Choice Scarf Hoopa is an effective wallbreaker and cleaner thanks to its astronomically high Special Attack stat combined with its great STAB moves and solid movepool that lets it threaten common defensive Pokemon such as Galarian Slowbro, Scream Tail, Bronzong, and Wo-Chien. Psyshock is the generally superior Psychic-type move, letting it more easily break through common specially defensive Pokemon like Florges, Gastrodon, and Goodra. Alternatively, Psychic has more power, hitting the likes of Bellibolt, Mudsdale, and Gligar stronger than Psyshock. Focus Blast synergizes well with Hoopa's STAB moves, hitting Dark-types such as Scrafty, Bombirdier, and Wo-Chien that would otherwise hinder Hoopa's offensive progress. Trick is a useful utility move, hampering Pokemon such as Coalossal, Gastrodon, and Milotic that Hoopa would otherwise do lackluster damage to. Tera Fighting further powers up Focus Blast, letting it do things such as 2HKO Bellibolt and Grimmsnarl and potentially OHKO non-Assault Vest Duraludon and Wo-Chien. It also presents amazing defensive benefits, giving Hoopa a resistance to Sucker Punch from Skuntank and Zoroark and a neutrality to Decidueye's Shadow Sneak. Alternatively, Tera Ghost further powers up Shadow Ball, letting Hoopa 2HKO Gligar and Altaria and OHKO Kilowattrel while improving Hoopa's ability to clean late-game.

Choice Scarf Hoopa fits best on offensive teams as both a form of speed control and a fast wallbreaker and capable of overwhelming both offensive and defensive foes alike. Hoopa's STAB moves are resisted by Dark-types, which leaves it vulnerable to being taken advantage of by Pokemon like Scrafty, Skuntank, and Zoroark, relying on the inaccurate Focus Blast to hit them. As a result, Pokemon that can beat Dark-types such as Florges, Paldean Tauros-W, Flamigo, and Heracross make for excellent partners, beating these threats while appreciating Hoopa's ability to break through the likes of Galarian Slowbro, Gligar, and Houndstone. Additionally, these Pokemon appreciate Hoopa's speed control, opening them up to performing other roles. They can also absorb Knock Off, which lets Hoopa both maintain its speed control and its longevity. Entry hazard setters such as Mudsdale, Bombirdier, and Duraludon heavily appreciate Hoopa's capability as a spinblocker while helping chip down foes such as Bellibolt and Rotom-H for Hoopa to 2HKO. The last two also check Decidueye, whose Shadow Sneak would otherwise force Hoopa out. Other wallbreakers such as Decidueye, Flamigo, Tatsugiri, and Zoroark can help wear down checks such as Skuntank, Meloetta, and Grimmsnarl while appreciating Hoopa's high Speed with Choice Scarf.

Choice Scarf Hoopa is an effective wallbreaker and cleaner thanks to its astronomically high Special Attack stat combined with its great STAB moves and solid movepool that lets it threaten common defensive Pokemon such as Galarian Slowbro, Scream Tail, Bronzong, and Wo-Chien. Psyshock is the generally superior Psychic-type move, letting it more easily break through common specially defensive Pokemon like Florges, Gastrodon, and Goodra. Alternatively, Psychic has more power, hitting the likes of Bellibolt, Mudsdale, and Gligar stronger than Psyshock. However, choosing Psychic gives up on the strong hit against the aforementioned special walls. (this is self explanatory) Shadow Ball is a formidable STAB move thanks to its great neutral coverage alongside super-effective hits on common threats such as Galarian Slowbro, Golurk, Scream Tail, and Houndstone. (We don't need to explain unslashed STAB mmoves.) Focus Blast synergizes greatly with Hoopa's STABs, hitting Dark-types such as Scrafty, Bombirdier, and Wo-Chien that would otherwise hinder Hoopa's offensive progress. Trick is a useful utility move, hampering Pokemon such as Farigiraf, Meloetta, and (Farig kinda sucks and is uncommon + Melos unoftentimes run a choice item of their own. Mentioning a Pokemon like Coalossal or Gastro is probably better here.) Milotic that Hoopa would otherwise do lacklustre damage to. Hoopa is a great beneficiary of Terastalization due to the Speed boost from Choice Scarf which gives up ample opportunity to take out would-be checks like Meloetta and Altaria. (self explanatory.) Tera Fighting further powers up Focus Blast, letting it do things such as 3HKO Assault Vest Meloetta, (This seems like too niche of an example and kinda mediocre.) 2HKO Bellibolt and Grimmsnarl, and potentially OHKO Duraludon and Wo-Chien. (Mention how its great defensive benefits; resisting sucker from skunk and zoro or making the sneak from deci natureal is good.) Alternatively, Tera Ghost further powers up Shadow Ball, letting it Hoopa 2HKO Gligar and Altaria and OHKO Kilowattrel.

Choice Scarf Hoopa fits best on offensive teams as a fast wallbreaker (and form of speed control) capable of overwhelming both offensive and defensive foes alike. Hoopa's STABs are both resisted by Dark which leaves it vulnerable to being taken advantage of by Pokemon like Scrafty, Skuntank, and Zoroark, relying on the inaccurate Focus Blast to hit them super effectively. As a result, Pokemon that can beat Dark-types such as Florges, Paldean Tauros-W, Flamigo, and Heracross make for excellent partners, beating these threats (and operating as a Knock Absorber) while appreciating Hoopa's ability to break through the likes of Galarian Slowbro, Gligar, and Houndstone. Entry hazard setters such as Mudsdale, Bombirdier, and Duraludon heavily appreciate Hoopa's capability as a spinblocker while helping chip down foes (such as?) to be more situated for Hoopa to KO. Other wallbreakers such as Decidueye, Flamigo, Tatsugiri, and Zoroark can help wear down checks such as Skuntank, Meloetta, and Grimmsnarl while appreciating Hoopa's high Speed with Choice Scarf.
(Hoopa being speed control really benefits some other pokemon who dont want to be speed control for its team with hoopa and can fulfill other roles instead. For example, Flamigo can run CB and Paldean Tauros-F can also run CB, or Florges can cm. Mentioning some of these is a good idea imo.)

Tera Fighting further powers up Focus Blast, letting it do things such as 2HKO Bellibolt and Grimmsnarl and potentially OHKO Duraludon (the main set for duraludon has changed from spdef to tank, and tank dura dies to regular focus blast with minimal prior chip. something like non-assault vest copperajah is worth mentioning instead.) and Wo-Chien. It also presents amazing defensive benefits, giving Hoopa a resistance to Sucker Punch from Skuntank and Zoroark and a neutrality to Decidueye's Shadow Sneak. Alternatively, Tera Ghost further powers up Shadow Ball, letting Hoopa 2HKO Gligar and Altaria and OHKO Kilowattrel (mention that this helps hoopa clean more reliably.).
