Rotom-Wash @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Rotom wash is extremely powerful when equipped with choice specs, hitting everything hard, except gastrodon, with hydro pump, thunderbolt and HP ice. Hydro pump hits everything that doesn't resist it hard even with the power drop, thunderbolt is used over thunder because it has better accuracy. HP ice hits dragons which resist Rotom's STABs hard. Volt Switch is there to switch out to gliscor/greninja.

Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Sacred Sword
- King's Shield

Aegislash is one of the most powerful physical attackers in the game. It's very bulky even with that terrible HP. It is a great mega kangaskhan counter as long as it doesn't have earthquake or crunch. Aegislash is extremely weak to status, however. Swords dance is to set up a sweep after forcing a switch. King's shield is needed to prevent aegislash from being totally destroyed after attacking. Shadow sneak is used over shadow claw because it allows aegislash to hit things that are faster than it first, and sacred sword has great coverage with shadow sneak.

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 24 HP / 248 Def / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Defog
- U-turn
- Roost

Gliscor used to be a shuckle. It has great synergy with aegislash and mega mawile, both being weak to ground and fire types, which it is immune to and resists. It is an amazing counter to aegislash, 2HKOing it with EQ while aegislash can only 9HKO back with shadow sneak, or 4HKO after a swords dance. It also counters lead klefki, immune to thunderwave, hits hard with STAB EQ, and defogs away hazards. It is extremely durable with toxic orb and roost. U-turn allows it to switch to rotom-W or greninja.

Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- ExtremeSpeed
- Agility

This is another amazing physical sweeper. Extremespeed allows it to kill weakened pokemon or get in a last hit against a faster opponent. Dragon claw and earthquake give it great spammable moves. Agility is used over Dragon Dance to outspeed greninja, jolteon, aerodactyl, genesect, and others. Dragonite is supposed to get a free switch in after a KO, absorb a SE move with multiscale, activating weakness policy, use agility to double its speed, and proceed to sweep the opponent's team.

Mawile @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 172 Def / 84 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Pain Split
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch

Mawile is a great defensive pivot, coming in on almost any move, preferably outrage. It cripples physical attackers with intimidate, and is a great mega gengar counter. Substitute absorbs status and some damage, while painsplit keeps mawile healthy. Play rough is a good STAB, hitting dragons locked into outrage hard, while sucker punch allows it to hit first despite its terrible speed.

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

Greninja makes a good lead like gliscor does. It's fast, gets STAB on everything and can KO many things off of its amazing special attack. U-turn allows it to switch to gliscor, rotom, or mawile. Hidden power allows it to KO scizor, ferrothorn, forretress, and hit pokemon weak to fire harder than hydropump. Hydropump is another spammable move, while ice beam has amazing coverage over almost everything.

Thank you for reading my RMT.
 
I would recommend Stone Edge over U-turn on gliscor because it is too slow to switch out before many threats in the first place, and earthquake leaves it totally walled by flying type pokemon. I would also recommend a bulky rotom-w over specs rotom-w, with painsplit over thunderbolt, as it is redundant with volt switch.
