Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 192 SpD / 68 Spe
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Toxic
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock

Heatran can switch in every time, take nothing from Leaf Storm and then 2HKOs back (OHKO with a high roll after LO recoil)

252 SpA Life Orb Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 248 HP / 192+ SpD Heatran: 35-40 (9 - 10.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 248 HP / 192+ SpD Heatran: 69-82 (17.9 - 21.2%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery
+4 252 SpA Life Orb Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 248 HP / 192+ SpD Heatran: 104-122 (27 - 31.6%) -- 31.5% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

wich sums up to 208-244 (54 - 63.2%) if heatran gets a low roll that allows Serperior to hit three times

0 SpA Heatran Lava Plume vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Serperior: 224-266 (76.9 - 91.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
 
Colossoil@ Assault Vest

252+ Atk Colossoil Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 652-772 (169.3 - 200.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

- Curse
- Horn Leech
- Giga Impact

128 Atk Honedge Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Necturna: 84-100 (25.3 - 30.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

Damage calc isn't needed for Nec as Sheer Cold is an OHKO move. Which will hit due to Honedge's ability. Using a more OU-viable set is a waste.

Sturdy OP... Necturna can't touch Skarmory while Skarmory laughs as it Roosts and destroys it with HP Flying... Why HP Flying? Cuz it get STAB. By the way, Sturdy ignores OHKO moves if you didn't know.

Chesnaught @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Drain Punch
- Leech Seed
- Spikes
- Spiky Shield

252+ Atk Soft Sand Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Chesnaught: 73-87 (19.2 - 22.8%) -- possible 6HKO after Leftovers recovery

Yeah, sure, Chesnaught's Drain Punch does even less back, but with its bulk and Spiky Shield, it doesn't really matter. Heck, if it alternates Spiky Shield and Drain Punch then, even if Drain Punch does min Damage every time and EQ does max damage every time it will still easily KO Lando before it is KOed itself. Of course it also has Leech Seed, and with that it can win while taking a net 0 damage, and also get up some spikes. But what fun is that?
 
Talonflame @ Apicot Berry
Ability: Gale Wings

252+ Atk Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Chesnaught: 396-468 (104.2 - 123.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Leech Seed + Spiky Shield will take a chunk out of Talonflame's health, but Adamant Brave Bird will overwhelm Chesnaught.
