I've never posted at all in this thread, but since all I really do most of the time at this point in the meta is build teams, figure I might as well share some of my builds based on fun cores/mons/ideas since it's always fun to explore different sets/mons, please let me know of any problems/suggestions for any of the teams, as despite my numerous tests with them, I might gloss over some notable issues they have, but hey that's the fun of teambuilding - working on your weaknesses, so here they are:

Band Mamoswine is such a fun pokemon, like it's crazy just how much of its usual checks it just straight up annihilates with this set. Double Edge is the 4th move to have a great chance to 2HKO Rotom even when Rocks aren't up. ChestoResto Gyara is a phenomenal partner for it, given that Band Mamo for the most part lures in a ton of Gyara's checks, so Gyara is pretty much the main wincon on the team. SpDef Rocks Rachi because it's just so nice, and acts as a nice blanket check to numerous Dragons/Fairies which is very helpful for this team. And if one breaker wasn't enough, Specs Hydreigon helps obliterate defensive teams and acts as a nice soft check to stuff like Slowbro/Crawdaunt which could otherwise be annoying. Mega Slowbro was added on since it acts as an alright Keldeo switchin with the SpDef bulk added on, and acts as a nice late game wincon in case Gyara falls flat. Zapdos is there finally to give me an out against birdspam while also providing helpful hazard removal. Team looks weird as hell on paper, but hasn't failed at exceeding my expectations any time I use it.

Nice squad featuring Mega SD Chomp, except I'm running a bulkier spread since its bulk after mega is comparable to Tank Chomp which is always cool. Softens up stall builds real well and is just a fun as hell mon to use. SpDef Rachi again cause its just so good and helps deal with Chomp checks really well, Knock+Moonblast+Flamethrower Clefable provides phenomenal support for this team, being able to soften up opposing builds with Knock while luring in Ferro/other steels with Flamethrower. Band Tar as the sand setter with max speed Adamant to soften up opposing Lando's/Rotom's for Garchomp while pursuit trapping the likes of the Latis. Scarf Lando with Grass Knot over Knock because Quag lures are always cool, and finally Slowking since this build really lacks Keldeo switchins and acts as a secondary wincon as well. Thanks to good fren tiger's jaw for helping test it out himself and giving some advice on the build.

Band Rhyperior is the realest mon alive, I tell you all. Enough speed to outspeed -speed Tangrowth's. Breloom was the chosen partner since it helps soften up annoying water types and prefers Rhyperior luring in Grass-types for it. Focus Blast+T-Wave Clefable to lure in Heatran/Excadrill's while also providing hax speed support for the rest of the team. Max HP AV Torn-T helps to check really annoying mons like Keldeo. Heatran to help the stall matchup a bit while also being the main rocks setter, and finally physically defensive SD M-Zor with enough speed to outspeed standard Lando/Rotom variants, mainly to lure in Rotom and take it out with a nice +2 Bug Bite. I was back and forth on U-turn over Bug Bite, but in the end, Bug Bite is really nice for bulkier teams so that I end up not losing the boost, and it still hits hard as hell which is always nice.

Probably my favorite team I've made and played with as of late, this is an HO I made using the based god himself Band Staraptor. I wanted to build with Band Raptor since it softens up/blows black common birdspam checks such as Zapdos and Rotom, so I figured I'd build with it. Mandatory Azelf, and this spread helps it a bit to avoid silly rolls against Ada Lopunny. Sharpedo/Azu are the main wincons/waterspam core here, as Azu is usually the early game hole-puncher, being able to BD up and lure in a ton of checks to Mega Sharpedo such as Ferrothorn/Tangrowth/Amoonguss. Sharpedo is usually the late game cleaner and greatly appreciates the help of Azu. Scarf Lando again and finally LO Torn-T, another "bird" helpful to break down defensive/stall builds since they have real trouble switching into this thing. I love using this team, it's mindless, braindead, and exactly what I wanted it to be when I built it to begin with. Anyways here are the teams guys, try em out and have fun with em! :]
 
hiya! saw am's post and figured i should dump a few of my faves since i had the time today. i haven't been building much at all since i don't have inspiration to mostly since school started (and also i used to make dozens of teams a day so it became tiring to do and because oras is ending soon and sun-moon seems way chaotic), so most of the teams will be months old. teams do need some fixing but they've been pretty comfy to use, hope you like them ^^ edit: i've added two new teams~!

i've actually tested this team extensively! it’s probably one of my best teams and its been progressing super well for the time i’ve been using it so i decided to add it here~ this version currently runs off outlasting & wittling down the opposing side via the backbone of mixdef cm king / phsydef sd mzor / bold cm clef / spdef tran followed by applying offensive pressure with subcm kou + subseed serp til the oppo either: a) cannot break the team, b) loses to a combination of the wincons, or c) gives up. this team is really easy to get comfortable with and playing games with it have usually been a snackwrap for me thanks to all of the members synergising extremely well. anyways this team utilises some helpful stuff like maxdef scizor to make games against grounds easier due to the lack of a solid ground resist, subcm kou + subseed serp to remedy the manaphy weak that these kind of teams usually have, and also fuck up eachothers checks via the support from the aforementioned m-zors knock as well as status support from clef / tran / king. the original team was based around pursuit mzor + cm slowbro but after some time and a ton of playtesting i think i ended up with the best version of the team seeing as how everything fell into place so well ^^

omg shark! i noticed that a lot of teams would drop to this at preview with the help of spikes support, so i had just made a quick team with it and i liked it :p. team has a basic defensive core of sd helm landt / def washtom / spdef heal block keys backing the offensive core of scarftran / mpedo / lo gar. cool thing here is that it puts mons like keldeo & washtom in range of pedo while giving me speed control and another pivot into a annoying shit like zardy & zors. other thing is that gengar puts a lot of pressure against most teams because icy wind forces out grounds and catches ttar so its forced out, otherwise it usually picks up some kills. good mon helps me rack up damage for pedo later. just running sd on landt for now to weaken ferro & the like for mpedo to clean up later and i have heal block on keys to make fatmons like clef less of an issue, stopping recovery helps a ton lol. this teams weak to elecs so you could probably opt for another version /w scarf landt > def - spdef utility tran > scarf - physdef keys > spdef. otherwise shark is pretty dope, cleans up games really well o.o

okay so i just recently had made this when i noticed scolipass picking up in usage, wanted to have something that rips those teams apart so i went and made a team off of subsd mpins. went with bandtar to open up holes for mpins later and to get damage against mons like talon & tornt. would have usually went with landt initially over gliscor but i noticed that i’d be too easily pressured by phys attackers whereas gliscors recovery lets it be a much more consistent answer to said threats like excadrill, bisharp, zardx, mzor (thanks to sd) and so on. needed a rocker, didn’t have many options barring ferro since it helped with the majority of my weaknesses aka offensive waters and fairies & drags. just realised that i forgot my removal, so i went defensive latias. honestly i had never used the set before but it’s way better than i thought, the bulk investment helps a ton with managing keld, electrics, tornt and was able to live all sorts of hits like scarftars crunch to twave for mpins, i’ve found it to be a much more consistent removal option than the standard set on this team at least. had to fill the last, my team was slower than usual and figured i needed another offensive mon, picked subcm keldeo as i noticed that when it fishes for burns alongside sand and rock damage mons get easily put into ttar range; it also had the added benefit of being a better mzor and weavile check. main weaknesses i've found with this team are like really heavy offenses (also about keldyou could probably try specs focus blast to remove washtom and the like for mpins but i found that subcm just works way better than specs right now) this is a new team but it quickly became one of my faves.

version 2! while this version has been pretty pressed against latis, it’s been great for me. wanted to focus way less on having answers to stuff and instead just giving the oppo hell. mmeta has been aids for a long while now and i’ve just started using it more, it’s really good with volcanion seeing as its checks get fucked up since they’re worn down due to volc. i wanted to use specs drei since mmeta & volc helped with the fairy issue and gave my a psuedo ground immune, drei hits pretty hard and makes a mess out of most teams when given a chance. (also has u-turn!) after that, i just went for standard lati just to have a back up answer for electrics, removal for volc and a better keldeo check. went landot since i was missing rocks and a check to phys attackers, also had the added benefit of knock off for removing items. last mon, team was still not fast enough, volc, gyara, and zardx at +1 were pain in the necks and i had a bish & weavile weak, i just went for scarf terrak in the last slot, it helped immensely. this version of the team i liked slightly more as it played to the speed i was accustomed to and that it got the job done rather well.

