I'd like to point out a mon that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

Numel @ Life Orb/Leftovers
60/132/88/143/99/77
Ability: Simple
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Growth
- Flame Charge
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power

With Sun support, it can rip through a fair amount of things.
Some calcs against the above defensive mons:
Without Sun Support:
+2 252 SpA Numel Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 306-360 (100.9 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 SpA Numel Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 92 SpD Assault Vest Muk-Alola: 320-380 (77.4 - 92%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

With Sun Support:
+4 4 Atk Numel Flame Charge vs. 244 HP / 252+ Def Chansey in Sun: 577-679 (82.1 - 96.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+4 252 SpA Numel Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Water Bubble Araquanid in Sun: 340-402 (100 - 118.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+4 252 SpA Numel Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Mantine in Sun: 258-303 (68.9 - 81%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
 
This thread seems dead, so let me show off a controversial threat:


Riolu @ Focus Sash / Quick Claw
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Roar
- Copycat
- Circle Throw
- Shadow Claw

Decently strong output, and not a bad speed tier. But that's not even the main attraction. The main attrition is the attraction. +1 priority Circle Throw/Roar is an insane boon to hazard stacking teams like HO. The only thing that can outspeed it is fast Prankster users such as Whimsicott or Liepard. An actual offensive threat, somehow, with only two offensive moves.

Hope the thread becomes active soon! OMotM or LCotM next month, hopefully!

I think you're forgetting a change that happened since gen6... "You are no longer able to get a +1 priority Roar/Circle Throw(or any phazing move) using Prankster Copycat."
