Choice Scarf-Naive/Rash Nature-Choice Scarf
Fire Blast
Earth Power
Explosion
Hidden Power Ice/Grass/Dragon Pulse
Heatran is a great Pokemon to take advantage of Choice Scarf Because its only below average stat is Speed. This makes Heatran an excellent Revenge Killer. Also with the ability Flash Fire, Heatran can freely switch in on any fire move and have his own fire move doubled in power. For the move slots, Fire Blast Is a much more powerful option but has a 15% chance of missing so feel free to opt to use Flamethrower for its accuracy. For the last Slot Dragon Pulse and HP Ice can be used to eliminate Dragons while HP Grass is super effective against Water and Ground Types like Suicune and Hippowdon.
Choice Specs.-Modest/Timid Nature-Choice Specs.
Fire Blast/Overheat
Earth Power
Hidden Power Grass
Dragon Pulse/Flamethrower
This set gives Heatran amazing attacking power. Fire Blast destroys anything that doesn't resist it. Unfortunately it's 77 base Speed really hurts it so Timid Natures probably your best option. Fire Blast is a great attack and has the advantage over Overheat that it doesn't lower your Special Attack but look out for the 75% accuracy. Earth Power destroys Ground and Rock types that switch in on you. HP Grass also covers those types and Water. Dragon Pulse KO the popular Dragons but Flamethrower is a good option for a more reliable fire attack.

Choice Scarf-Jolly Nature-Choice Scarf
Outrage
Earthquake
Dragon Claw

Outrage
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Dragon Claw
Even without a speed boost Garchomp still has amazing speed and now even more attaching power.

Dragon Claw lets you get a STAB move with out being locked in to Outrage.
Swords Dance-Jolly Nature-Life Orb/Yache Berry
Swords Dance
Outrage/Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Stone Edge
With Sword Dance and Life Orb Garchomp becomes almost unstoppable. The three attacking moves are only resisted by Bronzong. Outrage is a much stronger option, but Dragon Claw prevents you from becoming locked on.

Giratina Origin Forme Movesets
Calm Mind-Modest Nature-Griseous Orb
Calm Mind
Substitute
Aura Sphere/Shadow Ball/Dragon Pulse
Dragon Pulse/Shadow Ball/Aura Sphere
For this set first use Substitute then Calm Mind behind it. For the three attacks it's best not to go with double STAB because they are both resisted by Steel, which Aura Sphere nicely covers.
Physical Attacker-Adamant Nature-Griseous Orb
Shadow Claw
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Draco Meteor/Wisp-o-Willows/Stone Edge
This Moveset lets you hit the generally weaker side of Ubers. Shadow and Dragon Claw have almost perfect type coverage. Draco Meteor is a strong attack but Wisp-o-Willows lets you cripple threats such as Groudon. Stone Edge lets you destroy Ho-Oh but it's not a common Uber.
Special Attacker-Modest Nature-Griseous Orb
Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
Shadow Ball
Aura Sphere
Thunder
With the Griseous Orb you can freely switch between moves, giving you a slight advantage over Choice attackers. Draco Meteor gives you a very strong attack to work with but if you don't like the Special Attack drop then go with Dragon Pulse. Shadow Ball is a STAB move and lets you get super affective hits on the many Psychic Ubers. Aura Sphere lets you get perfect type coverage and Thunder hits Kyoger super effectively.

Forretress Movesets
Support-Leftovers/Shed Shell-Relaxed
Spikes/Toxic Spikes
Gyro Ball/Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Explosion/Reflect/Rest
Thanks to Forretress' huge defense and great typing it can be a great supporting Pokemon. Toxic Spikes and Spikes provide hazard for teams that switch a lot. If you use Toxic Spikes Earthquake is your best option because it hits Poison and Steels super effectively. Rapid Spin lets your own team switch more easily. Explosion lets Forretress go out with a bang, but Reflect is good for team support and Rest will keep Forretress alive longer. Shed Shell is preferred because because it keeps you from being destroyed by Magnezone.

Blissey Movesets
Wish Blissey-Calm Nature-Leftovers
Wish
Protect/Softboiled
Ice Beam/Flamethrower
Toxic
Blissey is arguably the best special wall in the game. Wish and Protect allow you to heal Blissey and teammates. Toxic is a great move for this set, which is primarily for stalling. Flamethrower hits most Steels (which are immune to Toxic) for super effectively damage. Unfortunately Heatran is immune to both of these move and is resistant to Ice Beam, which is a good option for Dragons and Dugtrio. Flamethrower is also 4x super effective ageist Scizor, the number one threat since the release of Platinum.
Support-Calm Nature-Leftovers
Aromatherapy
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave/Toxic
Softboiled
This moveset is for helping your teammates. Aromatherapy heals your team of all statuses. Thunder Wave cripples the opponent by halving their speed and creating a 1/3 chance of them not being able to attack. Softboiled allows you to heal Blissey as well as teammates
Charm-Calm Nature-Leftovers
Charm
Ice Beam
Light Screen
Softboiled
With Charm you will force a lot of switches so it's best to take advantage of Spikes and/or Stealth Rock. Switch in on a Special Attacker and when a Physical Attacker switches in to counter Blissey, use Charm, which will most likely cause them to switch. As that Pokemon switches out you can then use Light Screen to support teammates.

