Absol @ Absolite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly/Naive Nature
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch
- Fire Blast//Ice Beam/Psycho Cut
- Swords Dance
Dark/Fairy gives perfect coverage outside of steel/fairy, which is covered by Fire Blast. Play Rough is the main move you use, and Sucker Punch is for priority, allowing you to beat things like adamant Talonflame and scarf users. Fire Blast is used to beat bulky steels, Ice Beam helps beat bulky grounds, and Psycho Cut beats poisons. Magic bounce means you can't be paralyzed by Thundurus and there is less risk when using Sucker Punch. Superpower could be an option but I haven't really thought about what it could hit.
mewtwo.
The only NON-UBER Pokemon with access to the ThunderCane combo. (And Mewtwo was from a Japanese event. WE NEVER GOT THAT EVENT!)

I mean the only non-Uber Pokemon with access to ThunderCane that can ACTUALLY MAKE USE OF IT.

Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Thunder Wave / Charge Beam
- Moonlight
- Hidden Power [Fire] / Ice Beam / Light Screen
Fairy / Electric w/Levitate is so good. Resists Fight / Flying and Ground / Flying, 2 very good offensive moves. T Wave is useful for paralyzing shit, but Charge Beam can be used for electric STAB (it is its only electric STAB). Moonlight is recovery. Last slot is more coverage or light screen.

Oh wait :(
I asked piccolo and he said maybe so idk
/sob
Forest's curse will probably add a typing like it always does. Example, Fire/Fighting Noivern will be Fire/fighting/Grass Noivern
Soak will also probably does what it always does; Fire/Fighting Noivern turns to Water Noivern
Protean most likely works as usual, so water/grass greninja still changes to grass type after using grass knot.
As for sketch...what do you mean?
Well, Sketch/Mimic will add Normal type before they are used. However, after they are, they pretty much become another move for every purpose. Mimic's effect expires on switch-out, though. Therefore, I implemented Sketch as a permanent type change, while Mimic is a temporal one.
Standard ways to change types are working for me.
This will be available in Pandora upon next server restart, since I had to do a major modification to PS battle engine.
UPDATE: Now playable!

So, no one is gonna talk about Goodra?
Goodra @ Leftovers
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 136 HP / 240 Attack / 96 Defense / 36 Sp. Defense
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Aqua Tail
- Acid Armor/Sleep Talk
- Rest
Meet the real Mega-Swampert!
No weaknesses except from Freeze Dry. Switch him in on a grass move and you'll be causing some pain with nearly 500 Attack and unbelievable bulk. You don't really need Acid Armor but it helps it take a hit from nearly anything even better than it already could. Rest/Talk after getting a boost from Sap Sipper could make this a very slow but powerful sweeper.
Where is your god now?
Or what about Zygarde?
Zygarde @ Leftovers
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Coil
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Extreme Speed
One weakness. STAB Crunch coming from this after a Coil or two is going to hurt. After one use of Coil, Stone Edge becomes reliably accurate. With an attack stat hitting 340+ after one use of Coil and the high crit chance of Stone Edge there's a good chance it's going to take a huge chunk out of whatever it hits. Extreme Speed is useful to have for dealing with those annoying Sash users, so long as they aren't Ghost type (Though most of the pokemon that take advantage of becoming Ghost type the most don't have many good reasons to be Sashed and will die to Crunch anyway).

Can confirm, I had a test battle and it is working.
Fully evolved Pokemon that learn Play Rough + Earthquake: Donphan, Granbull, Smeargle, Ursaring
Fully evolved Pokemon that learn Moonblast + Earth Power: Lunatone, Smeargle
Fully evolved Pokemon that learn Dazzling Gleam + Earth Power: Celebi, Claydol, Mew, Probopass, Shaymin, Smeargle
Offensive CM Mew or Celebi could be cool with that type combo, but I don't really think anything else can make good use of the combo that hasn't already been mentioned.
