Week 4's Winner goes to Gros orteil and Mega Venusaur, you two enter the Hall of Fame! Sadly there weren't many votes, but do I blame you? No, I don't. We all have lives outside of Smogon, but if this does happen again (which it might) I'll change the schedule.

Here is Week 5's Team, credit goes to DennisEG for the team.

Heracross-Mega (M) @ Heracronite
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Pin Missile
- Close Combat
- Rock Blast

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 64 HP / 248 Atk / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Waterfall
- Bounce

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Draco Meteor
- Roost
- Defog

Landorus (Landorus-Therian) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 188 HP / 216 Def / 104 Spe
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge

Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Flash Cannon
- Earth Power
- Stone Edge


The team is based around a deadly core to break stall which is Mega Cross + Sub DD Gyarados, Mega Cross remove the bulky mons very easily so late game gyarados can handle the rest of the team. After that you can lure ferro too with HP Fire Latias which nobody expects. Landorus-T was added to be a Stealth Rocker and Heatran to be a fast attacker. So What's His Last?

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Spikes

The team is currently very weak to Jolly DD Altaria, as well as other Fairies like Thunder Wave Clefable and Azumarill. Ferrothorn does a solid job of dealing with these threats, all the while providing neat Spikes support, checking Manaphy which can be a huge threat to the team as well, and completing the FWG core in general. Its weaknesses to Fire and Fighting are also easily mitigated by the rest of the team, 3 members of the team resisting the former, and 4 the latter, giving it great overall synergy with the team.

Bisharp @ BlackGlasses
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 204 Atk / 52 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit

Bisharp has a beautiful defensive synergy with this team, balancing out the weaknesses of the other members perfectly, most notably flying, rock, ghost, and ice.

Knock off provides utility. Sucker punch for powerful and much-needed priority as Gyarados is kinda slow before setting up and Heatran isn't the fastest scarfer. Pursuit to trap Latis etc and iron head for fairies in case Heatran gets overwhelmed.

Jolly is to outspeed the likes of Rotom-W. Special defence EVs ensure he survives a HP fire from Latios after rocks to avoid pursuit/sucker mind games.

Thundurus-I @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 68 Atk /188 SpA/ 252 Spe
Naive Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Ice/Grass Knot
-Knock Off
-Thunder Wave

Basically the mixed Thundurus set except with Prankster and T-Wave.

Thundy and Mega-Hera are best buds. Between Thundurus, Scarf Tran, and two Intimidate users Hera doesn't have to worry about birds at all. Thundurus lures Lati@s with Knock Off alleviating one of Hera's (and really the team's) biggest checks. It also zaps bulky water types which this team struggles against. Hera, Tran, and HP Fire Latias can beat Ferrothorn so you can spam Thunderbolt unimpeded. Priority T-Wave gives the team a panic button against opposing set-up mons, and can slow down offensive teams to allow Hera to plow through. With para-hax and sub, Gyara might also be able to snag a game winning extra DD. The choice between HP Ice or Grass Knot goes down to what you think is more useful in the current metagame. GK can surprise KO Quagsire on stall and smack Hippowdon for big damage. HP Ice is get past Garchomp, Gliscor, and opposing Landorus.

Congratulations Gros Orteil!

I want to nominate Breloom for this round:


Breloom (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Mach Punch
- Rock Tomb
- Bullet Seed
- Spore

Why?
I notice a weakness to Azumarill, Bisharp and Lopunny-Mega. Breloom offensively checks them all, and I guess Spore is always a good bonus. I think Breloom can be an optimal candidate because the main counters to Breloom are rather well covered by the team.
Mach Punch should be pretty useful to pick up a Gyarados-Mega or an Excadrill, because they may be very threatening if they set-up.

Good luck to everybody, very interesting team!

Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]

One of the best checks to Azumarill, which completely destroys this team. Leaf Storm is used over Giga Drain to actually OHKO it. Regenerator allows it to keep coming in repeatedly to counter a lot of Physical mons.

Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch

Toxicroak is a nice addition to the team to help out with the weakness to Azumarill, Clefable and Starmie as it can outspeed and KO them with the appropriate move. Toxicroak also forms a nice offensive core with Gyarados while also offering an alternative way to get rid of Ferrothorn.

Here is Week 6's Team, Credit goes to AD impish john for the team.

Medicham-Mega @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Ice Punch

Weavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Knock Off
- Pursuit

Heatran @ Power Herb
Ability: Flash Fire

Timid Nature

- Solar Beam
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock

Tornadus-Therian @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 92 HP / 160 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature

Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Belly Drum
- Play Rough
- Superpower


The team was based off of the simple core of Mega Medicham and Weavile as Weavile can Pursuit trap the mons that threaten Medicham. Heatran was added to be a Stealth Rocker and the use Power Herb+Solar Beam is a nice lure against some water types the are a problem. Tornadus-Therian was added for Ground Type coverage as nothing can switch-in taking an EQ. Azumarill being added for a sweeper/win-con after Mega Medicham has wallbreaken most of its threats. So What's His Last?
