To be completely honest i don't see anything other than those mons who have a STAB leech life using it because bug is such a poor coverage move. And like said, you could use it against slowbro and ludicolo, but slowbro is a physical wall with regenerator, you wont be killing or even denting it...

Lets not Forget pangoro have Scrapy brick break, and as he just got buFFed with bullet punch so he might see some more use

So, not necessarilly a core but vgc wise: Mantine, Tapu Bulu, Decidueye, A-Sandslash, Passimian, Mudsdale Mantine has received a great buff with roost and +20 bst hp and its types resist both fighting and fire, wich A-sandslash doesnt really dig. Decidueye and Bulu also enjoy having an ally...

Well, mantine has received a great buff with roost and +20 bst hp and its types resist both fighting and fire. A mantine with scald, roost, wide guard and hail can be a good partner for sandslash on vgc. Or it can run defog and air slash instead of hail and wide guard in singles. for vgc...

I Can see it having both. enough speed investment to outspeed specific threats and the rest to hp or oneof the defs

Yeah, it's not like this have been said in other 3 or more comments already. Seriously, not trying to be a dick but this is a discussion thread, you should probably read it before posting to avoid saying what has already been said. A discussion should move forward, not in loops.

In game i'll go adamant, impish, carefull or sassy. whatever one i get first. On competitive i'll first try out the defensive sets, so i'll be running carefull or impish at first

In game? any will do. Competitive? depends on your aproach, really

That depends on your team really. if you need a slow pivot, probably not. if you need to beat or check specific threats, it could be beneficial to invest a little. But on most of the time i dont see it running speed evs

I'm not sure if he is actually outclassed by primeape as a defiant user. His far superior bulk enables him to not relly only in speed as primeape does in order to actually dish out damage. A primeape will never beat a scarf landorus for example, cause you dont invest in bulk for primeapes and...

For singles a pretty ok set would be: Defiant Adrenalin Orb Bulk Up Close Combat Acrobatics / U-turn Iron Head Adrenalin orb gives you +1 atk + 1 speed total when encountering an intimidate user Bulk Up to boost you bulk and damage on a resisted hit or predicted switch Stab Close Combat needs...

There are several ideas on the first 3 pages, maybe some will help you think o something that pleases you =P

Well, it is VGC focused so it does not need to be a powerhowse itself to be a good mon. It does have nice supporting options, a good ability, decent bulk and damage capabilities to dish of when it's not required to Quick guard/Bestow/feint, for a few examples. It can support by absorving the...

Do we get to use more than one mon with z-moves in a battle? I mean, I know we can have more than one holding a stone, but can they both use their z-moves on the same battle?

It could go adrenaline orb + Guts with Protect, Acrobatics (assuming the orb is gone cause it says its a one time only use), close combat and iron head for a vgc attacker. Or maybe a Protect Quick guard, Bestow/Rain dance/Sunny day, Close combat, Bulldoze: Quick guard for you know, priority...

Hidden Power, Solar Beam, Round, Echoed Voice, Grass Pledge. And people seems to forget that the movesets change and grow from time to time.

I don't know about investing on his speed thou. I can see this set working for the purpose you gave it with a few changes like: 1 - investing only enough speed to outspeed the mons you aim to kill that would have no investment on speed themselves 2 - giving the rest of this to HP to cover...

So, I've been running some calcs for lvl 50 battles (battlespot / vgc), assuming tapu bulu has taken a walk through the field and thats what i came up with: Carefull nature - 150 hp, 120 def, 252 sp def - Item: Grassy seed (boosts defense by 1 once on grassy terrain): Both: 252 SpA Life Orb...
