Metagross
This is because of it's epic offensive move-set possibilities:
STAB Meteor Mash
STAB Bullet Punch
STAB Zen Headbutt
Earthquake
Hammer Arm / Brick Break
Iron Head : That cool 30% Flinch rate though :')
The elemental punches: Ice Punch, Fire Punch and Thunder Punch: Great for coverage, decent power. (From my answer here.)

Beedrill
An under-rated mega evolution, Mega Beedrill can really tear through some unprepared teams with that typing, getting a STAB move to counter the plethora of Dark, Psychic and Fairy type Pokemon dominating the meta-game (Not the Battle Maison that you need it for, but still a useful check).
Beedrill (F) @ Beedrillite
Adaptability - Great Ability that makes STAB moves 2x effective, as opposed to 1.5x

Lopunny
Once Mega-evolved, this thing is an absolute beast. In fact, I got sweeped twice because I was unprepared.

Gallade
This cool Pokemon that stole hearts since its debut in Sinnoh, and gave a reason for Male Kirlia to exist, was finally recognised with an Evolution that boasts of 165 attack with 110 speed. Couple that with an excellent movepool, and you've got one hell of a sweeper!
