SV OU Hydreigon bulky offence(?)

[AveNacaroni]

Hello, Smogon forums!

This is my first post here. I'm just asking for feedback for this competitive team I built Hydreigon around. (This was the first team I didn't build for funsies, so I'd really appreciate suggestions!)

I've had success with this team in mid-ladder, but I do struggle with Iron Moth in general.

Here's the team:

Hydreigon @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Nasty Plot
• Draco Meteor
• Flash Cannon
• Flamethrower
  -Mon I built the team around. NP is an amazing set up move that can set up one slower mons. Tera Steel gives me only two weaknesses to Fire and Fighting, which can be dealt with by other teammates. Flash Cannon for Fairy Coverage, and Flamethrower to catch steel-type mons off guard.

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

• Stealth Rock
• Earthquake
• Stone Edge
• U-turn
  -Lando is just a good mon in general. Intimidate punishes physical switch-ins, U-Turn for safe pivoting, and SR for free hazards. Tera Water for better matchups against Iron Moth, and Water and Ice-types in general.

Rillaboom @ Choice Band
Ability: Grassy Surge
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Grassy Glide
• Wood Hammer
• U-turn
• Knock Off
  -Grassy terrain provides Hydreigon with extra recovery. Rillaboom is also an offensive staple because of Grassy Glide, item removal, and Wood Hammer can threaten even resists every now and then.

Iron Moth @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 124 Def / 132 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

• Fiery Dance
• Sludge Wave
• Dazzling Gleam
• Substitute
  -Offensive threat that removes Hydreigon's checks like Fairy-types with Sludge Wave, and Dragon-types with Dazzling Gleam. Sub gives opportunities to set up.

Gholdengo @ Air Balloon
Ability: Good as Gold
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 Spe
Bold Nature

• Hex
• Thunder Wave
• Recover
• Make It Rain
  -I consider him my mvp most battles. Thunder Wave to slow down opponents for Hydreigon's somewhat lacking 98 speed, and isn't there just for support since he has hex and make it rain for offensive prescence.

Zamazenta @ Leftovers
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 Spe
Jolly Nature

• Iron Defense
• Body Press
• Crunch
• Heavy Slam
  -Standard IronPress as a Physical check for mons that could threaten my physically frail teammates. It gets walled sometimes tho...

Ty in advance!! :)

Team looks decent but, the post's probably gonna be locked because you're missing the 3 minimum lines of description for each pokémon, I'd recommend editing the post and adding them to avoid getting it locked.

Most of em have 1-2 lines of description and not 3, tip for this, add why you added the mon and why the chosen set (also grassy terrain does not give recovery to hydreigon :P)