original version of the team oo. i remember that i just wanted to make a team utilising volcanion since i like… never really used the mon period. i was brainstorming sets and realised the only one that i’d think to be good in practice would be tox + tect since volcanion gets worn down easily and would like to make the most out of tox / burn damage, helps with people doubling & choice locked mons too! current thought process was that i needed something to threaten out grounds as volcanion can’t take care of them alone since it’s on the slower side of things, opted for boltbeam mlati since it can just pivot into eqs and ice beam them down, also made for a water & elec check. after that i really just wanted something that synergises from volcanion wearing down all kinds of fat shit, physdef sd scor had grown on me and i loved using it as it checked all kinds of strong physmons, most notably zardx & driller here. not to mention you can fuck around with washtoms by knocking off its lefties and playing switching games between volt switch and hydro immunities until it’s in range (remember toxic + tect volc annoys the hell out of it). mon made a pretty solid wincon for the team. next was amoonguss, i hate not having a solid answer to serp on bulkier teams nowadays since it gets out of hand real quick. this mon really blanket checks a lot for the team, fat set up mons, azu and like fairies; also gives me sleep support! the team was looking pretty solid by now barring a few annoying weaks, major ones would be latis, mgarde, zammer, kyube, lo starmie, tornt. my first thought was spdef driller since i lacked rocks & removal for most importantly volcanion and it still remedied the weak against most of those, but i had also added scarftar to at least have something against say gengar, latis, mpins and mie. really nice team, but games with it had been slightly slower than i had wanted so i came up with a more offensive version above :p.

omg… my fave mew team. this team was so fun to use haha. i remember being tired of facing mmedi ages ago so i just whipped up a team to spam when i was too tired to think. just went with a concept of spreading status, removing items, pivoting around to force damage via the rocks + status damage, going to mew and taunting fatter stuff if they try to heal just until they’re low enough to be revenged by landt, or trapped by mzor or tran. i just love how this team works, don't feel like i have to give any other thought process. this team has been hilarious to use though (i usually run earth power on tran to catch other trans for my mzor & mew but you can probably just run taunt over that if you’d like to avoid mew being overworked since there is surf lati to weaken that.)

this is a team i had made when azelf ho was picking up traction again, games with this team had been pretty memorable ^~^. first member added was sd lum bish, always thought it was a scary mon and it paired up well with mlop thanks to bish being able to knock lefties, gave me another source of priority and a set up mon. next was washtom, it gave me the option wisp things to get mons into lop & bish range, a pivot, and a flying & ground switch-in. i had realised that the first three members loved spike support, so i used spdef skarm to keep fairies, mvenu, serp, chomper, mzor and a few others in check. two slots left, noticed that i needed rocks and preferably some speed. went for rocks clef as it remedied the dragon & fighters weak and didn’t mind opposing hazards. last slot, i needed insurance against keld and said speed control since mlop is my only natural speedy poke. figured scarf latias would be nice since it was strong enough to get stuff out of the way aka sweepers like zardx or just like electrics which the team has problems with. scarf lati also had the added benefits of hw and tricking mons to more easily get a sd with bish.

at the time i made this was the time everyone was going on about how “malt is shit malt doesnt do this well malt is ass” w/e nonsense that is and i was just really surprised seeing it drop down so low. i initially just wanted to see if that was true since i thought it was just bullshit at first and it actually did end up being bullshit lol. opted for refresh since it keeps malt consistent at what it does, and went for body slam since it often grabs a para or two and helps a ton later. added scarfmag + physdef sd scor for self explanatory reasons, this is where i picked up my liking for physdef scor. added ferro + lati for rocks and removal and just to blanket check whatever i didnt check already, then i realised that i was pretty gengar and weak and that lati was sorta annoying so i picked up weavile to keep those in check. really simple team but i don’t think it’s ever failed me, malt often grabs wins since nobody actually actively preps for it anymore… but yeah body slam works wonders since you can just para any switchin, if they do actually have like shed shell skarm glisc or weav often knock that off, amoong is ridic easy to put into range and i haven’t been seeing mvenu much at all. sd scor does put a lot of pressure on that though. my main worry about this team is that if volcanion gets a burn every time and i cry myself to sleep afterwards.

clef clef. i wanted to make a more offensive kinda team with clef since most of my teams with those had been more on the bulkier side. first member was serp, pretty much wanted to help out clef and people were stacking serp weak mons at the time so i was like like why not. second was chomper since i needed a rocker and a mons for clicking priority against serp like talon, also wittled down skarm and had decent matchup against rockers they didn’t like facing. after that i added mmeta since i wanted a good switchin to mvenu, opposing clef and tornt kinda. it was a pretty good addition seeing as the rest of the members at the time wore down what mmeta didnt like. last two slots went to washtom & weavile, needed to get tornt out of the way for sure and also removed gengar. also gave me a way to get fat grounds out of the way if i wanted, washtom was just added for blanket checking phys attackers and spreading burns to make the whole process easier. i have a scarf drill weak but i love this team.

rest of the teams were made like within 3 months ago but i i made this about mid 2015 but it still works surprisingly well o_o. iirc this started off /w bandnite + specs keld for a breaker core followed by sash chomp for rocks, and then dd landt + sd mzor as the breaker core and lead had similar checks to these sweepers in particular. think i just added jirachi for the speed control and hw just for backup alongside being able to pivot into said breakers. there's not much to say about this team other than it just works well cause of the team assets. constantly breaks down checks to the sweepers, has speed control, defensive backbone is great for an offense team and still has retains great matchup against a lot of teams right now.

Recently I've been building some teams (some good and some not), so I thought I'd share all of the ones that have been working out decently for me. Inspired by other team dumps btw.


A cool little team I made around the very spammable offensive core, Mega Lopunny and Scarf Diggersby. Nobody really expects Diggersby, and nobody ever expects Scarfed Diggersby, who can wreck a lot of defensive Pokemon. Both of these Pokemon form a Normal-Spam core that can power through a lot of teams. Togekiss was the next addition due to the fact that is able to 4x resist the Fighting-Type attacks that can demolish both Diggersby and Mega Lopunny. Togekiss is also a god with Twave and Air Slash paraflinching shenanigans and provides defog support. Scarf Victini was added to check Steel-Types like Ferrothorn and also to check Ice types that can harm Diggersby and Togekiss. SR Clef was added to provide at least some form of hazards, and also provides a possible win-con with CM. Finally I added CM Keldeo because I needed something to hit Landorus-T and Excadrill.

Sub DD Mega Gyarados is formidable force in the tier, being able to cower behind a sub and set up dds all over Pokemon. You can choose not to Mega Evolve to have a better match-up against Fairy-Type and Fighting-Type Pokemon. I also wanted to use Lapras because its a pretty cool Pokemon with a great HP stat and it can't wall anything in OU really, so it adds a danger factor to the team. Scarf Landorus was added because its a great Pokemon that can generate momentum and it provides an immediate offensive presence to the team. Nidoking was added because it check Fairies for Mega Gyarados. Banded Scizor was added because the team was super weak to Weavile and other Ice-types. Latias provides healing wish support for Gyarados, allowing it be be more reckless and get a second chance to sweep. It can also defog away hazards.

This is some ungodly stall because it nets wins like nobody's business, unless you lose. Mega Sab is necessary on pretty much any form of stall because of it's ability to bounce back status and hazards. It also tanks hits. Shedinja is a god because it isn't killed by anything towards the late game, but it must be careful of Rocky Helmet, Weather, and Status. Tentacruel is cool Pokemon that can spin away hazards and use Acid Spray to start off slowly wearing down opponents before doing huge damage. It can also use Reflect Type to resist hits because of how surprisingly fast it is. Chansey is a god that stops Charizard Y from destroying the team. Duggy is a necessity on Shedinja stall, removing threat like Charizard X, Heatran, and Mega Diancie.

