idea shamelessly stolen from ShakeItUp's RU version

While many people say leads are dead with the advent of Team Preview, this is anything but the truth. People still like having hazards, screens, SmashPassers, weather inducers, and more in the lead position. This thread is to talk about common leads and post your creative lead movesets

I guess I will give us a lead to start with:
Deoxys-D @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 48 HP / 252 SpA / 208 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Psycho Boost
- Hidden Power Fire / Thunderbolt
Deoxys-D is a slightly controversial and fairly common lead Pokemon. This set is excellent on any HO team. You can literally use this Deoxys-D + 5 sweepers and have yourself a team. This thing destroys spinners like nobody's business, with Psycho Boost OHKOing Tentacruel and 2HKOing Donphan. The last move is for hitting either Forretress (and I guess Ferrothorn) or Starmie, which HP Fire for the former and Thunderbolt for the latter. As it can beat the common spinners, setting up hazards isn't very hard, although this set is nowhere near as bulky as others. Gengar makes an excellent partner, as it appreciates the hazards because of the switches it forces with Disable, but more importantly, Gengar can spinblock. This set is made for HO, so use it on it. Oh yeah and don't use the gems on-site, Life Orb is way better. Don't let its disappointing base 70 Special Attack fool you, Psycho Boost hits HARD. The only thing that really stops this from setting up hazards is faster Taunt and Magic Bounce. A great strategy to use against it is to let it die, as it is a suicide lead, and bring out your spinner later after Deoxys-D is dead. Looking at the lead statistics, Tyranitar and Genesect seem to be pretty much the only common leads stopping it from getting up at least SR + 1 layer of Spikes, which is often more than enough. Deoxys-D does exceptionally well against Ferrothorn and Forretress leads with HP Fire, and it can even run Thunder to smack Politoed leads. Overall, this Deoxys-D set is much rarer than the common Fast Spiker, but it can be absolutely devastating with the right partners.

+ ---- + ------------------ + ------ + ------- + - Many of the entry hazard users in the OU entry hazard guide make excellent leads, you can check those out for some great leads.
I guess I will give us a lead to start with:

Deoxys-D @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 48 HP / 252 SpA / 208 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Psycho Boost
- Hidden Power Fire / Thunderbolt
Deoxys-D is a slightly controversial and fairly common lead Pokemon. This set is excellent on any HO team. You can literally use this Deoxys-D + 5 sweepers and have yourself a team. This thing destroys spinners like nobody's business, with Psycho Boost OHKOing Tentacruel and 2HKOing Donphan. The last move is for hitting either Forretress (and I guess Ferrothorn) or Starmie, which HP Fire for the former and Thunderbolt for the latter. As it can beat the common spinners, setting up hazards isn't very hard, although this set is nowhere near as bulky as others. Gengar makes an excellent partner, as it appreciates the hazards because of the switches it forces with Disable, but more importantly, Gengar can spinblock. This set is made for HO, so use it on it. Oh yeah and don't use the gems on-site, Life Orb is way better. Don't let its disappointing base 70 Special Attack fool you, Psycho Boost hits HARD. The only thing that really stops this from setting up hazards is faster Taunt and Magic Bounce. A great strategy to use against it is to let it die, as it is a suicide lead, and bring out your spinner later after Deoxys-D is dead. Looking at the lead statistics, Tyranitar and Genesect seem to be pretty much the only common leads stopping it from getting up at least SR + 1 layer of Spikes, which is often more than enough. Deoxys-D does exceptionally well against Ferrothorn and Forretress leads with HP Fire, and it can even run Thunder to smack Politoed leads. Overall, this Deoxys-D set is much rarer than the common Fast Spiker, but it can be absolutely devastating with the right partners.
