I think that my team overall is a good team
1st Pokémon. Shaymin can be used as a lead as with seed flare it can big damage while having a big chance to lower the opponent's special defence + with wide lends seed flare will miss less often, the coverage moves can make Shaymin work well in the middle game as well as with dazzling gleam it can hit Pokémon like Hydreigon, Latias, Mega Sharpedo and most other dark type Pokémon. I is the same story for Shaymin's other coverage moves to hit things for super effective damage. I think that Shaymin works best as a special attacker as it gets the best coverage moves on that spectrum as it is quite limited as a physical attacker.
2nd Pokémon. Latias I think is a nice Pokémon on this team as with charm it can lower opponent's attack stat, dragon pulse + psychic are there for good damage and recover is there to last longer. I put charm on Latias because I thought about all of the dark type Pokémon that easily beat Latias, but with charm Latias can last longer again these targets mostly as it doesn't really work against Pokémon with a choice scarf like Hydreigon and Krookodile or with Pokémon with the defiant ability like Bisharp.
3rd Pokémon. This is just a standard Moltres from gen 9 OU but with a few changes. I wanted to revisit the idea of a physically bulky Moltres from gen 9 and put it onto a gen 7 UU team as with this set it can deal well against Scizor and with other physical attacker with it's ability flame body and with will-o-wisp to burn targets to support more frail teammates.
4th Pokémon. Meloetta I think is just a good Pokémon as it hits quite hard with physics especially with a special attack stat of 128, plus some defensive investments to make it a bit more physical bulky to weaker neutral attack as with over 300 hp it can take a few hits. I don't usually see people using meloetta that often in the higher their but this Pokémon can be more useful than expected when facing a duel with another special attacker, take this one example of me using Meloetta in the end game with a duel against Mega Manectric in the replay I shared, I was able to win because of Meloetta's superior special defence and hp stat.
5th Pokémon. Zeraora is just a really strong especially with volt switch for pivoting and plasma fist for big damage + electrium Z to give your opponents that extra shock. When making this set for Zeraora I looked as it's physical move set and I saw that it had better special moves than physical moves overall. So I decided to make it a mix set as I didn't want volt switch todo to little damage so that is why I used the naive nature.
6th Pokémon. I think that Tornadus can be used as a mid game or late game late game clean up Pokémon as hurricane hits quite hard and with damp rock to get more uses out of Tornadus. Tornadus with it's covered moves of dark puls to hit psychic and ghost type Pokémon and also steel type Pokémon. It's other coverage move sludge wave can be used to hit fairy type Pokémon and grass type Pokémon when Tornadus is not in rain.
Also I won against someone who was top ten on the ladder with this team so you can watch it here: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7uu-2469595036?p2
