Hey all, I have stopped by to share some sets I have found to be useful.
Landorus-Therian @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Rock Polish
Just like it is in OU tier, Landorus-T is one of the best Stealth Rock users due to it being able to pressure Defog users like Mega Scizor and others by repeatedly using Supersonic Skystrike. It is also an emergency switch-in to Tapu Koko that does not carry Ice moves which I find to be uncommon due to prevalence of Z-Mirror Move and stuff. Rock Polish is there for breaking havoc early game or late-game cleaning. OHKOing Kyurem-B with Supersonic Skystrike after Stealth Rock is such a thrill.
Cloyster @ Electrium Z / Groudium Z
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast / Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Shell Smash
Cloyster is my most-used spinner in AG teams, and it is p much the same in Ultimate Z where every single team of mine are hyperoffense. It forces hazard setters like Landorus-T, Shuckle, and others to think twice before pressing Stealth Rock or Spikes because Cloyster can boost up and KO next couple 'mons. Electrium Z is aimed at other Water-types (mostly for Tapu Fini and Azumarill), and Groudium Z is a secondary option if one's team doesn't have solid answers for Steel-types. Other selling points of Cloyster are being a sweeper that can get past Mimikyu (which is not named Kyurem-B) and being able to clear away hazards while forcing switches against the likes of Zygarde.
Volcarona @ Groundium Z / Grassium Z
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast / Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Quiver Dance
Besides the likes of Chansey, the only thing that is able to stop Volcarona after some boosts are Heatran and Toxapex, and they are both taken out by boosted Tectonic Rage. Tapu Fini, Quagsire, and other Water-types can be dealt using Grassium Z. Volcarona has very limited counterplay in OU due to it becoming progrssively harder to stop, and it is pretty much the same here. As long as you keep Stealth Rock off the field, Volcarona should do its job.

Regarding Drampa's quoting post... yeh I guess not being able to spam Z-moves will kinda defeat the purpose of the metagame but things were too chaotic... and as I said I wrote that essay because I do care about what is going on in Ultimate Z.
As of now, I will try being cooperative as much as possible with what others say. But threats like Kyurem-B and possibly Tapu Koko will have to go.
