hello, i would like to contribute.
Taunt Hyper Offense
i designed this team to abuse hazards as best as any hyper offense team can and that is with 4 taunt users. in addition to destroying stall, this team also plays well versus offense and balance thanks to substitute mega heracross, thunder wave thundurus, and swords dance talonflame. since 4 of my pokemon have taunt, it was important to include ways to beat other offensive teams. mega heracross pretty much beats bulky offense on its own and checks bisharp (can set up a substitute on it as well). leftovers thunder wave thundurus slows down opposing offensive teams and is a crucial answer to talonflame. gengar gives balance problems and is my spinblocker. i recommend playing very very risky with gengar since the point of this team is to keep your hazards up. that means switching into rapid spinners even if you think they wont rapid spin. bisharp is on the team because along with it and talonflame, offensive teams that try to set up will not run through my team because of all the strong priority. it is also on my team in case someone brings out a defogger on my heracross so that i can abuse the attack increase. the team basically auto-wins versus stall, so the members were chosen to be able to contend versus other playstyles. taunt hyper offense i dont think has ever been played with, but it is really good in ORAS because balance is everywhere. here are some replays from some games i just did:

the first one demonstrates how the guy got mad because i taunted his defogger over and over. he wasnt very good but it's just to show you that it's easy to keep hazards up. the second one is just versus a sand offense team.
here is another replay which allowed me to go 22-1 on the ou ladder with this team and it showcases more taunt spam which lets me win pretty easily because he cannot set up or defog or set up his own rocks which are hard for my team to deal with
