Thanks for gathering and posting some of these. I hope to see us add some more of these as people move onto other teams or stop playing a particular team.

I'll try and explain the EV spreads on my paste, as they're all particularly crafted and I think information sharing is good for the development of the format, as awful as it is to play at times.

Conk survive a Jolly Terrakion Fighting Gem CC & Modest Hydreigon Dragon Dem Draco Meteor when behind a Light Screen. 44 Speed is 1 point faster than 0 EV Eelektross, rest dumped Attack.
Whimsicott survives -2 Flying Gem Tornadus Acrobatics 12.25% of the time and Hydreigon Gem Draco ~12.5% when behind a Light Screen. 220 Speed is 1 point faster than genies. I should probably make -2 acro never OHKO as Gem Hydreigon isn't popular but whatever.
Volc survives a -1 Jolly Terrakion Rock Slide 25% of the time and always survives a Timid Hydreigon Gem Draco. It outspeeds Modest Hydreigon and can OHKO it with Bug Buzz & Genies and Amoonguss with Overheat
Krook survives a -1 Terrakion Close Combat and can OHKO -1 Def Terrakion back with EQ. Outspeeds Modest Chandelure
This Thundurus spread is outdated, as it doesn't guarantee it survives a Timid EGem TBolt from opposing Thundurus-I (it's a low chance to OHKO but its so few EVs to make it never OHKO). It does always survive an Adamant Rock Slide from Terrakion. Max speed for the true 2011 experience of speed ties.
Reuniclus survived Timid Hydreigon Gem Draco & Timid LO Dark Pulse as well as Adamant Krookodile Dark Gem Crunch. 208 SpA gives it a favorable chance to OHKO bulky standard Amoonguss and you OHKO TurboShroom (although it does outspeed you, but wcyd).

It's a fun team. I like some of the ideas on it, but its very much a work in progress.
