First of all,
Yay, I'm in second place!
Okay, now that's that out of the way, the reason I'm so excited is because I didn't expect my stat total to fair well. I focused on the physical end, and the majority of the votes not going into Mixed sweeper went into Special sweeper. I also went for a very polarized spread, almost entirely neglecting the defenses.
The speed is put so that there is a consequence to running lower speed. I guess if it was really wanted, you could add one point to speed, just to have it outspeed Infernape without a Speed+ nature. I didn't think of that though and it actually seems more balanced w/o that. If I had done that, it could run Naughty nature and be able to secure 2HKO's on Skamory and Bronzong. I see that as being too powerful, because it leaves very few counters.
Also, Cooper forget what I didn't want placed on it. I'll copy that here if it is chosen.

Actually, you'll notice that my spread has lower stats in only HP and SAtk. I lowered the SAtk for balance reasons, I didn't want it to be able to 2HKO everything but only the most dedicated mixed walls. It averages a 2HKO on Skarmory with Blizzard and no SAtk EVs and does the same to Bronzong with Megahorn and Max Attack w/o nature.The last one is going to win just because it has the highest total. That is all the less pro people are going to see.
