Well, I use Venomoth and Articuno, if that counts. Roar Articuno + Stealth Rock Swampert is a great typing arrangement, especially if you have a rapid spinner around.

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Is there a pokemon on your team that makes your team different?
- Thread starter xBLUEx
- Start date
I remember fighting your team, but I was using a different name.
Raikou @ Leftovers / Shed Bell
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 104HP / 196SpAtk / 56SpDef / 152Spd
Timid nature(+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- HP [Ice]
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
I use this in conjunction with CM passing Celery, works exceptionally well with about 2~3 CM boosts. =)

I don't really have a pokemon that makes my team different, but I do have some pretty cool themes. Like a new with pokemon in the color of the rainbow, (Blaziken, Shiny Linoone, Zapdos, Gallade, Vaporeon, Gliscor) and an all blue hail team. I'm thinking of making a red team next. Maybe a trick room red team? Or a UU one...
I use a Choice Specs Milotic on my team that is working fucking amazing!
Milotic@Choice Specs
Modest
252 Sp Atk / 88 defense / 160 hp
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power [Electric]
-Surf
Yeah i know 2 water moves. its saved my ass to have both though millionsof times. Hydro pump is obviously my core attack. i cant put calcs right now (im on a wii) but Hydro Pump OHKOs SO many standard switchins its not even funny! Surf saves my ass when im late game and cant risk missing and the suprise is over. I really dont have any kind of luck so i really need a reliable move aswell. ice for grassers and hp for waters.
i have over 30 movesets really out there on a lot of pokes and thus my teams always pack a suprise different thing! I pack OU, BL, UU, and even NU to have lots of success. id recomend trying a specs/band on a wall-ish poke (not on something gimickly-weak) and you will see some awesome results!

Well I used to use Choice Scarf Delcatty as a lead on one of my shoddy teams, Normalized T-Wave says hi to Garchomp. Oh and I used Choice Specs Phione (yes Phione) on my rain dance team but there was no cure for the mediocrity of all base 80s and no movepool.
manetric and pikachu
On Pearl I got a Pikachu on my team.
On me new Diamond I'm training a Electrike.

I use a Special Sweeping Ninetales... in fact, how many Ninetales do you see in general?
Ninetales @ Life Orb
Timid
88 HP/ 252 Sp. Attack/ 168 Speed
Flamethrower
Energy Ball
Nasty Plot
HP Ice
Lack of hypnosis is because normally Roserade induces sleep, and with Flash fire Ninetales can just switch into some fire-types, take the boost, and nasty plot as they switch. Flamethrower and energy ball I'm sure are self-explanatory. And HP Ice is for all those OU dragons. With 305 speed, it can outspeed adamant versions that do not have a Choice Scarf.

I use Tauros a lot too, alongside Magnezone. One poke that I never, ever see in OU is Regice. I know the (very, very big) problems that she haves, and Stealth Rock doesn't help, but I like use her to paralise stuff, explode, anyway, i like Regice a lot. Feraligatr, Mesprit and Roserade deserves some merit too.
I use UU stuff in higher tiers too, like Swellow and Absol sometimes. Absol is pretty fun with Sucker Punch, Swords Dance and Super Luck.
EDIT: Add pokes

Considering I just made a team based around movesets I pulled out of my ass this should be easy.
I love to use Toxicroak because it's a beast.
I have a Blissey that knows Defense Curl and Focus Blast.
I use Reversal Heracross (not that unusual I suppose).
I have a Dusknoir with Torment, Shadow Sneak, Pain Split, and Brick Break.
I use Mesprit because CalmBoltBeam is just too awesome.
I use Specs Houndoom.
I use Pseudo-BoltBeam Zangoose.
I use Ursaring on a Trick Room team.
I use Scarf Gar.
That's about the most unusual stuff I can think of at the moment. I'll think of something later.

I'm about to put a mismagius like this in my team
mismagius@leftovers
nature: timid
evs: 116hp/140spatk/252spd
-calm mind
-shadow ball
-hp[fighting]/thunderbolt/energy ball
-substitute
Its not seen so often so I think it will be unexpected.
And tenta is going to be on my team too, maybe, but he's seen more.

Starter in BL and lower
Quite fun
Absol
@Focus Sash
Super Luck

--Sucker Punch
--Swords Dance
--Night Slash
252Atk/252Spd
Regigigas @Leftovers
Adamant
252/0/130/0/128/0
Ice Punch
EQ
Confuse Ray
TWave
Throw him out, wreck stuff up with statuses, force switches. He doesn't sweep all too often, but dishes out some hurt and he's a pain to deal with. His ata still reaches almost 400 even without any EV investment and defenses/HP are 110/110/110, which is well over 400 HP and defenses around 280 after EV's.

I know it is, but I don't see it often, as in the pokemon not the set.
I use Hitmontop on pretty much every team I make. I love the little guy, he never fails to spin away the rocks that make my Dragonite cry. I've used a bunch of different EV spreads and movesets for him - bulky Bulk Up attacker, bulky supporter/spinner, Choice Bander, Agility sweeper... Practically everything but Choice Specs.
I also have an Agility passer Blaziken on one of the teams I made over the summer. The now-extinct Curse Walrein was also on that team.

I had Payback on my Dusknoir for a while, which worked out well seeing how slow it is. Now it has Ice Punch, so the people who fought me before when I used Dusknoir will be so surprised when their precious Salamences and Garchomps die from Ice Punch instead of Payback...
Aside from that, I used Hitmontop, Glaceon, I'm planning on using a Bellossom and Jumpluff on a Sunny Day team, Pikachu, a surfing Raichu, Sneasel (just for the lulz), Mr. Mime, Shuckle, a Leafeon I evolved too soon (which is why it lacks Baton Pass), and some other cool stuff like that. They all served me well in one way or another. I made the Leafeon a physical sweeper, because that's something it does well aside from Baton Passing Swords Dances.
I like using Pokemon that nobody would probably even think about using in OU battles.
...Hitmontop is awesome at taking Weavile down.
