Well anything can happen turn one. I probally would have switched out, but most people expect you to switch out and so they uses a move that isn't bolt strike.
NU4Ubers 'nuff said but to elaborate CB ninjask, Lieapard, Scarf Ditto, Kadabra, Gigalith, CB Basculen yeah...
252+ SpA Kyogre Ice Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Zekrom: 254-300 (74.26 - 87.71%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(254, 258, 260, 264, 266, 270, 272, 276, 278, 282, 284, 288, 290, 294, 296, 300)
252 Atk Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Kyogre: 516-608 (150.87 - 177.77%) -- guaranteed OHKO
(516, 522, 528, 534, 540, 546, 552, 558, 564, 570, 576, 582, 588, 594, 600, 608)
Zekrom would've still won regardless of who won the speed tie, admittedly it would've been heavily dented in the process but considering you still had Ty-tar waiting in the wings, it's too early to lose the weather war on turn 1.

ChestoResto Deoxys-A, CM normal arceus (The guy tells me its good cuz it has lefties), and a pure Explosion team are some of the worst I've seen.
Today I saw a Bounce Keldeo and a Dream Eater Ho-Oh (that tried to use it on Turn 1 against a very much awake Groudon). I still haven't figured out how to rationalize either one.
Well, clearly, Keldeo needs flying-type coverage to counter all those pesky grass types in the Ubers metagame. As for Ho-oh, it needs good Psychic type coverage against all the Weezings you see around, and those lazy things often just fall asleep on their own.
Inverted Darkness's team:Darkrai / Rayquaza / Deoxys-Speed / Arceus-* / Palkia / Ho-Oh
darkkevin725's team:Heatran / Spiritomb / Drifblim / Electivire / Kyogre / Metagross
Battle timer is now ON: inactive players will automatically lose when time's up. (requested by Inverted Darkness)
darkkevin725: oh legendarys, u suck ass nuts
darkkevin725's team:Heatran / Spiritomb / Drifblim / Electivire / Kyogre / Metagross

Well, Water/Flying has amazing coverage. Perhaps that is what this 'visionary' was going for.
B/c Kyogre and Heatran aren't legendaries /).-
Scarftwo, Scarf Zekrom, Scarf Kyurem-B on the same team. The sad part is, it actually beat me (mainly due to surprise factor, my team having no steel types and an Outrage crit that killed Grassceus).
Also random weather sweepers without weather support.
One team had (I'm assuming, based on 3 of the Pokemon's items activating) a gem on each Pokemon. I think the reasoning was that if each Pokemon gets a OHKO you never lose. The most interesting one was a dragon gem outrage from Giratina-A. Unprecedented power.

That guy's thought process is an interesting one to imagine... "Okay, so I have one physically powerful but semi-slow scarfer on my team in Zekrom. What should I put in next? Oh, I know, how about another! Nothing short of a Flygon can beat me now!"
Man, I normally wouldn't post an entire battle, but this just had so much crap in it that I may as well: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-40557066
And yes, I know I was using some stupid sets too, but that's for this week's challenge so I can get away with it =)
Some highlights:

Some highlights:
why the hell did he use solarbeam instead of blue flaring your damn heatran at the end? I am dissapoint =/
He probably didn't have a fire move
The funny part is all those precautions can be nullified by a single move in Smack Down.
Not to mention how surprisingly strong Heatran is:
The foe's Heatran used Earthquake!
A critical hit! It's super effective! Zekrom lost 72.1% of its health!
The funny thing is, if he hadn't forgotten that Turboblaze negates Flash Fire he would have won xx
I saw an eviolite Metang, and it was definitely used masterfully against me a few months ago.
Headbutt Blissey
Blank Sent out Darkrai
MrKijani sent out Genesect
