Voting
The Chansey can't really do anything to Kyurem and gets punished for clicking half it's moveset vs Mega Diancie thanks to Magic Bounce.
The Zeraora needs a work up to break the core which is a bit worse than the rest
The Medicham is really solid, but Bullet Punch MMedi feels way worse for more general teams with bulky waters and the like, Medicham also underspeeds Magnezone here so with chip it can be taken out by said Zone, or just die if Crit.
The Urshifu is pretty solid, but has a 50/50 if faced with Diancie with the rest alive, since Surging does basically nothing to Kyurem, and CC can't OHKO Diancie, being a roll vs Mega Diancie when Jolly. Running Adamant scarf loses out on outpacing things like +1 Kyurem, Lele and Swift Swim Swampert. But Jolly also has poor damage output compared to banded sets or adamant, so it feels a bit bad either way.
The Aerodactyl seems the most solid, Adamant can outspeed all and is punished only by x2 SEdge miss or a miss and low roll. Jolly has more chances to be punished. Adamant means under pacing the likes of +1 Gyarados, +1 Blaziken, Slush Rush Arctozolt, Zeraora and Mega Lopunny, which you really want to be outpacing. Diancie needs to mega to OHKO Aero though, and that makes it a pretty favourable roll, but a less favourable roll on Kyurem.

Submitting Volcarona
:ss/Volcarona:

Volcarona (F) @ Buginium Z
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 200 HP / 184 Def / 124 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Flamethrower
- Bug Buzz
- Roost

Volcarona can basically eat the core alive alone. After 1 QD it OHKO's the entire core alone, outspeeding everything, and can set up on everything outside of unfavourable RNG.
252+ SpA Tapu Lele Psyshock vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona in Psychic Terrain: 208-246 (57.6 - 68.1%) -- not a KO
Lele can't OHKO with a Psyshock and Volcarona sets up a QD on it.
+1 0 SpA Volcarona Savage Spin-Out (175 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Lele: 324-382 (115.3 - 135.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 SpA Bug Buzz then OHKO's Lele 100% of the time.
While Lele can taunt Volcarona, standard Offensive Volcarona sets will outpace Lele and set up a QD ahead of the taunt, so Lele is generally discouraged from clicking it as if they taunt vs offensive volcarona, they often lose out to it bar a high roll, vs double psyshock almost always beating offensive volcarona sets.

252 Atk Protean Greninja Gunk Shot vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona: 177-208 (49 - 57.6%) -- 95.7% chance to 2HKO
Greninja also can't OHKO with a Gunk Shot even through Protean
+1 0 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Greninja: 277-327 (97.1 - 114.7%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
+1 Flamethrower then has a good chance to OHKO in return.
+1 0 SpA Volcarona Bug Buzz vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Greninja: 554-654 (194.3 - 229.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 Bug Buzz always KO's if it swaps in off the back of Mawile or Lele KO.

252+ Atk Mawile-Mega Knock Off vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona: 75-89 (20.7 - 24.6%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
252+ Atk Mawile-Mega Play Rough vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona: 77-91 (21.3 - 25.2%) -- 0.1% chance to 4HKO
252+ Atk Mawile-Mega Sucker Punch vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona: 81-96 (22.4 - 26.5%) -- 24.8% chance to 4HKO
Mawile does nothing neutrally vs Volcarona, especially thanks to Z reducing Knock Off's damage.
+2 252+ Atk Mawile-Mega Sucker Punch vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona: 161-190 (44.5 - 52.6%) -- 22.3% chance to 2HKO
+2 Sucker doesn't hurt much either so you can QD on Mawile.
+1 0 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 92 HP / 0 SpD Mawile-Mega: 392-464 (148.4 - 175.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 Flamethrower then drops Mega Mawile.

252+ Atk Mawile-Mega Sucker Punch vs. 200 HP / 184 Def Volcarona: 81-96 (22.4 - 26.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Even in a world where Lele Psyshock's to chunk Volc and Mawile comes in and can use Sucker, it doesn't get a KO.

V create kills lele and mmaw, bolt strike kills gren. Gren isn't an issue because it can't hit you super effectively, while psychic terrain blocks sucker punch. You do have a good chance of taking a gunk shot followed by a sucker punch if needed though (On average, gunk shot does 50, sucker does 46).

Spread Notes: Thunder is for slowbro, focus blast is for heatran. Even if you are very desperate for the better accuracy and hit opposing victini don't use HP ground as it comes at a great cost of not being able to hit hydreigon super effectively and mega tyranitar as hard as focus blast does , which is key as both of them are able to deal massive damage with their dark STAB back while tanking hits due to advantageous typing and great natural bulk.

Come in on tapu lele(make sure it's chipped slightly by let's say like 2 rounds of rocks, otherwise it's gonna get really dicey), celebrate and then click buttons. 77% is a risk that's worth risking as usually not a lot of teams are came properly prepared dealing with this set anwyays, which is devestating.

+1 252 SpA Victini Blue Flare vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Lele: 235-277 (83.6 - 98.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

So yes this requires stealth rock not being up(because they can just pivot a few times between gren and maw as you make incorrect predictions even if you get the full terrain turns active).

Must be on the viability rankings. Bullet Punch + acrobatics + hp ice also OHKOs (Does at least 36 + 50 + 40 = 126%)

Celebrate on mega scizor, then we watch everything turn into dust by blue flare. Only unburdened Hawlucha is fast enough to revenge kill and yet we are still able to take a hit and retaliate.

+1 252 SpA Victini Blue Flare vs. 164 HP / 0 SpD Scizor-Mega: 1060-1252 (329.1 - 388.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

128+ Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch
vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Victini: 37-44 (16.1 - 19.3%) -- possible 6HKO

128+ Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch
vs. + 1 0 HP / 0 Def Victini: 55-66 (10.8 - 12.9%) -- possible 8HKO

66 + 44 = 110 Max damage taken

+1 252 SpA Victini Blue Flare vs. 0 HP / 132 SpD Hawlucha: 321-378 (108 - 127.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+1 252 SpA Victini Blue Flare
vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tapu Koko: 334-394 (118.8 - 140.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+1 252 SpA Victini Blue Flare
vs. 88 HP / 0 SpD Hawlucha: 385-454 (120.6 - 142.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

110(scizor) + 124(lucha) + 85(stealth rock) = 319(max damage taken) < 341(Max HP)

Essentially, you pivot into Mega Scizor and setup a Subsitute and one Calm Mind; this allows you to not only get enough special attack to somewhat OHKO the entire core but also make yourself immune to any sort of priority (except Water Shuriken) for a good amount of time. After OHKOing Mega Scizor, you gain enough speed to outpace Tapu Koko since it needs to come in before Hawlucha to activate Unburden. Considering you have a chance to not OHKO without using the Z-Move on both Hawlucha and Tapu Koko, you basically want to have it for Hawlucha and because you have a Substitute up, you will survive Tapu Koko. After taking out both Mega Scizor and Tapu Koko, you have enough speed to take out Hawlucha and you've successfully taken out the core with minor chip from Substitute recoil and a potential Bullet Punch.
