Charizard is also pretty shitty outside of sun, takes 50% per Stealth Rock, has a piss poor movepool, and has terrible defensive typing. Also, just because something is able to handle Ferrothorn, does not make it a candidate for a well-balanced team, as it has problems with everything not named Ferrothorn.
Stall is tough cookies to run, Suicune handles the Fire-types of sun reasonably well, but cannot stand up to the grass ones =(.
Escavalier looks like a very underrated threat IMO. It's extremely bulky with a very strong physical attack, and can decimate the notorious Deoxys-D with a CB Megahorn. It can also take on any Kyurem that doesn't run HP Fire (which I think a lot of Kyurems are starting to do). I found this out the hard way, but I can't wait to try it out.
Started UU today at last...this tier is so hectic, I love it.
I pretty much think that Roserade under the sun can take on Escavalier. The fact that Roserade doesn't have to deal with Heatran anymore means that it can replace HP Ground with Fire, and Roserade's Poison-type means that Megahorns are going to do normal damage against it.
It can use weather ball too.
I may come in late, and It may have been said already, but Stall sure seems like it'd work in UU this gen
Chansey
Dusclops
Defensive core anybody?
Dusclops absorbs the physical attacks (and normal/fighting) While Chansey, well, be's a Blissey 2.0
Eviolite seems to be unliked this gen...

but entei is better than arcanine and so must be UU. I'm using Entei on OU and he's working for me....
I use it too, but Lefties Sucker Punch does 45.7% - 54% and Fake Out, 17% - 20.2%. Unless you're using LO and hope Victini also has one, Hitmontop vs 100% Victini usually means yet another V-Toasted pokémon.
EDIT -- Oh why yes of course, you'll switch in after something dies to V-Create... Then again, this means Victini will just switch out (as you can't possibly have Sucker Punch AND Pursuit... right?) and kill something else next time.
I have to say, TechniTop alone has won me some battles. I've been using Aerial Ace over Sucker Punch though so I can nail Ghosts and Heracross on the switch in. I like it so far, but if it were just a tad stronger then I would say I would recommend it over Sucker Punch. I'll have to go back to Sucker Punch and compare the two.
Cobalion has to be the best Pokemon i've ever used. It has great Speed, great Defence, and great typing. I've been using Swords Dance with Taunt, and the amount of things he can set up on is rediculous. Mixed ZTrick Room Vicitini is another masterpiece, just blowing down weakened teams like nothing. It also makes a fun lure to Suicune and Slowbro, luring them in and 2HKOing them with Thunderbolt.
MMF
Give me the strength to part this sea
What Technitop set are you running? Because I have yet to find one that works for me.
Slowbro is slower than you wich means he can revenge you, still, i know that TR victini is awesome since more times than not you can get a 4 tuns sweep (whit two pokes minium getting their health in red (and is not that they can stall turns since v-create/fusion bolt/zen headbutt is unresisted and V alone will kill almost anything that swiches)
sigh.... entei is not better than arcanine... he is actually inferior...
