Pkmn/HxH
This is one of my most successful teams. Did you ever happen to face weird Pokemons? Well, that's why I choose Arceus-Ice as starting mon.
Looks like no one ever used it in SM (and even in other metagames like BW2/ORAS ubers, it was clearly nonexistent), but the current ladder lacks of a true ice resist. Why? It's basically 'cause no one uses ice pokémons.
The main switchins on Arceus Ice are probably Kyogre, which can't deal with Thunder, and Magearna/Aegislash, hardly hitted by Fire Blast. The remaining mons will take an OHKO or a 2HKO.
Arceus-Ice is a nice switch-in on Zygarde 100%, offering an OHKO and the chance to troll the opposing players with its coverage.
Anyway, I built this team together with other 7 teams in December.
I remember that the starting core was Arceus Ice+ Groudon Primal, which offers a safe switch-in on Pokémons that Arceus Ice clearly dislikes and it sets up Stealth Rocks too. Then I added Yveltas as a reliable Giratina counter, offering high momentum together with Pheromosa, our revenge killer.
Magearna stops Xerneas and gains boosts, offering an useful Thunder Wave in order to slow down the opposing team and helps CBYveltal. As last slot I picked our buddy Giratina-O 'cause of Groudon... (It had TWave as first, in order to spread the para-status together with Magearna, but then i noticed Groudon was really dangerous and then I put Toxic+Hex in order to stop even the Sword Dance set safely.
This isn't the only team that allowed me to enter the Top 25, but it's the one I used more than the others and that allowed me to peak 1655 in the last match I played.
