Could be cool, I guess? Honestly probably worse than Zygarde but hey Smackdown exists! Why not use it? Also you can like Uturn a flying mon or something and go into another ground attacker which is a neat bonus

Someone might slow pivot to Smeargle versus a Pokémon Smeargle can outspeed.
Tailwind, Trick Room, whatever, point is Smeargle can take advantage of many opportunities if given the correct moves including the item.
Obvious pivots included:
Golem-alola @ Volt Switch
Ability: Galvanize
- Giga Impact
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Tomb
150 Base power Galvanized STAB Volt Switch :(
Or a Rock Tomb U-turn
Someone has already mention Dragon Tail U Turn Mew and U-Turn V-Create Victini. They brought insane momentum to setup sweeper

Im gunna go back and try and answer more questions but first thing I need to point out to people is that the itemized attack only affects attacks in the moveslots. So you can't use priority status with quick attack in the item slot for instance.
Secondly when it comes to affecting the BP of attacks, it will come down to coding as to which moves ultimately work but as a guideline:
if the BP in the teambuilder is "--", then the attack won't have any effect in the item slot. This is because the listed "effect" is just the base power. But if the BP in the teambuilder is "40" and then there is a conditional chance for more damage, that will actually have an effect in the item slot.
So Grass Knot, Gyro Ball, Punishment, Reversal- attacks like these are likely to have no effect.
Attacks like Payback and Weather Ball have a varying damage value but WILL work.
This can be clarified more if/when the meta is coded!
Heres a set I am slapping on to the bottom of this post:
Entei @ Sacred Fire
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Flare Blitz
- Stone Edge
- Stomping Tantrum
Priority burn chance to stop sweeping, and just generally very hard to switch into.

So, supposing I was to take a crack at coding this, then would this be the list of move properties you'd want to copy?
- breaksProtect (Feint, Hyperspace Fury, Hyperspace Hole, Phantom Force, Shadow Force)
- critRatio (Aeroblast, Air Cutter, Attack Order, Blaze Kick, Crabhammer, Cross Chop, Cross Poison, Drill Run, Karate Chop, Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Poison Tail, Psycho Cut, Razor Leaf, Razor Wind, Shadow Claw, Sky Attack, Slash, Spacial Rend, Stone Edge)
- defensiveCategory (Psyshock, Psystrike, Secret Sword)
- drain (Absorb, Draining Kiss, Drain Punch, Dream Eater, Giga Drain, Horn Leech, Leech Life, Mega Drain, Oblivion Wing, Parabolic Charge)
- flags; just a limited set (e.g. bite, contact, defrost, pulse, punch) or just copy all flags including e.g. authentic (bypass Substitute), bullet/sound (triggers Bullet/Soundproof), charge/recharge?
- forceSwitch (Circle Throw, Dragon Tail)
- ignoreAbility (Moongeist Beam, Photon Geyser, Sunsteel Strike)
- ignoreDefensive, ignoreEvasion (Chip Away, Darkest Lariat, Sacred Sword)
- ignoreImmunity (Thousand Arrows hits airborne targets)
- priority (additive)
- pseudoWeather (Plasma Fists)
- recoil? (possibly useful with Reckless)
- secondaries (additive)
- self (additive)
- selfSwitch (U-turn, Volt Switch)
- sleepUsable? (Rest + 3 attacks + Sleep Talk/Snore in item slot)
- stealsBoosts (Spectral Thief)
- thawsTarget?
- useTargetOffensive (Foul Play)
- volatileStatus (Thousand Arrows, Smack Down, partially trapping moves)
- willCrit (Frost Breath, Storm Throw)
What about coded effects? For instance, basePowerCallback handles a multitude of effects:
- Acrobatics: Not useful because user always has an item
- Assurance: Probably unusable because of its mechanics
- Avalanche: BP doubles if user was hit
- Crush Grip: BP varies by target's %BP
- Echoed Voice: Deals 40BP first turn, increasing by 40BP each turn until it reaches 200BP (requires additional coding)
- Electro Ball: BP varies by speed
- Eruption: BP varies by %HP
- Flail: BP varies by %HP
- Frustration: BP varies by happiness
- Fury Cutter: BP doubles with each subsequent hit (limit 160BP)
- Grass Knot: BP varies by target's weight
- Gyro Ball: BP varies by speed
- Heat Crash: BP varies by weight
- Heavy Slam: BP varies by weight
- Hex: Doubles power if target has status
- Ice Ball: Probably unusable because of its mechanics
- Low Kick: BP varies by weight
- Payback: BP doubles if target already moved
- Power Trip: BP varies by boosts
- Punishment: BP varies by target's boosts
- Pursuit: Banned
- Return: BP varies by happiness
- Revenge: BP doubles if user was hit
- Reversal: BP varies by %HP
- Rollout: Probably unusable because of its mechanics
- Round: Only useful in Doubles
- Smelling salts: BP doubles if target paralysed
- Spit Up: Not viable
- Stomping Tantrum: BP doubles if last move failed
- Stored Power: BP varies by boosts
- Triple Kick: Banned
- Trump Card: BP varies by PP
- Wake-Up Slap: BP doubles if target asleep
- Water Spout: BP varies by %HP
- Water Shuriken: Banned
- Wring Out: BP varies by target's %HP
I think Iron Fist + Mach/Bullet punch could be interesting:
Infernape @ Mach Punch
Ability: Iron Fist
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- U-Turn
Or a special set (less reliable):
Infernape @ Mach Punch
Ability: Iron Fist
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot
Or even:
Conkeldurr @ Mach Punch
- Bulk Up
- Superpower/Drain Punch
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake

