Hi everyone, I come again with a new team that I would like some rate, I wanted a team that runs Specs Hydreigon, being a powerful wallbreaker in the tier, and I made a Volt Turn team.
The Team (Click to see)
Now a little explanation of each mon
Hydreigon: Mainly works as a huge wallbreaker with Choice specs, Draco Meteor to make as many damage as posible to non steel or fairy mons, Dark pulse I don´t have to explain this move, Fire blast to check on Steel types switch ins, and U-turn to pivot on annoying fairy types and bring safe Beedrill or Cobalion to check them. Can be used as an early or late game sweeper.
Beedrill-M (Didn´t find the Mega evolved sprite :c ): Offensive check to Fairy types that annoy Hydreigon to spam Draco Meteor or Dark Pulse, also can bring safe Hydreigon or other mon with U-Turn, Standar set with U-turn, Poison Jab, Drill Run for steel types (That also annoy Hydreigon) and knock off to spam on a switch, like Hippowdown's leftovers or an Eviolite from Gligar and then use U-Turn.
Zeraora: I added Zeraora to continue with the idea of a volt turn, and makes a good core with Beedrill, tbh I never liked this mon at all, it seems (to me) kind of useless already having M-Nectric and Rotom-H on the tier, Plasma Fist and Volt Switch as 2 useful stabs, Close Combat for the Dark types on the tier (being a common type in the UU metagame) and steel types, Grass Knot mainly for hippowdown, that 2HKO it, I preffered to run Expert Belt instead of LO because Zeraora is too weak to chip damage (SR and Sand from hippowdown being almost everywhere) and that damage combined with LO recoil, Zeraora will die quickly, also can work as a Flying resist (Althought it is a cat, it doesn't have 7 lives xd)
Cobalion: The SR setter of the team and also a Scizor check with Rocky Helmet, also check Fairy Types with Stab Iron Head, I was kind of undecided if run Taunt + Rocky Helmet or SD + Z Fight, I preffered Taunt + Rocky, to avoid Defog Users to remove SR, and prevent Set Up mons like Reuniclus, also my team is kind of weak against Scizor, so Rocky Helmet punish it when uses U-Turn or try to spam BP, also can be used as a hard counterplay to Hydreigon.
Gligar: Entry Hazard remover and Ground Type to prevent M-Nectric ans Rotom-H to easily spam Volt Switch, standar Gligar set, 9 ivs on Speed to be outspeed by opposing Gligar, in order to know what the other player is going to bring and take advantage of that (I learned about this in other post) EQ as an useful Stab to spam, and also a defensive check to most of the steel and Fighting types on the tier, and a shield to opposing U-Turn users like Scizor or Beedrill.
Infernape: Ok, when u build an UU team you need and speed control, most of the time I use as a speed control Scarf Hydreigon/Krookodile or Aerodactyl-M, and on this team already having a Mega Slot and hydreigon with other set it was difficult to choose a good speed control, I decided to run Scarf Nape, it is an offensive check to scizor and also work as a revenge killer, Flare Blitz and CC as mainly stabs, U -Turn for momentum, specially with Latias that is a check to Nape, Gunk Shot to have another way to deal with Fairys, also with the combination Flare Blitz and Close Combat chan check basically any steel type in the tier. Also it could work as a late game sweeper.
Scizor: It can be a big deal to switch in on it, taking in count that my best defensive check is Cobalion, and scizor most of the times carry superpower to deal with steel types, then it can easily spam BP, even if it runs Quick Attack can deal with Nape and Zeraora.
Celebi: NP + Dazzling Gleam can destroy Hydreigon that is Celebi's check on the teeam taking in count that runs specs and not scarf to outspeed, also if it runs Dazzling Gleam I dont have a direct switch in, maybe just Cobalion but it also fears Earth Power.
Nidoking: In my experience playing UU, I noticed that most of the teams lacks on a direct switch in on Nidoking, fat Special defense mons like Florges and Sylveon fear Sludge wave, steel types fear ground stab, even inmune to ground mons like Latias or Hydreigon fear an Ice beam, my team also lacks on a direct switch in.
Hope to recieve a good rate for the team, be free to change whatever u want, Ty.

Now a little explanation of each mon
THREAT LIST
Hope to recieve a good rate for the team, be free to change whatever u want, Ty.
-> 
- So I decided to change Beedrill-Mega to a Scizor here. I used a slightly less standard Bulky Buginium Scizor, the Special Defence and HP EVs let you live a +1 Gigavolt Havoc from Latias and a +2 Shattered Psyche from Celebi, while otherwise maximising your Attack, with 4 Speed to outspeed Alomomola. This gives you an actual swap in to Celebi and Latias compared to Beedrill-Mega, while also not being easily pursuit trapped like Beedrill was. Between Celebi and Hydreigon, this also perfectly covers all possible Celebi sets, as Scizor checks Dazzling Gleam and Z-Leaf Storm variants and Hydreigon checks HP Fire Variants. Standard Bulky Buginium Scizor moveset, provides you a set up sweeping win condition that you didn't have before, while still providing u-turn for momentum. EV Spread could be changed on this pokemon to suit whatever Speed benchmarks you would like, or potentially drop some of the Special Defence too if you like.
-> 
- So I decided to change Zeraora to Manectric-Mega to make use of the free Mega slot now, while filling basically a very similar role. This provides you an additional means of checking Scizor, and due to HP Grass, will allow you to cause trouble to stall by stopping quagsire volt blocking you. A slightly bulkier spread was chosen which you can see in the importable, which I took from vivalospride's RMT, which allows you to outspeed Base 115s like Starmie and Houndoom-Mega, while maintaining the same Special Attack as a standard set. This allows it to better check the pokemon It is meant to, and in particular makes your Sharpedo-Mega matchup more tolerable, as Intimidate will allow you to lower its attack, and it will nearly always survive (87.5% of the time) an earthquake from Full after Stealth Rocks and 2 Spikes, and will always tank non-eq variants.
-> 
- I decided to change your Scarf Infernape to a Scarf Rotom-Heat. While this is a very uncommon set, It provides some key roles in the new version of the team. As an unexpected scarfer, you are likely to be able to trick the enemy into believing Hydreigon is Scarfed, which will allow you to lure certain pokemon and Trick them to cripple them. This completes the added stall matchup for the team, and with HP Ice as the 4th move this allows you to also stop Gligar volt blocking you. With trick added, tricking a Blissey will allow your Hydreigon to break the stall, tricking a Quagsire will allow your Scizor to put in a lot more work, and tricking a Gligar will make it much harder for it to volt block your Manectric due to taking much more damage from Overheat, while also being able to lure a Gligar with HP Ice allowing your manectric to be unblockable completely. Scarf also allows you to outspeed Moltres to Volt on it first before it roosts, which can catch Moltres off guard, especially as you will do more damage with Max SpA (around 70-80% on offensive) , and it may well try and roost to get a free heal and lower the Volt Switch damage. 248 Speed EVs were chosen as It will allow you to underspeed other rotom-heat's after you have tricked away your choice scarf. Thunderbolt is another option over HP Ice on this set, as it allows you to better deal with pokemon that can roost off the volt switch damage otherwise, but you lose the lure.
