Hello, and welcome to BDSP OU Good Cores thread. This thread is meant to be a place for people to post BDSP Cores that they've found success with, and a chance to get the said cores featured on the OP. As everyone knows, Cores are a major part of teambuilding, as they are quite literally the core of the team. Effective offensive cores seek to dismantle an opposing team with mons that can break each other's checks/counters, while defensive cores seek to wall mons that threaten their partners.

A double dragon core, Garchomp and Latios aim to team up and overwhelm Fairy and Steel types like Clefable and Scizor that try to check them individually. With Fire Blast, Garchomp can lure and KO Steel types like aforementioned Scizor, as well as Skarmory, so that Latios can break/clean more effectively using its STABs. Yache Berry enables it to beat Weavile (if healthy) which can revenge kill the core otherwise. Additionally, Garchomp threatens Choice locked Latios' checks like Blissey, while Latios threatens Garchomp checks like Gliscor. This core appreciates pivoting support from the likes of Jirahci and Rotom-W to get safe switch-in opportunities.
