Hey, this is an application for the Victory Road Forums. If you find something wrong with the application, I'll be happy to fix it.
Main Application: http://pastebin.com/dDwBMPT5
OU ladder rank: http://snag.gy/7Ux11.jpg
(Please don't mind the pokebank rating, that was just me screwing around on the ladder)
I realize we already did Mega Ampharos, but don't you think Fur Coat would be a better fit for it than Regenerator?
OU Theorymon suggestion:Meloetta starting with Pirouette Form
Meloetta had an interesting form change, however it's usually unused since relic song takes up a moveslot and a turn. If Meloetta started with Pirouette form, it would definitely see more use.
How about refrigerate/tough claws weavile? I saw someone talk about that in the weavile thread and figured I'd carry the idea on to you.

As a non OU player though, some of these sets look pretty neat; particularly the Rhyperior to beat charx. Props.
Theorymon suggestion: Unaware Cofagrigus
Unaware allows Confagrigus to switch into a variety of the most dangerous physical set up sweepers with ease, and can from there cripple them with will-o-wisp/semi-stall with pain split, or attempt to set up trick room and reverse the sweep.
I have another Theorymon idea that I think would be extremely powerful: Aerilate Archeops.
If that doesn't boost archeops to OU I don't what will, but I still don't think it's quite uber worthy. With an SR weakness and 75/65/65 defenses it would be easily revenge killed.
there's an empoleon thread but there isn't a uxie thread smfh, may i fix this?
Just some theorymon suggestions Tinted Lens Flygon, i think it fits in flavour wise, Oblivious Smeragle because it stops it being taunted, so it can get on what it wants to do and still have an item slot and quite like an artist oblivious to everything when its focused on the art. Leviate Magnezone it floats for god's sake sure it'll miss trapping but an immunity to a 4x weakness thats a win anyway you look at it.
A few more Theorymon suggestions:
Magic Guard Chandelure: loses SR Weakness, no longer afraid of hazards
Competitive Victini: becomes a Special version of Bisharp, has a wide Special movepool to take advantage of the boost
Fire/Fighting Darmanitan: Loses SR weakness, STAB Superpower
Lightningrod Rotom-S: not Levitate, gives it a useful immunity and potential SpAtk boost
Theorymon: Head Smash Rhydon. I think it would be interesting to see because of Rhydons abilities, and it would give some reason to use Rhydon above Rhyperior, since Rhyperior loses Rock Head.
I think I have another good one: Ice/Ground Avalugg with the ground typing Avalugg loses it stealth rock weakness and gets one of the best dual stab coverages: ice and ground. With its immense defense and reliable recovery and access to rapid spin would make a very viable OU pick.
Since Metagross won't miss Clear Body or Light Metal, why not give it... Tough Claws
Mgross has plenty of moves to abuse it with, like Bullet Punch, Hammer Arm, PowerUpPunch, Ice and Thunder Punch, Zen Headbutt and Meteor Mash. Suddenly you have a great STAB, pretty good coverage including Hammer Arm to hit Dark types. What do you think? Could work well with an Assault Vest
How about Multiscale Vaporeon? It would be excellent with it and would make sense since Vaporeon looks scaly.
I've been thinking of a strange one, yes, but I think it could work:
Fire/Dragon Arcanine. Types go well defensively and offensively, (only Heatran, Azumarill and Carbink/Diancie resist it.)
Being the only non-legendary fire type to not care about water is great. A dragon who doesn't fear ice or fairies is also great. Intimidate can soften the the other three commonly physical weaknesses.
Shadow Tag Gourgeist. Prankster Pachirisu would be an awesome relatively frail utility pivot. Hyper Cutter or Intimidate Archeops. Bad Dreams Hypno. Maybe Sand Stream Donphan.. Quick Feet Rampardos is not Uber cause' it can only hold Toxic Orb. Heatproof Forretress since he is outclassed now. Filter Cofagrigus. Sturdy Kabutops.
Theorymon ideas:
Dragon Rush Zygarde (Coil, Dragon Rush, Possibly Glare), Poison Heal Snorlax (Offensive Blissey), Slack Off Walrein (Strong Bulky Wall breaker), Defiant Dusknoir (Blocks Rapid spin, counters Defog), Drizzle Pelipper (STAB Hurricanes/Hydro pump, roost, tailwind/stockpile).
Thoughts?
I have some Theorymon suggestions:
-Brave Bird Aerodactyl: BB MegaDactyl would be like Staraptor, except with more attack, speed, movepool options and more power added by the abillity, MegaDactyl really needs BB as it's best flying move is Fly.
-Heatproof Forretress: Forretress is really outclassed this genaration, but Heatproof could give him some use, it'd be only 2XWeak to fire, and burns would be halved
How about Guard Split Avalugg? The Rhyhorn and Shieldon lines can use Guard Split, and they are all in the Monster egg group. This would disrupt the momentum of special walls and AV tanks, making it in a sense a stallbreaking pivot.
Hey! Is the BW revamp thread up to date? The one with 89 in the title.
I think I got one this time; Solid Rock Regirock.
Due to him having one of the best defensive spreads of Rock types (with no crippling x4 weakness) and him literally just being a walking boulder, I believe the ability fits. It allows him to tank even easier, then abusing his albeit decent recovery move, and thus giving him a bit of leeway in investing in attack and not so much in defenses. This sound alright to ya?
Hey Alex, I was wondering if you saw this post I made a few weeks ago ( http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/creative-underrated-sets-thread-read-the-thread-no-shitty-gimmicks.3489313/page-29#post-5240544 ). You're probably aware that this set is becoming popular lately and it probably deserves to be added to the analysis (or just edit your SpD set & bump it up in the set order)! Let me know your thoughts.
I have a few quick theorymon ideas that you could consider:
Water/Fairy Milotic
Adaptability Hawlucha
Electrify Raichu
I would understand why the former two couldn't be slated, as Milotic's is just another Fairy retyping and Hawlucha's could be considered a "mindless offensive buff". However, I think Electrify Raichu has potential because of its high Speed and Lightningrod.
I have a pretty interesting concept regarding Gourgeist; that is, I first need to know if alternate stat spreads are allowed, since that's the major theme of the concept. If said changes are allowed, I'll gladly inform you of my Theorymon concept. -
