I know, I was re-confirming his statement by showing that Leaf Storm into HP Ground kills.
Bug and Electric Alomomola is pretty cool, being able to reliably pass wishes with volturn while simultaneously healing itself with regenerator, could be a good option for offensive teams. Also cool to note electric mola can use nuzzle, and the ground types that block nuzzle and volt switch are hit by a potential scald burn.
EDIT: Contrary Serperior seems real scary; a set of Leaf Storm, V-create, HP Ground, and filler moves such as dragon pulse or substitute will destroy everything that lack powerful priority, and even then after some V-create boosts it can even survive things like talon's BB:
252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. +2 0 HP / 0 Def Serperior: 246-290 (84.5 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Sure it does a crap-ton, but a banded max attack talon cannot even OHKO a grass type with no defensive investment (although thanks to V-create you probably dont need speed investment). Meanwhile:
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Serperior Dragon Pulse vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Talonflame: 227-268 (76.4 - 90.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
After BB recoil (or DA defense decrease) dragon pulse will KO.

Yeah, dark is a great type. Think about stuff like Mega-Tyranitar or Mega-Gyarados, though. Terrifying

It's STABmons all over again. Taunt, WoW, and KOff are other options.
Alomomola can also abuse Parting Shot+Wish to force switches and bring in sweepers (such as Mega Gyarados or Mega TTar with KOff and/or Sucker Punch) safely while healing them as well.

Dark really does offer so much: Knock Off, Pursuit, Sucker Punch, Memento, Taunt, Nasty Plot, Dark Void, Parting Shot, Topsy-Turvy, etc. It's probably one of the best types.
