Teambuilding

Hydreigon is one of the best pokemon in metagame with that huge special attack,nice stats everywhere and a gigantic movepool.

Doublade has awesome type syenrgy with hydreigon.

Aerodactyl mega is an excellent late game cleaner for the team as it can sweep a weakend team clean.

Empoleon is a very good stealth rock setter and special attacker at the same time.It also has pretty good type synergy with mega aerodactyl.

The electric immunity poke of the team.It's true that nidoqueen has less offensive presence than it's counterpart but it has more bulk for HP ice.

Forms a u-turn core with hydreigon as well as being a physical threat for the team's physical attacker need.

Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- U-turn
- Fire Blast
- Dark Pulse

Hydreigon is a freaking dark dragon with monstrous movepool,special attack and nice bulk making it a S Rank threat for UU.Draco Meteor hits really hard toasting pokes around 80/80/80 bulk with a hit.Dark Pulse for STAB and FB for steels as well as stuff like shaymin.U-Turn for scouting and one of the must have if the scarf user gets it.Speaking of scarf,choice scarf hydreigon seems to be the best hydreigon of every sets.

Doublade @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Iron Head
- Sacred Sword

Doublade is a threatening un evolved threat with an incredible typing,massive defensive with eviolite and a nice special attack.SD+Shadow sneak can pick off frail mons.Iron Head is the main sweeping move here while sacred sword has no resists in the game.

Aerodactyl @ Aerodactylite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Aerial Ace
- Ice Fang
- Thunder Fang

Aerodactyl is the late game cleaner of the team with that 135 atk and 150 speed.Stone Edge and aerial aces has STAB while ice fang and thunder fang has bolt beam coverage.3 of this set gets tough claw boosted so aerodactyl also makes great use of tough claw with this set.

Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 4 Def
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Flash Cannon

Empoleon can set up stealth rock for the team and is also a great special attacker.Scald for STAB and has that 30%burn chance.Fire types immune burn but who cares when they are taking massive damage from it.SR for a hazard and ice beam for grass types as well as non focus blast/superpower hydreigon.Flash Cannon for the newly popular fairies like florges and gardevoir.

Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Sludge Wave

Nidoqueen is a very threatening special attacker and is also the electric resist mon of the team.It's coverage is amazing having bolt beam,earth power and sludge wave at arsenals.252 HP means that nidoqueen can survive raikou's HP ice and stuff like that.

Mienshao @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Knock Off

Mienshao is a great physical attacker of the team.With it's hit and run nature,regenerator is amazing especially as this team lacks hazard control.Fake Out can even end some frail weakend mon's life with ahit.HJK has damn good power while u-turn for scouting and knock off for item removal.

Nice team but there are a few things you can change to make it more effective while also keeping most of the same mons.

Aerodactyl only needs 136 speed to outspeed everything relevent, which allows you to put the rest in hp. As for attacks, crunch>thunderfang and either roost/taunt/hone claws over ice fang as it doesn't really hit anything that edge/ace don't.

Nidoqueen should run enough speed to hit 220 and stealth rocks>thunderbolt.

Empoleon is kinda the odd guy out but can still run either a 252hp/252 sp. Atk assault vest set or even 3attack life orb with defog. But since none of your walls really have recovery, empoleon might want to be replaced by a wishpasser like florges or vapoeron. Vape can handle fires/pass bigger wishes but florges is better for taking hits.

Cool team! I have a few pointers though...
1. Timid nature on hydra. I know he ls running u turn, but its for momentum not damage. A fully invested dark pulse does the same damage as an univested u turn to celebi. But, the 10% drop in physical bulk is important...
2. Doublade is okay, but its worn down very easily and with mega doom and darm in the tier, it makes things inredibly difficult. Perhaps banded hera would help. Banded close combat 3hko most florges and if its statused , a 2hko. You could run sleep talk to absorb status as well.
3. Aerodactyl is good, but your movepool is lacking. Youre better off with edgequake with a coverage move in crunch or aerial ace. Aerial ace is great stab, but crunch hits slowbro hard. For the last slot you have some options. You could run hone claws to sweep, defog for hazards, roost for longevity, etc. I highly recommemd switching to adamant once mega mane gpes to ou
3. Now, empoleon is okay. I would recommend either make this a fully sp def set with sr, scald, defog, roar,
4. Nidoqueen has power, but loses speed. Mega stoise and chandy are right there in speed as well. I would recpmmend nidoking to just to check them since specs chandy hits hard.
5. No fake out on shao. I would actually recommend either scarf on shao to check moxie mence. Stone edge over fake out, or hp ice is okay. If you dont want 2scarfets then have hydra be specs and blow stuff up
