So when I was thinking about the team I knew I wanted to use Nidoking and Volcarona but with more emphasis on a Volcarona sweep, Nidoking as a supplement in nurturing Clefable and some fairies.. A lot of Volcaronas issues stem from grounded mons like Heatran and Garchomp where it needs to choose a coverage option to break it but loses out on hitting something important. I felt like going the hazard route would beneficial here accompanied by Starmie and M-Aerodactyl for pursuit support to break Torn-T better while trying to accommodate said sweep for the fiery moth. Playing Gen 1 games recently has inspired me to occasionally utilize the hazards + boom concept with Normal Gem Explosion Lando-T and Custap Ferrothorn providing the Explosions to cushion up fat teams. Starmie provides hazard removal with a basic set and I chose Psychic to net a higher damage output on stuff like defensive M-Venu, Rotom-W, and defensive waters that can be normally seen on stalls. Sucker Punch Nidoking lets me get the jump on Alakazam formes instead of being always forced to switch or make risky plays while making sure its matchup against Latis isn't a complete liability. Passho Volcarona is to make sure a Keldeo or Azumarill doesnt stop me in the process entirely, and only scrubs would dare use Modest Volcarona x_x. I'll be the first to tell you I don't like Earthquake M-Aerodactyl with its access to other coverage moves, but unfortunately it's a necessary evil to not keel over completely to Mega Manectric while putting more focused pressure on Heatran, a big obstacle with the current Volcarona set. I've been thinking about using Lum Berry Volcarona but this would amplify the pressure of Water types so for now I'm content with Passho Berry. Enjoy.

This team has a slight weakness to sand and Talonflame. For the most part these aren't issues if you understand that sometimes you're gonna have to man up and make some plays once in awhile to get the results you need.

Gonna update this thread tomorrow at pretty much the same time as today so if you want to post a team... now is your chance!

So yeah, a couple more of teams would be nice. Reviving so it is not forgotten.

The strategy of this team is very simple. I have to lure Clefable's checks and counters thanks to Latios' and Mega Altaria's sets. Special Defensive Hippowdon helps soften the weakness to the likes of Diancie and Mega Gardevoir, which tend to be problematic. Rotom-Wash is my check to Flying-types and Landorus-Therian which gains a lot of momentum allowing a teammate to enter for free. The team has little trouble dealing with Mega Venusaur, albeit it can be played around with Nidoking, Latios, and good predictions.

BugSpam with Nidoking. What are some good switchins to M-Beedrill/BandZor's U-Turn? Heatran, Ferrothorn, bulky Landorus-T, TankChomp, Skarmory. These are also Pokemon that Nidoking OHKOs, which is cool. Nido breaks down balance while Beedrill and BandZor really hurt offense with Drill outspeeding and Zor having very strong priority. To round out the team, offensive Starmie keeps rocks off while also luring Ferro for Drill/Zor, TankChomp provides defense against Mega-Lop and other priority like Pinsir/BandNite, and DD Land-T helps the sand matchup and gives some stallbreaking power. Team has some trouble with Chansey (consider Superpower on Nido if this is a big issue) and Char-X.

Description

Nidoking provides a wallbreaker for the team, and is able to OHKO many threats, and more prominently, switch in safely on Clefable. However, it is extremely lacking in speed, so it really requires a Volt-Turn core to be able to come in safely. Furthermore, Thunder Wave really helps it by slowing down faster threats. Therefore, Chansey offense. My stealth rocker, wall that deals with a metric ton of threats that the team has issues with. Thunder Wave is the best move in Pokemon that you can throw around with minimal repercussion. Weak to Charizard-X? Chansey can take a hit and Thunder Wave. Weak to Bisharp? Chansey can take a hit and Thunder Wave. Of course it doesn't enjoy getting Knocked Off but it works so well as a one-time check to a super dangerous threat, and it can provide lots of team support if you don't need that. Volt-Turn core to get momentum back from the momentum that people claim Chansey loses despite Thunder Wave being the best move in existence. No idea who is gaining momentum by getting their shit paralyzed but whatever. Latios for Defog.

Description

So yeah this is a fun team that I've been rocking with for the past couple of months, and overall it's been an enjoyable team that really puts in work. I started off with Nidoking + Jirachi because Clefable can go f*** itself, and it's a nice strong offensive core: Nidoking wallbreaks while Jirachi wears down offense with its STAB's and great ability to flinch things to death while also providing Healing Wish support to my team. Rotom-Wash was a natural teammate to deal with ground types such as Lando who can be quite a pain to this team, and Rotom's spread speed creeps those who speed creep 8 speed Lando-I. Latios provides natural hazard removal support while Celebi provides another check to Keldeo while being able to set up hazards and gain momentum for my team with U-Turn along with Jirachi. And finally M-Gyara is there to clean once its checks are eliminated, while also singlehandedly being able to demolish stall builds with Taunt+DD. Overall this is a nice fun team that, while annoyed by certain mons, such as darks for example (what else would you expect with three Psychic types on one team, lol), is just too much fun, and really shows off the power that Nidoking brings to the table.

