The RS Aipom, with insane movepool and NO stats to use it. Basically Hypnosis something, Calm Mind up as fast as you can, then Baton Pass it along with a Salac boost if you're lucky. Thunderpunch Skarmory / Suicune if they come to phaze you, it won't do shit to Suicune but I guess it can hurt Skarmory quite a lot if it tries to do that again / was damaged before. Snatch works so you can get a Substitute or steal from something that tries to set up.
If you want something that can Trickband as well as use the Choice Band, Furret is still a better bet, as is Linoone. Or Kecleon. Or Volbeat. Or something that isn't Spinda. With 60 Attack you aren't going to do much, but your opponent probably won't bother switching against it so you can surprise something with a STAB Choice Band Double-Edge, as well as Tricking your Choice Band off to something that comes in to setup such as Skarmory.
Other Options
Seismic Toss allows you to focus on those crappy Defenses. Teeter Dance can get a few turns to setup, yet Hypnosis is still better. Counter is fairly useful, though, since it's like an instant KO if you can survive the hit.
EVs
Max Speed and a +Speed nature (Jolly or Timid depending on your offensive move) is preferred since it outspeeds Breloom and crew this way and can Substitute before Spore. Focus on HP and Defenses on the Baton Passing set, max Attack on the Choice Band set.
Opinion
It has amazing moves in Hypnosis, Trick, Encore, Calm Mind and Baton Pass but it can't use it all at the same time. Though it is really unpredictable, which is always handy. However, it has absolutely horrid stats to back up this movepool, thus relegating it to NU.
Counters
Just attack it directly, or predict and Substitute against its Hypnosis (It might have Snatch and out-predict you, though). Like Aipom, don't try to setup against it, this time you'll get your boosts Snatched off and Baton Passed.
