RTP "Ouchtops"(Kabutops)

[1HKO]

My tank breaking Kabutops (only works when rain is in effect)
"Ouchtops" (Kabutops) @ Sticky Barb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 188 HP/252 Atk/68 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Knock Off(To give the tank you are attempting to break the barb)
- Protect(Gives Knock off more time to do it's thing)
- Waterfall(General stab move)
- Stone Edge(Ditto)
The idea is to give an opponent sticky barb, and kill them from there. Works extra well on walls/sponges/tanks. I even hit switches with knock off just to ensure that they don't have an item! Protect is to stall while Sticky Barb does it's thing, it also is very surprising how many times I get this result:
1)My guy gets KO ed
2)I bring in Kabutops
3)Kabutops uses Knock off
3a)Opponent uses U-turn
3b)The opponent gets stuck with sticky barb
The opponent ends up having their Celebi(/other cleric) have a reverse leftovers damaging item stuck to them. You can then protect to scout out what the opposing Pokemon is doing.

I would rather use something like Alakazam to Trick/ Switcheroo the item onto the opponent with no chance of them giving it back. You also get an item like leftovers, which is better'n having no item at all.

Isn't this like inflicting a less effective form of burn/poison? Of course, on a Kabutops, it'll be unexpected. However, almost every pokemon in the game can learn Toxic.

Hmm. Exactly what pokemon are you trying to counter with this? I don't see celebi fearing kabutops too much.

Shouldn't RTP's be more than one set?
