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.
I did not see this posted.
If the pokemon uses knock off, but dies to iron barbs/rocky helmet, the the rocky helmet is not knocked off.
Here is the game in question: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-229352638
Turn 19 is the turn in question.
May I recommend giving heracross both pin missile and rock blast over megahorn and stone edge respectively? Mega heracross gets skill link, this paired with pin missile means it has similar power to mega horn with 100% accuracy. Using rock blast will give you 125 base power with 100% accuracy...
In your set up you mention jolly (+atk -spatk). Jolly boosts speed not attack. Adamant boosts attack. I think it's just a typo but I wanted to point it out so your analysis can be accurate :)
This provides SE coverage for only 10/17 types (grass, psychic, dark, fire, ground, rock, ice, bug, steel, dragon). I'm not sure about neutral coverage. I guess it all depends on what you want to hit for SE.
I was trying to avoid complete overcentralization. I see the benefit of running HP Fire, but then Sharpedo misses out on hitting other mons and then has to run the MixPedo set. I'm still tampering with it :)
Here are some theorymon ideas. I haven't actually played with these on the PO. Constructive criticism welcome.
Name: Mixed Hydra
Sazandora @ Choice Scarf / Life Orb / Expert Belt / Choice Specs
Nature: Mild (+Sp Atk, - Def), Hasty (+Speed, -Def), Naïve (+Speed, -Sp Def)
Ability: Levitate...
Some thoughts and a set I just made up:
Name: Speed Boost Anti-Lead or Revenge Killer
Sharpedo @ Liechi Berry / Life Orb
Nature: Adamant / Jolly
Ability: Speed Boost
12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Speed /
-Waterfall / Hydro Pump / Aqua Jet
-Crunch / Night Slash
-Earthquake / Ice Fang...
Hmmm, I don't think you need Synthesis on this set. Protect not only allows for recovery from seed and leftovers, but prevents the opponent from attacking at all. Synthesis recovery just seems redundant. Well Jarooda is a pretty common subseeder and he runs sets that look kinda like this...
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Life orb does not impact the attack stat, only the damage output.
Venusaur reaches:
658 Sp Atk with a beneficial nature and max Sp Atk EV's after one growth in the sun
-or-
578 Atk with a beneficial nature and max Atk EV's after one growth in the sun.
-or
568...
If you are worried about accuracy, you can always run a physical version
Tornelos @ Liechi Berry
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
-Acrobat
-Hammer Arm / Brick Break
-Sub
-Taunt
Acrobat deals 100% more damage when the user is not holding anything. While Hammer Arm / Brick Break is substantially less...
Here is my line of thinking based off of what you're saying:

I agree. The initial reason I brought up Acupressure was because of the Bidoof 6-0 battle log I read. The Bidoof ran Defense Curl in one of its moveslots. My thought was to place the same movepool onto Smeargle replacing Defense Curl with Acupressure.
Use Protect, pop the sub, use protect, (if...
True about the sand but, my main point was that Smeargle can abuse Inconsistent and use Acupressure. I would like to know how this set, or a set similar to it, holds up and how it compares to Inconsistent Bidoof. The addition of Acupressure can speed up the process of ridiculous stat boosts.
I...
What it seems to me is that Inconsistent violates the 4th gen evasion clause. However, Sand Veil Gliscor and Snow Cloak Froslass get a significant evasion boost due to their abilities as well, though in the appropriate weather. If the community is going to rally against Inconsistent due to...
