From the "Other Metagames Rules and Regulations - XY Edition" thread:
I don't see how those things have anything to do with Raikou, it's been UU for a while and there's nothing to suggest it won't be UU again in XY. It had OU sets last gen, too, but that doesn't mean it's not generally outclassed and underpowered for OU (otherwise it would be BL).
If you don't mind, what can I outspeed with and without max Speed EV investment?
If Genesect was the love of your life, you probably were not very happy in the first place.
Sorry, just to clarify: Beneficial Nature or Neutral Nature (e.g. Timid or Modest)?
you could just go to the thread and see that Lucarionite and Genesect got the boot, while Deoxys Speed remains in OU, there's the results for you.
You can try 248 HP / 64 Def / 192 SDef with a Calm nature. This will allow you to avoid the 2HKO from M-Pinsir's unboosted return after Stealth Rock damage, or a +2 Return after Stealth Rock and one round of Leftovers recovery. You will also survive two unboosted Shadow Ball from Aegislash after Stealth Rock. Theoretically could you be 2HKO'd with SR by the CRUMBLER set, but keep in mind, you're always faster, and if you Roost the damage you'll avoid the 2HKO.
Lots of them. Aegislash, Scizor, SDef-Heatran, and the blobs are the most prominent ones. You can also use any faster physical attacker, that can stomach a Hyper Voice, or (better yet) a bulky one with priority. Keep in mind, though, that M-Gardevoir can learn Will-o'-Wisp and might take advantage of that against your physical checks.
aegislash. resists both stabs and can hit back hard with shadow ball and shadow sneak. scizor is another good one, also resisting both stabs and nailing it with bullet punch.
No, Speed Boost Blazikens always run protect, which means they'll take no damage turn 1 and outspeed (even Adamant vs. Timid) and OHKO Greninja turn 2 with HJK.
i nee him to trick room not for himself but for mawile
Um... Gene was sent to Ubers, you'd know that if you read the Suspect Test thread or the Banlist. I answered a question similiar to this earlier saying that Lucarionite and Gensect got the boot last page.
Pure TR support isn't the most appealing use of a moveslot in Singles, mostly because of the 5-turn limit and you having to switch in order to take advantage of it. In Singles it is often advised to run an offensive tank in order to capitalize of TR right away instead of loosing momentum to the opponent. Reuniclus has a rather meh defensive typing and won't stay long enough if you keep switching it in and out, even with Magic Guard.
Reading Comprehension...
You could go read the 58 pages long thread and read why people were arguing against the ban of genesect.
