XY UU Mega Altaria is not only DD

Hi guys, after messing around in UU with all the broken stuff and threats, i decided to try to make a team that could have checks to at least the most of them, and it's been working fine for now.

Team Building Process:

Ok the first team members on this team are a core that trys to deal with a lot of threats in the tier, a bronzong-infernape core. what bronzong does, he basically checks and counters mega altaria, mega sceptile, staraptor, zyagarde, mega aerodactyl, dragalge, the nidos, alakazam and mega zam and a lot of other stuff really common in uu atm. bronzong is just setup fodder for volcarona, a huge ass threat that is entirely broken, and that's why i'm running scar infernape to counter every versions of volc. Also they synergyes pretty good seen as zon covers the flyng, ground and psychic weakness that infernape has, wich resists dark and fire for zong.

I also wanted to try out a different set of Mega Altaria, wich is also a very solid switch in to hydreigon once mega evolved and covers the huge dark weakness for bronzong, wich is immune to poison and eats up fairy and steel moves. i didnt want to run the classic dd set, so I'm running a kind of a bulky set with max spa modest and some speed to creep some stuff. It also carries heal bell wich is a nice support move for the team.

Now i needed something to get rd of rocks and check mega beedrill, and also a wish passer, so i went for a gligar - vaporeon core. Pretty standar, nothing too crazy, these are 2 really solid pokemon with great bulk and pivot capability, as well as good support for the team.

Now looking at the team it is pretty defensive and it really doesnt have that much from the offensive side. Also I lose to stall, so i needed some sort of set up sweeper that also carries a good offensive pressure without boosts, and i thought to use the strong as fuck volcarona while it's still in the tier, and without surprise it has won me a lot of games already.

That's the team, it's pretty ok in my opinion it went 10 2 W/L at around 1400-1500 in UU, but i'm sure there is still a lot to improve and of course it has his flaws.
