    Spectrier is in high usage right now but I can give you my team for inspiration. BTW this is for gen 9 OU

    Charizard Salac berry tera grass for Kyogre

    Belly drum, acrobatics, tera blast, flair blitz

    Ability: Blaze strat: belly drum if you have the advantage, and they will hit you and activate Salac berry to give you max attack and 1.5 speed. Sweep with acrobatics since you aren't holding anything anymore

    Maushold technician leftovers tera normal

    Tidy up, Pop. Bomb, aerial ace, agility

    Strat: Tidy up then tera normal and sweep with population bomb and aerial ace for annihilate.

    Serperior contrary meadow plate tera grass

    Leaf storm, glare, light screen, reflect

    Set up or sweep with leaf storm

    Annihalape expert belt defiant tera steel

    Bulk up, substitute, rage fist, drain punch.

    Substitute then bulk up as much as possible use drain punch for effectiveness and healing and if you get hit 4 times, rage fist can get up to 200 base power and default to rage fist.

    Alolan golem galvanize zap plate tera fly

    Double edge, curse, earthquake, gyro ball

    Set up with curse to make gyro ball really strong and sweep with DE

    just come up with a strat for a 6th pokemon

    there's a lot of different pokemon you can use, but honestly the specific pokemon matter less than making sure your team is cohesive - everyone should cover for something the rest of the team can't, everyone should flow together and not be stepping on each other's toes (for example, don't set up psychic terrain if you plan on spamming extreme speed). the smogon website can be a great place to find strategies and tips for using or countering a lot of different pokemon.

    to answer your question more directly, though, some of the strongest pokemon in the current metagame are Calyrex, Miraidon, Koraidon, Kyogre, Groudon, and Terapagos. some of the best pokemon that aren't restricted are Incineroar, Rillaboom, Flutter Mane, Urshifu, Chi-Yu, and Amoonguss.