This is actually a really bad team. Like it's horrible. It loses to everything. Any suggestions would help but let me explain it for y'all. Mega Sharpedo is a great late-game cleaner but it is a glass cannon so it must be saved for the endgame. Serp is a great Pokemon that forms a decent core with Sharpedo, breaking down the bulky waters that Sharpedo can't really break through. Starmie provides hazard control and thats about it. Scarf SR Lando is used to set up hazards and pretend that it isn't scarfed because what scarfed lando runs rocks? Bisharp was added to get rid of the Latis and Fairy types that Sharpedo appreciates gone. Finally, Kyurem B is the designated wallbreaker, breaking down bulky Pokemon for Sharpedo to come in and sweep.

A pretty cool team that I'm proud of making, involving a cool offensive core in MegaMane and BandWeavile. They can check each other's checks, Weavile covering Ground Pokemon and Mane covering bulky Waters. Banded Azu was added because is a strong wallbreaker that can check Scarf Lando with Aqua Jet. Next I have a cool defensive core of Dragalge and Skarmory, who can both stack hazards out the wazoo. Skarm covers the Ground weakness and Dragalge covers the fire one, sort of. Overall, they can stack every hazard in the game consistently, with Dragalge being able to Draco Meteor the Lati's on the Defog. Starmie was added to prevent my own side of the field from being hazard stacked upon. Overall a pretty cool team.

A pretty cool team I made using Mega Pidgeot, Infernape, and Crawdaunt, a few Pokemon that aren't seen in OU as often as they probably should. A very fast-paced team, it utilizes the VoltTurn between Raikou, Infernape, and Mega Pidgeot to pivot around and gain as much momentum as possible. Sadly, because the team lacked any real sort of bulk, I added Chansey and Skarmory, two Pokemon that practically kill any momentum generated, but they do provide good support. Skarmory is able to stop set-up sweepers and Chansey is able to act like a cleric with Heal Bell. The basic strategy is to abuse Crawdaunt's ability to break through fatty Pokemon and then use the VoltTurn core to get it back in again. Pretty terrible in reality, gets 6-oed by Kyurem-B (but what doesn't). Mega Pidgeot has Hyper Beam for style points.

A pretty cool team I made back when OLT first started, but I didn't really use it to compete, I more likely used it to crush the OLT dreams of my opponents. Mega Heracross is soooooo good in the current metagame, but it is easily shut down by Flying and Psychic types, so Tyranitar is the perfect partner. Rotom acts as a pivot to get Heracross in more easily, and also can provide some good will-o support. Banded Azu was added because its super good and takes down Heracross' checks, like Talonflame and LandorusT. AV Tangrowth was added to complete Tyranitar and Rotom's bulk, and Weavile was the revenge killer of choice, also taking down LandoT for Heracross, and also being able to take down the Lati's. Overall a pretty cool team that works quite well, and is fun to use.

Mega Banette is a pretty cool Pokemon, and is a very fun Pokemon to use in OU, abusing Prankster. With Destiny Bond, Banette is pretty much able to take down at least one Pokemon on the opponent's team. I decided to use LO CM Keldeo with Banette because it is a very offensive Pokemon, appreciating Banette's support. Phys Def Tangrowth was added to handle strong offensive Pokemon, and it becomes unstoppable once Banette burns the opponents entire team. I liked the idea of offensive AV Heatran so I added it on to the team. Not the best Pokemon but it hits hard and can tank some hits. Scarf LandoT was added because its a god. Sylveon was added to be a cleric, healing off Banette and other status that may plague the team. A very fun team to use, highly recommend.

A pretty cool bulky offense team that I made surrounding the extreme defensive core of Suicune and Mega Venusaur. With the infamous CroCune set (with a few adjustments) and a Physically Defensive Mega Venusaur, this team is tough to break down (unless you're Kyurem Black). LandoT was added for SR setting and momentum generation, and Banded Crawdaunt is used to break through other defensive teams. Stallbreaker Heatran is used for, you guessed it, breaking Stall teams. Chaney was added to prevent the team from getting demolished my Zard X, and to increase its chances against Kyurem B.

Mega Medicham is super broken rn, so I decided to build a team around it and SD Talonflame. Talonflame and MegaCham have similar checks so together they can break them down. Support Ttar was added for support and SR setting, and can also tank Stone Edges for Talonflame. CM Twave Clefable was added to provide a secondary win con should Talonflame or MegaCham go down. Excadrill was added because it is an absolute beast in the sand, and provides hazard control for Talonflame. SD Talonflame is one of the main Pokemon here, setting up late to mid game and sweeping. Finally Latios was added as another measure to get rid of hazards.

This is another stall team because stall is super good to use but horrible to face. This piece of happiness to battle has the usual Mega Sableye, with a twist. Spite is run to PP stall out your opponent faster than usual. Featuring the godly Chansey-Skarmory defensive core, Chansey is able to heal off status with Heal Bell and Skarmory is able to set up Stealth Rocks consistently. Alomomola the god is used to pass off massive wishes to the rest of the team. Zapdos uses a cool move called Flash which reduces your opponent's accuracy, creating situations where Zapdos is literally untouchable. Finally, SD Gliscor was added to provide a late-game sweeper if need be.

Basically it's team designed to support Mega Zam sweep. Protect on Zam deals well with Fake out bullshit and scouts for moves on choiced mon (works extremely well with u-turn punishers like tank chomp). Specs Latios because this set is super powerful, nice volturn core with mag and scizor (very unusual but works quite well). However this team has some issues. Like stall matchup. I used to have scarfrachi instead zaptos (trick scarf to chansey because I cannot break that thing) but then I was very ground week and that would be 4th choice user on this team.

Beside that it doesn't have any other obvious weakness but I'm sure there can be improvement. Thanks in advice.

hello ou bazaar, my name is sexual fresh green, and i come here to sell you my wares

nah but in all seriousness though ladder is my bane as i always get juked by heat like iron tail torn so i dont really gain much going out into the field trying to figure out what counters my team when allegedly a nice bulky torn-t can switch in on a diancie and nimbly navigate around its diamond storm; and i like sharing my ideas as well as taking criticism for them, so why not post on here to spread some lovin all around

100% this team relies on diancie for straight power. standard ev's on most things as i'm not too too worried about baiting specific things, i'll eventually figure out stuff to ev to live and what to bait in as life goes on. torn-t with prankster thunder wave to allow me to slow opponents down if i don't feel that i can get in and safely rock polish for a sweep , focus blast to hit exca or something on the switch to block volt and i also switch on iron heads bc resists, and i have breloom with spore+sd to put things like rotom-w and magnezone to sleep (although magnezone bonks me with the hp fire) and to sweep late if the stars are aligned. mach punch for revenging and bullet seed as a non contact move that can kill most rotom-w's.

kyurem-b is my scarfer, fast draco's and ice moves are a huge thing against most pokemon as most of my main core struggle with things like gliscor and offensive chomp, max speed allows me to outspeed 95% of things without a scarf and slower mons that threaten a rock polish/dd and kill or weaken to the point of a mach punch KO, i have heatran in the mix as well as he's a solid special tank and wall and gives me a secondary SR if skarm dies+toxic for the real ones who run the dreaded stall (i'm not one to talk i run stall sometimes), and lastly i have skarm as my physical wall because its such a good option that covers alot of the megas nowadays and most physical threats, i run rocky helmet to discourage immediately clicking iron head on diancie if it comes to it and to chip physical attackers, stealth rocks as its my primary sr setter, and defog because any team that cant removes hazards isn't a team of mine.

anyways rate comment enjoy use etc let me know if i really am screwing up with this here

This is a team that I've been trying to make work for quite a while. It looks innovative and different, which according to my teambuilding standards means "barely passable". The two (flimsy) reasons I even made this team is because I really like Protect + Wisp M-Gardevoir, and I really don't like using Lucario. From there, it was just a matter of playing the frantically-blanket-check-as-much-as-possible game.

Flagship members are, predictably, M-Gardevoir, running a set that can bait Choice users, smack down Pursuit users by the handful, and even cripple incoming Steels with a prediction. Modest over Timid so that I don't have to risk Focus Miss on things like ScarfTar for the OHKO, and not needing to outspeed Jolly Breloom pre-mega due to Protect. Cobalion is the next sorta-kinda flagship member, and my main choice over Lucario because of its raw ability to screw over Dark-types, weakened Grass-types that Garde can't cover so well, and outspeed a lot of competing wallbreakers. SD + 3 attacks is something I wanted to try out due to outspeeding things like the Zard forms and Kyurem-B and beating them with the coverage it packs.

