[SET]
Choice Scarf (Hoopa-Unbound) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magician
EVs: 48 HP / 192 Atk / 16 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Hyperspace Fury
- Gunk Shot
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt / Rock Tomb

[SET COMMENTS]
* Hyperspace Fury should be used against Cresselia, Dragapult, Serperior, and Pecharunt.
* Gunk Shot is for non-Defensive Ogerpon-W and Meowscarada.
* Focus Blast is for Chien-Pao and Porygon-Z.
* Thunderbolt is for non-Maranga Berry Corviknight, while Rock Tomb is for non-bulky Volcarona.
* The HP and Special Defense EVs let Hoopa-U survive Timid Choice Scarf Porygon-Z's Hyper Beam. Maximum Speed EVs and a Jolly nature allow Hoopa-U to outspeed Modest Choice Scarf Porygon-Z and Dragapult and Speed tie opposing Choice Scarf Hoopa-U. The remaining EVs are in Attack.
* Hoopa-U should use the strongest move it has in most cases. Other cases include trying to outplay a potential Custap Berry foe like Custap Berry Porygon-Z, picking a more accurate move in case two moves can KO, and using Hyperspace Fury to bypass Substitute and Protect.

Maximum Speed EVs and a Jolly nature allow Hoopa-U to outspeed Modest Choice Scarf Porygon-Z and Dragapult. (it's fine if you don't feel like including the mirror but i do think it's worth mentioning otherwise you could be running like 240 spe or som to optimize atk)
potential Custap Berry foe (like? prim? i feel like it's kinda lacking an example)

this is super well done so if you feel like what i said isn't worth adding it's fine, the entire analysis looks great.
qc 2/2
