Skarmory or Ferrothorn for a Stealth Rock Opener?
I need someone who can Stealth Rock, and then do some damage. Please include movesets. And if you say Ferro with L. Seed and S.R., please tell me how I can breed those moves onto Ferrothorn. Here is my existing team:
Infernape -Close Combat -Grass Knot -Fire Blast -Stone Edge Item Attached: Life Orb Ability: Blaze EVs: 64 Atk / 252 SAtk / 212 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
Scizor -Bullet Punch -U-turn -Superpower -Pursuit Item Attached: Choice Band Ability:Technician EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Swampert - Curse - Earthquake - Avalanche - Waterfall Item Attached: Leftovers Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
Salamence - Draco Meteor - Dragon Pulse - Fire Blast - Hydro Pump Item Attached: Choice Specs Ability: Intimidate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
Tyranitar -Crunch -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Ice Fang Item Attached: Choice Scarf Ability: Sandstream EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature
Thanks!

I would go for Ferrothorn if you want more attack but go with Skarmory for a Good SR lead + Phazer. I suggest a moveset like this:
Skarmory@ LeftoversAbility: SturdyEvs: 252 Hp/ 252 Def or Sp.def/4 Def or Sp.defNature: Impish (+Def,- Sp.Atk)
SR for obvious reasons. Whirlwind to phaze opponents and to take advantage of SR damage. Roost for healing. Brave bird for damage and to not be taunted.
OR
Ferrothorn@ LeftoversAbility: Iron BarbsEvs: 252 Hp/ 60 Def/ 196 Sp.DefIvs: 0 SpeNature: Careful (+Sp.Def, -Sp.Atk)
SR is SR. Power Whip is STAB. Gyro ball HURTS since ferrothorn is slow. Leech Seed to recover Hp while damaging the opponent.
Oh yeah, you can breed torterra with Ferrothorn. Torterra learns Leech seed by level up while SR by Gen 4 TM.
