Shed Shell is a one time use. If the player doesn't know how to trap Skarmory twice, him/herself probably doesn't know how to use trapping Pokemon very effectively.
The Scizor used in team 2 has max attack EV's along with an Adamant nature. A +2 Bug Bite (Scizor's most effective move against Magnezone) is a 3HKO, but has a chance of 2HKO after rocks. HP Fire is a guaranteed OHKO no matter what, unless for some reason Magnezone's Sp Atk dropped. Substitute isn't needed, as there's no statuses to block.
I mentioned the weakness to Hydreigon, however Magnezone's purpose to make the sweep for Kyurem-B easier- not try and sweep the whole team. Hydreigon shouldn't be a problem in that regard- there's no reason Kyurem wouldn't be behind a substitute taking on Hydreigon besides Kyurem being the last pokemon left.
