Sets:

Mew @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature

EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Impish Nature
- Will-O-Wisp

Infernape @ Leftovers
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Flamethower
- Slack Off
- Taunt

Since nobody has posted a defensive core, I guess I will do it. As most people know, M-Sableye's main weakness comes from Fairy type Pokemon like M-Altaria or M-Gardevoir. So we patch up that weakness with SpD Infernape. It runs Flamethower Shot to get rid of Fairies while being able to take hits pretty well. Wisp is run to stop Physical Attackers, while Recovery is on all three. Knock Off is on 2 mons, while Wisp is on 2. Mew has access to Rocks and both Mew and Nape Carry Taunt. Fun fact, all three can learn Wisp, Taunt and some form of recovery while both Sableye and Mew learn Knock Off. Infernape absorbs Fighting hits that Dark Types and so can Sableye can handle Ghosts well for Mew. In general the core is pretty weak to SD Talonflame and M-ZardX as well as not doing too well against M-ZardY, due to inherent immunity to burn. Toxic can be run to alleviate this weakness, but is still apparent. It also kind of struggles against M-Altaria if it gets a few DD's up. However, it finds little room to get these DD's up with Taunt, Wisp and Foul Play following it around. Overall a solid Defensive core, but just lacks a few stops to set up sweepers.

Pretty sure Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie rips this core apart if this is your answer to Fairies. Specs Latios or Calm Mind Latios also one-shots everything each time it comes in.

Got one here. works pretty simple gard+hydra have fantastic offensive synergy with dark+drag and Fairy+psychic hitting pretty much everything in the meta for a ton of damage. This core uses scarf hydra to make up for gards low speed to revenge pokemon that are low from gards attacks while also being capable of pivioting back into gard also has fire blast cause mega scizor is annoying . Naturally the Core hates weavile and cobalion helps take care of it thanks to his bulk and typing being able to handle weavile really well. Also has volt switch to form a volt turn core with hydra. Cobalion also sets up rocks which takes advantage of gard being able to force switches. Guess another option is to run Lo hydra and use t-wave on cobalion. Works pretty well on balence and offense. Only real issues is that Fast pokemon can really annoy this core so some fat offensive mon or any talonflame set should be able to fix that up. Bring another mon that resist fighting also for it.

So I started with a fighting type mon that no1 has used on this thread yet and it was the mexican bird HAWLUCHA. Now Hawlucha is very threatening sincec it can set up and start them sweeps however, good old fat unaware clefable can eat all them eats. So I added bisharp to get knock out clefable with them iron heads and pursuit trap lati twins since hawlucha has adamant. I also have starmie to take t-waves and beat down mons like thundurus and to take down skarmory,hippowdon, and garchomp which can force hawlucha out with whirlwind/roar.

Nice reference to my Dream Team :P Anyway I would run 12 HP and 244 Speed w/ max Atk on Hawlucha for letting it able to activate its Sitrus Berry when it uses Substitute twice.

Jirachi + Keldeo + Tyranitar

Yeah so this is essentially Jirachi + Keldeo, which is a goddamn amazing core because of the fact that Jirachi beats many Pokemon Keldeo struggles with, namely Fairy-, Psychic-, Flying-, Grass-, and Dragon-types such as Mega Gardevoir, Alakazam, Tornadus-T, Serperior, and Dragalge, while providing Stealth Rock suppot to whittle down switch-ins, momentum with U-turn, and paralysis support with Body Slam. Keldeo, in return, handles the Ground- and Dark-types which Jirachi struggle with, such as Landorus-T and Weavile. However, Jirachi and Keldeo both have a mutual dislike for Mega Manectric, Raikou, Volcarona, Toxicroak, and Talonflame - and that's where Tyranitar comes in. Armed with a Choice Scarf and Earthquake, it functions as a good answer to these above Pokemon, while also providing Pursuit support for Psychic-types should they overwhelm Jirachi. Core doesn't like Mega Altaria, and the lack of a Ground-type immunity / resistance can be annoying as well especially when facing fast and powerful Ground-types such as Excadrill in sand or Double Dance Landorus-T. Enjoy n_n

Note: This core is also pretty weak to Bulky Toxicroak Sets. If you are unable to KO Toxicroak with an EQ from TTar you can't really beat it reliably. Knock Off murders Rachi, while it takes no damage from Keldeo. It can heal back all the damage from EQ with a Drain Punch if it isn't in KO range. It is also hard to whittle down with the other parts of your core because Toxicroak can just spam Drain Punch against them. You have to hope for paralysis from Rachi to be able to beat it. (Similar to your M-Alt)

Toxicroak is really uncommon and even if it exists, Ttar OHKOes it with Earthquake.
252 Atk Tyranitar Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Toxicroak: 316-372 (102.9 - 121.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

I don't know what Bulky Toxicroak set you are talking about though (is that even a thing?). All Toxicroak I see run 252 Atk / 252 Spe.

 

[Mix]

There is a core based on Mega-Sharpedo + Celebi with Conkeldurr support!
Sharpedo combined with Speed Boost and Strong Jaw can be an unstoppable treath, the only things can stop it when he's at +2 Atk are Unaware Clefable, and Quagsire but we had SD+Seed Bomb Celebi + Poison Jab Conkeldurr, Celbi can pass SD to Sharpedo but can also pass it to Conkeldurr because he can spam gigant drain punch and fast mach punch, the evs in speed for Conkeldurr are for outspeed 24 spe Clefable (the most used)

Even though this isn't a problem, I wanna remind everyone that this isn't a popularity contest, so I don't wanna see one guy get a substantially higher amount of votes every week and win because they have more friends. Take a look at every core before voting, because some of them are really cool.

Good Luck to everyone!
