Ok, so I suck at making OPs, but here's the guidelines courtesy of ginganinja in OU:
Standard and common sets are generally effective. After all, that's why they're common and standard. But sometimes a less-common set can be effective. In fact, brand-new sets can be quite effective as well. This thread is for new and creative movesets that can be quite effective, as well as old movesets that have fallen out of favor but have become quite effective in the UU metagame.
What is a new and creative, good moveset?
What is an underrated, good moveset?
What are some things that constitute a shitty gimmick?
Do not post really bad sets such as Choice Band Quagsire - they aren't funny or good.
But yeah, just read the post from ginganinja and post your cool (good) movesets:]!

What is a new and creative, good moveset?
- It successfully pulls off a role, and is not strictly outclassed by others.
- It takes advantage of metagame trends.
- It has had some success. Post replays / logs to strengthen your case.
What is an underrated, good moveset?
- It is an existing set that for whatever reason isn't common.
- Its use is meant to prey on specific facets of the metagame.
- It might be able to surprise and demolish Pokemon that normally counter the usual sets, but does not become a gimmick in order to do so.
What are some things that constitute a shitty gimmick?
- Using a Pokemon that has no business being used in UU, for the sake of using it in UU.
- Movesets that are inferior and ineffective compared to existing movesets, or use an obscure move for the sake of hitting an even more obscure check or counter.
- Movesets that are utterly impractacle or are horribly outclassed by another Pokemon.
- This is an UU thread. Don't post some Lugia set.
