ITT: Non OU Pokemon that wreck the shit out of the opponent.

Crawdaunt
Adaptability
Focus sash/Lifeorb
252atk;252spe;4hp
DragonDance
Knockoff
Waterfall or Crabhammer if you like risks
Aquajet

This set is just hilarious, nobody expects DragonDance on Crawdaunt which provides an easy setup most of the time.
Once you DD you can easyly sweep the opponents team thanks to 2x stab Waterfall or Crabhammer (got buffed to 100BP/90AC and high crit chance).
Thanks to knockoff it gives a shit about walls.
Aquajet is for Chicken that tries to protect and outspeed you/other very fast threats.

Although gems are currently banned on Smogon I used it a little bit before they placed the ban. Needless to say, it wrecks.

>banned
They aren't banned. They don't legally exist yet. There's a difference.

My recent favorite:

Shuckle @ Sitrus Berry

Stealth Rock
Sticky Web
Encore
Knock Off

Best Sticky Web setter. Nothing can set up on it unless it has Taunt, and if they get Encored, you get a free switch to your sweeper. NOTHING WHATSOEVER can OHKO this. Greninja's LO Hydro Pump for example, only does about 70%.

I was surprised how well what I thought would be a gimmick, worked.

I wrote this on Smogon :^)
I've recently started using a physically defensive Bouffalant with great success:

Bouffalant @ Life Orb
Ability: Reckless
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Head Charge
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge

I never see anyone talk about Bouffalant, even in the lower tiers, and after using this set, I honestly have no idea why. While its most powerful attack is less efficient in a metagame where ghosts are quite common, it doesn't stop it from having a huge offensive presence, thanks to its unresisted coverage. It also works as a great pivot thanks to its defensive typing and physical bulk.
As an example of all the former statements, you can see that this set can take a LO Sacred Sword from Aegislash:
252+ Atk Life Orb Aegislash-Blade Sacred Sword vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Bouffalant: 255-302 (76.8 - 90.9%)
...and retaliate with a OHKO EQ:
252 Atk Life Orb Bouffalant Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Aegislash-Blade: 299-354 (114.1 - 135.1%)

Now, Bouffalant is by no means a perfect Pokemon since it can be stopped by a few common threats, such as Air Balloon Aegislash, and it'll eventually KO itself due to all the residual damage, but the amount of work it can do without team support is simply impressive. I think the perfect way to describe it is: It's kind of like an invisible truck. It hits hard and most people won't see it coming.

I'll leave this replay here, since it does a great job at showcasing Bouffalant's potential, IMO:

The ability is of course Gluttony, which works great with the berry, which due to Shuckle's low HP will restore a huge percentage of it.

No idea, just threw that as an example. I'm sure most people run Air Balloon, in which can Bouff is fucked unless you run Wild Charge.

Quoted By:

Mienshao@Choice Band
Reckless
252atk/252spe/4 whatever
High Jump Kick
Stone Edge
U-Turn
Poison Jab

The idea is to kill KILL KILL
Poison Jab ohko's most fairies who incidentally are also pretty slow so you outspeed them
Use U-Turn when you're not sure what the opponent is going to do.
Use HJK when they don't have any ghosts left or you know they're not running protect, this shit OHKOs everything that's not defensively invested or 4x resists it
Stone Edge for birds or some shit idk, never really use it
Swept my way to 1800 on showdown in OU with this bugger
Hazard/Screen support just boosts the awesomeness

Bouffalant was my bro on my first Black run, I was quite impressed by it. It seems like it can be very good this gen.
