First of all, is this VR threat talking about Bo1 Showdown Ladder or Bo3 Official Tournament play? Because it changes a lot the viability of certain Pokémon, I would like to know this.
About Hawlucha... Why are we talking about Hawlucha's viability in OverUsed in a VGC threat? It makes zero sense. The very small niche that Hawlucha has in the VGC metagame is as a support Pokémon, not as a set-up Pokémon like in OU. You can't set up on anything, as this is a doubles-based format, and there are so many threats for Hawlucha and plenty of Pokémon that do its job in a better way.
First of all, this is kinda a tapu-based format. The only Tapu where Hawlucha does something is Tapu Bulu, and it is the least used one. The other tapus just send Hawlucha to another dimension with Thunderbolt on Koko, Psychic or Moonblast on Lele and Moonblast on Fini. Hawlucha literally loses or does nothing against the top 8 Pokémon in PS usage right now (Landorus-T, Tapu Fini, Cresselia, Charizard, Tapu Koko, Aegislash, Zapdos and Tapu Lele), while Intimidate is heavily used in this metagame, so Hawlucha loses the small offensive presence that it has on the field, because if you use Hawlucha you should do it for its typing; if not, you should use Zapdos or even Tailwind Kartana.
Hawlucha doesn't pair well with any tapu right now, or if it does, there are Pokémon that do that job better, so there should be no reason for using Hawlucha.
Aegislash is not banned in VGC, so Hawlucha is not a good pair for Tapu Lele, as it need something that supports it while does good damage against opposing Metagross or Aegislash. Yes, it does "great" damage against steel and dark type Pokémon, which Lele is not good against, but the most used steel type Pokémon are Aegislash and Metagross, so Hawlucha does little against them. If you want an Unburden support with Lele, just use Accelgor, which is pretty nice as it can KO steel types (apart from Aegislash) with Final Gambit, while it can use Acid Spray to do a lot of damage with Tapu Lele.
Tapu Koko does not need the speed control that Hawlucha offers, as it is a very fast Pokémon. However, you may still use that core, as Fighting-Fairy-Electric is a very good combo, I'm not going to say that it isn't, but you will be doing little damage against opposing Landorus-T and Cresselia.
Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele are more comfortable with Zapdos, as it offers a reliable bulky Electric-type Pokémon, which is really rare, to be honest. Here are some calcs with Misty/Psychic Seed Zapdos:
I'm not going to say that Hawlucha should drop (tho I think so), but it definetely should not rise, is it at Suicune level? I don't think so.
