Pearl wins! I'll update the thread with the next subject when I'm on my computer
Cool, this NBT mon is Reuniclus!
Reuniclus @ Choice Specs
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Future Sight
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
This set is a nightmare for a lot of teams, and I'm a huge fan of it. A Future Sight coming from Base 125 Special Attack boosted by Choice Specs destroys everything that is not a Dark-type (or Meloetta / AV Slowking), and Regenerator will allow you to use it many times throughout the match if know what you're doing. You can probably fit Trick somewhere in the set too, but the main premise is to pressure the enemy team as hard as you can through a combination of Future Sight and other offensive threats. Some examples of things you can remove with it:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Reuniclus Future Sight vs. 104 HP / 156 SpD Alomomola: 448-528 (90.1 - 106.2%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Reuniclus Future Sight vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Aromatisse: 346-408 (85.2 - 100.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Reuniclus Future Sight vs. 212 HP / 0 SpD Eviolite Doublade: 183-216 (58.6 - 69.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Reuniclus Future Sight vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Gligar: 294-346 (88.2 - 103.9%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

Reuniclus @ Leftovers / Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Thunder
- Psyshock
- Calm Mind
- Recover
Lol nothing too great but Thunder has the same accuracy as Focus Blast, has a 30% chance to paralize foes and has a coverage that is pretty much a middle ground between Shadow Ball and Focus Blast hitting the Dark-types in the tier (bar Shiftry) for the same damage, hitting Slowking super effectively, and doing the same to Meloetta (and hitting Spiritomb too i guess).
edit: im waiting for the trick flame orb

Reuniclus @ Flame Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpA / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
- Trick
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball / Focus Blast
- Recover
The combination of Trick and Flame Orb gives Reuniclus a pretty solid way to cripple its common checks and counters (Dark-types if it runs Shadow Ball, Doublade if it runs Focus Blast). most Dark-types, such as Drapion, Shiftry, Skuntank, Spiritomb, Sharpedo etc are physical attackers or at least have some sets that utilize physical moves, meaning that getting tricked a Flame Orb on the switch in is especially crippling to all of them, halving their beloved Attack stat permanently (not even clerical support can get rid of it because the Flame Orb just tacks it right back on) and doing quite a bit of chip damage over time too. Doublade suffers the same fate, but is even worse off because it loses its Eviolite in the process too. As an added bonus, the burn caused by Flame Orb makes Reuniclus an excellent sleep absorber and counter to Amoonguss, simply using it as an opportunity to fire off free Psychics with its tacked on immunity to sleep, and thanks to Magic Guard, Reuni takes absolutely no damage from the burn.

Well most of the legit sets have been done, may as well throw out something kind of ridiculous!
Reuniclus @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard / Overcoat
Level: 41
EVs: 252 Atk
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SpD / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Endeavor
- Explosion
- Magic Coat
Suicide TR level 41 Reuniclus. Okay this set looks retarded (it probably is!) but Reuniclus has access to both Trick Room and Endeavor, as well as Overcoat (stops spore, but if you don't need to do that magic guard is better and means this Reuniclus works well later in the game(magic guard is better, don't edit my sets molk)) and Explosion which under optimal conditions allows you to set TR and bring your opponent down to 1 HP. Explosion allows you to get a free switch after you TR if you are afraid your opponent is gonna be sneaky, while Magic Coat can potentially prevent taunt (and hazards!). The EVs / IVs are pretty simple min HP / defenses so you can have as little health as possible while Attack is maxed with a Brave nature to get some DOMMAGE with Explosion. This probably works really well with Mega Abomasnow because it lures in Registeel if your opponent doesn't see the level (level 41 btw because that is earliest legal Reuniclus). Yeah idk, the expected good sets were taken zzzz, needs more INNOVATION.
Molk please don't edit my set, I wanted magic guard because unlike solisis or duosion team preview doesn't give the gimmick away so it can be used at any point ;;;
