Neverused Teambuilding Competition
Hello and welcome to the third edition of the Neverused Teambuilding Competition! The goal of this project is to observe and better understand how experienced NU players go about building their teams around a particular core. It's also a great way to improve and refine your own teambuilding skills, or just simply learn how others do it! Anyone is free to participate and I encourage as much discussion as possible; however, I'd like to point out that you do not have to post a team to contribute to this thread. Contant feedback is allowed and actually preferred in this thread, so if you have comments or concerns about someone's team, don't be afraid to post it! The process is as follows:
Each round, I will choose a core of one or two Pokemon. It is then up to you to build a team around it, designing sets, teammates, roles, and everything in between. Identifying weaknesses, strategies, and so forth are key parts of teambuilding and I'm quite interested to see how that carries through in this thread. I also hope to emphasize a lot of creativity with this as well—new gems and underrated Pokemon and cores are popping up all the time, and hopefully this thread can bring about a lot of new discoveries about the metagame! After the submission period is over (which will be after around give or take a week) I will announce the voting period, where you will get a couple of days to vote on what you think is the best team. By the end of the voting period, the votes will be tallied and team with the most votes will be pastebinned and archived in the Hall of Fame I will be posting below, and the process will start again with a new core.
Some ground rules:
+
Jumpluff is a pretty damn underrated sweeper in the current meta, and Piloswine is a great supporter for a Jumpluff sweep. Pilo is able to break the steel-types that give jumpluff problems, while also setting up rocks which are usually invaluable when Jumpluff starts sweeping since it rarely has enough power to beat teams without any support.

Some ground rules:
- In order to PM me your team, click on my profile picture and click "start a conversation", and make sure to include a team import and description, and title the PM "Teambuilding Competition [Round __]"
- Make sure you have a paragraph describing how your team functions and how it supports the core.
- Don't insult users if their teams aren't up to standard, feel free to question why people are running certain things. In fact, I highly encourage discussion but don't be rude about it. Basically, just don't be a jerk.
- Use hide tags when posting your team, otherwise we will all hate you.
- I will post when you have a day left to get your teams posted.
- Feel free to PM me any changes you have to your team up until I post them!
