Mega Banette + Fighting Typing + Drain Punch Honorable Mention: Dragon Dance Krookodile Also, I assume we don't have to vote for an honorable mention if we don't want, correct? Just curious.

This is a really cool slate. It's arguably what each of these mons need to really stand out in OU. Almost everything that can be said about Recover Bronzong has pretty much already been said, but it's really good and it really needed this. Competitive Thundurus-T is a cool option. I've seen...

Forretress + Water Absorb

A lot of this meta is mind games by bluffing sets of other mons, but at some point you could pull a reverse bluff by just using the standard set. For example: Krookodile could pack DD + EQ (i think he gets DD, otherwise I'm an idiot. But you get the idea) with intimidate pretending to be...

Mega Aggron + Dragon Typing

Roost Mantine

The funny thing about Mantine being a good Keldeo counter is that Keldeo can run HP Electric, doing 67-79% with Specs, and 59-70% with a LO. But it doesn't take a genius to realize that. Anyway, I'm probably in the same boat as most people being torn between Mantine and Krookodile. I like them...

Posting here because I want to see this thing succeed. And also, some replays! I don't care how garbage they are, I'm sure most of us would like to see some. :)

Umbreon + Unaware

Unaware Umbreon I really like Umbreon. It's a cool 'mon with good bulk and good movepool. Its biggest problem is that it was too passive and therefore setup bait, but now with Unaware it's certainly an improvement. It doesn't learn Calm Mind (which I was really surprised to learn), meaning it...

This is a pretty tough slate. Electrify Zebstrika is my number four, but the other three are all solid suggestions. Spikes Pidgeot, Sand Rush Cacturne, Moxie Weavile... I'll make a vote for the new classic and say Spikes Pidgeot.

Absol + Dark/Fairy typing just barely edging out king's shield slowking IMO. I like Absol a lot is why.

Page of Hood

This set makes me realize that Sleep Talk classifies as a "defensive" move, so using it could possibly be a way around the five-turn "truce". I don't think it's too OP considering you're at least a third likely to do nothing of use, but it's certainly an idea.
