Ok so i've had this team for a while now, and i've done really well on my own standards for now, i've gotten to the mid 1,3k with this team, but i really want some really good players to rate it and help me perfect it as much as possible.
So the team spawned from the idea of using 3 Assault Vest Regenerators: Tornadus-T, Slowbro and Amoonguss, and i just built around that idea and this is what it is now:
Ever since i started playing in the beginning of 5th gen i've liked using Slowbro. It's typing copes well with it's defences and it's movepool is great to say the least, and i liked using it offensively. And with Assault Vest i can run the dully offensive but still really bulky Slowbro i always dreamt about.
Straightforward EVs; Max SpAtt investment to hit as hard as possible, 24Spd to outspeed the pokemon in the same speed tier(Amoonguss for example) and the rest in HP to give it even more bulk than what the AV gives it.
Evs and use of this Pokemon doesn't need explanation, really. Physically invested Poison-type to take pretty much all resisted physical hits and hit back with either a Spore or a powerful Foul Play which i honestly can't see why people don't use on Amoonguss more often. This Pokemon pairs really well with Slowbro, covering it's weakness to Grass and Electric perfectly and having it's own weaknesses in Psychic and Fire covered by the slow headed brother.
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature
- Air Slash
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- U-turn
The third Regenerator of the team, and certainly not the least worrysome of them. This pokemon does pretty much what i saw Genesect being used OU: revenge kill and just switch in and U-Turn.
This fearsome ban material takes out other Slowbro easily, or at least dent and cripple them with Knock Off and proceed to either finish 'em off with U-Turn or get momentum going if the opponent decides to save and switch out their Water/Psychic tank, that my own Slowbro and Amoonguss would have a tough time handling with out their bird friend.
At this point with Tornadus being the only fast thing this team has(at least for now), i figured i needed something to be the fast special hard hitter. This slot was filled by what quickly became my personal favourite Mega and revenge killer in UU. This thing is not only a beast, but also has some gimmick to it, which i always enjoyed in a Pokemon, in this case the gimmich is Lightningrod. Before Mega Evolving, i usually switch out my Slowbro and bring this thing in on a predicted Bolt Strike from Victini, or just any kind of predicted electric move and get that +1 SpAtt boost. And coming from a base 135 SpAtt monster that STAB T-Bolt is gonna hurt, and if something like a dragon or a ground poke decides to try to resist the hit just smack dat HP Ice to almost always take it out.
The tean has a major flaw that was pretty much 90% of the reason i post it here: Fairy. Florges walls the team to hell and back, and it's the biggest reason for me not getting to +1350 on ladder. I've thought about it and it seems like Metagross would be the perfect candidate to be slapped onto the team, but i have problems on deciding what should it replace. If you have time and all that shiz, i would appreciate any and all adds on the team i present, and if you can add Metagross there somewhere, even better :)

Impish Nature

Amoonguss was supposed to have an Assault Vest too, but since i figured it didn't fit it really well, i gave it black sludge and Spore, and this is what it became. Ability: Regenerator

Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Megahorn
Close to the end! Almost all teams have a choicer, and this team has it in Scarfed Moxiecross. Speedy, strong, and all around the perfect late game sweeper. And like Scarf Mamo in OU, despite it being really strong, this thing catches people off guard alot. While making this team Crawdaunt was still in the tier and this thing took it out no probems. And in late game after taking out some physical walls and other pokes that are a threat to this, the game ends usually in a sweep.Ability: Moxie

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 4 SDef / 252 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Toxic
- Protect
- Wish
- Heal Bell
The final piece in the puzzle, the thing to tie up most loose ends, i have Umbreon that seemed like a good candidate, but since the team has 2 AV users and the team consists mostly of Special defense, i decided to slap defensive EVs to it, and they work pretty well. People rarely attack umbreon from the special side, and even with minimal investment that Max Hp base 130 is gonna take hits really well. Ability: Synchronize
