All right so the concept I built around here was fuck weaknesses so I decided to chuck type resist berries on 4/6 of my team members 'cause lol I wanna fuck with people like that and because type resist berries are the best items in this game because I said so. Roseli Chomper beats Diancie leads like they're nothing and I've run Dragon Rush over Dragon Claw or Outrage because fuck that weak-ass 75 BP STAB and if I'm locked I can't beat Diancie after killing something. Tyranitar uses that accuracy as its main STAB and Garchomp has an even more powerful secondary STAB so fuck it. Next up comes Klefki. Got that powerful™ Fairy Lock to allow me to guarantee a kill against a fat water with Serp or to give me setup fodder with Landorus. Next up we have the almight Yache Berry DD Lando-T which is the godly because it doesn't get RK'd by Weavile at +2 and can just fucking wreak teams. Next up the god Shuca Volcanion allows me to stop all those naughty Ground-types from KOing me. Not running max speed because otherwise I just kinda get shat on by Azumarill so yea bulk is better here than tying with Breloom. Next up ScarfTar because theis team is a slow piece of crap outside of +2 Lando-T so yeah I prefer the speed over the power on my Obligatory Pursuit Trapper™. Finally the god that is Yache Serperior gets a boost as it kills something and then those Weavile who come in and think they have a free Icicle Crash get blown the fuck back when Serperior lives the hit and OHKOs back because its fucking jesus. Alternatively you can shit on SpD Talon with Coba Berry+HP Rock which eases the matchup a little and is all-around just very useful.

Edit: Nice 'n' 2.5kth like

The Stall CT

This is a pretty cool team that I made to take on stall players, and it actually has been pretty cool to use. Basically Fire Blast Clef+sub hera+tg rd manaphy makes it so that you're set vs every stall team in existence, which is really nice. Clefable is a fat piece of shit that can beat so many teams that's it's fucking insane. Mana offers a really good wincon vs a multitude of teams and can put in some work vs offense at all. MHera can get a sub up vs stall obviously, but also a lot of offensive teams since most bulky ground have an insanely difficult time doing any major damage to it. Lum SD chomp can be changed to tankchomp if you want, but that's really up to you and it's just a cool set to set up rocks vs msab. Dazzling gleam keys can put some pressure on msab and make sure that weakened msab from facing lum sd chomp can't switch in unless it wants to get rekt by dazzling gleam. Lastly, latios offers a solid attacker, being able to spam draco and having hp fire to lure in shit for teammates which is pretty cool. Overall this is a pretty fun team to use since stall players are gonna click x the second that they see this and it's a lot more fun to play 5 minute HO games than stall and balance ones.

Description :

1) Klefki's set is standard, spikes because this thing KILLS grounded opponents, Magnet Rise is cool, Play Rough is good stab move although a bit weak due to Klefki's bad offensive stats and no offensive EV investment but it kills most subs in one hit, TW cripple annoying setup sweepers.

2) I think that Scarf Garchomp is a very strong pokemon due to his high speed stat and a good amount of attack, he outspeeds MCharizardX at +1, he outspeeds Latias/os, he outspeeds Kyu-B even if he is scarfed, and with his good coverage he hits pretty much everything very hard, Earthquake/Outrage are his 2 stabs, don't forget to be careful with Outrage when there is fairies or very resilient Steel-type setup pokemons who may take advantage of this, use Earthquake if possible. Poison Jab punishes fairies who try to switch in, Stone Edge destroys flying types avoiding Earthquake.

3) I chose Mega-Manectric because he's a very powerful electric-type pokemon who can break through big threats to Garchomp like Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Scizor ... And both of his abilities synergize very well with Gyarados, I chose Flamethrower instead of Overheat because it breaks through most of the pokemons you want to counter with Overheat, especially because most of them are grounded and take Klefki's spikes damage, and avoid the annoying -2 SpA after the attack, especially great if the opponent can switch something which can take advantage of this and resists fire-type attacks

4) Weavile to form the great offensive core MManectric/Weavile, he's good against the annoying tanks like Chansey/Cresselia and Porygon2 with Knock Off, Pursuit is good to trap a lot of Defog/RSpin users, he's also very strong against dragon-types, especially Dragonite and Altaria-Mega who are pretty strong against this team

