[SET COMMENTS]
* Psychic hits Poison-types like Pecharunt and Fighting-types like Urshifu-R, while Hyperspace Fury hits foes like Dragapult and Skeledirge.
* Hyperspace Fury is useful because it ignores Spiky Shield from Ogerpon-W and Protect from other Custap Berry Pokemon.
* Gunk Shot helps against Grass-types like Leech Seed Ogerpon-W and Whimsicott. It can also reliably hit Dark-types like Darkrai.
* The HP and Defense investment helps Hoopa-U survive a Play Rough from Ogerpon-W, and the Speed EVs let it outspeed Donphan, but be careful because it has a chance to OHKO Hoopa-U with Earthquake. The remaining EVs are in Attack for maximum damage.
* Against SubSeed Ogerpon-W, always use Gunk Shot until it is in range of Hyperspace Fury.
* Pair Hoopa-U with something that can win against bulky Steel-types like Corviknight, Hisuian Goodra, and Registeel because Hyperspace Fury doesn't do enough damage, and they can KO it in return or use Iron Defense. Some good Pokemon for role that are Smack Down Landorus, Ursaluna-B, and Volcarona.

QC

Custap (Hoopa-Unbound) @ Custap Berry

Custap Berry instead of Custap on the name for naming conventions.

Tera Type: Psychic

Removing this line is probably for the best.

Psychic and Hyperspace Fury are both strong STAB moves, and do at least neutral damages to the majority of the metagame, outside of Dark-type Pokémons and Klefki.

Why are you using them though. What are they specifically hitting? Some examples would be good here.

Hyperspace Fury is useful as it ignore the Protects-like and Substitute, as foes can easily be in range of it, and use Protect to ignore the Custap boost.

Once again, examples. Also, Custap Berry over Custap again.

Gunk shot is used for Fairy-types like Primarina

196+ Atk Hoopa-Unbound Gunk Shot vs. 248 HP / 152 Def Primarina: 346-408 (95.3 - 112.3%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
This is not reliable.

and Sylveon

196+ Atk Hoopa-Unbound Gunk Shot vs. 232 HP / 252+ Def Sylveon: 306-360 (78.6 - 92.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Even more not reliable.

It also does neutral damages to the aforementioned Dark-types.

Like who?

Be careful about Magician, being able to stole the foes items after you eat the Custap Berry.

Does this matter in any matchups? If not, I'd consider removing it.

Not giving the 1/2 yet, I'll take another look after you've implemented this.

 

[bellchime]

Fighting types like Annihilape

Bulky Band can OHKO you, pushing you to use Endure t1. It can also use Outrage to 2HKO you, and Psychic doesn't OHKO. It's not the most reliable example here.

Hyperspace Fury hit foes like Iron Crown, Metagross, Dragapult and Skeledirge

Weakness Policy Metagross just wins.

Hyperspace Fury is useful as it ignore the Protects-like and Substitute from the likes of Gouging Fire's Burning Bulwark

Gouging Fire just nukes you with Outrage, so this never really becomes relevant. SubSeed Wellspring is a decent option though.

It also does neutral damages to the aforementioned Dark-types like Darkrai and Urshifu.

I'd rephrase this to take out the neutral damage thing. Also, you do not beat Urshifu reliably with Gunk Shot.

The HP and Defense investment help Hoopa-U to survive to a Play Rough from Ogerpon-W, EVs in Speed make it outspeed Donphan, the missing EVs are in Atk for a maximum of damages.

This is fine, but I'd want you to note that it's not super reliable into Donphan bc Earthquake has a chance to just OHKO you, but it's usually worth to run this anyways because it's only 16 Speed EVs.

If you are facing Iron Valiant, both Psychic and Gunk Shot can OHKO it, so click Gunk Shot on the first turn, followed by a Psychic to avoid the Disable. This way, you can prevent a Gunk Shot miss.

I'd just remove this. Protect into Spirit Break from SpDef beats this most of the time because Hyperspace can't kill through Protect. Defensive sets still have a roll for Valiant to live struggle after Gunk as well, so they can just Moonblast twice to win.

I'll take one more look after you implement

 

[bellchime]

and do at least neutral damages to the majority of the metagame, outside of Dark-type Pokémons like Urshifu and Darkrai.

this feels pretty irrelevant because you lose to quite a lot of things you hit neutrally (some due to the defense drop too) but ye

* Against Haxorus, use Endure during the first turn, as they don’t know your set and will usually run First Impression.

remove this they should be clicking outrage with unnerve

* Pair it with something that can win against bulky Steel-type like Corviknight, Goodra-Hisui and Registeel.

include why. provide examples.

 

[bellchime]

because Hyperspace Fury don't do enough damages and they can KO it in return or using Iron Defense. Some good Pokemon for that are Gouging Fire and Volcarona.

I would not use Gouging here when your list includes Goodra. I think Smack Down Landorus (and Lando-T) and Smack Down Ursaluna-Bloodmoon are better here.

1/2, looks good after this.

* Psychic and Hyperspace Fury are both strong STAB moves, Psychic hitting Poison-types like Pecharunt and Fighting types like Urshifu-Rapid Strike, while Hyperspace Fury hit foes like Iron Crown, Dragapult and Skeledirge. I'm hesitant to put Iron Crown here, as Defensive WP 50/50s Custap Endure stuff.
* Hyperspace Fury is useful as it ignore the Protects-like and Substitute from the likes of Ogerpon-Wellspring's Spiky Shield as foes can easily be in range of it, and use Protect to ignore the Custap Berry boost. I know what you're trying to say, but this sentence reads very poorly. Try to rewrite it. Ping me on discord for help if needed. Also add what might try to use Protect to beat normal Custap sets.
* Gunk Shot help against Grass-type like Leech Seed Ogerpon-W and Leech Seed Whimsicott. You can also reliably hit Dark-types like Darkrai and opposing Hoopa-U.
* The HP and Defense investment help Hoopa-U to survive to a Play Rough from Ogerpon-W, EVs in Speed make it outspeed Donphan, but be careful because it hasve chances to OHKO you with Earthquake. The remaining EVs are in Atk for a maximum of damages.
* Against Substitute + Leech Seed Ogerpon-W, always use Gunk Shot until it is in range of Hyperspace Fury.
* Pair it with something that can win against bulky Steel-type like Corviknight, Goodra-Hisui and Registeel, because Hyperspace Fury don't do enough damages and they can KO it in return or using Iron Defense. Some good Pokemon for that are Smack Down Landorus and Ursaluna Bloodmoon and Volcarona.

Implement then 2/2

and use Protect to ignore the Custap Berry boost. (i assume you mean "they attempt to use Protect to ignore the Custap Berry boost.", also if possible include examples.)

Leech Seed Whimsicott (which whims isn't Leech Seed? specs isn't real, just remove Leech Seed)

and opposing Hoopa. (wouldn't you rather go for Hyperspace Fury over Gunk Shot? especially since you're tied for slowest set and stuff like fast Band gets OHKOed by Custap Hyperspace Fury.)

qc 2/2

 

[bern]
