Answer 2

Role: Mixed Sweeper / Revenge Killer

Deino (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 236 Atk / 212 Spe
Naive Nature
- Crunch
- Head Smash
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Fang

Hustle makes anything physical's accuracy drop by 20% , but it gets a 50% Power boost.
Status and Special moves don't deal with this, making mixed fairly nice.

Crunch - STAB and The accuracy drop takes you down to 80% although you're gaining a 120 power move, not including that STAB boost.

Head Smash - 60% Accuracy? Well, this is goodbye.
It will become a crazy powered Suicide Move, with insanely risky Accuracy, Sign me up.

Draco Meteor - No Hustle boost? 140 power STAB move, that will have 90% Accuracy, which becomes more than anything else on the set, This is your main revenge killing move.

Fire Fang - Dictatorship over the Steel types.

Comments

Wouldn't Flamethrower or Fire Fang be better Coverage against Ice types? Head Smash won't be very reliable against those... I was about to bulky Ice Types.

Never mind.

But why Frustration instead of a better coverage move?

Answer 3

Deino currently sucks in LC. If you're really considering using Deino, then use Scraggy or Pawniard instead.
Deino @ choice scarf
Ability: hustle
EVs: 20 HP / 236 Atk / 36 SpD / 212 Spe
Jolly nature
- outrage
- crunch
- superpower
- zen headbutt
Outrage is its best STAB attack, and the other 3 moves cover stuff. The ability, item, and EV spread maximize physical attack and speed.