Salamence Movesets
Dragon Dance-Naughty/Naive Nature-Life Orb
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Blast/Stone Edge/Dragon Claw
Once again Salamence has to take a moveset that was a Dragonite speciality. This moveset used to be Dragonite's signature, but with the Platinum Move Tutor Salamence can learn Outrage. This moveset is extremely powerful. With one Dragon Dance and Life Orb he can KO most Pokemon. Fire Blast lets you hit everything for neutral damage, Stone Edge will be stronger but is resisted by Bronzong. Dragon Claw is another option, as it is more reliable then Outrage and does not lock you into it.
Mixed-Rash Nature-Life orb
Draco Meteor
Fire Blast
Brick Break
Roost/Crunch
For Salamence the Move Tutor is both a blessing and a curse. Dragonite now outclasses Salamence in mixed sweeping. Nevertheless, this is still a good moveset. Draco Meteor hits all non Steels hard. Fire Blast hit most Steels for super effective damage and Brick Break hits the others. Roost is better because you can heal the Life Orb damage but Crunch is still a good option.
Choice Band-Naive/Naughty Nature-Choice Band
Outrage
Aqua Tail
Fire Blast
Earthquake/Stone Edge/Dragon Claw
This moveset is very powerful and gives you the element of surprise. Outrage and Aqua Tail complement each other nicely, and will hit most common Pokemon neutrally except Empoleon. Fire Blast is there to hit Skarmory, which is a common switch in on Salamence. Earthquake is best for other Steels like Magnezone and Heatran, but Stone Edge lets you KO Gyarados and Salamence with out locking yourself on to Outrage. Dragon Claw is there if you want a more reliable STAB.
Other Mixed-Mild Nature-Life Orb
Draco Meteor
Outrage
Fire Blast
Earthquake
This moveset takes advantage of Salamence's ridiculous STABs and strong attack stats. Fire Blast and Earthquake are there to KO Steels.
Choice Specs-Modest/Timid Nature-Choice Specs
Draco Meteor
Dragon Pulse
Flamethrower
Hydro Pump
This set isn't as powerful as Choice Band but much more surprising. Draco Meteor is powerful STAB and Dragon Pulse is reliable. Hydro Pump and Flamethrower in conjunction with a Dragon move is only resisted by Empoleon.
Choice Scarf-Naughty Nature/Choice Scarf
Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Blast
Hydro Pump
This moveset takes advantage of Salamence's great attack stats and boosts its sometimes disappointing speed. Outrage is a great STAB move that takes care of many Pokemon. Earthquake and Fire Blast are unresisted by any Pokemon that resists Outrage. Hydro Pump is highly affective at KOing defensive Ground types.
Defensive-Timid Nature-Leftovers
Roost
Wish/Toxic
Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
Flame Thrower
This set takes greater advantage of Intimidate, which lowers the opponent's attack. Roost is a reliable 50% recovery move. Wish will support you teammates, but Toxic allows you to slowly whittle away at you opponent's health. Draco Meteor is Salamence's strongest attack, but Dragon Pulse is a more reliable option. Flame Thrower has great type coverage in conjunction with a Dragon move, allowing you to easily KO or 2HKO most Steels.

Tyranitar Movesets
Choice Band-Jolly Nature-Choice Band
Crunch
Stone Edge
Pursuit
Aqua Tail/Earthquake/Fire Punch
Crunch and Stone Edge are both very powerful moves for Tyranitar. Pursuit lets you catch Ghosts and Psychics on the run. Aqua Tail is good at taking out Defensive grounds like Hippowdon and Gliscor. Earthquake and Fire Punch are for the ever present Steels. Earthquake is stronger, but Fire Punch hits Skarmory and is more powerful against Bug/Steels. Fire Blast can also be used to OHKO Skarmory and still hit other Steels.
Dragon Dance-Jolly/Adamant Nature-Life Orb/Leftovers
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Stone Edge
Fire Punch/Aqua Tail
This moveset lets Tyranitar be faster and still have good attacking power but does need time to set up. The attacks are there for the same reasons as the Choice Band Set
Choice Scarf-Choice Scarf-Hasty/Naive Nature
Fire Blast
Ice Beam
Crunch/Stone Edge
Earthquake/Stone Edge
This moveset takes many by surprise. Ice Beam takes down bulky Grounds and Dragons. Fire Blast takes out Steels. Stone Edge and Crunch are your strongest options because of STAB, but Earthquake is always good for type coverage. Super Power can also be used for Blisseys.
Counter-Adamant Nature-Leftovers
Dragon Dance
Counter
Stone Edge/Crunch
Earthquake
Dragon Dance will most likely lure in a Tyranitar counter like defensive Grounds, Gyarados, or Bronzong. You can easily KO all of these with Counter, and then Tyranitar can sweep virtually unchallenged. Stone Edge hits harder than Crunch but both are good options.
