This team was made around Bewear. Bewear is a fun mon on its own, being very unique and being able to dish out strong hits with Normalium Z. At first, I was going to support it by using a Nihilego, as it could absorb Flying Special Hits, as Bewear isn't exactly 'weak' to the Physical ones. But as the team kept on going, I felt like I needed stronger Mega Manectric answers while not losing the ability to check birds, and this is where Rhyperior came. Rhyperior gave me the answer I needed to both of those while also providing me rocks. Also, later into the build, it also got the role of being my absolute main way of defeating Togekiss, as the other members struggle with that. It also helps checking Mega Beedrill. Next, I wanted a strong Scald answer that could abuse Water- and Ground-types while giving me speed control. Mega Sceptile fit this role well while also being a nuke in general, helping breaking physical walls for Bewear. It also became a strong Mega Manectric check as the team kept on going. I felt dragon weak and I thought a Wish passer could really help the team, as my main Scizor answer at the moment was the bear and it could get low quite easily. It also supported my main bird answer and also my main wallbreaker. With this in mind, Sylveon was my 4th pick. But even with Wish support + Bewear, I still felt Scizor weak. Not only that, I also felt Cobalion weak and in need of a spinner/defogger. This made me choose Tentacruel, giving me all these in one slot. Although it is a bit frail and can get low, usually Sylveon does a nice job of not allowing it to get too low, as it baits Steel-types in and usually that's enough to give Tentacruel a free turn to come in and absorb that wish. At least I wanted speed control and a ghost resist. Hydreigon just fit nicely. Overall, I like this team and I think it is pretty fun. Feel free to try it out.
