Yeah, but 1 month and a Tournament winning team is pretty good though

Non legends that /kind of/ work like the legends.
Suicune = Milotic (cept not as bulky/supportive but it'll do)
Arcanine = Entei/Heatran (not as good as Heatran but it works)
Hydreigon = Latios/Latias (Latias is more supportive, Latios is more offensive than it)
Thundurus = Whimsicott or Klefki. Whimsicott gets taunt access, Klefki gets Thunderwave access.
Landorus = No pokemon really is similar here. You could kinda mimic it with like air balloon excadrill/Gliscor maybe.
Cresselia = uhhh.... Umbreon kind of. But it just doesn't have the support capabilities Cress holds. Maybe you could work something out.
Terrakion = nothing really :s
Virizion = Gallade can kinda pull this off with access to strong fighting moves and leaf blade.

Pokemon like Garchomp kinda work like Terrakion. In terms of Cresselia Slowbro, Slowking, Jellicent, Reuniclus, Aromatisse, and Musharna come to mind.
RE: Pokemon VGC 2015 Metagame Megathread - Rogue - Jan 17, 2015
I don't really see how Garchomp works like Terrakion. Garchomps Rock Slide is way weaker, by about half. It also doesnt get access to CC or X-Scissor/Zen Headbutt which is entirely hard to mimic in any Pokemon. Garchomp is similar in bulk however.
You're definitely right for the Cresselia's. I can't believe I missed all of these. Mostly Slowbro/King Jellicent! Very good choices, I'd recommend Jellicent who gets recover, icy wind, and trick room. Thanks Peppermint!

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, I'm new to the site
. But what are the most commonly used sets on a Hitmontop? I'm very interested in running one but I don't know what all is efficient to use on it.

Hitmontop is a really good pokemon because it gets access to both the moves wide quard and quick guard, also moves such as Close Combat to deal alot of damaage