Standard Defensive Lando-T for largely pivoting reasons, along with utility in Knock Off and HP Ice to beat opposing 4x weak mons. NP + T-Wave Thundy is my line of offense against birdspam, especially things like M-Pinsir, which if you've seen some techs of xtra's team on the ladder, now sometimes run Stone Edge on Pinsir to beat Zapdos. Not much chance of that against Thundurus unless you predict, I figured. HP Flying because without Psyshock, this team is deadweight against M-Venu and Amoong. ChopleTar is to have some sort of viable switch-in to repeated hard-hitting special STAB that the other members can't handle, especially against things like Torn-T, as well as SR. Amoonguss covers Water-types in general, as well as providing answers against hard-hitting Steels like Magnezone with HP Fire.

As you can probably already tell, this team does not have a very fun matchup against M-Metagross and Magnezone unless you predict like Jesus himself (and Mag's not Scarf), and Char-Y and Torn-T don't have to do very much to start wreaking havoc (case in point, just get rid of TTar somehow). There are ways around them, but it's tough going.

If anyone has improvements or straight-up reworks to suggest, hit me with them. Lord knows this team could be better.

A team based around Wish passing from Alomomola. I need some bulky Pokemon that can take a hit when they are switched into from Alomomola which is why the team has many slow bulky Pokemon. Alomomola, Amoonguss, and Heatran form a nice FWG core. Mega Latias has Calm Mind to act as a win condition and as a fast bulky pivot. Zapdos is there to stop bird spam and is another bulky pivot. Conkeldurr is there to absorb statuses and wall break potentially. In the end the team ends up winning mainly through spreading toxic and stalling by switching through your defensive core. One annoying thing is that opponents often get a free pokemon to switch into Spore once their Pokemon is poisoned, such as a poisoned Tornadus-T can freely switch into Amoonguss. Amoonguss' 4th move is almost never used and there doesn't seem to be a better move. I might switch Amoonguss for Tangrowth but I'm not too sure yet.

Beedrill based VoltTurn team. Every Pokemon has U-turn or Volt Switch except Dnite. You just take turns switching between Pokemon until the enemy team is weak then you send out Dnite and sweep. It can probably be improved greatly tho.

I swear to god Restalk Volcanion is fucking amazing. It can freely switch into a ton of Pokemon and abuse its high base power moves with decent chances of burning. The most common Volcanion switch-ins are Lati or Rotom-W, Scizor and Clefable can cover Lati while Zygarde covers Rotom-W. Once Rotom switches into Volcanion they are going to use Volt-Switch 99.9% of the time so Zygarde can switch in and setup a sub and start boosting. Zygarde is also great against Stall teams since it can setup on more than half their team.

Basically the same team as above except with Kyurem-B/Mega Altaria instead of Clefable/Zygarde and AV Metagross instead of Mega Scizor. One cool thing is Altaria can Heal Bell sleep from Volcanion if it uses Rest.

You setup rocks with Ferrothorn which lures Heatran so you switch to Gliscor, tank the hit, and SD while it switches out to a flying type or levitator. You then tank another hit and baton pass to Sharpedo or out speed and pass to Sharpedo which tanks the ice or water attack. Sharpedo protects and grabs a speed boost and wins the game or breaks some walls. Yanmega and Scolipede then cleans up or Manaphy wins the game if you are playing vs stall.

Azelf does its stuff then you go to Gliscor and get an agility boost. You then out speed the incoming ice/water attack and pass the boost to Manaphy. Manaphy grabs a Tail Glow and you win the game. You can also pass speed to Azumarill or Metagross or Heracross depending on situation.

Adamant Nature

Tyranitar sets up sand for Excadrill which can clean and Diancie which gets a SpDef boost. Celebi tries to grab a Nasty Plot boost and tanks an attack passing it to Diancie or Diancie ends up tanking the incoming fire/bug/flying/dark type attack. The enemy then switches out or you tank another attack and Rock Polish without Mega Evolving to make use of the higher defensive stats. You then Mega Evolve and fuck shit up. Magnezone is there to fuck Scizor, who explodes Diancie with Bullet Punch, and Ferrothorn which can tank a hit from boosted Diancie. It is Air Balloon Magnezone so you can also fuck up Excadrill. Sadly this team is raped by Offensive Mega-Scizor but I've never faced one since they are fairly rare.

Initially, this team was built for OLT (but I gave up, ladder makes me salty af), I started out with Charizard Y and Stealth Rock Clefable because most of the teams used by OLT qualifiers aren't prepared to face Charizard Y (it gives a straight win against Tele's stall for example) and Stealth Rock + Calm Mind Clefable which puts a lot of pressure against most balance and stall build and helps a lot against the numerous fight type used in the current metamage. Then I added AV Metagross for pursuiting lati@s and helps against fairy type like Diancie, Clefable and Gardevoir because I want to give it a shot and do not build another boring team like zardy-tyranitar-excadrill-keldeo-landorus-latios.
Afterwards I added Defog Zapdos and CM + Roar Suicune for alleviate the talonflame weakness (and it gives me a nice match-up against xtra's bird spam) and another steel check. It's also the mandatory Stealth Rock removal of the team. Discharge was chosen over thunderbolt in order to spread paralysis (especially as Clefable lacks Thunder-Wave). Suicune provides a heatran answer, a second win condition, and a weavile check. Also with Roar it becomes a nice Clefable Check and it can phaze set-up sweepers such as CharizardX. Dual Pressure users gives a great match-up against stall too (especially with Rest Suicune which gives more pp stalling options and a great statuts absorber).
Last but not least, I like having some speed control I added a Scarf Garchomp which provides me another CharizardX (and Y) Check, an Electric immunity and greatly improves the match up against offense. Also as Stealth Rock Clefable is pretty uncommon compared as Stealth Rock Garchomp, you can lure a classic TankChomp and pick unexpected kills.
I reach round 5 in the smogon tour first week with this team too (and then I discovered SubNP Hoopa is a threat xd)

This is a stall team I made for Ladder, and it should only be used on ladder since its ass everywhere else. I decided on the Alo + Whims core because I made a joke team with it and I noticed that whenever I tried to win I usually pivoted between Alo and Whims so I thought about making a legit team with those two. Mirror Coat alo is a my way of dealing with RD mana and Taunt Gardevoir since my team really has nothing else for those two. It also has enough def to live specs ss from keld after rocks+burn. The rest were just dumped into HP and SPDEF so i could take hypervoice/scald from gardevoir and manaphy. Whimsicott is used to leech stall and para a lot of the meta. It is also my main way of dealing with SD Breloom. Stun Spore is really only on here for rain and paralyzing things like scizor and heatran. Moonblast is there so I could do damage to Mega Sableye, and other things that aren't affected by leech seed. I just used Max hp and Max def just so i could take on breloom better. Skarmory was added because I needed a Bisharp/Pinsir counter. Since BraveBird can't touch bisharp i decided on using counter since it also deals with ttar and other physical attackers. It has both spikes and Defog so I can put pressure on the opponents team while also letting my alo be as healthy as possible so it can mirror coat kill a gardevoir. Next Sableye is used to deal with medicham, and ferrothorn. It can also bounce back hazards so I don't always have to defog. Sableye is also almost always my lead so i can get a mega turn one. Fake Out allows me to get a mega off on things that can kill it like clefable, and diancie. Finally Chansey is used as my Zard-Y Switchin and my Rocker. Heal Bell can be used over TWAVE but i prefer it since i can para clefable, attempting to beat it.

hello niños, i'm pretty done with ou until SuMO is released since i want to focus more on uu until next gen and most of that gen. so here's some fire i've built in commemoration of ORAS. i don't like doing another of these so early, but my archive really needs cleaning, so why let these teams go to waste n_n

so i'm going to start off with this team first since its reallly good. it's nice bo around mega lop + spex hydreigon since spex dreigon is $$$ and obliterates everything. ice beam lop circumvents rocky helmet damage and still does similar damage, heal bell is a nice choice for status and stuff if you roll like that. rotom-w + jirachi is your common volturn and utility core that does a ton of things in just 2 slots. hw support + specs dreigon is just crazy btw. thunder wave rotom-w is legit since tflame has wisp and lures in things like chomp, sharp (when mono is revealed), and lando better. latios is latios and it checks electrics, keldeo, defogs, basic latios things. tflame was added since mega scizor was a pain to face and it helps out with a lot of faster threats + a nifty wincon.

