But Adrian, I'm pretty sure Fur Coat doesn't halve Psystrike's damage. It doesn't double defense, but rather halves the damage taken from physical attacks.

Facade ignores the attack drop as of Gen 6Flame Orb halves your attack on Mega-Aerodactyl. Why not use Toxic Orb?

Reshiram @ Draco Plate
Ability: Turboblaze
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Judgment
- Blue Flare / Magma Storm
- Shell Smash
- King's Shield
This set is reminiscent of the Zekrom I posted earlier in the thread, but I think I like this better. It beats the following things:
1) Shedinja
2) Flash Fire steels
3) Chansey (sometimes)
4) Kyurem-B (probably)
Draco Plate Judgment provides anti-Imposter-ness (it has a chance to OHKO) and a way of defeating the tier's countless dragons. Blue Flare is stronger than Magma Storm, but Magma Storm allows you to trap Imposters on the switch. (Magma Storm's partial trapping isn't needed for Shedinja since the thing is moldy anyway.) Shell Smash is a nice setup move that allows Reshiram to outspeed and KO all prominent threats, and King's Shield is so it doesn't get horrible destroyed by -ate priority.
I recommend running a wall for this thing on the team in case it can't get past Chansey.
Why not Chandelure?
I know it's overall weaker than Reshiram making hard to setup, but offensively speaking it is just a slightly weaker (145 base SpA vs 150) and to compensate that Chandelure can OHKO an Imposter Eviolite Chansey for sure (while Reshiram has "just a chance").
It doesn't take any damage from Judgment (Reshiram takes a good bunch of neutral damage coming from a Imposter without Plate, since Imposter is at +2 Normal Judgment and Reshiram is at -1 SpD) since it is a Ghost Spooky Plate.
Despite being less bulky than Reshiram, it resists Pixilate and Refrigerate making it better against most Revenge Killers (i checked this on the calculator). Chandelure can switch into Endeavor Sturdinja too, a feat Resh cannot do.
Also, Searing Shot could be used for those who are really affraid of missing attacks (like me lol), since it is the most powerful fire attack that has 100% accuracy (Fusion Flare has the same power, but Searing Shot has a burning chance).
Because chandelure is used for one thing and one thing only: Illusion. Otherwise it's completely outclassed by mega gengar.Why not Chandelure?

Also, Chandelure really can't take refridgerate/pixilate at all, especially after a shell smash.
Well, in this role that Reshiram are playing Chandelure outclass Resh and isn't outclassed by M-Gengar. And Chandelure can take Pixilate/Refrigerate better than Reshiram.
I just have to see about taking his own fire attack.

It doesn't take them 'better' per say. You can only really say that about Refrigerate, as neither resist. Pixilate //maybe// but Xerneas' Boomburst will hurt. I also didn't calc Xerneas w/ Life Orb and I'm too lazy to show those, but it's a lot better looking than those. Here's the Blue Flare calc:
+2 252 SpA Chansey Blue Flare vs. -1 252 HP / 252 SpD Chandelure: 291-343 (89.8 - 105.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
+2 252 SpA Chandelure Blue Flare vs. -1 252 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 195-229 (27.6 - 32.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
Reshiram would prevail here where Chandelure does not.
The whole point is you can't run blue flare on that set or you risk getting ko'd by imposter
You can't run searing shot either, as you get ko'd with any prior damage and/or rocks. The whole point is for the set to be totally imposterproof, not imposterproof in only the perfect conditions.Yes, i already said that and suggested using Searing Shot.

peef (Aegislash-Blade) @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Judgment
- Tail Glow
- Secret Sword
- Sludge Wave
Ok so this is.... a set......
I made this as a complete joke set, expecting nothing more than a joke sweep against bad players. It has little going for it besides the sheer amount of immunities it has, so I decided to make an imposter-proof sweeper set. A lot of what would hold this set back is AegiBlades awful speed tier, so I went with Speed Boost as an ability over something like Mold Breaker.
It's difficult to explain this set beyond this, you just have to watch for yourselves:
