This is such a cool concept!
I've never really thought about it but there are a surprising abundance of mons who suffer from "1 ability sydrome". I don't really have loads to say threats-wise that hasn't already been said, but I do have a suggestion.
I think a VR or even just a simple threat list could really benefit this thread. Like as I was scrolling through 10 pages of discussion it was getting hard to keep track of everyones ideas/all the unorthodox mons I wanted to try out. I understand if that's a little unreasonable/too early atm, but everyone seems pretty active and willing to contribute.
Will post more later regarding threats if I think of any new ones! :P
Edit: So Crustle's looking pretty good as a hazards setter/suicide lead. Was thinking of running Rock Polish (over Spikes because I thought SR was enough) but is that redundant with the Weak Armour boost?

As much as I'd love this to be playable on the main server, I doubt that will happen for a very long time. (If ever!) We'd need activity at least on par with juggernauts like M&M, AAA and BH and we aren't even close to that unfortunately.
However, if word gets out about the meta, it could be nominated for OM of the Month (or OMotM for short) and voted in by the wider OM community. Then it would have it's own ladder on PS! for a whole month, but that's the most anyone can hope for, at least for the time being. :(
Sawk doesn't learn Stealth Rock...
Oops, my bad lol
Friendly bump for winning OM of the Month. Still running this MacChaeger? Or Spandan?
Spandan’s even less active than I am, so you’re stuck with me.
porygon2 is broken

Is trace suppose to work every turn like that?
Pretty sure it's not, that seems like a glitch to me.
Speaking of glitches, Greninja can get Battle Bond and Protean:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebilities-856914786
This might only be possible if you select normal greninja in the teambuilder and choose Battle Bond as an ability.
i think there is a bug with unburden
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebilities-856922762
hawlucha should outspeed life orb ambipom with an unburden boost (252 spe, adament)
it should also outspeed kommo-o with a +1

As far as I know, only the one selected on tge teambuilder gets deactivated
At the request of The Immortal Gothita, Gothorita, Gothitelle, Wynaut, Wobuffet, Diglett, Dugtrio, and Trapinch are now banned. Also, Zygarde-10%, Greninja, and Rockruff should not be able to have Power Construct, Battle Bond, and Own Tempo with any other ability, as in-game those abilities are actually held by distinct formes.
By that logic all Pokemon with Moody should be banned as well. Smeargle, Remoraid, Octillery, Bidoof, Bibarel, Snorunt, and Glalie
I believe Moody is banned by a clause, and since it is active here as this is an OU based meta, it should be too
Anyways, sorry for my misunderstaning on the trapping abilities yall, thanks for clearing it up
Greninja can still have battle bond + the 2 other abilities as we can see on this replay http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebilities-857192595
Yeah, I forgot Moody because it’s banned through a clause for no good reason. Adding these now.

Maybe it hasn't been implemented yet, but I thought I should share this replay of my opponent using Moody Bibarel even after it was banned. Luckily I stopped it before it got crazy, but this ability really should be taken care of as soon as possible.
