Torkoal @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
- Iron Defense
- Amnesia
- Lava Plume
- Rest
Basically by using Shell Armor over White Smoke, your defense setups won't be foiled by a critical hit. Also Amnesia allows you to take special hits relatively well.
252 SpA Life Orb Starmie Hydro Pump vs. +2 252 HP / 252 SpD Torkoal: 104-125 (58.7 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Earth Power vs. +2 252 HP / 252 SpD Torkoal: 109-127 (61.5 - 71.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Taunt really won't shut you down since you have a means of offense plus more than likely you would have gotten to +2 in a stat before you get taunted.
I do like your build idea but it doesn't seem to expand on the abilities of Torkoal
