you must share both types in order to get the moves. No tail glow for nothing that you mentioned bar Politoed.
Anyway I'm asking for who want to code this meta. If you are interested PM me.

On a fully special set tail glow or quiver dance is better, but they don't get it so... Tail Glow.
Edit: only poli gets anyway.

Oh I have a question are we only having gen 3+ move sets eg Raichu can't pass down surf.
We are only going to have moves legally aviable in Gen6, yes.

Entei @ White Herb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Earthquake
- Sacred Fire / Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
While this is theorymonning, this set looks pretty dangerous. It receives one of the BEST Set-Up moves in the game from Torkoal and it can get Earthquake from Magmortar for nearly perfect coverage. It isn't even easily revenged by priority as it has the dangerous Extreme Speed. It holds a White Herb as it's bulk is pretty good and otherwise you completely waste it. Adamant nature 'cause you're fast enough at +2. That said you can easily modify Speed EV's to outspeed a certain threat at +2 as I'm sure 252 Speed isn't needed. You can run Flare Blitz over Sacred Fire to have a bit more power, but the recoil hurts.
Other potential Shell Smashers are pure waters.

Wow, Klefki is now basically a better typed prankster Deoxys. Screens, SR, Spikes, Taunt, Thunder Wave... Deosharp, or should I say KlefSharp, looks quite good now. Oooo, and Milotic (Competitive) gets shell smash and tail glow! HO teams look very strong.
Mr. Mime.
what do you mean by mr mime
canno
formerly The Reptile
He's referring to the fact that Mr. Mime has Soundproof, making it immune to Boomburst
Obviously this means you run Tri Attack (via Swablu getting it from Dodrio) alongside Boomburst :^)
Immuned to Sound attacks
Maybe someone already suggested these but I'll just post some suggestions.
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin

Extremekiller 2.0. With Strong STABs. And Scrappy. Maybe someone can be a better abuser for this though.
Altaria @ Altarianite

Possibly mixed sweeper? Also another extremekiller maybe.
Scizor @ Scizorite

Sceptile @ Sceptilite

Modest/Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance (Lilligant)
- Dragon Pulse
- Seed Flare (Shaymin)

- Pixilate Extremespeed (Dragonite)
- Pixilate Boomburst (Noivern)
- V-Create (Rayquaza)
- Swords Dance (Rayquaza)
When used by mega Altaria, Extremespeed and Boomburst got boosted by Pixilate, unlike the other Dragon Flying types.

Man, Volcarona, Tyranitar, Bisharp, Heatran, Ferrothorn, Gengar and Terrakion all really get kinda shafted by this... poor unique-typed pokes...
Anyway, Swords Dance MegaZard X sounds really dangerous once faster threats have been eliminated. You could even go for a double dance set with it for both sweeping capability and wallbreaking power, since Dragon/Fire dual STAB gets such good coverage on its own... and remember that it also gets Sacred Fire if you prefer to use that over Flare Blitz (which would be great for burning things like Azumarill...)!
Hype for U-Turn Forretress! Garchomp gets U-Turn (via flygon), Dragon Dance and Extremespeed (both via Zygarde) too, making it an absolute powerhouse sweeper in the right hands! I would say Swords Dance + Extremespeed Flygon too, but quite frankly Garchomp outclasses it in every way. Sorry, Flygon.
Gunk Shot + Water Shuriken + Knock Off + Dragon Dance Crawdaunt could be a powerful Pokemon, courtesy of Greninja. Water Shuriken works especially well when you consider it is so slow and gets Adaptability STAB on the move! Sharpedo also gets these moves but it is way faster and weaker, so I like Crawdaunt for this more.
Fancy a Rapid Spin Steelix? How about an Excadrill with Stone Edge, or maybe one with Taunt?
Kyurem-Black FINALLY gets Fusion Flare! Sweet, right? No? Okay...
Every single pure Psychic type in the game, including (but not limited to) Alakazam, Gothitelle, Reuniclus, and Azelf, gets to use Mewtwo's signature Psystrike + Aura Sphere combo, as well as having access to Mew's vast movepool at their disposal. Alakazam will particularly love Psystrike and Aura Sphere (for sweeping and reliability respectively), while Gothitelle will be terrifying now it gets to use all of Mew's attacks and support options in conjunction with Shadow Tag.
There's loads of other awesome stuff too, but these caught my eye.

I see where you're coming from, but your moveset would change after using Transform, so you wouldn't be able to Imprison all of your opponent's moves.
*Edit
Nevermind, I'm a bozo. :(

That set is used somewhat in 1v1 on smeargle. The imprison effect stays even after transforming. Therefore the gimmick still would work even if wobbuffet transforms into the opposing pokemon
Except it wouldn't since they can just switch out because STag does go away when Transforming.
