getting an impressive peak with the team. Matter Of Fact during his ladder period he made some changes to sets. So, I will have my version of the team and his version pasted below in the rmt. Choose which one you like [: My version is more anti offense. His version was more I hate stall which im proud of, I have rubbed off on him :P
I built this team thinking how will I make Hoopa work again. How will I unlock its potential again and tbh it may not seem so hard but you may notice that there rarely been any Hoopa teams popularized cause it isn't easy to build with all. People always find and even myself a better dark type or mon to hit its position. As I instructed in the previous RMT you have to treat Hoopa like a mega and make the team around Hoopa.
So, I hope you enjoy this RMT. I hope to see more Hoopa teams popularized that are good. Hoopa is a mon that you just can't pass up the opportunity of building with....

Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Toxic/Stone Edge
- U-turn
The Pokemon that stops physical sweepers from back to backing me. Against Physical Mons Pokemon, Stealth Rocks is never a issue and if they wanna attack they take some nice recoil. EQ is there cause its a strong stab that unless your a flying type or levitate user usually you don't want to switch into. Toxic helps against bulky mons such as hippo and slowbro that are annoying to my mega lopunny. Toxic is there also to put bulky and sweeper Mega Altaria into a tough situation. U-Turn is for momentum when I need it to get my threats inside and proceed to breaking my opponents team.This is my main switch into Lopunny and Mega Metagross. I usually scout set of Mega Altaria with torn cause special Altaria has been common and usually pivot from torn to tran against that. Sadly, having Toxic over Edge causes me to have a major weakness to Dragonite but with recoil and intimidate drops I try my best to hold it off. The Rocky Helmet also is to punish u turn spam which helps the star Hoopa Unbound.

The Pokemon that started it all and puts fear into your eyes. I choose for this team to use Choice Scarf Hoopa. I needed a dark type that was capable to outspeed Mega Lopunny and Mega Manectric and other fast mon's without scarf. Hoopa fit this role perfectly and I found it better then the possibly of scarf Hydregion. I didn't want a major ice weakness that Hydregion would bring a having few draco switch ins as it is I felt it wouldn't work. Hoopa is also a surprise scarf not many people suspect it being scarf until they see no lo recoil and then they start thinking oh boy. I have gunk shot on this set cause of Clef being annoying and want to not cm sweep possibly. Trick works though as JohnYiu up changing it up in the end of slowing down the sweep and also messing up Chansey that usually swtichs into Hoopa after seeing dark pulse. Trick can also mess up Bisharp which you can see is a threat to the team. Locking Bisharp into knock off or sucker helps alot espicially if it's trying to go for a late game sweep. Thing is Bisharp barely sets up on anything cept Torn but most are scared of heat wave or superpower. Having also sometime to scare out Keldeo is nice as it is a big pain to this team.

Rotom is here to give Momentum. It really brings the team together and may be the beating heart of it. It is the main counter too... Torn,Weavile,Pinsir,Tyranitar,Lando-T,Heatran,"Keldeo",Jirachi,Hippo and maybe more.....It's job is hard and can be overwhelmed easily so having wall of Lando t and decent wall of tran to help it works alot. Being able to switch into Slowbro willo and volt out is important as this is my main way to handle Slowbro. It is also my main answer to Hippodown most games I play aggressive vs Hippo to give my other mons free switch's and start applying the pressure we need to win.

Lopunny is annoying lets face it. It can hit ghost types with its wonderful scrappy ability so technically the only mon who completely walls is Shedninja unless you wanna run magic coat or fire punch [: Do not really have to explain that much here. Lopunny stops u from losing to offense threats as Weaville and starmie being able to take them out with ease. I have enjoyed fake out and qa Lopunny cause most don't expect on a jolly set and I would run adamant but the team can't afford adamant Lopunny. This literally is your only counter to lo kyurem b so when you face that threat its very important to keep this alive. This also is the only mon on the team that can beat char y 1v1. If you face Kyurem b and Char Y say your prays and then click x [:

This is my favorite set on the team/favorite Heatran set atm. It is my favorite anti-meta set. Being able to trap threats like Rotom-W and Azumarill as well as defensive slowbro is brilliant. It being able to kill bulky chomp and special defens gliscor after a magma storm is amazing for this build.
156 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 87-103 (20.7 - 24.5%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
156 SpA Heatran Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 280-332 (66.6 - 79%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
156 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Rotom-W: 72-84 (23.7 - 27.7%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
156 SpA Heatran Solar Beam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Rotom-W: 230-272 (75.9 - 89.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
I hope this set catches fire it is so good to use and is my main way of helping my lopunny out. There has been games where my tran gets 3-4 kills cause the set is so unexpected. Like, this set is anti my fire Hoopa RMT with no mon on my team a safe switch in.

Battle between Dracov and lt4e NJNP started!
Dracov sent out Diancie! Go! 30 for 30 (Tornadus-Therian)!
Turn 1 The opposing Diancie's Diancite is reacting to Dracov's Mega Bracelet!
The opposing Diancie has Mega Evolved into Mega Diancie!
30 for 30 used Iron Tail! Blew It Back! Wasn't there a diancie of our screen? Diancie Come BACK ;.; It's super effective! The opposing Diancie lost 100% of its health!
The opposing Diancie fainted!
And that kid's is how you get rid of your biggest threat.... Iron Tail on torn is solely for Diancie. I have been in many games where they lead Diancie. I lead torn and they career ends and usually I win from there sense the threat is gone. No one protects cause who runs iron tail on Torn (They will prob protect cause of rmt now RIP Lives Ended) Torn is my main draco switch in and brings a nice u turn for my favorite type of playing style volt switch. I think every team should have a knock off user it's just too much of a good move to pass up if you can fit it in your teams. Torn should be S rank imo but that's another discussion. I would talk about hurricane but we already know how that works.
Go! 30 for 30 (Tornadus-Therian)!
30 for 30 used Hurricane! It missed get over it..
