I've been highly successful with this set, just figured I'd share it with Smogon, see if it's as viable as I think it is.
Name: Leadette
Move 1: Trick
Move 2: Thunder Wave
Move 3: Shadow Sneak / Sucker Punch
Move 4: Destiny Bond
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Description: Banette is an amazingly unexpected trick lead. With 252 Spe EVs and a Scarf, he outspeeds every single speedster in the UU tier. Both of his Abilities are extremely useful for any lead; choose Frisk if you don't want to gamble on trading your scarf with another choice item; use Insomnia if you fear any Pokemoon who are silly enough to try and make you catch some Zzz's. Obviously, Trick on the first turn, and if your opponent is stuck using Stealth Rock or another non-attacking move, use Thunder Wave on the switch. From there, you can either switch out or, if you're confident that your opponent will 1HKO you, sneak in a Destiny Bond. The attack moves are circumstantial. Sucker Punch will do more damage and has greater coverage, however Shadow Sneak requires no prediction at all.
Even without defensive investment, Banette can take a pretty decent hit. Unboosted Aerial Ace from Scyther fails to OHKO it, as well as other attackers in that power range.
