Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Def / 64 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Draining Kiss

Taunt Pex and Reuniclus and they can't touch you, gliscor can't 2hko even after a SD so you can scald or CM on it

Calcs:
+2 0 Atk Gliscor Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Tapu Fini: 142-168 (41.2 - 48.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Reuniclus Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Tapu Fini: 72-85 (20.9 - 24.7%) -- possible 6HKO after Leftovers recovery
(After 1 calm mind, draining kiss + leftovers heals more than psyshock does)

0 SpA Tapu Fini Scald vs. 244 HP / 192 SpD Gliscor: 168-198 (47.7 - 56.2%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Poison Heal
+1 0 SpA Tapu Fini Scald vs. 244 HP / 192 SpD Gliscor: 252-296 (71.5 - 84%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Poison Heal
 
:Greninja:
Greninja @ Darkinium Z :Darkinium Z:
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory
- Gunk Shot
- Dark Pulse

Protean Greninja with it's exceptional coverage can easily overpower this core by simply spamming moves. Extrasensory is obviously targeting Toxapex, Ice Beam is for Gliscor, and Black Hole Eclipse for Reuniclus. Not much else to the set, I guess some of the moves can be interchangeable like Hydro Pump over Ice Beam or U-turn and Spikes over Gunk Shot. Stealth Rock is appreciated since Toxapex has a chance to survive 2 hits without it.

252 SpA Protean Greninja Extrasensory vs. 252 HP / 152+ SpD Toxapex: 134-162 (44 - 53.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

252 SpA Protean Greninja Ice Beam vs. 244 HP / 192 SpD Gliscor: 508-600 (144.3 - 170.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 SpA Greninja Black Hole Eclipse (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Reuniclus: 510-600 (120.2 - 141.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Hawlucha OHKOs (except Zapdos-Galar) and outspeeds all three core members once the dedicated seed is activated before Swords Dance boosts. Essentially try to setup screens or switch into Heatran so you can setup Swords Dance for Zapdos-Galar.

Fully Offensive Mega scizor :scizor-mega:

No way back (Scizor-Mega) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Sand Tomb
- Knock Off
Spread stolen from ORAS(never played the tier, heard of this set's existence so i stole it)
Modest Heatran gives Mega scizor an oppurtunity to outspeed it, which never runs max speed nowadays. Swords dance on kyurem, if opponent didn't switch to heatran just get to +4 and destroy everything faster than loading for a ladder game in the tier where this spread originates

get a free switch against kyurem

200 SpA Kyurem Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Scizor-Mega: 95-112 (33.6 - 39.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
They click this once they die, as we a second SD if they do that.

+2 252 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch vs. 56 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 476-564 (117.5 - 139.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Irrelevant calc, but just for you to know they can't change the outcome.

+2 252 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Sand Tomb vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 480-568 (148.6 - 175.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
If they instantly switch to tran then they die to sand tomb.

252 Atk Zapdos-Galar Brave Bird vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Scizor-Mega: 144-169 (51 - 59.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+4 252 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Zapdos-Galar: 357-421 (111.2 - 131.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Don't bother trying to pivot, scizor survives and still destroys everything.
and yes i finally got back to submitting because my brain actually worked

Blacephalon @ Choice Scarf

:bw/Volcarona:
Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots :Heavy-Duty Boots:
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 156 Def / 16 SpA / 88 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Roost
- Flamethrower
- Psychic / Hidden Power [Ground]

Volcarona hits both Skarmory and Weavile super-effectively whilst also outspeeding them after a single Quiver Dance. Skarmory isn't too threatening with Sturdy as Body Press does minimal damage. The preferred matchup would to switch into Skarmory instead of Weavile so your Heavy-Duty Boots don't get knocked off but Weavile doesn't OHKO regardless.

:Volcarona: -> :Skarmory:
16 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Skarmory: 342-404 (102.7 - 121.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

:Volcarona: -> :Weavile:
16 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Weavile: 290-344 (103.2 - 122.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

:Skarmory: -> :Volcarona:
164+ Def Skarmory Body Press vs. 248 HP / 156 Def Volcarona: 55-65 (14.7 - 17.4%) -- possible 6HKO

:Weavile: -> :Volcarona:
252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 156 Def Volcarona: 258-304 (69.1 - 81.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
