A Sticky Web team with Mewtwo.
Explosion is favored to punish passive maneuvers from Toxic + Defog Ho-Oh and Toxic + Defog Giratina.
Further, it facilitates elimination of opposing Smeargle if Sticky Web was not set owing to paralysis.
168 Attack enables Explosion to destroy Mega Salamence's, Zygarde's, Kyurem-Black's, and Zekrom's Substitutes.
Own Tempo proscribes interference from Salamence's Intimidate.
Mind Plate ensures longevity and a respectable chance to annihilate defensive Ho-Oh with +2 Psystrike.
Primal Kyogre survives Adamant Zacian-C's Wild Charge and Jolly Zacian-C's Wild Charge after Stealth Rock.
Tera Stellar Marshadow permits for this wondrous interaction:
252+ Atk Life Orb Tera Stellar Marshadow Close Combat vs. 32 HP / 8 Def Yveltal: 377-445 (94 - 110.9%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
The remainder is standard.
Be verily cautious of Toxic Spikes.

came up with this team in 5 minutes.
Weird ass scarfdon semistall
Originally a Toxic Spikes team, I swapped out Eternatus from Fezandipiti to accomplish something similar with wearing them down with toxic while also having more pivot support.

CYCLIZAR OFFENSE 
Flashbacks to NDFL II with Shed Tail Scarf Cyclizar. Combine it with Shadow Shield from Lunala and a lot of Pokemon become almost complete setup fodder for it, like Glimmora, Zygarde, and support Arceus formes. The combination of Primal Kyogre and Yveltal lets us anti-lead Primal Groudon pretty nicely (Yveltal into the Precipice Blades, Kyogre into the Overheat/Rock Tomb). Yveltal + Lunala gives us a better matchup against Stall too. Tera Flying Yveltal is neat for Arceus-Fairy, although any Tera Type would work. Primal Groudon is needed for a Zacian-C answer, and to provide Stealth Rock, while Zacian-C itself is needed for Extreme Killer Arceus and faster threats like Marshadow.

GDarm Dual Pivot Offense 
Wanted mostly to toe the line between offense/BO while still having a good matchup into webs. I wanted to build around the core of GDarm and Mega Diancie. This is a decently good anti-offense core, completely shutting down Smeargle and OHKOing common offense staples, such as Zacian and Eternatus (with Gdarm). Then, I added Fezandipiti, for it can check and pivot out on many special threats. Deoxys is Tera Ghost to provide an out against EKiller Arceus. At this time, I had 5 mons on the squad, and it seemed weak to a lot of physical threats like DD Arceus-Ground, Mega Salamence, and, of course, Ultra Necrozma. I wanted to slot in an answer that still had bulk, but was a threat in its own right. Dragon Dance Zygarde fits the bill, but maybe Coil would be better here? No removal does suck, but smart play with Mega Diancie will hopefully curb that issue. In summary, pivot in your main threats and avoid hazards like the plague.

This is similar to Sami's Arceus-Ground + Wallbreaker Primal Kyogre Webs team (it's on the National Dex Ubers sample teams page).
However, my team instead uses Ribombee (rather than Shuckle).
I would rather use Ribombee for shutting down opposing Sticky Web leads (especially, but not only Smeargle).
Also, use Marshadow (rather than Zacian-C) to check Extreme Killer Arceus.
This team's Marshadow has Hidden Power Ice for dealing with Zygarde and Mega Salamence.

I vote for Team 1
And the winner is... Mind Plate Mewtwo HO by SIARFN!
Next Pokemon is...
Calyrex-I cements itself as one of the tier's best wallbreakers due to its immense power and spammable STAB move. It also has outstanding bulk, making it a solid trading tool against Dragon Dance Zygarde and Extreme Killer Arceus. Additionally, it may also be used on hyper offense teams, such as Trick Room or more standard HO teams, with its Offensive Trick Room set for the latter. How will you build around it? Voting will start Sunday 12th of October.
