Also, everyone seems to have forgotten about Scarf Ditto, who is usable now that Impostor is released. Though honestly, the Calm Minders of Ubers will probably derp on it.

Finally, Rock Arceus either with Calm Mind/Refresh (or a coverage move), or a support set with Perish Song/Will-O-Wisp, is poised to become the premier antimetagame Pokemon. It outspeeds and OHKOes Kyurem formes, Ho-oh, can set up on Lugia, etc. In the Sand it becomes a godly Special Tank, nearly on Blissey's level. Except it's fast, and can actually hit hard.

I know you have to invest in something like Hippowdon (or Tyranitar on a more offensive team, though Ttar has some redundancy issues IMO) to support it, but this thing is incredible. And unlike Houou, it doesn't get herped if Stealth Rock comes up.
