Flashworks
Hey, Seevea/Dread Arceus here with my first RMT of Gen 6 (before you hit the back button, the only reason it's just now getting put up is because I'm a procrastinator =P). Lemme introduce you to Flashworks, my partial VoltTurn offensive team.
The Team
What would a Gen 6 team be without at least 1 broken mon? Well, this team makes full use of as many as possible while maintaining synergy. Mega Lucario is a huge threat right now, with only a few things in the game capable of checking it at +2. He's my main sweeper, and even if he fails to sweep, he punches sizable holes in the enemy team. The ability, EVs, and nature are pretty straightforward. The moveset optimizes coverage in exchange for priority (though Vacuum Wave still works fairly well in place of Aura Sphere). Luka (Lucario) (M) @ Lucarionite
Ability: Steadfast
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd

Gen 6 brought Azumarill that glorious Fairy typing, increasing both its defensive and offensive capabilities. Azumarill does a couple of things. First, its checked by the same things as Mega Lucario: meaning they have to switch in to a Azumarill and take a Play Rough to the face. Second, it beats Heatran and Fighting types, both of which would normally give Mega Lucario some trouble. I use Sea Incense because I prefer to make full use of Azumarill's coverage, and I can also get some surprise kills on Heatran. EVs max out Attack and bulk (HP is odd numbered), while giving it a bit of speed creep on other Azumarills. The moveset is pretty straightforward.Ability: Steadfast

Here we go, broken mon number 2. This is the standard Genesect Scarf set, and it does a lot of things. It can pivot, revenge kill, sweep, and given its pretty typing, it can even switch in to attacks. The EVs and item are standard, though my moveset is a little odd. I choose Energy Ball over Thunderbolt because 1. I already have Electric STAB on Zapdos and 2. Quag and Gastro are unbreakable otherwise. Ability: Huge Power

Torandus-T may have fallen from its former Hurricane glory, but its ability to U-turn with Regenerator is still a really useful combination. Torn acts as another pivot, a way to beat Mega Venusaur, and a serious pain in the ass to stall teams. The EVs minimize SR damage, and allow Torn to pivot more slowly than other Torandus-Ts I may find (it still outspeeds base max Speed 120s), and the rest goes in to attack. The moveset is designed mainly to harass stall mons, pivot out, and do it again. Ability: Pressure

Tyranitar is my usual lead. He puts up Stealth Rock, and can come in and do it again as many times as necessary. He is also here to beat Talonflame and put pressure on Flying and Psychic type mons. He also has awesome synergy with Azumarill, who tanks Fighting and Water moves very well. The EVs let it really freaking hard with maxed Atk. The HP is a Leftovers number, and the rest goes in to Defense. The moveset lets it hit have awesome coverage while being able to lay down rocks and Pursuit trap.Ability: Regenerator

Mega Lucario: Mainly, because I couldn't think of anything and "Luka" sounded nice =3
Azumarill: Zuzu is a reference to Ruby's Swampert in Pokemon Adventures.
Genesect: If you don't know who Excision is and you like dubstep, I'd suggest looking them up.
Zapdos: Alice was the name I gave my first Zapdos is Pokemon Yellow when I was but a wee lad.
Torandus-T: Cavasos is the name of my Sgt Major: The Sgt Major of the White Falcons (ehehe).
Tyranitar: Nightstone just has to do with his typing, plus I figured an angsty name went well with an angsty mon XD.
