Standard
Entei @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Ev's: 252 atk / 252 speed / 6 hp
Nature: Adamant ( + Atk - Sp Atk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Fire Fang
- Stone Edge
- Toxic / Reflect

Having Will-O-Wisp on this set make many of its counter Tyranitar, Gyrados, Garchomp, Ryperior and physical Salamence not being able to safely switch in because of burn. Fire fang is their for stab. Stone edge is there so you don't get walled Salamence and Gyrados. The last move is a filler, were toxic is a good option for Milotic and Slobro. Reflect is if Will-O-Wisp accuracy puts you of.


Choice Band
Entei @ Choice Band
Abilty: Pressure
Ev's: 252 atk / 252 speed / 6 hp
Nature: Adamant ( + Atk - Sp Atk) Jolly ( + Speed - Sp Atk)
- Fire Fang
- Stone Edge
- Return
- Iron Tail / Will-O-Wisp

Fire fang and Stone edge are its best moves by far. Fire fang is there if you need stab. Were as stone edge can hit flyers. Return is there so you can hit water. Iron tail is there so you can hit those rocks types, were as Will-O-Wisp could be there to suprise th opponant if they know you've got a Choice band.


Calm Mind
Entei @ Leftovers
Abilty: Pressure
Ev's: 132 Hp / 200 Sp Atk / 176 Speed
Nature: Timid ( + speed - Sp Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Lava Plume / Fire Blast
- Substitute / Reflect
- Hidden Power Ice

With the Hp evs given Entei can last a seismic toss from blisse with 101 substituts. If your not bothered about blissey you could kust go with 252 Sp atk / 252 Speed / 6 Hp. Reflect is there for team support. Lava plume is recomened because of its better accuracy and higher chance to burn but Fire blast can potensionly get the higher damage. Hidden power Ice is there to take out Salamence.


Sunny Day
Entei @ Leftovers
Abilty: Pressure
Ev's: 252 sp Atk / 252 Speed / 6 Hp
Nature: Modest ( + Sp Atk - Atk)
- Sunny Day
- Lave Plume
- Solar Beam
- Hidden Power Fighting / Iron Tail

This is just your basic sunny day set. Hidden power fighting is there if tyranitar comes in and if you don't want that just go with Iron Tail.


Choice Specs
Entei @ Choice Specs
Abilty: Pressure
Ev's: 252 Sp Atk / 252 Speed / 6 Hp
Nature: Timid ( + Speed - Atk) Modest ( + Sp Atk - Atk)
- Flamethrower / Lava Plume
- Shadow Ball
- Swift / Extrasensory
- Hidden Power Ice

Timid should be the one to pick because you'll already have enough sp atk to do some damage. Lava plume would be good to pick because of the 30% burn hax but flamethrower might just have the bit more power to KO. Hidden power is for dragons and grounds that come in. Shadow Ball is there for psychics. Extrasensory is for fightings and poisons like machamp and gengar. Swift is there for accuracy evasions ;ike garchomp.


Other Option
For the sunny day set you could try swift instead of hp fighting. On the Choice specs you could use fire blast instead of lava plume.


Opinion
Entei has some good option but has no reliable stab in attack. He doesn't seem that he'll be very effective often.

Counters
Most Pokemon with a strong stab surf should counter this well or strong special sweepers that aren't weak to any of his attacks. He has rather low special Defense so any thing that has higher special attack
