Ladder Anything Goes

Hey guys, I've been using an interesting set for Xerneas lately, not sure how original/new it is, but here it is:

Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
EVs: 32 HP / 168 Def / 252 SpA / 56 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Geomancy
- Block
- Rest

The idea behind this set is to come in on a Pokemon that lacks phasing and physical power. By using Block, Xerneas can easily get to +6 with Geomancy, which allows it to proceed to sweep easily. The EVs mean that it can live 5 seismic tosses, which greatly helps with Blissey match-ups, seeing as a +6 Moonblast still only does about 70%.

So, opinions?
 
Block is kinda the same thing in ubers, if you're lucky enough to catch something or face stall then it's alright but with offense being so good in comparison I don't know how effective it's gonna be overall

Anyway, this thread has been kinda dead but here's something interesting. I've been screwing around with MMX recently since I brought it up as something to use with Zangooser on a whim. While it's certainly not the best mon I've ever used, somehow the main complaint I've heard was something about "no reason to use it". I've been having a lot of fun with just how unique of a mon it is, there really is nothing that works like it. A strong fighting type that mildly checks Ekiller can't be bad, and since you're not complete ray fodder like Fightceus it gives Mewtwo a solid place on some specific offensive teams. It's one of those high ranked but never touched mons I totally recommend people give a shot. I didn't save many replays because I hadn't been planning a post, but here are the two from a roomtour that just happened which prompted me to talk about it. They don't give an amazing snapshot, but it does something so yeah.
