Spoiler:
Mega Pidgeot and Garchomp form a good core that beats a large portion of the OU metagame.
Thundurus is here to destroy Lati@s, bulky waters and stop sweepers.
Celebi and Excadrill support the team with Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin.
Talonflame is the mid-game sweeper of the team, as well as a great lure to Rotom-W and Mega Gyarados, which otherwise are huge threats to this team.

Spoiler:
Kind of a different take with a bulky team, Garchomp plus the FWG defensive core is there to take on a lot of the metagame. Slowbro was the first added since the core we were given doesn't like switching into Keldeo and is outright beaten by Charizard-X at +1. From there Tangrowth and Heatran were added to check other big threats in the game like Clefable, Gyarados, Bisharp, etc. Heatran is also nice for potentially allowing me to chip Rotom-W with burn or toxic so that Pidgeot can do more damage, same with Slowbro. I chose the Work Up set on Pidgeot, with enough speed for Tornadus-T as it's a cool balance breaker right now. CM Landorus was added as the teams final member and stallbreaker, it acts as an auxiliary to Pidgeot by weakening Rotom-W and taking advantage of Pokemon like Tyranitar that Pidgeot can't beat.

EDIT: I apologize for my insensitivity. I have decided to include a TRIGGER WARNING for users Archer99 and static. I'm happy to have a prayer circle with you guys or something.
LET'S GET TO IT:
Pidgeot @ Pidgeotite
Ability: Big Pecks
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- U-turn
- Roost
wow, shout-outs to mega pidgeot. some call him bird Jesus, but i think most of u know him as ur worst nightmare. bow down to the lord himself, for only one mega pokemon is worthy of our lord and savior's name, and here he is in all his glory. just click hurricane the rest doesn't matter. i would have gone with work up or something but hey, i just took this straight out of the mega pidgeot all-stars. have you ever heard the saying "if it aint broke don't fix it"? bingo welcome to this pidgeot set. i even have uturn for #momentum even though hurricane is all the momentum you need, especially when you bs through someone with the confusion chance LOL. truly a legend pokemon, few trainers exhibit the mastery needed to click its stab move and bulldoze through the various hyper offense builds on our server that don't prep for it despite its majesty. i love you mega pidgeot, even more thank drunk gloom.
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Blast
decided to go really aggressive with the chomp to get some early damage. it blows the doors down on clefable:
252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 160 Def Clefable: 226-266 (57.3 - 67.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
i've had trouble with the last moveslot. swords dance puts a ton of pressure on the opponent and can break down defensive cores (a lot of slow builds built around stopping stuff like m-meta aren't super well equipped to take lo sd boosted stab attacks) but fire blast has more utility against hazard-setting steel-types and chesnaught. without spin/defog support, i opted for the latter.
Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Hydro Pump
- Icy Wind
simply amazing offensive synergy with pidgeot, even though it opens up the manectric weakness a bit. tyranitar and heatran want nothing to do with this thing and it can easily weaken rotom-w into pidgeot kill range. it also puts pressure on chansey. i can't say i'm thrilled that this is my main stall breaker but hey, with bisharp and chomp/pidg it can tag-team some stuff. went for specs because the immediate power is rly nice and having used submind a lot, i feel like the metagame has adapted to it pretty well and its inability to hit hard until boosted can make it a liability in certain match-ups. :/
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Soft-Boiled
idk wtf this is tbh but i use clef on like, all of my teams lol. i opted for a bit of a glue build here where it acts as a decent stop to physical attackers. was insanely talon weak and this lures it well, though tbolt's utility is pretty barren outside of that. status absorption is rly nice and can at least absorb non choice locked volt switches without dying in three seconds. :(
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 220 SpD / 36 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder Wave
- Giga Drain
- Nasty Plot
- Recover
eh these last two slots suck and i'll change them if i have time, but i noticed weaknesses to diancie/m-bro/manaphy (really the usual suspects for the types of teams i like running) and also needed another ground immune/resist so i tossed this guy on. thunder wave is as an emergency stop against a few things i'm pretty poorly prepared for (can maim a torn-t or m-meta or w/e) though idk i might go with a nastypass since keld and pidg would love that!
Bisharp @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Swords Dance
mostly just here to provide added offensive pressure vs. stall/semistall while acting as further protection from the latis. also checks clefable who i am pretty weak to haha. i'll make these last couple slots more efficient if i don't run out of time.
____________________________________
but let's be real. you're not here to see some bulky offense squad i threw together. i have better entries for this competition.
for the uu ladder race, i made some insanely stall weak voltturn (literally no wallbreakers LOL) that went 15-0 before i stopped playing since i had locked up the #1 seed. (btw will get around to my match vs. elf in that eventually LOL #kingjohn) anyway, once raikou and jirachi rose to ou i needed a new squad. turns out this is a terrible uu team but it has revolutionized the ou metagame with innovations like "anti as its user" and "mega pidgeot." so BEHOLD THE MEGA PIDGEOT ALL-STARS:
Slurpuff @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 44 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 208 Spe

mega pidgeot is awesome. the rest doesn't matter.
no garchomp? yeah whatever pidg has beaten too many of those to care for your petty restrictions.
don't believe me? as per the request in the op, i shall provide replays exhibiting this team's greatness:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-137350: idk what i was doin on t1 LOL but it all worked out, sun/sand core? pffft np
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-145327: another weatherman gets the forecast wrong vs. pidg master
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ubers-149765: april fools
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-150921: pidgeot cares not for ur thunderbolts LOL
plus like 7459836 replays vs. oddEEsh but hey who's counting :oddish:
