Seeing those sets just shows how much off-meta my team are, and at same time aren't. 

 

Scizor - My set doesn't match on EVs at all. I use a tricky spread to have just enough speed to pass a Bold Rotom-Wash.

Dragonite - Sometimes on the classic DD set, Sometimes with the "Matusalem Dragonite", using a Dragon Dance set which has Flamethrower just for Skarm/Ferrothorn. 

Serperior - Use a meta set, but is not top choice, and back when I was implementing it onto my team, the set was borderline unviable. I brought it to the meta, because it fits the role my team needed at the time(I was using, and currently still use Offense. And since i struggled a lot vs Rain, designed that set to specifically bait Kingdra. Currently even using Offense, my team don't struggle vs Rain at all). It was the Assault Vest set. 

Suicune - Use a meta set, but the spread is complety off-choices. Just enough speed for reaching 136(All 80s base usually goes adamant so having more speed is useless for me, the maximum speed is 135 for them), and just enough HP to have 205, which allows a 51 HP substitute. The rest is on defense, which helps deal with Rain, giving longevity vs Kabutops. Also assists vs Tyranitar for the same reason.  

Gastrodon - Complety off-choice. I don't use scald, nor Leftovers(I usually let a Mail, which prevent Trick for working. Rotom-W suffers a lot vs my Gastrodon.)

Zapdos - Timid, but I don't use any of the sets.

 

Basically those sets are good, but don't rely on them all the times. Some opponents, if you face them, may use sets that are Mystery Boxes, so you're in for a treat if that happens. More high in the ranks, less often they're using tricky sets, but 1 or 2 sets may still be in the team, all the times.
