This is what i run most on my Whimisicott... Open for suggestions if you have them

Moon Blast - STAB fairy move that even without any SpA investment, can do massive damage to common opponents

Cotton Guard - The ability to quickly get your defense up making this pokemon very very bulky

Light Screen - This ability helps both your pokemon on the field and with the light clay the Light Screen will last a little longer so you can keep setting up your Cotton Guard

Tickle- This move lowers ATK and DEF of one of your opponents pokes, so you don't have to keep using Cotton Guard and you can go on the offensive

i dont know where you get the battle calculations

[Marcusube]

Cotton Guard is unnecessary here because even if you get your defenses up, you have no recovery to keep it going. The EV spread has a flaw and that is that it puts Whimsicott in a position where Pranksters can out-speed it and taunt it. A Focus Sash would be better here seeing as how one priority Brave Bird puts Whimsicott in the hot seat. Decent build but needs improvement

ok so i changed Cotton Guard with Giga Dain and i was thinking about getting rid of moon blast for tail wind