5) Ferrothorn is my rock setter, counter to Hippowdon, to RotomW, very good against non-Fire coverage Tyranitar, and a very good counter to Mega-Gardevoir and most fairies in fact, set is standard : Gyro Ball against fast/fairies, Power Whip against things that it hits super effectively or are very resistant to gyro ball, Leech Seed is cool for recovery

6) Gyarados' Intimidate is good when paired with Manectric's intimidate, double electric weakness is good when paired with Manectric's Volt Absorb, he's also my best check to Mega-Medicham and my flying type against Earthquakes, also good against Heatran if Garchomp is down for some reason, his role in the team is mainly defensive but his offensive presence is also very strong, after 1-2 Dragon Dance his damage output is really high, Bounce can paralyze and hax pretty nicely when combined with Waterfall, 20 Speed EVs to outspeed Mega-Manectric and Mega-Lopunny at +2

Why is everyone giving up on hazard control??? Like when I first saw this I thought that Starmie would be a given on every team. Spikes Klefki was obvious to all, but no one cared enough to try to remove hazards, like what - Okay. Now I have Torn-T + Manectric, standard volt-turn core, standard stuff. Breloom is here to break fatter builds that rely on Quagsire as their unaware resist. Basically just pretty standard stuff all around, like I don't even know what there is to say about it. Just an offensive volt-turn team kthxbai,,

That Sharp Beak and Mystic Water stuff is me hating Life Orb's retarded recoil - it loses games, seriously.

description

built this about a year back for powc finals but i find it still as effective as ever. slight water weakness but can be played around by finishing the opp off within 20 turns like how a standard HO is supposed to be played. team kinda auto loses to msab comps but those are v rare in the current meta so w/e. originally built this around fairy lock klefki to serve as a psuedo trap to pave a game for a lategame clean by weav/landt/mzam. standard sr chomp+spikes klefki, i prefer tank on chomper on this team over sd sr lo/sash cuz i feel that i need the early game momentum to tank hits from stuff like msciz/bisharp/lop/landt etc while doing some solid chip with rough skin+rh and/or dtail+hazards support. i love using keld and its an amazing mon that fits on most bo/ho comps which i tend to favor when building. feel that keld becomes infinitely more threatening with hazard support to pressure stuff like mvenu to recover its health and give me a free switch, and also lure common hazard control mons (think latis/starmie) to come in vs keld for a free spin and gives me an opportunity to double into weav and pursuit trap them. speaking of weav it also makes v good use of hazards to put pressure on hazard control mons as well as pressuring its own checks as most of its checks are grounded (think msciz/klefki/keld) scarf landt is there cuz my original gameplan is for klefki to fairy lock and trap opposing bulky grounds such as chomper/hippo/landt and pave a way for landt to sweep unhindered with them out of the picture. finally i chose mzam as my mega cuz its just a great mon w/ hazard control as its checks (think msciz/av meta) are all spikes weak and makes it easier for mzam to weaken them later in the game. protect+encore seems like a shitty combination on mzam on paper as i drop sball for mew/latis/starmie/etc or dazzling gleam for msab, but protect+encore does have their uses. protect allows me to turn the tables v rain/sand offense and also scout for opp scarfers, while encore is there to be an enormous nuisance and force switches, which becomes significantly more dangerous when u have multiple layers of hazards up and even making switches start to chip and punish heavily. overall i dont feel like i need sball as i think the team covers what sball would have (for example psychics getting trapped by weav, av meta losing to basically the rest of the team) and its not that dazzling gleam drastically improves my matchup v msab anyway, altho msab is really really rare rn bar the omni-present obnoxious shed stall or abr stall. overall it was a really fun team that got me ez wins and bodied ppl. nicknames were from my prev powc team! :]

Explanation

Without much to say about the initial core, hazard spam. Klefki Flash Cannon for Mega Diancie.
Mega Metagross; Pursuit lati twins, Thunder Punch hits Starmie strongly, and hits a decent damage in Skarmory and can defeat it if the opponent does not let her always healthy. In short, cool against hazard removes.
Starmie to Rapid Spin and Keldeo switch.
The team needed speed control, immunity Earthquake and chek Charizard X, then Landorus-T was added.
Finally, the team needed a victory condition, and something to not auto-lose against Mega Sableye, Clefable CM, with Encore to limit walls in the same move.

