Hoopa Unbound has a few tricks up its sleeve, including Astonish and Shadow Ball, both strong Ghost-type moves, and most of its moves deal neutral damage to Bug types. The exception is Dark Pulse, which deals reduced damage to Fairy types, so Fairy-typed attackers may fare better against Dark Pulse.
Other than that, there is not much we can say for Hoopa’s moves – all of them are good, and its a strong opponent, so bring your best Pokémon and try to dodge as much as you can.
