Gen 9 Showdown! UU Offence

Question

Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Drain Punch
- Play Rough
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance
Your basic Mimikyu. A sweeper. Swords Dance till Disguise is busted then Shadow Sneak if you are slower or Play Rough if you are faster. Drain punch over Leech Life for Coverage. Is there a better item? The rest is good but suggestions are appretiated.

Polteageist-Antique @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stored Power
- Giga Drain
- Shell Smash
- Shadow Ball
My Special Sweeper. This is to deal with a stall team by Shell Smashing and sweeping. Toxic slows it but it has Giga Drain. Immune to Siesmic Toss. It doesn't even need set up. I want to know if there is a better set for it.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Moxie
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Outrage
Bait the thunderbolt and Tera while D-Dancing in thier face. Along with Moxie it has a snowball effect.

Grimmsnarl @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Spirit Break
- Foul Play
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave

Thunder wave support to my team. Taunt is for shutting down set ups like great tusk.

Hawlucha @ Power Herb
Ability: Unburden
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Close Combat
- Sky Attack
- Swords Dance

Its unboosted Sky Attack has a lot of potential. If it Swords Dance on a swith or something Sky Attack is a nuke.

+2 252+ Atk Hawlucha Sky Attack vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 396-466 (115.1 - 135.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Trailblaze
- Swords Dance
- U-turn
My main Revenge Killer. It can set up with swords dance trailblaze. If I am in a tight spot I can Tera Steel and Bullet punch. Really good. Debating a choice band set tho.

Set ups like Great Tusk? I thought Great Tusk was OU.

I have a fair amount of UU experience,  so i'll rate this team shortly.

Answer 1

The team is decent overall, but there are a lot of changes to movesets i'd like to suggest here.

1. Mimikyu
   Drain Punch -> Shadow Claw/Wood Hammer
   Shadow Claw lets you 2hko Tinkaton at +2. With Tera Ghost you can even get an 0hko on it. Wood Hammer lets you 0hko Quagsire, but that's not very important as you already do very well vs Quagsire.
2. Polteageist
   Tera Normal -> Tera Fighting
   Giga Drain -> Tera Blast
   Tera Fighting allows you to 0hko Tyranitar at +2. It can also be used defensively to turn your dark weakness into a resistance.
3. Gyarados
   Tera Ground -> Tera Grass
   Earthquake -> Tera Blast
   Outrage -> Ice Fang
   Tera Grass allows you to 0hko Quagsire and Gastrodon, which otherwise wall or annoy you. Ice Fang hits Grass types like Wo-Chien and Tsareena and 0hkos Salamence.
4. Grimmsnarl
   Spirit Break -> Reflect
   Foul Play -> Light Screen
   Thunder Wave -> Parting Shot
   Screens and Parting Shot both help your set up sweepers to come in and set up much more easily. It's a waste of Grimmsnarl's potential not to use them.
5. Scizor
   Leftovers -> Life Orb
   U-Turn -> Close Combat
   252 HP -> 252 Speed
   Close Combat hits opposing Scizor for an 0hko at +2, 0hkos Bisharp, 0hkos slower Magnezone at +2. 252 Speed lets you outspeed many slower defensive pokemon.
