Nominating:

Victini @ Flame Plate
Trait: Victory Star
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
IVs: 0 Spe
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spe)
-Trick Room
-V-create
-Brick Break
-Fusion Bolt

Trick Room Victini's a very potent sweeper with its 180 BP V-create, even outside of sun. Fusion Bolt and Brick Break give it coverage, naturally. What I like about using this as the starting point for our team is that it gives us some flexibility; we don't necessarily have to do a full Trick Room team, just one that uses TR Victini as a late-game sweeper and might happen to have other teammates such as Conkeldurr that benefit from TR, while being good on their own. By the same token, we don't necessarily have to go with sun, but it's definitely an option.
