Talking about Stab MnM:
Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Origin Pulse
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Shell Smash
This is just an update to the regular set it uses on NatDex Ubers, with the adition of stronger stab boosted by it's ability.
Yes, there are plenty of priority in this meta, but nothing that things like screens/veil, P.Terrain and Manectite users can handle. And even at -1 defense it's not that frail, it survived Sucker Punch from Metagrossite Bisharp.
It's really strong.
Edit: As Cuddly said, Cloyster is better for this kind of set:

If you see this thing, preserve your -ate espeed spammer/regieleki. Don't ever let they get worn down until Blastoise is gone.

Edit: As Cuddly said, Cloyster is better for this kind of set:
Mega Blastoise is pretty cool, but Cloyster with Blastoisinite or Rotom-Wash are better imo.
Blastoise has access to more Pulse moves, but the only Pulse move you’ll ever need is Origin Pulse and maybe Dragon Pulse. Aura Sphere/Dark Pulse are actually slightly weaker even against advantage effectiveness (that is Origin Pulse hits harder against a Pure Water and Pure Normal type than Aura Sphere). 110x1.5x1.5 = 247.5
80x2x1.5 = 240
85x2x1.5 = 255
So unless you’re facing a Ferrothorn, a Kingdra, or Alolan Sandslash, you are better off replacing Aura Sphere with Dragon Pulse.
But either way, you’re better off using Cloyster for it has the same Spe and SpA as Blastoise, but the bulk is loaded in the physical side in an Extreme Speed spam heavy meta and additionally gets Skill Link Water Shuriken and Freeze-Dry.
And Rotom-Wash is also a good option, as while it’s frailer, it has better defensive utility thanks to Levitate and being part electric. Additionally, it has a higher SpA, Roost, and Freeze-Dry. Also in this Meta, it is sometimes better to have Nasty Plot over Shell Smash thanks to Spectral Thief.
Inteleon is also pretty good, lacking set up or bulk for just immediate and fast fire power.
That’s about it. Usually, other Special Waters will use Water Spout with something like Lucarionite or on a Pokemon like Palkia which has duel HP based power STAB moves.
