Looks like I will be bringing back Scarf Drapion with Pursuit as my revenge killer. Back when Missy was number 1 in UU usage it was easily the all star on the team getting revenge KO's and occasionally getting a late game sweep.
And as someone who had looked into getting the sharpedo lead into the analysis, it looks like I will need to finish my long neglected Sharpedo update.

Yeah.
Skuntank is a better Scarfer than Drapion even if it's not his best set too.
On a note: i'm gonna run a Stockpile Camerupt to see if it's any good on him.
Stockpile
Rest
Toxic
Lava Plume/Earth Power
If Scizor is such a big problem, then maybe Nasty Plot Mismagius could work Magnezone support.
That works, as well as using a lure, such as Latias with HP Fire.
Why is there no notched ear pichu? I wanted to use him as a baton pass recipent.
Okay, I've only done a few battles so far, but I'll list my opinions on the six UUs I think are doing the best. . Later, I'll post my final UU opinions, and start Ubers.
Aggron: Oh my god this thing is so much fun! I love it I love it I love it. It KICKS ASS
Sharpedo: This guy fails with Super Fang + Brine. Even most walls can KO it on the superfang turn.
Crawdaunt: He almost never set up, but when he does, watch out! :)
Mismagius: I thought everyone would overprepare for this guy, and he would suck. But I was wrong. Although aggron breaks the game wide open, this one is my MVP. Sweeps anygame...as long as crawdaunt or Feraligatr doesn't first!
Feraligatr: He's doing pretty good. With leichi, torrent, and a swords dance under his belt, aqua jet can sweep.
Honchkrow: With Brave Bird, this thing is amazing. Better than drill peck. He's an emo bird, go suicidal anyway. Doing upwards of 60% to milotic is nice.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you. I used it effectively in a number of cases. I would also rather have EQ of explosion.
The problem is, that Toxic stall is usually used to slowly kill the bulky waters, which Camerupt doesn't even dare to switch into. Maybe bulky grasses...But then again, most in UU are part poison anyway o.O, and Registeel's immune.....
For Ho-Oh, is it better to replace Earthquake with Brave Bird on the Life Orb set??
So the set is:
Ho-oh @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs:
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Sacred Fire
- Brave Bird
- Substitute
- Roost
What do I miss coverage-wise now that I have BB on Ho-Oh?? (The only real one I can think of is Dialga, but they get 2HKO'd most of the time anyway)

Heatran and Tyranitar.
Depends on your team. Ho-oh can stall Heatran, and sometimes Tyranitar with the help of a burn.
Doug thanks man. I'm looking forward to testing this out tomorrow or as soon as im not busy.
My primary look: Head smash Aggron.
Ah. If Tyranitar comes in, it's not good news for Ho-Oh anyway. Ho-Oh usually needs sun to pwnsome anyway.
recover quagsire and headsmash Aggron just made UU Sandstorm a whole lot better, water absorption + recover makes quagsire a legitimate bulky water for once.
How is Extremespeed Dragonite Holding up? Making any significant impacts?
