Rapid Spinner Leftovers Sand Veil
An often overlooked Pokemon in favour of Donphan, Sandslash can do some serious damage if set up correctly. It suffers from "not enough moveslots" syndrome really, if it had Subsitute there then it could be hard to take down with STAB Earthquakes from a 100 Base Attack Stat, along with potential Sword Dances. Night Slash is there to give a hard punch to any Ghosts who come in on your Rapid Spin.
LOSlash Life Orb Sand Veil
Can be a Choice Bander too if you want the extra power.
Now, you think I've gone wrong in the head by going Poison Jab over X-Scissor/Focus Punch. Well, PJ has 20 PP where as X-S has 15. PJ and X-S both have 80 BD and 100 Acc.. PJ may cause Poison. X-S does nothing. Both will hit Grass Types for big headaches, and Poison does Netural damage on a lot more. Although resisted by Steel, it'll do better against Fire and Flying.
