Hi! Sorry, this is my first analysis so I don't know how to do these. I will copy/paste another analysis and change the words I guess.
[Overview]
[SET]
name: I guess Endeavor, but we could get a coolest name for such a cool Pokemon
move 1: Substitute
move 2: Endeavor
move 3: Heat Wave
move 3: Toxic
item: Fire Gem
ability: Scrappy
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
ivs: 3 HP
[SET COMMENTS]
This is a wonderful Stallbreaker, because it can't be stalled. It will everytime kill something in the battle. Also if you manage to get it against a specific target with 1 HP, your opponent can choose between losing the Pokemon and killing Swellow in the process, or switch and losing his switchin and you will keep Swellow for another Endeavor.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
[Checks and Counters]
There is no real counter since no Pokemon can come on Endeavor except Shedinja (which is killed by Heat Wave and Toxic). The best way to limitate the damages to the team is to get the rocks up, prevent ing it to be twice on the field with 1 HP. That way, you can choose which Pokemon losing on endeavor, sending a scarf user / Mewtwo / Deoxys / Priority User and killing the bird.
Another great way to deal with it is Sand Stream (or Snow Warning). Swellow won't be able to reach 1 HP. Be careful since Endeavor with 17 HP still hurts, but you can play around weather to reduce the impact on the battle.
Furai asked for replays so here is one when it is greatly used: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oriserver-ubers-41512
And here when it is poorly used, and it still kills my biggest threat: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oriserver-ubers-41515
[Overview]
- Really fast, tie with Darkrai.
- Really frail, almost everything not called Rapid Spin, Earthquake or Earth Power will OHKO it.
- Scrappy let it hit ghost, that is the main point.

- Substitute and SR removes 65 HP each, leaving Swellow to 1 HP after 4 Subs/SR
- Endeavor can kill anything
- Toxic if your opponent wants to spam Recover in order to avoid the KO
- Heat Wave + Fire Gem for the Genesect scarf switchin, it also let you beat Ferrothorn without taking Iron Barb

- Groudon or Kyogre must be the main support.
- Removing Stealth Rock can let you use Endeavor several times.
- If you play in rain, you may want to remove Heat Wave, but I still think it is his better option. Maybe Rain Dance itself to support the team, or TailWind.
- Not much actually, since it will be outclassed in any other set. The Heat Wave is not mandatory, it can use a support movepool if played in a Rain (Mainly Tailwind and Rain Dance itself, with a Salac Berry / a Damp Rock)
