Hoopa-Unbound in DOU

[emma]

Hoopa-U is a solid Tier 2 pokemon in the Smogon Doubles OU Viability Rankings. It can break protect with Hyperspace Fury and/or Hyperspace Hole and can hit hard with it's wide coverage, including Gunk Shot, Drain Punch, Hidden Power, and more. It's a fantastic wallbreaker, however, it struggles against offense. Mega Kangaskhan strait up OHKOs it and Landorus-T can intimidate and U-Turn for the kill. I would like to know the communities' thoughts on Hoopa-U. Below is the set I usually run.
