Imagine 100 of these walking down your street
Towns Folk
So, I came up with a Strategy that involves these 2 pokemon:

Spinda@Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
252 HP/252 Spe/4Def
Contrary
-Skill Swap
-Rapid Spin
-Icy Wind
-Confuse Ray

So, the idea is to Skill Swap Contrary to an ally pokemon with stat hindering moves. The other 3 moves are fillers that mostly support the team.

A good example to use as an ally would be the following Victini

Victini@Leftovers(?)
Naive Nature
152 Atk/104 Sp.Atk/252 Spe
Victory Star
-V-Create
-Overheat
-Stored Power
-Bolt strike

V create is basically a nuke which increases your Def, Sp.Def and Speed after you acquire Contrary. Overheat is a terryfying 140 base STAB attack which gives you a +2 to Sp. Atk. Stored Power, backed up by all the stat boosts and STAB has tremendous Power. Bolt Strike is for coverage.

I have noticed that this set is not fond of fake out, so I would also suggest to use it in Triples along with a Quick guard user, such us Male Meowstic.

So, what do you think? :)
 
Haha that would be awesome but the only flaw in your plan is that Spinda is a very weak Pokemon that is rarely used used and used only for it's gigantic moveset. You could get the Contrary Sepridor except that it can't learn skill swap XD. I might try this out though!
