Explosion, and Emp does not help at all vs Cress/Slowking/Reuni + compounds the teams already massive Fighting weakness. Thus, it must be Doublade, which checks Psychics, is immune to Fighting, and checks Aero (which wins if Pert gets weakened). The lack of Defog is fine considering 4 mons resist Rocks