this is a cool offense around hawlucha + weavile. from what i gathered the idea was that weavile breaks down hawlucha's checks so it can have an easy time setting up, which is not easy at all. so rotom, latios, and heatran came next as backbones that do a ton in 3 slots and gave me a reliable core with some defensive utility. heatran is magma storm + solar beam since waters are super annoying for this team. mega scizor came last as an all-around great mega that functions as a setup sweeper and check to dangerous mons (see: weavile, diancie, and mega alakazam). this team is weak to faster things since hawlucha has to activate unburden to even clean as well as you'd like, but there's priority. twave rotom is something that's okay for relieving this.

a nice bo made around mega aerodacty + manaphy. idea was mega aero can trap / beat most of manaphy's offensive checks easily, so it can setup without much worry. tg + 3 atks manaphy is used over the RD variant because bulky waters are a pain and stallbreaker tran softens up stall alongside it. latios is your run of the mill flexible mon; checks a lot in 1 slot, also lures skarm and weakens waters with tbolt. tran checks talon much better than mega aero, keeps mega sciz at bay, heatran. defensive tangrowth came next as a sand check and buffer against problem mons such as mega lop and garchomp. the last slot is bulky-sd garchomp. AM uses it a lot and i found it pretty effective.

a generic offense around the core of zard x + starmie + serperior. since they basis of the offensive part of the team was already established, i added a defensive core of rotom-w + landorus since they're an awesome duo that check sooo much in only 2 slots and momentum is always nice. scarf rachi helps with faster things like mega lop and zam. a bit weak to bisharp though, so a bulkier zard spread would be a nice idea.

bo around mega heracross + talonflame. mega heracross is a savage, but it falls short when it comes to offense. bulky sd talonflame is a nice partner that puts a hurting on offense. latios was added as a keldeo switch-in and defogger and switch-in to things. tossed on a core of spd jirachi and rotom-w since they're amazing together and check a massive amount of things. finally, scarf lando was added since i love it. thunder wave rotom is for zard-x since the team is a bit weak to it, but wisp is fine. if you choose wisp i usually run taunt on talonflame cuz it's good.

balance around mega gyarados + spikes. mega gyarados usually has some trouble with breaking past teams, but spikes support makes anything a super threat lol. hp fire latios was added to lure in ferrothorn and mega scizor, which are some big obstacles (especially the latter) for mega gyarados. skarmory is the chosen spiker since it checks sand and can phases around the opposition. heatran was a pretty obvious partner since it keeps mega scizor and talonflame at bay while setting rocks and softening up stall. since my stay on smogon i learned that you can't truly make a spikes stack team without magic guard, so clefable was added as a multipurpose mon that checks a ton of problems and functions speed control. also appreciates heatran softening stall for it. finally, scarf lando was added since it's pretty much the best scarfer in the tier. superpower is cool for hitting ferro hard and works nice if running tbolt to lure skarm and weaken waters on latios.

very goonish and generic mega medicham bo. follows the simple path of break everything with medicham, using volturn support in rotom-w and torn to get it into play. set rocks with heatran and soften up stall with it. bisharp is the only wincon, but its still a very good one that works well after medicham has done its job. clean with scarf lando + use it to revenge faster scary threats like mega diancie. pretty simple and weak to a few things like how most are.

really fun offense around mega sceptile + gyarados, a well known uu core. basic idea is that sceptile absorbs electric-type attacks aimed at gyarados so it won't be as pressured by them. a core of heatran + rotom-w is always good and covers so much in only two slots. scarf lando is my trademark and it brings a much better speed factor as well as a check to fast things aside from sceptile, who's low power can be disappointing at times when it comes to checking speedy threats with a smidgen of bulk. finally, band terrakion was added since i needed a dark resist as well as some kind of powerful wallbreaking presence and it also works great with volturn.

last but not least, a garbage goonish hazard stack around a core of lucario + mega lopunny. lucario essentially breaks down whatever bulky threat there is that mega lop can't muscle past. a backbone of defensive lando + ferro is very nice and covers a wide range of threats for the original core. starmie and talonflame were added together since I wanted some other source of speed aside from mega lop, and talon helps with keeping faster threats like mega zam at bay and it helps with keldeo since starmie is a really bad switch-in to it. talonflame is annoying since lando is the switch-in.

hello niños, i'm pretty done with ou until SuMO is released since i want to focus more on uu until next gen and most of that gen. so here's some fire i've built in commemoration of ORAS. i don't like doing another of these so early, but my archive really needs cleaning, so why let these teams go to waste n_n

so i'm going to start off with this team first since its reallly good. it's nice bo around mega lop + spex hydreigon since spex dreigon is $$$ and obliterates everything. ice beam lop circumvents rocky helmet damage and still does similar damage, heal bell is a nice choice for status and stuff if you roll like that. rotom-w + jirachi is your common volturn and utility core that does a ton of things in just 2 slots. hw support + specs dreigon is just crazy btw. thunder wave rotom-w is legit since tflame has wisp and lures in things like chomp, sharp (when mono is revealed), and lando better. latios is latios and it checks electrics, keldeo, defogs, basic latios things. tflame was added since mega scizor was a pain to face and it helps out with a lot of faster threats + a nifty wincon.

this is a cool offense around hawlucha + weavile. from what i gathered the idea was that weavile breaks down hawlucha's checks so it can have an easy time setting up, which is not easy at all. so rotom, latios, and heatran came next as backbones that do a ton in 3 slots and gave me a reliable core with some defensive utility. heatran is magma storm + solar beam since waters are super annoying for this team. mega scizor came last as an all-around great mega that functions as a setup sweeper and check to dangerous mons (see: weavile, diancie, and mega alakazam). this team is weak to faster things since hawlucha has to activate unburden to even clean as well as you'd like, but there's priority. twave rotom is something that's okay for relieving this.

a nice bo made around mega aerodacty + manaphy. idea was mega aero can trap / beat most of manaphy's offensive checks easily, so it can setup without much worry. tg + 3 atks manaphy is used over the RD variant because bulky waters are a pain and stallbreaker tran softens up stall alongside it. latios is your run of the mill flexible mon; checks a lot in 1 slot, also lures skarm and weakens waters with tbolt. tran checks talon much better than mega aero, keeps mega sciz at bay, heatran. defensive tangrowth came next as a sand check and buffer against problem mons such as mega lop and garchomp. the last slot is bulky-sd garchomp. AM uses it a lot and i found it pretty effective.

a generic offense around the core of zard x + starmie + serperior. since they basis of the offensive part of the team was already established, i added a defensive core of rotom-w + landorus since they're an awesome duo that check sooo much in only 2 slots and momentum is always nice. scarf rachi helps with faster things like mega lop and zam. a bit weak to bisharp though, so a bulkier zard spread would be a nice idea.

bo around mega heracross + talonflame. mega heracross is a savage, but it falls short when it comes to offense. bulky sd talonflame is a nice partner that puts a hurting on offense. latios was added as a keldeo switch-in and defogger and switch-in to things. tossed on a core of spd jirachi and rotom-w since they're amazing together and check a massive amount of things. finally, scarf lando was added since i love it. thunder wave rotom is for zard-x since the team is a bit weak to it, but wisp is fine. if you choose wisp i usually run taunt on talonflame cuz it's good.

balance around mega gyarados + spikes. mega gyarados usually has some trouble with breaking past teams, but spikes support makes anything a super threat lol. hp fire latios was added to lure in ferrothorn and mega scizor, which are some big obstacles (especially the latter) for mega gyarados. skarmory is the chosen spiker since it checks sand and can phases around the opposition. heatran was a pretty obvious partner since it keeps mega scizor and talonflame at bay while setting rocks and softening up stall. since my stay on smogon i learned that you can't truly make a spikes stack team without magic guard, so clefable was added as a multipurpose mon that checks a ton of problems and functions speed control. also appreciates heatran softening stall for it. finally, scarf lando was added since it's pretty much the best scarfer in the tier. superpower is cool for hitting ferro hard and works nice if running tbolt to lure skarm and weaken waters on latios.

very goonish and generic mega medicham bo. follows the simple path of break everything with medicham, using volturn support in rotom-w and torn to get it into play. set rocks with heatran and soften up stall with it. bisharp is the only wincon, but its still a very good one that works well after medicham has done its job. clean with scarf lando + use it to revenge faster scary threats like mega diancie. pretty simple and weak to a few things like how most are.

