SM OU Next Best Thing Season 2, Week 27: Thundrus-Therian

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
- Seismic Toss
- Cosmic Power
- Encore
- Soft-Boiled

The real magic of this set comes from not Cosmic Power, but rather the unexpected combination of Seismic Toss and Encore. The first move allows Clefable to chip very easily his common counters such as Excadrill and Toxapex. Moreover, Encore compliments nicely Seismic Toss as it give a way to Clefable to punish healing and set-up attempts, creating even more turns to snowball with Cosmic Power.
S/O Proftreez for being the one behind this demonic set.

Support:
Salamence @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Careful/Impish Nature
- Flamethrower
- Earthquake / Aqua Tail
- Refresh
- Roost

This set allows Salamence to check many threats such as Serperior, Kartana and Heatran. Refresh is especially great to avoid any issue from Glare and Toxic. It is possible to fit other utility moves over Refresh such as Defog, Roar and Wish.
 
Mixed Salamence (mosty special) :
Salamence @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 64 HP / 192 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Roost
You can damage lots of common pokemons while using your typing and intimidate to switch on mons like serperior, landorus t, charizard y, heatran, victini and more. Because salamence takes 25% on the rocks you'll need some hazard control (defog fini, rotom or scizor is cool).
