Gallade @ Maranga Berry
Ability: Steadfast
Level: 52
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 54 SpD
Impish Nature

This actually does very well on battle spot and absolutely sideways fuckes the battle tree.

Verlis shitter not welcome.

Not in SM

This set actually has more bulk than mega gallade with the berry.

It looks weird on paper but has good results, that's why it's a gimick. We don't get a lot of our old megastones so it's good to be creative. This set isn't anywhere near the level of shit that furfag makes.

True, I can at least see some situations where a bulky Gallade might be useful. Unlike fury cutter Venusaur.

I have limited experience using Gallade, but doesn't he suffer more widespread threats on the physical side?

What special hits is he tanking where the berry really makes a difference?

Well if you really want more physical bulk you could replace the Maranga Berry with leftovers or kee berry.

The idea of this set is to send it in on a resisted special hit, grab the buff from the berry then either set up a bulk up or recover your hp with drain punch. If you can play around it properly you can get +3 with bulk up and the berry in one turn making it a huge threat that can soak up hits. Steadfast is there incase a month try to use fake out in which you get a speed buff.

Here's a replay of this gallade in the battle tree, I know it doesn't mean much because it's not competitive but it showcases it's bulk.

Here's another good gimick set for hydreigon.

Hydreigon @ Razor Claw
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 28 HP / 52 Def / 252 SpD / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Roost
- Focus Energy

Works similar to kinda but with more bulk.

Corsola (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Lax Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 SpD
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Power Gem
- Mirror Coat

My mucho autistic corsola set
Works pretty well, nobody expects the mirror coat since noone uses corsola and it takes physical hits pretty well

I usually send this thing out first. stealth rocking if its a physical threat or mirrorcoating if special
If its brought down to it's sash i can switch and use it later. Scald helps it even more with physical attackers, and power gem cause fuck birds and charizard

This set looks pretty good, but why power jem over toxic? It looks like it's set up to be an annoyer/pivot?

Yeah thats pretty much what it is, Didn't really feel putting toxic on it because I like having the burn chance with scald but also I had another pokemon on my team for toxic so didnt feel necessary

I was back and forth on running will-o-wisp on the set I posted in the OP, this is one of those situations where 4-moveslot syndrome is a factor.

I received it from a trade on Smogon during gen 4. It was great to use in wi-fi battles on PBR.

Fair enough, I was thinking toxic would be better for the chance you run into shit like alomomola or another wall/pivot like chansey.
