[SET COMMENTS]
Hoopa-U, when paired with an Assault Vest, can leverage its incredible Special Defense, enabling it to come in on threats like Kyurem and Heatran and proceed to cause immense havoc with its incredible base attacking stats. Psychic and Psyshock handles Poison- and Fighting-types like Toxapex and Iron Hands for Hoopa-U's teammates; Psychic OHKOes Galarian Weezing, (AC) while Psyshock removes Flutter Mane after Stealth Rock. Knock Off cripples special walls attempting to come in such as Alolan Muk, Tornadus-T, and Articuno, making it much easier for Hoopa-U and teammates like Greninja to wear them down. Focus Blast slams Steel- and Dark-types like Archaludon, Heatran, and Darkrai. Finally, (AC) Thunderbolt handles Water- and Flying-types such as Primarina, Pelipper, and Skarmory. The given EV spread allows Hoopa-U to outspeed Modest Magnezone while only having minor chance of being 2HKOed by Choice Scarf Flutter Mane's Moonblast after a layer of Spikes.

Hoopa-U greatly appreciates support from Mandibuzz to make up for its poor Defense, with it checking threats like Choice Scarf Great Tusk, Excadrill, Scizor, and Ogerpon-W, along with pivoting Hoopa-U in safely with U-turn. Ting-Lu can provide entry hazard support that helps to wear down would-be switch-ins like Corviknight and Assault Vest Gallade, and its Ground typing makes it great at checking Raging Bolt. Choice Band Meowscarada is a strong wallbreaker able to check Ground- and Water-types such as Ting-Lu, Swampert, and Hisuian Samurott with Flower Trick while also using Triple Axel to handily check Gliscor and Dragonite. Choice Scarf Greninja greatly enjoys Hoopa-U breaking down special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Assault Vest Gallade and in return can outspeed and check threats such as Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, the Landorus formes, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant with options like Ice Beam and Sludge Wave. Hisuian Samurott and Bisharp can provide speed control with Sucker Punch picking off faster targets like physical Dragapult and Choice Specs Flutter Mane. Hisuian Samurott can also set Spikes with Ceaseless Edge and use Sacred Sword to check Blissey comfortably, while Bisharp can handle Fairy-types like Hatterene and Clefable. Sableye packs a helpful Fighting immunity, enabling it to safely come in on the likes of Sneasler and Hisuian Lilligant and hinder them with Will-O-Wisp. Sableye can also use Encore to trap walls like Articuno and Clodsire into their recovery options, allowing Hoopa-U to get onto the field safely.

Hoopa-U, when paired with an Assault Vest, can leverage its incredible special defense enabling it to come in on threats like Kyurem and Heatran and check them. [feel like we can come in stronger on this intro, still a strong mix wallbreaker as well.] Psychic and Psyshock handles Poison- and Fighting-types like Toxapex and Iron Hands for its teammates with Psychic being able to OHKO Galarian Weezing while Psyshock removes Flutter Mane after Stealth Rock. Knock Off cripples special walls attempting to come in such as Alolan Muk, Tornadus-T, and Articuno by removing their held items making it much easier for Hoopa-U and teammates like Greninja to wear them down. Focus Blast slams Steel- and Dark-types like Archaludon, Heatran, and Ting-Lu. [0 SpA Hoopa-Unbound Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 172-204 (33.4 - 39.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO that is not slamming sir and we are taking a shitty trade back via eq. Add in darkrai instead] Finally Thunderbolt handles Water- and Flying-types such as Greninja,[dont really like this option as gren can run u turn. would mention non-U-turn Gren or just pick another example] Pelipper, and Skarmory. The EV Spread given allows Hoopa-U to outspeed Timid Magnezone while only having a 2.7% chance of being 2HKOed by Choice Scarf Flutter Mane's Moonblast after a Spike.

Hoopa-U greatly appreciates support for Mandibuzz to make it up for its frail physical defense with it being capable of checking threats like Choice Scarf Great Tusk, Scizor, and Ogerpon-W along with pivoting Hoopa-U in safely with U-turn. [would mention excadrill as a threat mandi checks for hoopa-u, sand ground is pretty dumb for hoopa-u + teammates] Ting-Lu can provide entry hazard support helping to wear down would be switch ins like Corviknight and Assault Vest Gallade along with its Ground typing making it great at checking Raging Bolt and Kleavor. Choice Band Meowscarada gives a strong breaking partner be able to check Ground- and Water-types such as Ting-Lu, Swampert, and Hisuian Samurott with Flower Trick while also being capable of using Triple Axel to handily check Gliscor and Dragonite. Choice Scarf Greninja greatly enjoys Hoopa-U breaking down special walls like Hisuian GoodraAlolan Muk and Assualt Vest Gallade and in return can outspeed and check threats such as Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, the Landorus Formes, Enamorus and Iron Valiant with options like Ice Beam and Sludge Wave. Hisuian Samurott and Bisharp can provide Speed control in Sucker Punch being able to pick off faster targets like physical Dragapult and Choice Specs Flutter Mane. Hisuian Samurott can also set Spikes with Ceaseless Edge and use Scared Sword to check special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey comfortably while Bisharp can handle Fairy-types like Hatterene and Clefable. Sableye can come in on Fighting-types such as Sneasler and Hisuian Lilligant and spread burns with Will-O-Wisp making them unable to check Hoopa-U later [would redo this half of the sentence. would just generalize its fighting immunity + hindering physical threats via wisp.] alongside using Encore to trap defensive walls like Articuno and Clodsire into their recovery options enabling Hoopa-U to get onto the field safely.
