unrestricted wB97X-D and TPSSh functionals for paramagnetic species

I want to explore an alkyl radical capture by a Ni(II) species and that would form Ni(III) complex which would eventually undergo C(sp3)-C(sp3) reductive elimination. I wanted to see how the optimized transition state would look like for those functionals (not single points) in gaussian16, except for the fact that I tried UB3LYP-D3 and UM06-D3 already. Any help would be appreciated.

PBE0-D3(BJ) is worth to try, which is very popular and robust in studying transition-metal complexes

How can I use unrestricted version of PBE0-D3(BJ), wB97x-D or TPSSh for paramagnetic radicals? Thanks a lot!

I don't understand your problem. If you want to use PBE0 in Gaussian, just write PBE1PBE as keyword, see manual. If spin multiplicity is higher than 1, Gaussian automatically uses UKS formalism.
