What is a good sweeper that doesn't rely on speed and has tonnes of attack and isn't beaten by priority?
I have a Ninjask on my team, a Cresselia, a Starmie and a Kyurem-B, Cress is for setting up screens so Kyurem doesn’t get killed Starmie is for Rapid Spinning but I need another Pokemon that isn’t harrased by priority and has loads of attack, any ideas?

Well there are a few but I can only think of 3 right now
All 3 of them have and outstanding attack stat and can demolish without needing speed as a main factor.However in order for Gliscor to sweep at his best he will often need a boost from Agility and Sword Dance.
I would say that Metagross is the best out of the three seeing that it has the best Attack stat, lesser need of speed compared to the other too and can take all the priority moves outstandingly well. Here is a little chart
Neutrally affected by:
Resistant to:
Weak to:
Packed with 130 base Defense the priority moves will be doing nothing. It has a high offensive presence as a base 135 Attack will enable it to hit like a truck. When boosted by a choice band it will most likely be KOing to 2HKOing everything in the tier barring the defensive titans.
Pros
Cons
Scizor has always been a great Pokemon and is a Star in OU. It’s has an outstanding Attack stat as well as a nice defense. It’s ability should be what makes Scizor such a great Bulky Attacker. Since it learns a lot of moves with a base power of 60 and lower, they all reach a nice base power thanks to Technician

Bullet Punch is pretty much Scizor’s signature move as there is no other Pokemon that can use it better then Scizor itself. This is all to thank to Technician. After one Sword Dance boost, Scizor’s power reaches extreme levels that crushes any unresisting Pokemon
Pros
Cons
Gliscor is the fastest out of the 3 and is pretty much a little poison dart. When it is boosted in attack and speed just once, it is capable of sweeping an entire team due to it’s wide movepool. With it’s high defenses, it fears little and it can take all but Ice shard well
Neutrally affected by:
Resistant to:
Weak to:
It has a nice base 95 Attack stat, base 95 Speed stat and a wonderful base 125 Defense stat that make it quite the wall. After One Sword Dance it is capable of sweeping like a boss whiles Agility which is not as needed as Sword Dance will enable it to outpace majority of the tier. With access to both the STAB Earthquake and Acrobatics, Gliscor should not be taken lightly
Pros
Cons
I personally think that these are very good bulky attackers that will work well including on your team. I will add might add some more when I think of them

Not harassed by Bullet Punch, Ice Shard, Quick Attack, Fake Out, etc. Agility sweeper Metagross has a ton of attack and it’s usually low speed is boosted to high levels by Agility. If you are planning on Ninjask passing speed, then some other move can be used to fill in the spot. I suggest passing some attack boosts too becuase Metagross doesn’t learn Swords Dance :(

Well this may be because I really like this guy but go Ampharos(I go Mega but you don’t have too)Mega—> Ampahros @AmpharositeMoveset: Confuse RayThunder/ThunderboltDragon PulseFocus BlastIf it is not mega maybe life orb or focus sash
Why confuse Ray??? Because AMPHAROS is slow and if he gets a free hit the it’s gonna be powerful and confuse Ray does it! NOBODY EXPECTS IT and that why I use it. It is 100% and it help with sweeping and just winning in general
Also Focus Blast is good for rock types which most of the type are rock ground and can eq you. Focus Blast one shots them cuz of the lack of special defense.
Thunder/ThunderBolt It an electric type enough said
Dragon Pulse for the Dragons and just for things in between
