Yeah people you're supposed to list 4 moves. "Filler" or any word/phrase that's not an actual move shouldn't be in the moveset. And only 4 moves per poke.

Anyway:

Rash Nature

- Volt Switch
- Aura Sphere
- Hidden Power Ice

+1 0 SpA Slowbro Scald vs. 4 HP / 0- SpD Raikou: 144-171 (44.7 - 53.1%) -- 28.1% chance to 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Raikou Thunderbolt vs. +1 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro: 356-420 (90.3 - 106.5%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
 
I hope I'm doing this correctly, here goes:

Mamoswine@Assault Vest
Thick Fat
Adamant
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Sp. Def
Ice Shard
Earthquake
Icicle Crash
Superpower

After the Sp. Atk loss from using Draco Meteor on top of his Assault Vest and Thick Fat, not even a Fire Blast could take down Mamo. Icicle Crash should do the trick and Ice Shard if necessary to finish the job.
 
Scrafty @ Leftovers
Shed Skin
Adamant
4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Def/ 248 Sp Def

Knock Off
Zen Headbutt
Crunch
Fire Punch

252+ Atk Scrafty Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 8 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 408-482 (155.1 - 183.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ Atk Scrafty Crunch vs. 8 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 338-398 (128.5 - 151.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ Atk Scrafty Zen Headbutt vs. 8 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 226-266 (85.9 - 101.1%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

252+ Atk Scrafty Fire Punch vs. 8 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 106-125 (40.3 - 47.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery

248 SpA Gengar Sludge Wave vs. 4 HP / 248 SpD Scrafty: 112-133 (41.1 - 48.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

248 SpA Gengar Hex (65 BP) vs. 4 HP / 248 SpD Scrafty: 38-45 (13.9 - 16.5%) -- possibly the worst move ever

One knock off and it's over. One crunch and it's over. One zen heabutt can do the job, but probably won't. The best gengar can hope for is that one of his status effects stays on scrafty, but that's unreliable due to shed skin.
