Well, your main set ups in UU and OU are Bronzong, Ferrothorn, Skamory and Forretress. All of them are slow and weak to fire types. If you want to sweep up, go for Heatran w/ Air Balloon. It will be able to deal with Mamoswine as well (unless it has Thick Fat).

Heatran @ Air BalloonAbility: Flash FireEVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 SpeedNature: Timid- Fire Blast- Earth Power- Hp Ice- Stealth Rock

Other options:

Espeon/ Xatu with Magic Bounce ability.Espeon @ Light ClayAbility: Magic BounceEVs: 252 HP, 252 Speed, 4 DefNature: Timid- Reflect- Light Screen- Psychic- HP Fire

Xatu @ LeftoversAbility: Magic BounceEVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 4 SpeedNature: Calm- Roost- U-Turn- Psychic- Thunder Wave

Sableye/ Whimsicott with Prankster ability & Taunt.(I won’t give a Sableye moveset because Scizornician already gave one; except note that 120 EVs should be in defence, not attack)

Whimsicott @ LeftoversAbility: PranksterEVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp. DefNature: Bold- Substitute- U-Turn/ Encore/ Stun Spore- Taunt- Leech Seed

Whimiscott has the benefit of being immune to Leech Seed.

This Whimsy Cottonball will help you to find your way to victory :D

Go! whimsicottThe foe sent out DragoniteOk this is what you need to do is use Stun Spore to trick him if he uses dragon dance or a stat raising move. Just use encore to trap him then use Taunt to make your opponent use struggle Then there is a perfect chance to switch.

Use Taunt first to stop the non-attacking moves from happening.

GalladeDefinitely.Swanna+Life Orb+Brave Bird=Total recoil damage.It can’t learn anything that covers its HUGE weakness either.Gallade+Close Combat+Life Orb=little hp recoil,and statrecoil.BUT if you EV train in Defense,S.Defense,and Attack for the stat removal of CloseCombat,you should be just fine.
