In this thread post your favorite strategies in the Gen 5 OU environment. Be sure to be as descriptive as you can when describing that strategy. If it's a combo of many Pokemon, then be sure to notify that.
Here's an example:
Tentacruel + Gliscor Stall:

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 SDef
- Scald
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
- Sludge Bomb

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spd
- Protect
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
Alright, the idea of this combo is for you to set up Toxic Spikes with Tentacruel first. If the opponent's Pokemon resists Toxic Spikes, like a Steel or Flying or Levitating Pokemon, then you can use Scald and try to get a burn. If not burn, then you can also go for Sludge Bomb to Poison the Flying/Levitating Pokemon. Use Team Preview as an advantage; once you know your opponent's team you can play around it. When you have set up your Toxic Spikes, you can then send in Gliscor. With Toxic Orb and Poison Heal, Gliscor is able to stall all day with Substitute and Protect. Once you're under a Substitute, your opponent cannot defeat your Gliscor when you have Protect as well. You can stall for ages with Substitute and Protect, and this works best when you have Toxic Spikes up as you can just watch all your opponent's Pokemon die through Toxic damage as you're safe under Substitute and Protect. You can also remove your opponent's item with Knock Off, so you can throw that Leftovers or Choice or whatever item your opponent has. This strategy can be very annoying to deal with for anyone. As well as Gliscor and Tentacruel having mostly all threatening attacks covered, as Tentacruel can take those Ice or Water attacks that hurt Gliscor, and Gliscor can take those Ground attacks that hurt Tentacruel. You can also try this strategy under Sandstorm for extra Sandstorm damage while Gliscor is under Sandstorm and Substitute + Protect. Have fun using this strategy.
