Why level 5 and not something like level 1? Anyway, Magnemite can already run that set in vanilla Pokemon, and probably has better typing for it (because it's immune to to poison).

I just did a battle with The Immortal and I can conclude Simple Smeargle is pretty insane, he can give a double Shell Smash to any Pokemon that has a way of beating Wonder Guards and it's a pretty easy win, this is what I run.
Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Ability: Simple
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Shell Smash
- Spore
- Baton Pass
- Magic Coat
Shaymin @ White Herb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Worry Seed
- Seed Flare
- Earth Power
- Psychic
Smeargle does the obvious easy passing which is hard to prevent, if you predict a taunt use Magic Coat, otherwise use Shell Smash or Spore (Don't use Spore if the opponent has the M of Magic Bounce), afterwards pass to Shaymin who ignores the drops with White Herb, hits most Wonder Guards in Earth Power/Psychic/Seed Flare and has Worry Seed for those it can't hit. It has pretty decent bulk as well to survive most priority and it can easily take a hit after the Baton Pass. Sheer Force just makes it even stronger than it would already be as it boosts all three moves. Eventually at +4 Seed Flare will destroy anything that doesn't resist it and the coverage takes care of the rest.
TL;DR Smeargle + Sweeper destroys everyone who isn't prepared (Sash, lots of priority, Scarf igglybuff)

Also Genesect since best ability is Guts which certainly isn't anything comparable to Download. Lucarionite too, although Levitate is kinda cool.
Ninetales @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Def
Timid Nature
IVs: NaN Atk
- Inferno
- Energy Ball
- Nasty Plot
- Extrasensory
Noivern @ Life Orb
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
Naive Nature
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Draco Meteor
- U-turn
This is what I could scavenge for no guarders. Much disappoint.
Nosepass @ Choice Specs
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Zap Cannon
- Power Gem
- Volt Switch
- Dazzling Gleam
Get hyped

Alright hello people :)
In light of recent developments, Blaziken, Blazikenite, Gengarite, Kangaskhanite, Lucarionite and Genesect are unbanned. However, to balance out the meta, you may only have one of each ability at most on your team. This does mean, of course, that you *could* have Teravolt, Turboblaze and Mold Breaker if you wanted to x_x

I just realized that no one has ever talked about KLUTZ SKILL SWAP KADABRA (or Kecleon)
Kit Kasai
Love colored magic
That's because skill swap normalize gengar exists.
Knock off is better than klutz :/
Didn't realized that Gengar started with letter N or that Knock Off was an ability.
And to make matters even more pointless, Kadabra can learn Knock Off. Don't know how bad you really want to do it though...
How about sand stream shuckle? It boosts it's special defense and gives extra passive damage. How about:
Shuckle
252HP
252Def
4SpD
Bold/Impish nature
Sand Stream
Leftovers
Power split/sticky web
Rest
Encore/rock slide/sticky web
Toxic/rock slide/sticky web
This set allows shuckle to royally screw the opponent. Power split neuters the opponent's Attack stats while boosting shuckle's. Rest is for healing, encore is to lock an opponent into a set up move, and toxic is for extra passive damage. As for alternatives, sticky web is a great move for slowing down enemies and rock slide should only be used after a power split for a decent STAB attack. The evs maximize his defense since his special defense is boosted in the sand. Unfortunately, it is helplessly walled by steel types.

For Pokemon starting with letters X, Y and Z, why not make them have abilities based on the next letter in their names with an available ability? For example Yanmega would get Adaptability or Aerilate, Zygarde would get Gale Wings (lol), Guts etc.
Or would that make it too complicated?

Me first is always bad
As a wise man once said, "I live in shadows, a ninja! My intricate style will confound and destroy you! Confusion, sleep, poison... Prepare to be the victim of my sinister technique! Fwahahahaha! Pokémon is not merely about brute force--you shall see soon enough!"
[sarcasm="You don't say"] Yes. I have made an exact quote, word for word, without knowing that it is Koga. [/sarcasm]

You mean Koga.
Please say you're trolling there rather than just being stupid.
It's a suicide sand starter. It allows for a sand abuser to come in with 7 turns of sandstorm (assuming you hold a Smooth Rock).
Wow, that is actually kinda brilliant. Lead with a Magic Bouncer to prevent them from setting up SR, then switch to Shedy to set up the sand. Sadly since you can't have more than 1 Pokemon with the same ability, seems kinda wasteful to make your only sand starter a suicide Pokemon.
I was actually trolling but I guess that works lol
I saw people using it in AAA. It doesn't suck as bad as your trolling suggested.
