Would this Switcheroo Strategy work?

Question

So I've been thinking of making a Doubles team, and I think I came up with a good strategy for Lopunny and Furfrou.

Furfrou@Whatever item (turns out mega stones can't be switched )
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Fur Coat
Moves:
Cotton Guard
Zen Headbutt
Wild Charge
Headbutt

Lopunny@Assault Vest
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Klutz
Moves:
Switcheroo
Drain Punch
Dizzy Punch
Ice Punch

So here's what I'd do:

Furfrou uses Cotton Guard, and Loppuny uses Switcheroo to switch the Assault Vest with the item (thanks to Klutz, Lopunny can still use Switcheroo despite holding the Assault Vest). Then I can have Furfrou tank everything like a boss thanks to the boost in both of its defenses.

One last thing: if this could work, how many speed EVS would I have to give Lopunny in order for Furfrou to out speed for sure?

EDIT: Turns out mega stones cannot be switched, so I changed it up a little.

All this to get a Cotton Guard boost...? Set up is anyways rather redundant in doubles, so I don't think it's a good idea to center an idea around it.

It doesn't hurt to try. *shrug* I'm just wondering if this would work

Epic strategy.

Answer 1

Tried it on PS!, as I couldn't get it just from Bulbapedia.

This is what they showed me:

Although, it was illegal when I tried to make it learn. I just didn't pay attention.

TL;DR Lopunny can't learn Trick

Besides, it is a waste anyway, since Lopunny is still too frail. You're better off with the regular sets.

EDIT: Still doesn't work.

The check box to mega evolve Lopunny just isn't there.

Learns Switcheroo though

Switcheroo?ohhh I think that's what I meant! I got the two moves messed up. I'm sorry!

---

oh, wait no problem. i'll check it out too.

---

If a Mega stone doesn't work, try just a random item on the Furfrou

---

checked with lopunnite itself. Sorry. Good strategy, though.

Answer 2

It won't work

Mega stones can't be tricked. On the other hand, setting up is kinda redundant in doubles.

Hope this helps!
