Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock

- Mirror Coat
- Recover

Overview
The defensive grass core mentioned above pretty easily breaks apart fairy team. Mega venusaur walls like five pokemon on the team and damages with sludge bomb or sets up leech seed for passive recovery.Ferrothorn helps in setting spikes and leech seed which creates catch 22 situation whether to switch on leech seed or take spikes damage. Ferrothorn can also do some decent damage to the team thanks to gyro ball. Lastly cradily with mirror coat takes out magearna which can be a trouble if it gets a boost due to soul heart. The idea behind using this core is that this defensive core easily over powers the team with its hazard stacking shenanigans and the defensive power that mega venusaur is.
calculations:
0 SpA Venusaur-Mega Sludge Bomb vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Koko: 290-344 (103.2 - 122.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Venusaur-Mega in Electric Terrain: 114-135 (31.4 - 37.1%) -- 81.6% chance to 3HKO
0 SpA Venusaur-Mega Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 84+ SpD Clefable: 210-248 (53.2 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Clefable Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Thick Fat Venusaur-Mega: 66-78 (18.1 - 21.4%) -- possible 5HKO
the other members namely azumarill and tapu bulu cant touch mega venusaur and mega venusaur kills both with sludge bomb and as far as magearna is concerned:
252 SpA Magearna Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Cradily: 182-216 (48.4 - 57.4%) -- 39.5% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery and cradily mirror coats in return.
+1 252 SpA Magearna Aura Sphere vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Ferrothorn: 200-236 (56.8 - 67%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Magearna: 136-162 (45.1 - 53.8%) -- 41% chance to 2HKO
 

Marowak-Alola @ Thick Club
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Punch / Flare Blitz
- Shadow Bone
- Bonemerang

Volcanion @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 1 Atk
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Earth Power / Steam Eruption
- Sludge Wave
- Fire Blast

The first Pokemon chosen is Alolan-Marowak, which is useful due to its Fire-typing and ability Lightning Rod which lets it switch in and beat Tapu Koko and have a pretty good chance against Magearna. Volcanion can be used because Marowak takes care of its Electric weakness, and is able to counter Azumarill and prevent Fire-type teams from being swept by BD Azumarill. After dealing with the most problematic areas of this Fairy team, the rest of Marowak' and Volcanion's teammates can easily.

252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Shadow Bone vs. 252 HP / 172 Def Clefable: 231-273 (58.6 - 69.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Fire Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Magearna: 344-408 (114.2 - 135.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Bonemerang (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 396-468 (140.9 - 166.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Shadow Bone vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 252-297 (89.6 - 105.6%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Fire Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Klefki: 296-350 (93.3 - 110.4%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Shadow Bone vs. 92 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 264-312 (72.5 - 85.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Shadow Bone vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 195-231 (69.1 - 81.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

0 SpA Clefable Moonblast vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Marowak-Alola: 59-69 (18.2 - 21.3%) -- possible 5HKO
252 SpA Magearna Twinkle Tackle (195 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Marowak-Alola: 189-223 (58.5 - 69%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Magearna Fleur Cannon vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Marowak-Alola: 126-149 (39 - 46.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Dazzling Gleam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Marowak-Alola: 93-111 (28.7 - 34.3%) -- 3.4% chance to 3HKO
0- Atk Klefki Foul Play vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Marowak-Alola: 152-180 (47 - 55.7%) -- 74.6% chance to 2HKO

Marowak can check and counter 1 or 2 of Clefable, Tapu Koko, Magearna, and Klefki when its not behind screens, and Azumarill or Tapu Bulu cannot switch in, giving room to the rest of its team to better counter whoever Marowak decides not to beat.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Sludge Wave vs. 252 HP / 84+ SpD Clefable: 310-366 (78.6 - 92.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Sludge Wave vs. 92 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 410-484 (112.6 - 132.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Sludge Wave vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Koko: 432-510 (153.7 - 181.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Klefki: 662-780 (208.1 - 245.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Magearna: 524-618 (174 - 205.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Sludge Wave OHKOs everything except Magearna and Klefki. Fire Blast OHKOs everything except Azumarill and Clefable. Clefable doesn't do anything to Volcanion and you can just switch out of Azumaril and come back later so you can just click Fire Blast freely until everything is dead or if they sack Mag and Klef.
 

Volcarona @ Lum Berry
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 1 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 SpD
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Hidden Power Ground
- Giga Drain

Pinsir-Mega @ Pinsirite
Ability: Aerilate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Quick Attack

Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Knock Off


Bug is one of the few types considered to have an arguably winning matchup against Fairy mostly thanks to the likes of Volcarona and Scizor. Mega Pinsir breaks Clefable, Azumarill and the Fairy/Steels and weakens Tapu Koko so that either Banded Scizor or Quiver Dance Volcarona can clean late-game. Azumarill won't be able to pull off a BD sweep against this core since everyone outspeeds and kills it at 50%, not to mention 2 members have priority. MAKE SURE you have prior damage on Koko before you try cleaning otherwise you could possibly get swept unless you set up webs beforehand. Speaking of webs, that's going to help make Scarfed Bulu and Koko far less threatening.

Calcs: (Keep in mind that Klefki's Screens are going to half the damage you deal)
252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 186-219 (66.1 - 77.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (For the love of god please don't attempt this without prior damage.)

252 Atk Aerilate Pinsir-Mega Quick Attack vs. 92 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 109-129 (29.9 - 35.4%) -- 22.4% chance to 3HKO
252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Pinsir-Mega: 67-81 (24.7 - 29.8%) -- 100% chance to 4HKO
252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Pinsir-Mega: 153-180 (56.4 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (You can SD if Clefable is gone and Magearna doesn't have it's balloon anymore, just don't get critted.)
252 Atk Aerilate Pinsir-Mega Quick Attack vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 158-188 (56 - 66.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
252 Atk Aerilate Pinsir-Mega Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 404-476 (143.2 - 168.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Aerilate Pinsir-Mega Return vs. 252 HP / 172 Def Clefable: 238-282 (60.4 - 71.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

252 SpA Volcarona Fiery Dance vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Magearna: 236-282 (78.4 - 93.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Well the first thing I noticed about this team was that 3 Ice weaknesses and no resists would make the match-up p hard, especially with Knock Off support. Weavile provides that support, being able to pressure the Eviolite core with Knock Off and the rest of the team with STABs. Band Quick Attack from Diggersby needs three rounds of Life Orb recoil in order to have a chance of OHKOing Weavile. Mamoswine continues the pressure by setting up Stealth Rock and doing major damage to Pokemon with Superpower.
