This is my first Mesprit set that i want to test:

Mesprit @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 12 HP / 252 SpA / 244 Spe
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Psyshock
- Imprison
- Trick

@ Outspeeds Choice Scarf Adamant Land-T and gets the surprise OHKO with Ice Beam.
@ Imprison is not affected by Protect and i can use it to disable any Ice Beam from pokemon like Politoed, Ludicolo, Suicune and Milotic, which are threats for M-Mence. Trick can lock a pokemon into Protect, Tailwind or any move in my favour (i can also steal a Sitrus Berry from Politoed or Suicune in the process). I run Psyshock instead of Psychic because it can't OHKO Terrakion anyway, so i can just hit Sylveon for more damage.

It seems so weird to use but there are so many rain teams and Land-T/M-Mence/Garchomp around that this set might also work. I'll tell you in the next days  :P

My Cobalion set is a standard Jolly Expert Belt with Safeguard as its third move.

I can only imagine the absolute horror once they have Politoed and Ludicolo/Kingdra as their last Pokemon while you go with Imprison and use a Storm Drain Pokemon like Cradily
