Flexípedes Bueyes - U-Turn Bulky Offense
I have been working on this team since I was a noob (I still am lol) and it has proven to be timelessly solid. I wanted to build a team around SD Terrakion, who is an underrated threat in OU; with perfect and extremely potent STAB coverage, good speed tier and the ability to set up rocks while scaring out common defoggers, this mon deserved some love.
Mega Scizor is the perfect soulmate for Terrakion because it lures all kinds of birds and fire types for the bull to abuse and can also take on the ground and psychic types. Gastro forms an excellent defensive core with Scizor as it can basically switch in on everything Scizor hates and offers a dead end to those annoying electric types. Torn is my means of hazard control and my Medi switch in. It also offers a needed ground inmunity and more u-turn support. Hoopa is here cuz a team without Hoopa is not a team of mine. Banded Hoopa is here to compensate the set-up reliance of Terrakion when it comes to break, this improves my stall match-up a lot.
Now, Gren is an essential glue for the team, it is the ultimate revenge killer as our host said; it takes care of several set-up sweepers that can overwhelm my defensive core, like Gyarados or Volcarona. Gren also gives me more momentum and coverage that lets me soft potential counters to Terrakion and Hoopa.
(Crucial info: 252 Atk Protean Greninja Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gyarados: 240-284 (72.5 - 85.8%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock)

Note: I run curse on Scizor for added resilience against cheese, but SD is perhaps a better option now that Zyg is gone.
Note 2: I'm not a hazard stacker, but you can run spikes over gunk shot in Gren.
Note 3: Jolly Hoopa is pussy.
