RMT, Uhhhh.... Dammit, I can't think of a theme

Gallade @Leftovers
Adamant Nature
EVs: 232 HP / 252 Atk / 24 Spe

Bulk Up
Psycho Cut
Fire Punch
Hypnosis

The rarely seen Bulk Up Gallade is leading this one. Psycho Cut + Fire Punch is only walled by the likes of Heatran, who can't OHKO it anyway. Hypnosis is a nice support move for it to have against other starters who tend to setup and leave.

EVs: 232 SpA / 252 Spe / 24 Atk

Ice Shard
Nasty Plot
Hidden Power Fire
Dark Pulse

MixVile, I tried it out on Shoddy and it worked perfectly, however, thanks to Pokemon called Tyranitar and Hippowdon, it can't stay in for long.

Fire Blast
Explosion

My Poison and Burn absorber. Not much to explain, here.

Floatzel @Life Orb
Naive Nature
EVs: 216 Spe / 252 SpA / 40 Atk

Brick Break
Taunt
Ice Beam
Hidden Power Electric

A new type of Floatzel I've been trying out on Shoddy. It works wonders when it gets the jump on my opponent.

Hidden Power Electric on the standard BulkyDos:

Damage: 305 - 359
Damage: 79.22% - 93.25%

Combined with SR support, it can be an easy OHKO.

Ice Beam on the standard Gliscor is kind of a lol calculation.

Gliscor @Leftovers
Impish Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def

Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Stealth Rock
Roost

I needed Stealth Rock support and a way to stop Heracross on a rampage, soooo.......

Registeel @Leftovers
Relaxed Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpD

Thunder
Ice Punch
Explosion
Hammer Arm

Standard OU Tank Registeel. It makes up for the lack of defense on this team.
 
There is literally NO point to running a mixed Weavile set unless you really, really, REALLY don't like Forretress. You don't even OHKO Forretress with HP Fire without a Nasty Plot, and if you Nasty Plot on a switch-in, they're not going to keep Forretress in to see what you're trying to do.

You can't even OHKO the standard supporting Bronzong (Relaxed) with a 3x Nasty Plot HP Fire - you'd do around the same damage with a 2x Swords Danced Night Slash. (I'll conceed that you will occasionally get the OHKO with Stealth Rocks in the picture, but 'OHKO with Rocks up' is just a buzzword for '2HKO'.)

Other likely Steel-type Weavile switch-ins are hurt more by HP Fire than his typical Brick Break/Night Slash/Ice Punch antics - Metagross takes about 2% more from HP Fire than Night Slash, and Scizor gets kicked around much like Forretress does, only less - but they will often be coming in with priority moves.

If you feel the need to stick with a mixed set, go with one leaning more toward the physical side, switching Nasty Plot and Dark Pulse for Swords Dance and Night Slash. 64 SpA EVs and a neutral nature should let you 2HKO Forretress 100% of the time with HP Fire, taking Leftovers recovery into account.

As far as the Mixed Floatzel is concerned, consider trading Brick Break for Focus Punch, which OHKOs Blissey most of the time with Stealth Rocks, and even if it doesn't, you can outspeed and kill with the move of your choice.