Description

The theme is nidoking,so I wanted to build a bulky offense team with it.The nidoking set needs no explanation.Since it struggles to switch in a lot of threats,I added lando for u-turn.Landorus-T is immune to the Ground-type moves that threaten Nidoking and helps with Nidoking's bad matchup against sand teams, while Nidoking is capable of breaking a lot of Pokemon that check it such as Ferrothorn, Garchomp, and bulky Water-types in general.It also helps with stealth rock.Raikou helps checking faster Electric-types such as Mega Manectric, Thundurus, and opposing Raikou, as they all deal heavy damage to Nidoking with Hidden Power Ice.Raikou also helps check the likes of Gengar since Nidoking lacks Sucker Punch, as well as checking Keldeo and Talonflame.It also forms a volt turn core with landorus-therian and gives the team a winning condition.Klefki is able to set spikes to capitalize nidoking's wall breaking ability,and Thunder Wave to provide speed control and slow down faster Pokemon, allowing Nidoking to pick them off more easlike.Klefki is notable for its ability to switch into Weavile and force it out.Tank Garchomp punishes powerful priority moves and helps weaken Pokemon by phazing them with Dragon Tail.Also,dragon tail has an amazing combination with stealth rock and spikes.Mega Alakazam is here to pressure offensive teams,which nidoking doesn't have a decent matchup against,
while Nidoking helps break bulkier Pokemon for it.Mega Alakazam is also notable for its ability to handle weather teams with Trace.If you like the team,please give a like:)

Description

I don't really like building around 1 specific pokemon or core in this competition but coincidentally I just build a team featuring Nidoking a few days ago. This was not intended to be the most serious team but it still worked better than most of my serious teams because common threats such as Tornadus-T, Weavile and Azumarill are stopped pretty well because of the solid defensive core. The team started with a core I used a few times before: CM Slowbro + CM Clefable. I wanted to give the core a little twist by using some less common moves so I used CM Focus Blast Slowbro. I later replaced it because with the addition of Poliwrath and Chansey, the main targets were a lot less threatening. I just got the weird idea to make this a full Kanto team so I added Chansey and Zapdos for hazards control. Didn't want to go too defensive because pokemon like Hoopa-U are used a lot in this metagame, so I added Nidoking because it helps a lot with pokemon like Mega Heracross and Breloom. I thought a lot about the Nidoking set and in the first ten or so matches. I went for Toxic Spikes to have even more hazards control, but after testing I realised I needed the extra coverage. Ice Beam / Sucker Punch is slashed because I am still not 100% convinced about each of them. Sucker Punch prevents me from getting 6-0d by Gengar and also helps a lot against CM Alakazam, Mega Gardevoir and Starmie (preventing the Rapid Spin) but Ice Beam is a great alternative because nobody likes Lando-T / Garchomp. At this point many offensive Water- and Dark-Types had a really easy time against my team and to stay in the Kanto theme, Poliwrath fit perfectly. I really dislike Resttalk but I knew I needed the longetivty so I went Rest + Chesto with Heal Bell in the back in case its Chesto is Knocked Off. Reason for not having Sleep Talk being is that I wanted to try out Encore and ever since the first match I just love the combination of Encore + Circle Throw + Hazards. The last change was that I changed Clefable to Unaware because I didn't want to get 6-0d by TG RD 2 Atks Manaphy, Reuniclus and CM Latios. In the end, it turned out to be a really fun and quiet effective team, even with the lack of a Steel-Type (last time building without a Steel-Type was more than 25 teams ago).

Description

BugSpam with Nidoking. What are some good switchins to M-Beedrill/BandZor's U-Turn? Heatran, Ferrothorn, bulky Landorus-T, TankChomp, Skarmory. These are also Pokemon that Nidoking OHKOs, which is cool. Nido breaks down balance while Beedrill and BandZor really hurt offense with Drill outspeeding and Zor having very strong priority. To round out the team, offensive Starmie keeps rocks off while also luring Ferro for Drill/Zor, TankChomp provides defense against Mega-Lop and other priority like Pinsir/BandNite, and DD Land-T helps the sand matchup and gives some stallbreaking power. Team has some trouble with Chansey (consider Superpower on Nido if this is a big issue) and Char-X.

Team 7 by Vinc608 has won this round. Congratulations, no worries I will add this team and the previous to the hall of fame shorty :V

Guess we should just move to the next round

Round 30:

+

​

The option to running the mega is up there in case you want to run it. Pretty functional offensive core with pretty notorious typing synergy and if you make a team with these 2 you are like never weak to rain and stuff. Toxicroak help gyarados get past annoying grass and water types that can be troublesome, gyarados setups against stuff that trouble toxicroak (if mega even better)

Best of luck on this round everyone.
