Team Description: Hoopa-Unbound is a really good pokemon in the meta rn, you win against a lot of top threats like volcanion/metagross/dragapult/pecharunt/primarina(depending if the primarina is custap). Choice scarf is for meowscarada and iron crown i play it 252 spe to out speed meowscarada/darkrai and most of the spectrier ,a little bit in def(64)to be a bit bulkier and all the ev left are put in atk(192+) for non booster raging bolt.You use thunderbolt to have a better machup against volcanion but you can really play trick insteed of thuderblot for corviknight /pechachunt or pressure stall zapdos. Donphan help hoopa to beat strong physical attacker like roaring moon/garchomp/landorus-T/Iron Hand/iron vaillant/ninetail-alola/sneasler and beat most of the electric type of the tier.Max atk for poke like roaring moon/primarina and I put all the ev left in spedef and a little bit into def to tank an Tachyon Cutter at +2 and to tank 2 moonblast from iron vaillant with the encore/disable set +2 0 SpA Iron Crown Tachyon Cutter (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Donphan: 276-326 (85.9 - 101.5%) -- approx. 6.3% chance to OHKO 0 SpA Iron Valiant Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Donphan: 129-153 (40.1 - 47.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO you can also play it with max speed but your team lose to iron vaillant with encore disable Primarina is here to help the team to work, he counters /Ursaluna/Regidrago/scissor/iron hand and most of the dragon/fire and ground type. primarina has a lot of invest in hp and def(132hp/172def) to have a better matchup against physical attacker like metagross/ urshifu band/donphan and a lot in speed(176)to outspeed fast ursaluna and donphan and metagross with no investment in spe. chilling water is for donphan and psyshic noise agaisnt subtitute mon or mon that need to heel like corviknight. Beginner tips: to beat ninetails you have to play donphan and then you head smash t1 and gunk shot t2 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen91v1-2315281691 to beat donphan you need to make him chill his life and chillinge water him https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen91v1-2315283243 tips: if you want to beat meowscarada scarf and liligant scarf you need to put 232 in def instead of spedef for donphan to tank triple axel but its very rarely played if you want to beat custap berry donphan you need to play life orb or another item and play aqua jet instead of psyshic noise Trick on hoopa is really good and help you agaisnt setup pokemon. notes: One of the biggest problem with this team is agaisnt bulcky grass type ,you dont have anithing that resist grass and no stab poison/ice/bug/flying/fire but i feel like in general grass type are not very good or bulcky, but yeah something like zarude,rillaboom or shaymin can be very problematic with the right set.
