Swoop! Teleporter seems only like a strong play vs. LBS or decks that uses Steelix ex. Let's look at the big picture too, because we can agree Shedinja Stall have specific weaknesses that needs to be taken account of:
-Nincada getting sniped by Steelix ex
-Latios d/Latias d that shuts down Poke-Bodies from evolved non Pokemon-ex.
-Specific attacks that can de-evolve Shedinja and achieve KO at the same time - such as ATM: [Rock] and Mew ex HP's Devo Crush.
I think the biggest threats against Shedinja Stall are Raichueggs.dec, Mewtric, LBS, and Rock Lock.
-Effects of attacks can be neutralized with Holon Energy WP and Water Energy.
-Curse Powder vs. Swoop! Teleporter - I can assume my opponent is smart enough not to leave Steelix ex unless he/she can snipe a Nincada or something for a prize. So Swoop! Teleporter is still questionable even vs. LBS
-I will post a new list soon, but the toughest puzzle to solve would be the Latios d/Latias d. If you guys can help me with your suggestions, that'll be great.
Nincada and Shedinja have 50hp, so I don't see how you plan on using ATM Rock to devolve a shedinja and get a KO...
There are only four pokemon that I know of that can ATM Rock/Devo Flash and get a KO.
Walrein ex
Typhlosion UF
Victreebel RG
Tyranitar (Sand-Damage)(and they have to be benched)
Other than that, you can't ATM Rock for a prize, unless the Shedinja has 40hp on it, and you can place a damage counter in-between turns...
The biggest threat to Shedinja is virtually EVERY deck.
Queen can attack for 50 many times by turn three or turn two. You only place 2 counters on it, and your gyms don't hurt it. They can OHKO a fossil/shedinja every turn, and it would take 4 turns to build enough damage on it to ATM Rock it for a KO, and by then a Briney would be played, or the player would simply retreat it for a new Nidoqueen.
Liability is even more dangerous, since they play energy root. A rooted 130hp typhlosion would need to be hit 5 times to get enough damage for an ATM Rock KO. Other than that, you get OHKO'd every single turn.
Mewtric and you can't play fossils.
Eggs hits everything on the field for 20 and barely gets scratched by you, not to mention free retreat and your stone/ruins does nothing.
20, 20, 20-OOPS KO for EVERYTHING.
Let's see... LBS can snipe your Nincadas, so you either need to swoop or use rare candy.
Mewtric can also snipe your Nincadas and prevent new fossils from being laid.
Dragtrode is probably in your favor, since they are really hurt by cursed stone. They can't lay electrodes down or else they'll give prizes, and attacking with sneasel would be suicide. But even then, the ability to lay 4 dark on a sneasel and drag off prizes any time you lay a nincada will NOT sit well. It's still an iffy matchup.
So, against any decent player, you have a bad matchup for almost every popular deck being played right now.
Mewtric
Reggs
Queen
LBS
Liability
Dragtrode is iffy...
I think the only deck you literally do WELL against is cham, mynx, and lunasol.