Great teams there, thanks for posting, they are all solid in this meta and i will actually use them. Noticed several mistakes tho, like the AV Tornadus-I and shouldn't the Ice Beam Lop on the last team have 12 spA EVs like in the other team? And guys, remember to use Jolly > Naive and put the spA EVs on atk if you get rid of Ice Beam. Something even worse is that on your Zard X Serp team you have 2 SR setters, change Jirachi to Scarf and i like how the ability of your talonflame is Brave Bird :p

EDIT: I almost used that max atk latios from your aero team...

Posting teams here too.

Decided to use Mega Medicham because it's an insane wallbreaker, also put Volcarona because it sweeps several teams after a Quiver Dance, Lando to check physical attackers, provide SR and voltturn support, Latios as a mandatory hazard remover with Volc and has Surf over Psyshock to bait Heatran so it helps winning with Volcarona or Clefable, who is CM Bold to check opposing physical attackers like opposing Medicham and Heracross better and then added Rotom-W as a Volt Switch user to form a voltturn core with Landorus and it is that fast to outspeed Bisharp, who is a threat for this team.

Specs regular Kyurem is a fairly potent threat if played correctly because it has a strong Draco Meteor like other dragons but has Earth Power to cover steels and Ice Beam as a secondary spammable STAB, doing the 2HKO on every Clefable set. Latios to form a double dragon core with Kyurem, easily overwhelming the opposing team and defogging to attempt to fix Kyurem's SR weakness, Heatran as a SR setter to check fairies and steels. Breloom was added as a physical sweeper/wallbreaker and its checks are put to sleep with Spore plus it appreciates Kyurem's ability to wallbreak if against Amoonguss or Tangrowth, two great pokes that stop Breloom. Needed a mega, ended up being Scizor and i think that BlazeLatias' post here explains it well. Landorus-T for speed control and it has HP Flying to lure opposing Breloom.

Built this team with Martin., started with the defensive core of Ferrothorn + Heatran to stack hazards and then Jellicent to spinblock and wall threats like Keldeo and Volcanion, Colbur Berry is to have a better matchup against Pursuit users. Gliscor was added as a ground immunity and status blocking boosting stallbreaker, we decided to put Acrobatics to beat Mega Heracross and Breloom. Reuniclus is used since a bulky psychic would be helpful there, it checks the likes of Mega Lopunny and Medicham and has a good synergy with Gliscor as they are both bulky setup sweepers and cover their weaknesses kinda well. Lastly, Mega Gyarados is a dark resist and brings some offensive presence to the team, being deadly with hazard stacking and it can sweep a good number of teams after a Dragon Dance.

So I saw a while ago some people using Recycle Eject Button Slowking in RU alongside trappers as an easy pivot, so I figured I'd try to build something like that for OU. I decided that I would try to set up for a Volcarona sweep, so I have Screech Dugtrio to trap Heatran and Chansey and Pursuit Aero for Torn and to check Keldeo, MLop, etc. Cobalion is my check to Weavile and Clefable as well as my SR setter, and my hazard control is 3 Support Lati.

Obviously, the team is weak to a ton of things, but I'd love suggestions on making this "'Perfect Pivot + 2 Trappers" idea work. Obviously, Aero can be switched for, say, Scarftar or Band Weavile if that suits the team better.
 
diggersby.png diancie.png rotom-wash.png tangrowth.png heatran.png garchomp.png It´s been a while since I post a team on this forum. Anyways. ORAS metagame is coming to an end, so I decided to ladder a bitt and enjoy the last month before 7th generation´s games are released. I´ve been building teams around a core of Banded Diggersby + Rotom-Wash, where Rotom acts as a pivot to bring in Diggersby safely so that he can punch holes on the opponent´s team. I paired these guys with many different Pokémon, including the likes of Clefable, Mega Scizor, Amoongus, Gliscor, such builds were working ok, but somehow they fall short. So I decided to re-build the team from 0 around the original core, and try to focus on using Pokémon I don´t usually run on my teams, and it actually worked out really well. The 1st Pokémon that came to my mind was Mega Diancie, easily one of the top 5 megas in OU, and for a good reason. I realized it has very nice synergy with Diggersby, and it also gave me a Fairy-Type which is a topmost priority when it comes to teambuilding in OU. The Next Pokémon I added was Physically Defensive Tangrowth, a Pokémon that I always wanted to use, but couldn´t fit in previous teams, which gave me a much needed check to Grass and Water-Types, and also a check to a lot of strong physical attackers in the tier. Plus, it alliviates pressure from Rotom, by being an extra check to Sand Offense. I realized that I still needed a Stealth Rock user, and at that moment I saw Heatran, a Pokémon that I always had a rare impression of. After using it, I realized how good it is. It gave me the Stealth Rock user I needed, plus a check to most Steel-Types, namely Offensive Mega Scizor been the most threatening one to this team, and much appreciated Taunt support to help Diancie with the Stall Matchup. And last but not least, Scarf Garchomp was added as my form of speed control, and revenge killer as the rest of the team is relatively slow. It´s surprising the amount of times that he saved me, and nobody expects it.

i'm waiting on pasta to boil so i may as well dump some of my okay-ish creations here

m-sciz + bisharp bo


import

wanted to build around bish + weav here, but ended up going with sciz + bish bc sciz is just really good. added wash-tom bc its role compression is pretty unrivaled in general and it checks nuisances to the starting point like wisp talon and tran. rocks clef bc i wanted to run a more offensive sciz that couldn't handle lop that well, and rocks clef is just really reliable and whatnot. rocks clef + rotom-w is pretty solid as a BO backbone if you're running an offensive steel like metagross, sciz, jirachi, etc. final picks were scarf tios and lo torn because i needed coverage vs zard and keld, as well as a more clear-cut breaker that could also deal with serp. beat astroboy once with this. was fun.

m-lop bo


import

refined version of mlop bo i've been using for ages. has influences from tdk teams and ultimately this seems to be the most ideal form the team can take on. think cell from dbz but x10 less interesting.

edit: pasta was pretty gross. shouldn't have added green pesto business. eugh

I actually want help for this team, it's good but I think it could be better, but idk what to change. Wanted to use something that was fast, powerful, and bulky so I went with Mega Metagross. Grass Knot helps Dragonite/Heatran by weakening bulky waters more than Thunder Punch can. Next I just felt like using defensive Tangrowth because it checks practically every physical attacker which was nice. Also, I was tired of losing to stuff like Excadrill and Mega Lopunny. DD Lum Dragonite is great and I found that a lot of teams just get swept by this pretty easily at +1. It's also my only source of priority. Specs Hydreigon is amazing and it breaks everything, lures in Clef which helps Dragonite a lot and overall is really good. I would've used Specs Latios but it was too Pursuit weak for my taste and Dark Pulse is way more spammable than anything Lati has. Added Heatran for rocks and a check to Latis, Faires, and Weavile. The Speed gives it enough to outspeed neutral natures base 70s and the defense EVs are pretty random, just tossed it there so I don't auto-lose to Weavile lol. Lastly I added Starmie to check Keldeo and spin hazards. I hate defensive Starmie but it was the only thing that would've worked here I think :(
 


Found a VinCune team somewhere on Smogon some time ago (sorry but really can't remember the original author), decided to make a couple of changes and managed to land in the top100 (currently around #80 I think).
As I said the team is based around the Tactidoggo Vincune, an insane threat who simply 6-0s unprepared teams. Cune hates, above everything, being statused and having his lefties knocked off: enter AV Conk, a good wisp/scald/plume switch in, a check to the most common KO users, and a KO user himself. SpDef Rachi provides rocks, forms a good spdef core with Konk, and gives the Doggo a second chance to screw teams thanks to HW. Gourgeist is such a cool mon (props to the original builder) who walls a good part of the metagame and provides great help to Cune with burns and leech seed. Mega-Aero improves tremendously the matchup vs offense. Earth Plate DD Lando cleans offensive teams or breaks past defensive cores depending on the necessities.

