Best answer

Forretress @ Leftovers
enter image description here
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: Relaxed (+Def, -Spe)

  • Stealth Rock
  • Spikes/Toxic Spikes
  • Rapid Spin
  • Gyro Ball/Earthquake

Forretress is a popular lead, setting up Spikes and/or Stealth Rock, also a great Pokemon by spinning away hazards. Sometimes Forretress isn't used first, though.

Deoxys-D @ Leftovers
enter image description here
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid (+Atk, -Spe)

  • Taunt
  • Stealth Rock
  • Night Shade
  • Recover

I like this one as a lead because most people won't suspect a Taunt coming.

Genesect @ Choice Scarf
enter image description here
Trait: Download
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Mild (+SpA, -Def)

  • U-Turn
  • Thunderbolt
  • Flamethrower
  • Ice Beam

Basic popular Genesect set. With many different type of moves to choose form, it's a great lead.

Politoed @ Leftovers
enter image description here
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)

  • Scald/Surf
  • Perish Song/Toxic
  • Ice Beam
  • Encore

Politoed has many different movesets, this is just a general idea.
Since my favorite weather is Rain, I did Politoed. But depending on your weather, you would do different Pokemon.
Sand: Hippowdown / Tyranitar
Sun: Ninetails
Hail: Abomasnow

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
enter image description here
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 236 HP / 212 SpD / 60 Spe
Nature: Careful (+SpD, -SpA)

  • Spore
  • Bulk Up
  • Seed Bomb
  • Drain Punch

This set is pretty good, countering Politoed's and Sporing other opponents. Then proceed to Bulk Up.

These are just some leads, if you want more, please comment and I will add some more.
