A predecessor to the Turd Buster 5000 (not really).

Essentially, this team was made with destroying weather set ups in mind, and clears away weather reliant sweepers, like Excadrill, Kabutops, Kingdra, etc.

So my weather threats are:
imageimageimageimage/image (kinda)

With Kyogre in mind, I chose Zekrom. It'll clear away Giratina and Lugia as well, taking down two common walls. Choice Band to maximise attack, and Fusion Bolt because I dislike low accuracy moves.

Kyurem-W will clear Groudon, Hippowdon and Abomasnow, being able to outspeed all three and use a STAB Ice move for the former two, and Fusion Flare for the last. Unique typing means Ice will be x1 and it'll be able to take at least 1 Ice hit. I didn't go with a Water type to clear Groudon because of obvious reasons.

Lastly comes Keldeo to clear T-Tar, where one STAB Secret Sword will end it, even with Sandstorm boosting T-Tar's Sp. Def. Keldeo's also Scarfed in order to outspeed threats like Darkrai & Terrakion.

No idea what else to put for Zekrom's last slot, so I put Crunch just for some minor coverage.

I needed a wall. I sought Lugia. The end.

So with 2 Dragon weaknesses, I needed a bulky Steel type to deal with all the Draco Meteors. I thought about Forretress in order to double as a spinner, but even with max EVs in Sp. Def, it doesn't hold up too well.

Lastly, I needed some Rapid Spin support. Excadrill is there to clear hazards and abuse Sandstorm with Sand Rush.

You can try a Naive Nature and run Volt Switch > Crunch on Zekrom. Crunch wont usually be doing more damage than an Outrage anyways. And scouting is always nice.
I wanted to do exactly that & run Volt Switch, but Zekrom isn't fast enough to scout with Choice Band. D:
It doesn't need to be fast to use Volt Switch...
Yea but as a scout I don't want it to take damage; I usually put Volt Switch on Scarfed Pokemon like Rotom or Galvantula.
Choice band fusion bolt wil OHKO lugia. Maybe you should consider it:

↑I don't believe that Answer applied it's Multiscale.

The DB League awaits your challenge Fondant!
Tis Multiscale. Lugia CAN get OHKO'd.
