Of course here i come with my Blaziken rant as usual, along with some other nice combo's i have written down for team building purposes and from the analysis I have written. Most of the offensive combos feature one or two of Espeon, Mismagius, and Blaziken simply because i believe have been using them for so long and i have figured out the best ways to abuse their offensive synergy:

Whats so special?: Well, here is the basic strategy. Send your standard SubCM sweeper out, and scout what your opponent has counterwise by using substitute. If your opponent has Chansey, Steelix, or Registeel as their counter, then switch to Blaziken immediately. Blaziken tears these walls apart, so this puts your opponent in a dilema: Either switch out, and Risk one of their other Pokemon gets easily OHKOed/2HKOed, or stay in and risk getting OHKOed. Next time missy or Espeon can come in, dont bother using Substitute, just immediately switch to Blaziken, and rinse and repeat untill your opponent is forced to sacrifice its wall. Once the wall falls, Espeon and Missy are free to sweep. SubPeteya Yanmega works here too, btw.

Whats so special?: Well, Choice Specs Missy is adept at luring out Pokmeon such as Crobat, Drapion, Honchkrow, Registeel and Steelix, but can easily KO these Pokemon as well (HP ground for Drapion, Steelix, Registeel | Thunderbolt for Crobat / Honchkrow | Shadow Ball to do basic Specs sweeping / killing duties). If Chansey or Registeel decide to come in once they figure out you are Choice Specs, throw them a trick. This works on Registeel as well. Once your opponents Missy counters are out of the way, guess who can sweep? Espeon! Espeon can sweep easily because Missy and Espeon share similar counters. I prefer CM + 3 Attacks offensive Espeon, because it can easily 2HKO Regirock and even Registeel with some residual damage. Yes, Yanmega also works here.

What is so special?: Yea, this looks exactly like the previous combo, and it works similar. The difference here is that Espeon can Baton Pass AND Trick, while also hurting Steel-types and Drapion with HP Ground. With Baton Pass, Espeon can easily scout the opponents Espeon checks, and send out a counter. Usually, your opponent will need to send out Steelix, Chansey or Registeel (or a Dark-type). So who do you send out? None other than the Fire Chicken himself. With a Free attack your opponent will be forced to lose a pokemon or let the wall die, and you basically rinse and repeat. If they seem to have a good Blaziken check, or Blaziken faints, or you see an opportunity, you can also trick the wall / Counter Choice Specs, and make them utterly useless. After walls / counters are gone, Missy sweeps. Note: Yanmega works here too.

Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Superpower
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Flamethrower
- Agility

Whats so special?: The resistances Agility Blaziken has work amazingly well with Espeon. Espeon can set up a Calm Mind (one or two is enough even), and when your opponent sends out their Pokemon using a bug or dark attack, or even Steel-type from Registeel, thats when you easily switch to Blaziken. With your opponent scared shitless, against Blaziken with a couple Calm Minds and a subtitute, you can basically Agility and OHKO everything. Superpower takes out Chansey, and also helps with the odd Gastrodon / Quagsire.

Whats so special?: Many people are fermilliar with the Scizor+Jolteon combo in UU, well this is my version of it in UU. Basically, Espeon lures out Pokemon that are easily tauntable and forced out by either Ambipom or Crobat. Crobat lures out Pokemon such as Rhydon, Registeel and Regirock who are trick bait, or are hit hard by HP Ground. Advanced trainers can predict a U-turn as well, and send out their Blaziken / Hariyama to take it. Ambipom lures out similar Pokemon, who once they are Taunted usually switch out, but Ambipom also lures out Pokemon such as Hitmontop and Hariyama more often. Espeon can force out almost all of these opponents who with switch back to whichever Pokemon can deal with Specs Espeon, which is when you Baton Pass back to Crobat / Ambipom. Rinse and repeat. Note: Swellow works here too.

Defensive Combos:
+
+
Steelix + Milotic + Crobat
These Pokemon's sets dont matter really, its about their stats and resistances. Its just simply an amazing defensive core, it resists EVERYTHING!
______________________________________________________________
+
+
Registeel + Slowbro + Moltres
Registeel needs to be Specially defensive, Slowbro needs to be Physically defensive, and Moltres needs Roost, but thats it. Similar to the other set, this Combo resists everything (minus electric..but..lol) and can throw status, strong stab attacks or stealth rock around. Registeel and Slowbro work fine w.o moltres, but Moltres just adds the extra little resistance to special Fire attacks, and Ground attacks thats needed.
______________________________________________________________
Shaymin + Regirock
Similar, but more offensive than the other two. Regirock is bulky enough to take any Rock-type attack no-sweat. They resist everything except for Fighting, Bug, Dark and Rock. Shaymin is definitely a Pokemon you want to be in the battle most of the time, with its amazing damage and 1v1ing power. Regirock can take Moltres and Crobat out, while sponging a few hits of its own.
______________________________________________________________
The list honestly goes on and on!
EDIT: Damn you Erazor, posting while im posting! I guess mine has Moltres so..meh.
