Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Some things that stand out to me:
Dialga with Rest and Shed Skin is pretty fearsome. It's very possible to set up a bulky sweep with just a few Bulk Ups.
Florges with Thick Fat increases its general bulk. Nice to see Florges with an actual ability for once.
Gigalith is very good as either...
Static and Gooey seem the most appropriate abilities, for both concept and flavor. Gooey is arguable more powerful than Static, being more reliable, but for the sake of the concept, Static is much more apropos considering the higher permanence; but Gooey is still better than things like filter...
It's ludicrous that substitute would be disallowed. If all Pokemon can get it, then it should be a required move. And having 101 subs does not change that fact that CAP cannot be the blobs short of PP stalling. Allow Substitute.
A few calculations dealing with Scald.
252+ SpA Analytic CAP Scald vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Mega Charizard Y in Sun: 168-200 (56.5 - 67.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA CAP Scald vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran: 204-242 (52.8 - 62.6%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ SpA CAP Scald...
Magic Bounce Musharna
Snow Warning Kyuruem might be a novel idea, leading to some play of hail, but Kyuruem does not need anything additional to increase its viability within its tier. Musharna certainly could.

It seems to me that alexwolf's set best demonstrates the concept of a bulky pivot that heavily damages the expected switch-in.
