You just have to level that Mon to obscene levels just to have a good chance at getting one...The mons I mentioned are in my opinion the best of the best Uranium OU has to offer. Escartress is in my opinion extremely niche and is all-around outclassed by Cocancer. It'a Special Attack and bulk are decent, but they aren't anything to write home about, and Escartress offers very little to its team outside of Sand Stream. Sure, it can combat fire types more easily than Cocancer, but there are other water types like Tubareel, M-Electruxo (as you mentioned), and Brainoar who can do the same thing, only better.
Couldn't Encartress be Number 3 ground threat? It has good Defensive typing (4x to grass, but coverage can handle that), has its HA for setting up sandstorms for rock/steel/ground teams, can cancel other weather with its HA, and can wall all the really dangerous Fire and Electric types that like to prance around. Its speed is a problem, but its bulky enough to be able to use leftovers effectively.
Elextruco is probably the No 1 water threat at the moment, besides maybe Gyarados and Sheer Force Diakatuna (and its mega, maybe)(Not counting Syrentide). Its mega can set up weather and give Thunder 100% chance of hitting, support rain teams, and power up its water stabs as well. Throw in Ice Beam for Boltbeam and things become rather sunny for it.
Alpico might also be a threat in the OU, but I will have to look into the pokemon for more info...
Alpico is quite good, but it's linearity keeps it from the list. Alpico's pathetically small movepool limits it to only one set, making it easier to deal with.
