For what is probably going to be the final time for this Generation, we have our last team to break!!!!
Another juicy team from Synonimous (thanks again (y)), this time featuring a Volcarona and Mega Venusaur core, two very potent Pokemon currently. And of course, to top it all off, we have Dragonium Z Dragonite to clean up any stragglers that the other two miss out on.

Your max recoil is 2 Volcarona Subs. The HP Volcarona has on those is 154. Therefore, your recoil is 51 or 52 or about 16%. This means you could lose to QD + Sub + Sub + Z because of Flare Blitz high roll, but it is unlikely.
80 SpA Venusaur-Mega Sludge Bomb vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Weavile: 141-166 (50.1 - 59%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Basically, you have more SDs than MVenu has charms thanks to Pressure. So you are guaranteed at some point to be +2 attack AND Venusaur can't one shot you, therefore you win because you are fast.
