Sweeping Charlotte in 3 turns has become a Mono-run tradition between a couple of my friends, so I took it upon myself to do it on my Steel mono without Excadrill. Enjoy;

Hydreigon needs it's ability as wonderguard.
It has no means of setting up and has 5 pretty common weakness.

I think that the reason people such as myself find this so entirely laughable is 1. Hydreigon isn't a pokemon that needs a buff. Sure, its not OU, but so are 90% of other pokemon. Why does it matter if you can't use Hydreigon well in OU, that's natural as the Meta is largely focused around Pokemon that Hydreigon isn't even good at fighting. Hydreigon is a perfectly servicable Pokemon on paper, it's just anti-meta. That's basically the entirety of UU nowadays.
2. Why WonderGuard? Even if we were to believe that "Yes! This Pokemon needs substantial buffs in order to be good. Why would you choose WonderGuard? That is one of the most uninspired ideas for a buff ever. Any Pokemon would be better with Wonderguard. Hydreigon already has 2 immunities, let's just give him 11 more! That would make it so Hydreigon literally walls most Pokemon in the tier. If you didn't have a way to OHKO Hydreigon, You'd just flat out lose. Not to mention that Hydreigon can actually survive SE attacks unlike Shedinja, and has access to healing. It's evident that very little thought about how a WonderGuard Hydreigon would actually function in the current OU Meta, so the whole idea seems incredibly banal
3. Powercreep happens, Hydreigon isn't even the earliest or most tragic example. Remember when Tauros of all people ran the metagame? Remember when Flygon was OU? Suicune, Gengar, Celebi, and Scizor all used to be OU staples. They're not anymore, but nobody thinks they need Wonderguard to function well. If you really like Hydreigon, play UU or something, he's really good there!

Love how people are saying that ivs don't matter much in pokemon battles. If you can be okay with a pokemon of an attack stat that is short by 31 stat points then you'd better be using a modest Heracross or a Jolly Galvantula on your team.

I'm a bit of a loon, so I try to optimize even in-game, but you usually don't need to have Max IVs and optimal natures to go through the maingame. The only time people really care about IVs are in competitive, and most people usually resort to just using a sav/gen tool. Natures and IVs always take a backseat to movesets, obtainability, and typing/matchups ingame anyways.
