Would a Thundurus set of..

Thundurus @ Leftovers
Bold
252HP/176Def/80SpDef
Thunder Wave
Taunt
Volt Switch
Thunderbolt

be competitively viable? I already use it in GBU which is technically just 3v3 OU, and it works rather well, but people keep telling me that OU is apparently "a much different metagame", so I'd like a PO-user's input on this set (It's probably just a more-Defensive variant of the standard support Thundurus, but still).

I'd test it myself, but I don't like in-game colosseum 6v6 matches, and I don't have access to PO, nor would I be allowed to download it anyway.

Please give more details like the EVs and sets of the pokemon -- and how your general strategy would work out.

And any others that may be opened up again are most likely doomed for closing. What happened there will likely continue in a new one, pray that doesn't happen.

I'm sorry for probably sounding a bit harsh, but: lolgrassknot, lolthunderfang, lolcurse (Gen II was about 10 years ago), lolbatonpass, lolcounter, lolconfuseray, and please use different EV spreads as those are not efficient at all. It's a bit difficult for me to avoid being a hypocrite, since I can't really recommend spreads without just randomly guessing what sets would work best, so..
 
I'm bored! So I've been going through some of my family's old comics... X-Men in particular and I think it's be really fun to build theme teams based on some of the characters.So any ideas on which 6 pokemon to find for

A. Emma Frost, B. Jean Grey, C. Wolverine. I'd prefer if suggestions were half competitively viable/have some type synergy.

I have no idea who the first two are, but I suggest Moxie Mightyena (Shiny so it's yellow) for Wolverine. Screw viability, Smogon said Corsola doesn't work, but it does.

Edit: If you really need viability, I suppose shiny Lucario could probably work.

Emma Frost = Froslass

Jean Grey = Not sure, um, absol? Not quite competitive, but whatever.

Wolverine = Maybe a dog pokemon of some sort, how about Entei?

Isn't Jean Grey Psychic'ish?
If so, I'd say Espeon.

ok i have multiple ones
Breeloom
spore, substitute, focus punch, leach seed,
ev's 152 health 124 in def 20 speed
 
I haven't played OU in a very long time, and now I'm building an OU team that I want to have screen support. What are the best dual screeners to use in OU as of now (I also have no problem with using UU's or RU's as long as they do their job well)??

Deoxys-S is one of the best due to its immense Speed and access to Taunt.
Espeon is another popular choice; Magic Mirror prevents opposing Taunt.
