M-lop and Kyurem are the definition of a core in Nat Dex.
The concept is simple mega lop crushes offense due to its high speed base of 135, fakeout, a solid stab combination of return and cc and U-turn. But it struggles to break through walls. But it can bring in kyurem with U-turn.

Kyurem with its decent speed base of 95 deadly coverage of freeze-dry and earthpower, okay bulk/atk and its pressure ability is a nightmare for every defensive mon.
It also justifies not using an ice move on lop.
But its often revenge killed by faster, super effective Attacks.

Let's take look how lop help’s kyurem:
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 734-866 (102.8 - 121.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Ferrothorn: 266-314 (75.5 - 89.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery, 252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 252 Def Sableye-Mega: 276-326 (91 - 107.5%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
bliss, m-sab and ferro are the only walls that can sometime be scary for Kyurem,

252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Melmetal: 300-354 (72.9 - 86.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery,
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Scizor-Mega: 151-178 (44 - 51.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock,
Steels like tran, kart, melm, m-maw and scizor, after rocks, can be OHKO/2HKOed,
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 198-234 (70.4 - 83.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO,
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Diancie-Mega: 187-222 (77.5 - 92.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO,
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 132 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar-Mega: 576-676 (154 - 180.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO,
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp-Mega: 180-213 (50.4 - 59.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO,
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Urshifu-Rapid-Strike: 172-204 (50.4 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO, revenkillers for Kyurem are also killed by mega lop.
M-lop can revenkill Ash gren und pressure the lati-twins with constant Fakeout+U-turn.

Kyurem helps lop by killing lando, glisc, Dnite and being able to crush rainteams:
200 SpA Kyurem Freeze-Dry vs. 244 HP / 76 SpD Gliscor: 508-604 (144.3 - 171.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO,
200 SpA Kyurem Freeze-Dry vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 222-264 (57.6 - 68.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO.
Kyurem stalls out walls with sub and pressure.
It kills bulk water with Freeze-Dry:
200 SpA Kyurem Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Fini: 176-210 (51.1 - 61%) -- 91.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery,
200 SpA Kyurem Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Toxapex: 164-194 (53.9 - 63.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO,
200 SpA Kyurem Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro: 266-314 (67.5 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO.

This core is very powerful but not perfect!
Both share a weaknesses to lele, corv, fairy and fighting types.

You will need hazard control and supporters like tran,lando and tapu Koko!

56 Evs in hp on kyurem is to create 101 hp subs. Lop run cc over hjk for consistency.

Have fun!

Ability: Battle Bond
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Water Shuriken
- Hydro Pump
- Spikes
- Dark Pulse

Greninja-Ash and Mega-Lopunny form a great offensive core.
They overwhelme shared checks like tang and M-Sci and pex.
Mons clef can't switch in, because it's either 2HKOed by hydro or return.

Lopunny-Mega kills stuff like ferro,hdra, biss, fini and gastro.
Greninja-Ash kills stuff like m-blaze, glisc and lando.

Lopunny-Mega can bring Greninja-Ash in with a u-turn, to do its stuff.

You could maybe run pup encore lopunny-mega, but you lose U-turn which isn't worth it .
This is also a partner for gren not for lop.

Have fun!

Congratulations to K302 for winning this week of Matchmaking!

Our new partner will be Rillaboom!

Submissions end Friday!
 
Reserving zone

:magnezone:
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]

:rillaboom:
Rillaboom @ Choice Band
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Wood Hammer/Knock Off
- Grassy Glide
- U-turn
- Superpower

Magnezone and Rillaboom are the definition of a core, which counters each other's weaknesses.
Rillaboom’s power is mostly held back by steels like M-Sci, corv, skarm, m-maw and ferro.
Magnezone just traps them all.
You don't rilla can easily lure them, click U-turn and bring zone in.

Rillaboom kills gastro, bliss and ground types for zone and helps with the terrain.

But this core is not 100% perfect -
zapdos, tran, dragon and grass types are sometimes difficult to handle.
You can:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Magnezone Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Zapdos: 264-312 (68.9 - 81.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO,
252+ SpA Choice Specs Magnezone Volt Switch vs. 252 HP / 136+ SpD Heatran: 144-171 (37.3 - 44.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery,
252+ Atk Choice Band Rillaboom Superpower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 398-470 (103.1 - 121.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO.

M-Diancie is a really effective partner for this core, that provides Rocks and removes the issues for this core.
You will still need some speed control.

Zone could be the sub Electrium-Z set.

Have fun!
