Team Building Process
(All of these sets are really standard but im gonna explain them anyways)
I stumbled upon this core while looking at the USUM OU Cores thread. Mawile and Zygarde make a very nice core together.
They have very good type synergy and Mawile can do massive damage to Pokemon that annoy Zygarde like Skarmory and Celesteela with Thunder Punch. Opposing Dragons and possibly nailing Lando on the switch with Ice Punch. Ferrothorn, Tangrowth, and other grass types with Fire Fang.
While Zygarde can take on Fire and Steel types that force Mawile out. Zygarde can also Set-Up with Substitute and Dragon Dance after Mawile has wreaked havoc on the opposing team.
When using Sub DD Zygarde having a Toxic Spike user to go along with it is very important so i chose Greninja. It is a suicide lead utilizing Spikes and Toxic Spikes. It can taunt defogers coming in. And has Ice Beam to hit common defogers pretty hard such as Zapdos, Latios, Landorus-Therian, etc.
Next i decided to put Tapu Koko on the team as it can act as a Pivot and extra help for Skarmory, Celesteela, and Toxapex and it can usually put a few dents in teams. Thunderbolt hits really hard, Volt Switch can gain you some momentum, Dazzling Gleam is for when your opponent has an electric-immune Pokemon, HP Ice is to hit ground types that wan't to come in on your electric moves, mainly Landorus-T.
Celesteela can really help out the team with Landorus-Therian (there's a running theme here) and Tapu Bulu which is one of Zygarde's best counters. It gives the team a wall, and overall good type synergy. Leftovers + Leech Seed + Protect helps keep Celesteela at relatively good Hp over the course of the game. Heavy Slam is it's strongest STAB move and Flamethrower is there to hit steel types that want to come in especially Ferrothorn since it is immune to Leech Seed.
Tapu Fini helps out with Landorus-T (back at it again) and also gives the team defog and taunt support. It is my only Fighting Resist and only thing can take a strong water hit cause of it's impressive bulk, it also has one of the best defensive typings in competitive. Surf gives it a strong water STAB, Nature's Madness can half the Hp on bulky pokemon that come in, Defog removes entry hazards, Taunt can stop set-up or some stall.
I need help polishing this team up, input is greatly appreciated :)
