ITT: Gimmicky stuff that seems like it should work in OU, but doesn't.
Scarf Defiant Braviary
Trapper Decidueye
Z-Snatch Honchkrow
Nature Power Whimsicott (priority Moonblast/Energy Ball with terrains)

Gravity Gigalith or Golurk w/ SE and EQ
Z-Gravity Porygon-Z w/ Zap Cannon, Blizzard, Thunder
Z-Trick or Treat Gourgeist (Phantom Force, Leech Seed, ToT, WoW)
Admittedly, all of mine are very gimmicky.

> Breddy gud
> Give it Ghost STAB
> Phanton Force or Shadow Claw

Z celebrate mew aye

>Z-splash meme
>>extreme evoboost doesn't work with anything but Eevee
Also Z-celebrate Jirachi is already a thing and it's viable
Z-Me First/Power Trip Krookodile
Using Z-Me First gives +2 speed and then uses the opponents move as if it had been a Z-Move. Only problem is that Krookodile has such unimpressive speed it rarely gets to do it
And Power Trip sucks even with the Moxie/Me First boosts
