I find that a great set in UU is Dark Gem Moxiekrow

Honchkrow @ Dark Gem
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute/Superpower
- Sucker Punch
- Brave Bird
- Roost / Heat Wave / Pursuit / Tailwind

The beauty of this set is that it completely destroys almost every ghost in the game, due to the boosted dark gem, which almost always guarantees you that initial moxie boost. It also works well against other pokemon, dealing some pretty decent damage. Tailwind is also viable, because you can switch in on a pokemon that is sure to switch out, set it up and outspeed many fast threats such as Scarf Heracross etc