Volcarona could be very cool on this meta:

EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Flamethrower/Fire Blast
- Bug Buzz

Fiery dance allow volcarona to become more powerfull almost each turn, whithout the lack of power of the attack. In more, flame body can punish physical priority user.

It's like Choice Band and Choice Specs at the same time, except you can switch moves, and you ignore defensive boosts. Probably not the ideal spread/moveset, more of a proof of concept than anything.
Gengar @ Infestation
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast
- Destiny Bond
The main problem with Gengar's classic trapping set is that it trades in a lot of its offensive pressure for the chance to trap an opponent. Now that all of Gengar's attacks trap the opponent, it can be run as a standard fast attacker up to the moment you decide to trade with a slower opponent.
As a side note, I don't understand how even modestly offensive teams are supposed to function when some mons get +2 priority to every move. Is Tapu Lele just going to be mandatory?
EDIT: Made more sets.

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

A priority-using revenge killer that doesn't get stonewalled by Psychic Terrain. I mean, Lele can always switch, in, but Koko will at least put a halt to sweeps. Alternatively, swap Volt Switch and Quick Attack for a dedicated pivot with a priority switching option.

Muk-Alola @ Venoshock / Poison Fang
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Poison Jab
- Knock Off
- Fire Punch
- Pursuit
This is a set like the ones posted in that Toxic Spikes team, but with added bonus of not having to run Toxic or Toxic Spikes on another teammate as Poison Jab has a 60% chance to poison and every other move has a 30% chance. Alternatively, Poison Fang as the item trades power for status spreading, as every move now has more than a 50% chance to poison.
Chesnaught @ Feint
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature

- Drain Punch / Hammer Arm

So, if you get an opportunity to set up, then... yeah... Drain Punch will keep you from being revenge killed as easily by other Feint/ESpeed users and Hammer Arm nukes things.

Do Abilities stack? If I put Drain Punch (punching, contact, drains 50% of damage inflicted) in Conkeldurr's item slot, will that stack an additional 20% damage on top of what Hammer Arm, Poison Jab, and Ice/Thunder Punch already get? I'm asking because this is a thing, then.

Like, that's still gonna be pretty devastating without the additional 20% damage boost, but getting bonus damage to Knock Off as well as making everything heal a bit is nutty.

I don't think flags like "is punch move" or "is bullet move" would be able to stack. Would definitely be nice for applying Iron Fist to things like Knock Off though!
I've already started coding it, and so far I have the validation complete. Below is a very WIP version of the completed code.

wow, 30% flinch on a mon with 50 base speed. completely unbalanced.
A. the example mon was completely random. could go on any mon with headbutt honestly.

Garchomp should run Dual Chop over Dragon Claw if it's running Bull Doze/Flame Charge/any other move with effects. Dual Chop is one of the few remotely decent double hit moves, and it would make ol' Chomper here quite the beast. All other Pokemon with access to Dual Chop and its related moves Bonemerang and Gear Grind are super mediocre, but Garchomp is already good and this just makes him great.
