Need Help! Good TailWhimsicott Set/EV Spreads?

[JetpackPercy]

Okay, I was thinking of creating a Whimsicott that could play the game of setting up Tailwind and cripple the other team. Here's what I thought of so far:

@ (Item)
Nature: ?
EV: ?
Ability: Prankster
Attacks:
* Stun Spore
* Tailwind
* (Move3)
* (Move4)

Here, Whimsicott wants to cripple as much as he can, while providing the speed the team needs. This is meant to cripple priority attackers. I'm thinking of putting Taunt/Encore in the 3rd/4th Slot to stop setup bait, but, I don't know what to use.

Any suggestions?

Is this for standard 6vs6, flat rules 3vs3 or VGC doubles?

Definitely go with Prankster as the ability, and Taunt can go as the third move. If you're playing doubles, Beat Up works really well in the last spot when paired with Terrakion, but Protect is also perfectly viable. If its just singles, U-Turn is my preferred move in the fourth spot.

For EVs, 252 HP and 252 Defense and basically standard. Whimsicott doesn't need speed because of Prankster. Bold Nature is also standard, but you can go with Impish if you're running U-Turn. The item should be Leftovers.

I'm fighting in Random Battles. It's mainly singles, doubles, and rotation.

To keep it good for all types of battles I would suggest U-Turn/Tailwind/Stun Spore/Leech Seed or Taun. EVs should be 252Hp/252def with an Impish nature just like Bippa said. The item should be Lefties because you can put Lefties on a more important Pokemon because of the item clause. Whimsicott must survive a hit so it can set up Tailwind so something like Coba berry, Occa berry or Focus Sash is better imo.

Sorry if this is rude but, what's the point of investing EVs on Defensive stats if you recommend a Focus Sash? Is it because he could get OHKOd by Heatran?

Whimsicotts attack and sp. attack are bad and it doesn't need the speed so you can either train it in defense or sp.defense. There are some hits that Whimsicott won't take good even with the full defense boost like Flying Gem Acrobatics from Tornadus so things like Coba berry or Focus Sash could be helpful.
