Welcome to ADV 200! But what, you may ask, is ADV 200? Our polling history suggests your guess is as good as ours. Put simply, 200 strips ADV back to launch-day Ruby and Sapphire: only Pokémon, items, and movepools obtainable on those cartridges are legal. Naturally, many of the Pokémon and movesets that define standard OU are absent. To make matters stranger, the Roaming Pokemon IV Glitch restricts Latias and Latios to, let's say, suboptimal IVs.

Explanations (courtesy of miraaa)
CB Salamence can be divebombed into the opponent for damage here, allowing Regice to click Rain Dance and start generating value for midgame Gorebyss. Itemless Thief Manectric acts as a way to create progress in the face of Regice and Registeel to make Gorebyss' life easier into Protect Regice especially. Thieving leftovers is especially important without the Spikes that usually mitigate them on grounded mons. Metagross does well to trade up for an effective Gyarados endgame.
Adamant Salamence is necessary on Spikeless to make up for the lost ranges you get without Spikes chip. Speedcreep on bulky Protect Metagross is to outpeed uninvested/4EVs speed on Claydol. Speedcreep on Regice is for opposing base 50s and -speed nature Swampert and Weezing. This Manectric spread creeps Modest Starmie.

Speedcreep on Regice is for opposing base 50s and -speed nature Swampert and Weezing. This Manectric spread creeps Modest Starmie.
With Magneton to eliminate Skarmory, the combination of Swellow and Mixed Salamence on Spikes should be enough to win a game. Additionally, bulky Golduck + Magneton is a game winner in itself. If you can bait Toxic into an unrevealed Swellow with Regice or Golduck, then its Facade will OHKO nearly everything in the tier, especially with a Spikes layer. Even without it though, its spammable 153BP Return 2KHOs most grounded threats.
To enable this offense even more, Salamence acts as an early game Fighting-type switchin that can reliably threaten the likes of Regirock and prevent Gyarados from sweeping with its choice of coverage here. Zap Cannon Regice makes it better into the Regice Mirror, while also giving it something significant to do into Metagross or Registeel switchins.
Speedcreep on Regice is for opposing base 50s and -speed nature Swampert and Weezing. Skarmory outpaces max speed neutral nature Camerupt and creeps opposing Skarmory for the Roar mirrors. This Golduck spread ensures it can 1v1 Modest Starmie after a couple CMs with Rest, while outpacing the 209 speedtier that most Agility/RD sweepers get to.

This Golduck spread ensures it can 1v1 Modest Starmie after a couple CMs with Rest, while outpacing the 209 speedtier that most Agility/RD sweepers get to.
CM Alakazam lead and an unconventional Salamence gives this team a way to quickly break down DD Kingdra's biggest threats. Skarmory and Explosion users like the Regis and Claydol need to be eliminated for Kingdra to become a wincon. Likewise, Modest Starmie thrives in situations where the opponent's team is beaten down. Fast Hypnosis + Memento Garde can deny the opponent enough turns on their mons so that repeated assaults from Starmie and DD Kingdra become untenable. Explosion Registeel acts as a stopgap against many of the teams that can quickly overwhelm with a smart double or revenge kill switchin.
The lead Alakazam could very well run Modest + Charcoal to OHKO Metagross and chip down Skarmory even more, but the utility of Lum + Synchronize help it to come in later to threaten a sweep of its own, while also being unthreatened by bulky Salamence or Milotic leads. Likewise, Kingdra could realistically be a bulkier variant (e.g., 252 HP/156 Def/100 SpDef, Careful Nature) to be a sturdier individual wincon, but the offensive investment allows it to be played much more flexibly throughout a game alongside the 2 other setup threats, while also helping it to break for Starmie.
The speed EVs allow Kingdra outspeed Modest Starmie after 1 DD. Salamence, at base, outspeeds 252+ base 80 speed mons. Its Naughty nature also allows it to dent Skarmory even more. Gardevoir creeps those trying to creep max speed neutral nature base 85 speed mons. Registeel's attack allows it to 2KHO Leftovers Alakazam with EQ, while also giving its Explosion and Focus Punch some much needed firepower.

Gorebyss Lead with additional Electrode support can bluster through defensive checks like nothing else. Gyarados, Electrode, and Refresh Golduck pressure Milotic and force switchouts. Without these mons, then Milotic hard walls this team entirely. Gyarados and Kingdra pressure like nothing else in the endgame, with most teams unable to take them out swiftly, and their damage output being hard to manage even only after one turn of setup.
Golduck shares the OffCune speed tier, and for the same reasons as OffCune in OU. Electrode more or less has to run a +Speed nature for +1 speed Adamant Gyarados, Jolly Swellow, and Swift Swim Gorebyss. Kingdra and Regice both have a little extra speedcreep so that they can win out in the mirror, though this is a tad unecessary.

Kingdra and Regice both have a little extra speedcreep so that they can win out in the mirror, though this is a tad unecessary.
The big idea is that CB Salamence is very scary with Spikes support and the elimination of opposing Skarmory, and is more or less able to break anything in the tier. With careful Skarmory play, this team is defensively sturdy into opposing DD Gyarados. Furthermore, endgame Milotic and Curse Registeel more or less defensively check everything in the tier while forcing good progress.
With 3 Steel-types, Refresh Milotic is a little unecessary, hence why it's Toxic 2A instead. This Magneton set allows it to beat opposing trapper Magneton, while typically outspeeding Adamant Gyarados trying to set up on it greedily.
Jolly Salamence is ran over Adamant, since the extra damage is unecessary with Spikes support and the pressure the rest of the team poses. Skarmory outpaces max speed neutral nature Camerupt and creeps opposing Skarmory for the Roar mirrors. Registeel's little attack investment ensures its EQ can OHKO Magneon without a Curse boost. Milotic has enough speed to creep max speed neutral nature Gorebyss, though it can absolutely sacrifice a few more defense EVs to creep faster Metagross.

Milotic has enough speed to creep max speed neutral nature Gorebyss, though it can absolutely sacrifice a few more defense EVs to creep faster Metagross.
With Taunt Skarmory, Regice, and Dusclops, setting up against this team is a challenge. Dusclops spinblocks for Skarmory, allowing Spikes to remain up for the rest of the team to abuse. Mixed Metagross baits in Skarmory and Water-types that otherwise resist Mash, forcing chip against them. In the endgame, DD Gyarados functions as a strong Spikes-immune wincon into the bulky structures that otherwise outlasts ToxTect Regice. The bulk of these mons typically allows them to trade up against opposing setup sweepers that do get the chance to do their thing.
Speedcreep on Regice is for opposing base 50s and -speed nature Swampert and Weezing. Dusclops attack EVs are to OHKO Alakazam, with the speedcreep being for opposing Dusclops.
