I have player on Pokemon Online with a Physical Sweeper Salamence Knocking out a least 3 pokes, i preffer a late or mid game sweep, or an super effective oportunity to moxie quickly.
MOXIE / Choice Scarf - 252 EV ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 HP - Nature: JOLLY
OUTRAGE
FIRE FANG
EARTHQUAKE
STONE EDGE / IRON TAIL
I normally use this set, as a revenge killer, and since outrage confusion could be up to turn 2 o 3, thats why i tactically preffer a late use of it.
Hope you like this successfull set in my opinon.
This is my lowdown of the set:
Moxie: Intimidate is much better in VGC.
EVs: In level 100 singles (which I assume is where you used this), the remaining 4 EVs have been horribly placed. They give you an even HP number. This only lets you switch into Stealth Rock 4 times instead of 5 (not relevant to VGC, but you clearly have no experience with the metagame).
Outrage - sucks in VGC. Status is more crippling in doubles - especially when you have only 4 Pokémon to use per match. Stick with Dragon Claw
Fire Fang - outdamaged by Fire Blast even with no SpA investment and a neutral nature
Earthquake - the only sensible move on the set
Stone Edge - Rock Slide is so much better because it is spread
Iron Tail - sucks in both singles AND doubles. Way too inaccurate for a move with a: bad offensive typing, b: Focus Blast accuracy coupled with only 100 bp and c: Iron Head exists. (sure it is illegal on Mence in VGC'14 but that doesn't suddenly give Iron Tail a niche)
If you want to use that set in VGC, it should be this (although it is still outclassed by special sets in this Intimidate and Will-O-Wisp-infested metagame):
