[UUICL] Vampiric Gaze

SubSeed Serp was an easy pick to start off with an since it is rather self-sufficient, I just rolled with the standard set on it. SD Normalium Double Edge Bewear is somewhat underrated, nukes Gliscor at +2 and many other walls, including Quagsire. EQ as final coverage to chip steels that Serp can't chip all that well, as well as to provide coverage against Ghosts, particularly Marowak-A. Other, faster Ghosts, such as Chandelure and Gengar are supposed to be removed by Mega Aerodactyl which carries Pursuit. EQ is necessary for Mega Manectric which can be a bit of a nuiscance, and Ice Fang makes Aerodactyl the teams dedicated Gliscor counter. Since we don't want a team without a Fairy resist and something that can take on Latias, Metagross complements the double Pursuit core. EQ again as coverage for reasons outlined above, can't really give Marowak-A free turns, it also deals with Stakataka under TR better. Choice Scarf Hydreigon patches up the teams speed, it does what CS Hydrei does best: be a solid revenge killer with great defensive applications. Lastly, Golisopod for that extra flavour. Super cool looking 'mon, but man this thing is tough to use. Insect Plate boosted attacks hurt quite a bit though, and the team appreciated some priority to deal with Hydreigon, Latias and Mega Sharpedo. All in all, I believe this to have turned out quite decent. A ground type woulda been nice to have, so would have been a fairy, but this theme was rather restricting so I'm not too bumped about it.