All in all a great team (again, thanks to the original builder). 4 grounded mons without any form of hazard control means that the matchup vs hazard stacking team is not too sweet, but still manageable. KyuB, CharY and all those broken wallbreakers are a pain in the neck too, so try to play smart around them.

Dumping my teams because Sun and Moon are just around the corner. This is more of a showcase than anything, don't see many of these around so I just wanna spice up the Gen 6 ladder one last time.


Hit r1 and went 49-0 on ladder. The team was originally made in the Aegislash meta and has stayed consistent throughout the everchanging metagame. Defog SpD Skarmory+Zapdos+Dugtrio is my anti-hazards core that is near impossible to keep hazards up against. And if you don't get hazards up against this team, you lose, plain and simple. The team wins, not by passive damage through hazards, but through status. Skarmory, Charizard, and Suicune are all very good at switching in due to their bulk and the amount of mons they check which allow they to easily spread status and put the opponent on a time limit. Suicune is also great because he can double as a sweeper which can save us in a lot of matches that happen to awry. Clefable acts as a sort of glue to the team by preventing ourselves from being inflicted by status and can act as a check or outright counter to the tier's set up sweepers. Dugtrio is the team's mvp. He traps Heatran so that Charizard-X can do work and is the last line of defense against the biggest threats in the tier: Charizard-X, Mega Lopunny, Kyurem-B. You name it. Screech allows him to trap and beat Thunder Wave Chansey which gives us free wins against most opposing stall teams. Rock Tomb allows him to check Charizard-X. If they stay in and DD before Mega Evolving they get taken out by a combination of Rock Tomb + Earthquake. The same thing happens to Volcarona. It's also used over Stone Edge because it's that much more accurate. Importable Team's goal: Keep hazards out of play and wear the opposing team down with Status



Hit r1. The building of the team was fairly straightforward. I chose Mega Slowbro and the best looking typings to complement him: which were Heatran and Ferrothorn to form a nice FWG core. I then went with Latios and Gliscor to cover Ground types, Keldeo, Charizard-Y, etc. Tyranitar was then added to check Birds and trap the Latis and Gengar. The team wins on the back of Mega Slowbro's brokenness (walls many physical attackers and deals damage only a dedicated special wall is willing to take). It's too bad he isn't necessarily a huge threat because his typing inherently limits his effective teammates. Latios's set allows him to function as a sort of wallbreaker and as a check to Suicune. I think he has a cool set, or rather, it was cool when no one else used it. Given that this team was built before Nado-T, Weavile, and Alakazam took off in usage, you will often find them holding the team back as they require extensive outplaying to beat. Importable Team's goal: Use type synergy to gain momentum and outdamage the opponent until we can clean house with ScarfTar



I haven't used this team on ladder, but it has proven itself from being tested against good players. I got the original outline of the team from Ben Gay, but did a number of changes to it. 100% STAB Hurricane + Trio to trap Steel types is too cool and reminded me of the good ol BW days with Rain+GeneTrio. Substitute is used on Pidgeot because, "muh confuse hax" and Screech on Dugtrio is used to trap Chansey. Rachi, Rotom-W, and Latios forms a core that soft checks a good portion of the meta while keeping the offensive element of the team. Jirachi's set lures in Rotom-W for Pidgeot and other problematic mons eg. Volcanion. Entei ain't bad at all. Slower teams don't want to switch into this and it can make for effective clean up late into the game with Extreme Speed after the team's been weakened by Pigeot+Trio and an Entei switch in or two. Importable Team's goal: Use Volt-Turn to gain momentum and whittle away at the opponent until you can clean with either Mega Pidgeot or Entei



Hit r1. Really cool team. I started out knowing that I wanted to test 3 attacks + Roost Charizard-X. It seemed like it would break most balanced teams easily and it's a set no one is prepared for, especially after they've seen Roost. After adding Zard I decided to test out Chesnaught because the idea of the team was to use Zard-X without hazard support. And it worked out really well up to a point. That version of the team used CB Azumarill over Tentacruel, but I eventually made the switch to the latter as the better players understood how to beat the team. Many had lost to it because they'd rid the field of hazards and give my Zard free switch ins. Tentacruel wraps up the FWG combo and gives me a good shot at keeping Rocks out of play for easier Zard switch ins. He also gives me a solid check to two deadly Water types: Keldeo and Azumarill. Jirachi is there to set Rocks on Lati@s which love to switch into Chesnaught for the clear. This combo allows me to keep hazards up at all times against the majority of teams out there. Cress lols @ Dragons and Fighting types. Raikou is necessary as a check to Flying types, Gengar, Thundurus, and Mega Manectric. His speed is also good for cleaning up towards the end of a match. Despite being mediocre Raikou does perform its job well enough to warrant a spot on the team. Importable Team's goal: Keep our hazards up and the opponent's off. Force the opponent to switch and we eventually get a big play or two with Zard X. The opponent should then be weak enough that we win on our defensive backbone



Hit r1. Probably my favorite team to use. All of the mons were chosen pre-Volcanion release. Got to work on the sets when it finally hit. Abomacanion for the FWG core in 2 mons. Abomasnow runs Giga Drain over Wood Hammer, because Rotom-W's Wisp was too crippling otherwise. Volcanion's set was chosen to make some use of Hail's passive damage. Clefable is.. Clefable. Sets Rocks easily, checks Dragons, and is immune to Hail damage. Gliscor is pseudo immune and is the main switch in to Ground types. SD Knock Off is to break slower teams and gives me a passable switch in for Gengar, which dumps on everything else. Latios checks all sorts of things as usual: Charizard Y, Keldeo, Venusaur. Yada yada. Excadrill helps keeps Rocks off my side, checks DD Zard-X, and cleans up the opponent's team in the late game. Importable Team's goal: Pressure the opponent with constant damage until we can clean with Scarf Excadrill



Fresh team featuring SD Mega Venusaur. Heard Zamrock talking about SD Venu so I decided to build it overnight. Passed him what I had the next day and he revised it. This is what I decided to go with and it wouldn't have worked out without his help. SD Venu functions as a stallbreaker and sweeper in the lategame against balanced teams. He is also capable of checking Water types in a pinch. Knock Off is to hit Lati@s and remove Shed Shell from Skarmory and Ferrothorn. The second mon I chose for the team was Magnezone to get rid of pesky Skarmory, Scizor, and Ferrothorn. Chople Thunder Wave gives us a check to Alakazam and Nado-T while still performing its role. I then went with Heatran because he pairs well with Grass types. Go figure. Air Balloon gives me a quick Ground type switch in and Wisp is mainly to check Bisharp. Choice Scarf Gardevoir gives me a decent Lati@s switch in, revenge killer, and full restore for my Venusaur. Mamoswine is used to anti lead common Ground types and wallbreak the opposing team. Latios is the all encompassing check to random threats. Importable Team's Goal: Pressure the opponent with our heavy hitters until they reveal something we can trap. Finish up by cleaning the weakened team with Choice Scarf Gardevoir or Mamoswine's Ice Shard.

The build's goal is to set up tailwind and win with a breaker. Your setters are Talonflame, who gets priority and an immediate switch out thanks to eject button (or dying, w/e works), Whimsicott, who also gets sweet priority but also taunt, memento, and encore to generate additional free turns, and Custap Skarm with tailwind over taunt. These 3, assuming that they only set tailwind once each, allow for 8 turns of speed dominance, as opposed to the 2 you'd get from one setter. Kyurem and Heracross are standard absurd breakers, beating pretty much every defensive threat between the two. Sub and earthquake are options for hera over bullet seed. Rhyperior and Talon make for offense suppressors. Rhyperior beats birds and absorbs twaves. Rock Wrecker is a panic button, you can run explosion here, too, but rhyp is often bulky enough to survive a recharge turn. Earthquake is wonderful if you can remove ground immunities with ice punch or wrecker.
 

