I'd imagine Diancie does the job quite nicely, but I haven't really had the time to play much ORAS so I apologize if I turn out to be perpetuating false information.

Unfortunately, no. All relevant fairy types are 2HKOed by brave bird and talonflame resists their stab moves.
Edit: mega Diancie takes a ton from +2 brave bird, but yeah.

Don't let your memes be dreams
Tentacruel and Scolipede. Forretress may work too but it is not that effective in the meta at the moment. Never tried Toxic Spikes Greninja, only Spikes Greninja, but you may try that one out too
Would a set of Roost/Draco Meteor/Psyshock/Healing Wish on Latias be outclassed by another mon?
Nope. Latias is great as an offensive support pokemon, particularly for healing wish which is an incredible move to bring back weakened sweepers, as that can drastically change the outcome of a game. I dont really see another Pokemon doing the same things that Latias does.
Edit: Yeah, jirachi is the only other viable healing wish user in the tier.

Jirachi could sort of replicate healing wish lati, but yeah, it doesn't do the job quite as well, and also lacks direct recovery.
Aside from what's been said Dragalge could also work, but it'd rather drop dracos than set up Tspikes.
I'm pretty sure I have an idea already, but I want to make sure: What's the difference (and how much of a one) between Bulky Offense teams and Balance teams? A lot of the Pokemon I tend to think of as working best in one tend to do well in the other.
Actually what I'd really REALLY appreciate is something along the lines of two made-up-on-the-spot teams with close to similar Pokemon on them, and then show how they differ in function/set.

Balance features a mix of attackers and walls, while Bulky Offense uses attacking mons with good bulk and synergy. It's the team equivalent of choosing between Gliscor and Landorus-T, if that makes sense.
If you mean other than the general viability thread, someone tried to start one up pre-ORAS, but it died out pretty quickly.
Darn :[
I mean, all of its abilities pre-mega evolving are pretty pointless so idt it really matters.
This is so it's defence can't be lowered. It will rarely happen be useful, but it's better safe then dead.
But it's kind of a moot point if you're going to Mega Evolve it right away, since there are no abilities that could lower its Defense on the turn you send it out.
Crunch exists.
There really isn't any point in arguing this, cause all of its other abilities are even more useless.
Hey guys. I've been debating whether to run Psycho Cut or Zen Headbutt on Mega Gallade. The 10 extra BP and 20% chance to flinch on Zen Headbutt is great but I feel like you really get screwed over at times by that 90% accuracy. Are there any crucial KOs you miss out on if you run Psycho over Zen?

Banned deucer.
I'm pretty sure it does

Yes but it can't phaze if your opponent has the ability Soundproof or Suction Cups or if they have used Ingrain
Yes, it does count as a sound move, so abilities like Soundproof block it. It can also phaze through sub.
