Hello, guys! It's me, toenails_sauce, and I proudly present you my balance team built around Hoopa Unbound (got tired of building HO teams), peaked at 1673 with 46 wins and 16 losses. However, my team focuses around a defensive FWG core, so without further ado, let's look at the team (you can call it the kek squad)!
Hoopa-U is a great Pokemon to build a team around, due to its excellent wallbreaking capabilities. Instead of incorporating it into an offensive core, I chose to build a defensive core to stop revenge killers that target Hoopa-U.
A physical wall is a great partner for Hoopa-U if one chooses to not build an HO team, so I chose Slowbro. It can stop numerous sweepers that trouble Hoopa-U: Talonflame, Landorus-T, Mega Lopunny, and Keldeo, to name a few.
Even though Hoopa-U has Gunk Shot, Fairies still can be a problem to it and Slowbro. Therefore, I chose Heatran, who counters nearly every Fairy type other than Mega Diancie. Heatran is also a great stealth rock setter and can absorb powerful Draco Meteors.
Mega Manectric is a great answer to Water-types and Tornadus-t, (<-- Mega Manectric finds it hard to switch in to this asshole though). Overall though, Mega Manectric is a fantastic revenge killer and momentum grabber, especially for my Hoopa-U. In its non-evolved form, Manectric can also switch in to Electric-type attacks (but be careful switching into opposing Mega Manectric, who can use a predicted Overheat when your Manectric enters the battlefield!)
Scarfed Landorus-t would be a problem had I not added a Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn to my team. Not only it punishes U-turners like Landorus-t, but Ferrothorn can also set up Spikes alongside Heatran. It is a backup physical wall to Slowbro and it completes the FWG core.
The only reason I chose Keldeo is because of the infamous Bisharp, whom the rest of the team cannot take care of, sadly. Keldeo is a great general wallbreaker, punching holes alongside Hoopa-U and improving my matchups against stall and balance.

crawling in my kek (Hoopa-Unbound) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magician
EVs: 160 Atk / 96 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Gunk Shot
- Drain Punch
- Psychic
- 160 Atk EVs guarantee a KO on mixed defensive Clefable with Gunk Shot, and max Speed with Hasty Nature gives Hoopa-U as much speed as possible. The rest of the EVs are dumped into SpA.
- Life Orb improves damage output.
- Dark Pulse is a reliable STAB-move with no drawbacks.
- Gunk Shot kills Fairies.
- Drain Punch destroys predicted Dark-types, such as Tyranitar and Bisharp.
- Another STAB move, Psychic is important for Mega Venusaur and doing high damage overall with Dark Pulse.
top kek (Slowbro) @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Slack Off
- Thunder Wave
- Fire Blast/Psyshock
- The given EV spread maximizes Slowbro's bulk and enables him to survive two Choice specs-boosted Hydro Pumps from opposing Keldeo.
- Leftovers and Regenerator improve Slowbro's longevity.
- Scald spreads burns and stops most physical sweepers.
- Slack Off gives Slowbro reliable recovery.
- Thunder Wave slows down other Pokemon and is effective when used at the right time.
- You can either choose Fire Blast or Psyshock (actually, I have a hard time deciding what fits better for my Slowbro!) Fire Blast, while situational, can OHKO Bisharp and Scizor, but Psyshock punishes Keldeo and Substitutes of Gyarados.

- Stealth Rock
- 68 Spe EVs enable Heatran to outspeed and Taunt Mandibuzz, Mega Venusaur, and minimum Speed Suicune, before the aformentioned Pokemon can do any status moves. The rest of the EVs and a Calm nature are used to enhance Heatran's special bulk, improving its job at absorbing Draco Meteors and other special attacks.
- Leftovers are good for passive recovery.
- Lava Plume spreads MORE burns and hits frail attackers.
- Toxic is a good status move alongside Taunt, enabling Heatran to stallbreak.
- Stealth Rock is crucial for entry hazard damage.

Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 SpD

And now... the Replays!
The wins underline my progress of going up the ladder.

- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-337767208 1300s ELO (Wow, this was just plain luck at the end of the battle [I didn't have Specs Keldeo then]. However, Specs Raikou, Tornadus-t, and Kyurem-B can be troublesome to my team.)
- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-337767208 1300s ELO, Even Nidoking is a problem (another haxwin)
- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-337979164 1300s --> 1400s, Ferrothorn proving his usefulness early-game, while the serial killer Keldeo swept late-game.
- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-338707021 1400s ELO, Good ol' Heatran...
- file:///Users/wlee2019/Downloads/OU-2016-03-02-toenailssauce00-holdthislson.html 1400s ELO, regular battle (alright, I don't really know if this link works, but I'll try) IMPORTANT NOTE: JUST COPY THE LINK AND PASTE IT IN ANOTHER TAB
- file:///Users/wlee2019/Downloads/OU-2016-03-05-fosty-toenailssauce00.html 1400s --> 1500s ELO, this replay shows the power of Keldeo's Hydro Pump (kinda) and my utilization of Manectric's Lightningrod.
- file:///Users/wlee2019/Downloads/OU-2016-03-05-toenailssauce00-candice.html 1500s ELO, although this wasn't a full battle, it shows that I need a little luck when dealing with Mega Gardevior without sacrificing any teammates.

- file:///Users/wlee2019/Downloads/OU-2016-03-04-toenailssauce00-theunderusedguru.html (COPY AND PASTE THE LINK) 1400s ELO, this battle shows how dependent I am on Keldeo to stop Bisharp. My Keldeo died mid-game, enabling Bisharp to win.

- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-340491798 1600s --> 1500s ELO, the consequences of having no entry hazard control (I also played pretty badly and did a bad job of preventing the opponent from setting hazards, apparently XD. And for god's sake, all of my pokemon are GROUNDED, taking full damage from every hazard.)
- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-340502782 1600s ELO, sending my Mega Manectric at the wrong time screwed my up, because I needed him for Tornadus-t...
- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-340635167 1600s ELO. Dragonite, you bastard. Having just the right tools to beat my team: Extremespeeding my Mega Manectric and Keldeo; Fire Punching my Ferrothorn; and Outraging, or should I say, CRITHAXING MY SLOWBRO
- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-340629800 1600s ELO. This battle got me to my peak!
- file:///Users/wlee2019/Downloads/OU-2016-03-03-sinfulpleasures-toenailssauce00.html Damn, this was fun, battling another trainer whose ELO is in the 1800s (I had used "Find a User" and typed the name of a random person who is high on the ladder). Honestly, the only Pokemon I had against him was my Hoopa-U, but his Mega Latias later destroyed my team.
Threatlist:
Well, that's it for now. Right now I'm working on a team built around Mega Metagross, but I MIGHT show that in the future. Anyways, thanks for watching/reading!
