Meet STABMons Metagross without Heavy Slam (Which you could run if you want, but Shift Gear seems better). This basically sets up Shift Gear and beats you. It's pretty priority resistant (It has a huge defense stat at 150, with a decent 80 HP). This allows it to easily absorb the ability that comes its way (Extreme Speed, even if -ated, Bullet Punch, Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Gale Wings Brave Bird) It is weak to Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch, but only Sucker Punch is really a threat as there are no good Shadow Sneak users. It performs basically the same as in OU, but it basically destroys offense if it gets a boost, excluding priority status. It's even a pretty decent check to the Boomburst mega's and some other common things! Watch out as this thing will be wrecking you until it gets suspected.
This is the only really notable set I've thought of for now, and I'll be using it on my new team. If you want feel free to challenge me for a battle, though I gotta finish my team first. Other cool things could be Fire Fang Sharpedo Mega, Spore quick Mega's, and Explosion on Pinsir Mega could act like a great nuke, though Extreme Speed will usually be better. Finally Sableye and Slowbro get options like Parting Shot, Topsy Turvy, Stealth Rock and Will o Wisp in Slowbro's case.