I wanted to build around a Kyu-B that out-speed common base 100's, examples being manaphy, Charizard-Y and Mega Medicham. Fusion Bolt and Ice Beam hit everything extremely hard except steels and Rotom-W. Kyu draws in the Lati@s twins a lot, as well as mons that like to run Focus miss, so i thought that scarf ttar could capitalize on this via pursuit. Ttar also checks birdspam for kyu. I threw on Excadrill to take advantage of the sand- it pressures a lot of teams, and can win against the likes of jolly mega medicham. I have rapid spin just in case, but it usually acts as a late game cleaner once its checks are gone. HP [Fire] on Kyu-b removes ferro and scizor for excadrill, as they would otherwise check both kyu and excadrill. Excadrill can also force out non fire move variants of clef wich beat kyu and ttar otherwise. I realized this offensive pressure would cause some switches so i thought about adding a basic hazard stacking core. Defensive lando provides good defensive converage, rocks, and a slow U-turn for Kyu-b and scarf ttar. Ferro also blanket checks a lot of the tier, and can provide good utility against rotom-w while also being a good switch in vs mega diance that lack HP [Fire]. I opted for lefties simply because i felt that with iron barbs, two rocky helmet users would be redundant- i also prefer recovery on my steels. The defensive duo punishes most of the physical attacks in tier to within range of excadrill. I was at last weak to Keldeo and to an extent Conkeldur, so i threw on Mega Latias as glue. Ice beam and Thunderbolt actually do put in a lot of work which i was pleasantly surprised at- a lot of people will stay in with Nido/ Chomp/ Lando expecting... well not an ice beam. Tbolt also doubles up with fusion bolt to remove skarmory for excadrill. I can't decide whether i prefer reflect type or Calm Mind. Both have their uses, although i am leaning towards reflect type.

Basically via hazard stacking, lures, rocky helmet damage, and chip damage against checks, you wear down the other team until their excadrill checks are gone and then go on to to sweep. It has some crippling weaknesses to fighting/ fire/ fairy, but i have so far managed to stay afloat with it (16-0).

alrdy posted in oras ou sample teams etc

We decided to build an Hyper Offensive team around offensive Scizor-Mega as the meta is shifted torwards checking more defensive variants of this mon. Then we added a lead and we thought Aerodactyl was a very fitting mon since it gives hazard support and also tailwind (also outspeeds azelf oo). At this point we added Keldeo since it has good synergy with Scizor and beats Sableye-Mega that, considering we had aero lead, was a very threatening mon. Then we wanted more offensive pressure on Common Scizor counters&checks so we decided to add Bisharp to the team so that we can weaken them to then proceed to sweep. As Fifth mon we picked CB Dragonite that not is capable of wallbreaking but it can also Revengekill threatening setup sweepers with Extreme Speed. As the last mon we proceeded to Thundurus-I to hit birds and Bgrounds such as Garchomp and Landorus-T and also to lure Ferrothorn.

I decided to try and build a team around the core of Mega Gardevoir and Bisharp, an old but still pretty effective duo, and I ended up with this balanced/bulky offense team.

Gardevoir and Bisharp are the focus here, obviously. Mega Gardevoir is a terrifying wallbreaker that can wreck balanced and stall builds and can even cripple its own counters with Will-o-Wisp, while Bisharp can cripple/sweep teams with its powerful Knock Off and priority after a boost and a little prior damage. The two have good type and role synergy and do a good job of applying pressure and breaking down opposing teams.

Gardevoir and Bisharp both love getting chip damage in to break through mons more easily, so Tank Chomp was added to the team. This team really loves the support Garchomp provides; aside from providing Stealth Rocks and a nifty Dragon/Fairy/Steel core, Garchomp is an ideal partner to take on the types of Pokemon that will inevitably switch in on Gardevoir. Typical Gardevoir checks such as Scizor, Metagross, Talonflame, Jirachi, etc are checked by Garchomp (especially if Gardevoir has burned them) while Rough Skin + Rocky Helmet wears them down considerable, allowing Gardevoir to break through if they try to check it again. The extra chip damage is also perfect for Bisharp to put foes within the range of his Sucker Punch for a sweep.

With Bisharp and Garchomp already on the team, I went for Sp. Defensive Skarmory, which provides Spikes support in addition to checking Fairy types. Skarmory obviously forms a nice defensive core with Garchomp, and the spikes support it provides helps rack up further damage. Thanks to Garchomp and Bisharp, these hazards usually stay up or get punished: Garchomp inflicts major damage against Rapid Spinners, while Defog gives Bisharp enough power to start a sweep.

At this point I wanted a glue Pokemon to handle some of the team's issues. Water types like Keldeo were a nuisance and could run through the team, and Ferrothorn could be a pain to take down while it sets up hazards and Leech Seed all over the team. I found that Amoonguss answered the majority of my problems, easily checking Keldeo, punishing Ferrothorn with HP Fire and the switch in with status, and providing great support for the team overall with its pivoting powers. It also provides Sleep for the team, which is absolutely disgusting. The set I've been using runs Giga Drain/Clear Smog/HP Fire, primarily to check Ferrothorn and stop set up sweepers like Serperior and Clefable. I've been wondering if Stun Spore over Clear Smog would be better, though, since the team would love the paralysis support.

Choice Scarf Keldeo was my last choice to provide revenge killing support and a back up sweeper after the opposing team has been broken down. It's a nice complement to Gardevoir and Bisharp since they tend to break down more defensive teams and Keldeo's usual checks such as Latios, while Keldeo can check faster threats and set up sweepers while beating down on offense.

So that's my team. Any feedback or criticism would be appreciated.

(Also, since this team is focused on experimenting with the Gardevoir/Bisharp core, I'd appreciate leaving that part of the team untouched.)

Good showcase of the team's hazard stacking/chip damage capabilities. Gardevoir's burn along with hazards and Garchomp's Rough Skin overwhelms Excadrill to the point where it can't remove the hazards.

Gardevoir puts in work here, burning Metagross early on and leaving it crippled against Garchomp. The next time it switches in, it can't take the Hyper Voice, leaving the opponent with nothing to take Hyper Voice.

Made a handful of misplays here, but Bisharp is able to do a lot of damage to the opponent, especially while Amoonguss is on standby to take on Keldeo for it.
 
Put a new team together to experiment with an old core. Feedback is appreciated.

Very nice team you have there, I always love to build around powerful wallbreakers such as Mega Gardevoir, especially if they break down stall. One change that I would make is Taunt over Will-O-Wisp on Gardevoir, as Garchomp already packs Fire coverage for the aforementioned switches into Gardevoir, and it allows your team to break stall more easily (Taunting a Chansey and stopping them from recovering the damage is glorious, and Gardevoir in particular will have a much easier time against it).
Something that I would also consider is to change Bisharp from Black Glasses to Life Orb, to have that extra power in its Steel moves, and give a boost to its Dark coverage as well.
 


This is a team I put together based on some of my favorite pokemon. I'm needing a bit of help, as I'm struggling to get the team to function as I need it to, which is due to my lack of understanding of how the competitive side of the game works.

Okay, so I'm still fairly new to competitively playing pokemon, so this is gonna be poorly explained, I just know it.

I'm attempting to build a team focused on Mega Gardevoir. I've only played 3 games, all against the same person, I won 1, lost 2.

The purpose of this team is supposed to be clearing away the threats to Gardevoir so I can end the game with her. However, she keeps getting outsped by Mega Charizard X (Not surprised, she's not the fastest thing) some teams just have so many steel types or hard hitting physical pokemon that I rarely have any openings to use her.

How this is supposed to flow, is I use Heatran as a starter, setting up stealth rocks or using taunt to stop my opponent from doing the same, likely forcing a switch, so I can drop Toxic on something or setting my own Stealth Rocks up.

I use Tyranitar to take on things like Gengar, Metagross and Mega Charizard X and it's been doing that part well. So much so, it's usually what I end up relying on to try and win, instead of Gardevoir.

Excadrill was supposed to be my back up in the event T-Tar went down but often, I find Excadrill not helping, at all, looking for something to replace it. It's just not needed and I end up using it as a sacrifice, more than anything.

Tornadus-Therian Ferrothorn and certain fighting-types and other grass types is the main thing I have it, Knock Off and U-Turn make for some nice options, when they are needed.

Latios is there to deal with other Dragon types, Poison types and steel types that threaten Gardevoir as well as Hazards.
