I really want to build a VoltTurn team around a fast, bulky support/lead with Parting Shot and some hazards. Force switches everywhere, wear things down with U-turn/Volt Switch/SR/Spikes damage.

I'm glad to see that Game Freak decided to give a buff to such an incredibly underpowered Pokémon. Should help it compete a little better!

You don't even need to dupe items to break the game.

Get Mew down to level 1 (Growl the Slowpoke or whatever you're using to set the species six times), level underflow to 100, hand it some TMs.

Send Spoink to Low.

I got the best situation possible with mine - caught it as a Grumpig. Its movepool is decent, but its typing is abysmal; pure Psychic does nothing lategame. Particularly given...

Whether or not Shadow Tag Chandelure would check Genesect is irrelevant. It's not even banned - it doesn't exist yet. We couldn't start using it even if it'd singlehandedly create a metagame where...

I'd dispute Buneary - that line has great Speed and a fantastic movepool. Furthermore, Buneary's Attack isn't bad at all when you catch it. I haven't played with them, but I'd theory-vote them for...

Toxic stalling and Wish passing ingame are unnecessary. Wastes of time; you should just be smacking things around.

I think you're saying you want to RNG the ingame Kyurem-W. Don't bother - you can't catch it. You catch Kyurem in the postgame.

I'm going to point out that you can resell Hard Stones to the ore collector for $500; this means that you can turn a profit on average, even if every single package contains a Hard Stone.

I'm not sure I'd call Genesect broken, but realistically it is the biggest suspect in the metagame right now, and I'd be just fine seeing a test. It's the best Pokémon in OU, hands down; how well you...

Can I just say that the notion of an inherent "uber-ness" a lot of people are advocating mystifies me?

Scizor can get away with investing in its HP; Genesect can't. Has to invest in Speed; doesn't have strong priority. And it's pretty much forced to lose 10% from one defense or the other.
