Lookit this offensive juggernaut

Archeops @ Sky Plate
Ability: Defeatist
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spd or 80 Atk / 252 SpA / 176 Spd
Hasty or Naive Nature
-Judgment
-Head Smash
-Earthquake
-Energy Ball

Nearly unparalleled SE coverage right there.

Guys Eelektross gets Quiver Dance and Roost.

Eelektross @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
-Quiver Dance
-Thunderbolt
-Bug Buzz
-Roost

Drifblim gets Shadow Claw, so it doesn't need to go mixed or power herb to get dual STAB.

Also, Earthquake makes its triumphant return to Sawsbuck's movepool, and brings Close Combat and Stone Edge with it.
 
Guys, there's a set database in the OP.

Also, if you didn't know before, all movepool illegalities are fixed, as long as the illegality stems from Gen 3 or later. This doesn't mean that much, but it does fix a few illegalities, like Weather Ball + Chlorophyll Venusaur, Volt Tackle + Extreme Speed + Lightning Rod Raichu, and Knock Off + Play Rough Absol.

By fixed, do you mean that those combos are now legal or illegal?

Guys, Ranger Mike has nominated Mergemons for OM of the Month! Get out there and vote (whenever the voting gets up, that is)! WE WANT TO WIN! WE WANT TO WIN!

THIS IS THE TIME! Mergemons needs to win this time around! :)
I'd also like to bring up the overlooked Protean user, Kecleon. Getting stuff from Kangaskhan and Keldeo is pretty awesome, giving it a lot of the moves it needs from last gen with Protean + some nice new stuff. It now gets STAB Earthquake, Stone Edge, Circle Throw, Drain Punch, Aqua Tail, the elemental punches, Sacred Sword (it likes Drain Punch more, but it's worth a mention), Aqua Jet, Close Combat, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, and Poison Jab. Here is a set that might be interesting:
Kecleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Power-Up Punch
- Shadow Sneak
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
Or it might be able to viably run Assault Vest:
Kecleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant/Careful Nature
- Power-Up Punch
- Shadow Sneak
- Earthquake
- Drain Punch
Please don't kill me on the EVs/Nature. I'm doing this off the top of my head aside from the movesets which I'm using Serebii's Pokedex fro.
 
does darmanitan-zen have access to sheer force, or is it restricted to zen mode (since it can only normally be acquired in zen mode)? i would think the latter, but it's programmed into showdown with sheer force, so.
 
Oh wow. Leech Seed Suicune.

This is some serious stall:

stall shit (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Leech Seed
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Synthesis

Only problem is you'll run out of Synthesis' eventually, but regardless this is a very good set.

Also, U-Turn Pinsir & Knock Off Gyarados-Mega.

There's a lot of cool teams you can make, I really like this meta. Kinda sucks it didn't win OMotm, but maybe next month?

Dude, chill. Swellow and Sylveon were almost paired up. Swellow gets BOOMBURST as an egg move. Add a Calm Mind boost to the equation and...
+1 252+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Boomburst vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 360-425 (51.1 - 60.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Cinccino
Notable new moves: Thunder Wave, Zen Headbutt, Swords Dance, Crabhammer, Aqua Jet, Rock Slide, Waterfall

Judging by the set on the pastebin, you people do not have proper comprehension of how amazing King's Rock is on Skill Link pokemon.

King's Rock (Cinccino) @ King's Rock
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Tail Slap
- Bullet Seed
- Rock Blast
- Swords Dance

This set has the obvious problems of being walled by steel types, but it also has 3 moves with 125 BP and a 41% chance to flinch. Are Rock Blast and Bullet Seed better than Knock Off and Crabhammer? Maybe, maybe not. Is a 41% flinch chance amazing? Yes. Yes it is.

Machamp
Notable new moves: Wild Charge, Volt Switch, Thunder Wave, Thunder, Shell Smash, Will-O-Wisp, Curse, Memento, Stealth Rock, INFERNO,

What, you don't think No Guard Inferno deserves a mention? What the hell is this!?

Special Shell Smash (Machamp) Life Orb/White Herb
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Nature: Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shell Smash
- Focus Blast
- Inferno
- Thunder

+2 Modest Life Orb Machamp has a higher special attack than Modest Choice Specs Chandelure, and is using moves with (generally) higher base power. Not to mention the extra passive damage from Inferno's burn. Going with White Herb lets you be more defensive

Wailord
Notable new moves: Fiery Dance, Hurricane, Quiver Dance (LOL), Bug Buzz, Roost, Will-O-Wisp, U-turn, Giga Drain

Lord of the Dance (Wailord) @ Leftovers/Chesto Berry
Ability: Water Veil/Oblivious/Pressure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Water Spout
- Roost/Rest

I have no idea if this set is actually usable, considering it's walled by water types, but the mental imagery the moveset provides is simply awe inspiring.

Dat Wailord moveset. Bwarhahahahaaha
U-Turn and Bug Buzz are also really awkward to imagine on a Wailord.

Also, I find it funny many crapmons became useful through lending their movesets.

Castform lending BoltBeam to Celebi, Machamp getting the weird stuff from Luxray and Magcargo of all things, and tuff like that.

Snorlax has Wish and Stealth Rock, so it can recover itself and be a bulky special wall.

Also, Shell Smash Magmortar looks like a huge threat too. Thank Magcargo again!


Unown is still worthless, however.
