Strategy Overview

Hoopa appears to be a threatening offensive Pokemon, since it sports a good STAB combination and the highest Special Attack stat in RU. Unfortunately, its Speed and Defense are incredibly lacking, which allows it to be revenge killed and Pursuit trapped easily by Pokemon such as Golisopod, Zygarde-10%, and Drapion. Hoopa's defensive typing also leaves it extremely vulnerable to Pokemon with Dark-type coverage moves like Donphan and Mega Blastoise, which makes it a terrible spinblocker. Mismagius often gives Hoopa immense competition thanks to its much better Speed tier and ability to threaten other playstyles besides balance and stall.