Description

I feel like I've only built defensive teams for the teambuilding comp so far but oh well.. After I saw Chomp + Spikes I immediately went with the standard dual hazards + Tyranitar + Clef +2, and this is what I came up with.

Let me just preface all of this by saying I much prefer Chomp + Skarm compared to Chomp + Klefki, and not having the Ground immunity + sand check + phazing potential + reliable recovery does get annoying sometimes, but eh I guess Klefki has some merit too.

Obviously this team is really basic. You just try get up as many hazards as possible, and then use Tyranitar to trap the opponents Latios/Starmie. After that, hazard pressure + Clef should just slowly win the game.

All the sets are pretty standard; Tank Chomp, Spikes Klefki, Scarf Tar, CM + Twave Clef, Mega Bro, and AV Torn, but I still think its worth going over the building process real quick because there are a few things I want to touch on.

So as I already mentioned, I started with the dual hazards core. I just went with standard Tank Chomp, with Fire Blast because M-Sciz can be a bit annoying to this team.
Then with Klefki I went pretty basic again, Spikes and Thunder Wave are a given. I went with Toxic to hit Mega Lati, Hippo, as well as just most other fat mons like Mega Slowbro because it seemed like it was nice to have an additional way to pressure them. I actually changed Klefki to Play Rough later on in building because I wanted a move that could break Serperior's Sub 100% of the time. I didn't feel like getting 6-0d by Sub Serperior.
Clef is standard, Tyranitar too. I went scarf to better trap offensive Starmie, and also give me another check to Bisharp.
I went with Mega Bro because once I was finished I basically only had one wincon in Clefable, I wanted a second one, but also something that could pressure a lot of the stuff Clef didn't like, such as Heatran, Gliscor etc, and I thought Slowbro might be a nice way to do that. It also checks Sand, Zard X, and some other annoying stuff.
Lastly I went Torn because I needed a check to Grasses like Mega Venu, Serperior, Breloom etc. I have enough HP to avoid the OHKO from +2 Mega Scizor's BP after Stealth Rock because I'm a little bit weak to it. It's also just nice in general to have the extra HP seeming that Tornadus is my dedicated switchin to a lot of special stuff like Serp, Gengar etc.

Ehy :3
I really like this core and i've decided to build a HO with Alakazam + Klefky + Garchomp. Alakazam is a fantastic sweeper but hate priority and physical move: pokemon like Talonflame, Mega Scizor and Pinsir are a big problem Garchomp can punish this physical pokemon and gives a hazard support that helps the Alakazam sweep. My second choice is Band Azumarill: with Stealth Rock + TW support + Spikes azumarill work really well: help to break balanced, Stall pressure weather build and gives a important priority move (that helps against other offensive team). Fast Electric Type are annoying for this build, and Stall Team in general can stop the team: for this reason i've added Kyurem, it gives an offensive check for fast electric and lure things like Ferrothorn/Scizor that helps the Azumarill and Alakazam sweep. Roost can be an opinion for more longevity. The last choice is Tyranitar: Tyranitar gives me a good offensive check for Bird Spam and a Kyurem switch in because are annoying for the team.

Description

This is a pretty cool team that I made to take on stall players, and it actually has been pretty cool to use. Basically Fire Blast Clef+sub hera+tg rd manaphy makes it so that you're set vs every stall team in existence, which is really nice. Clefable is a fat piece of shit that can beat so many teams that's it's fucking insane. Mana offers a really good wincon vs a multitude of teams and can put in some work vs offense at all. MHera can get a sub up vs stall obviously, but also a lot of offensive teams since most bulky ground have an insanely difficult time doing any major damage to it. Lum SD chomp can be changed to tankchomp if you want, but that's really up to you and it's just a cool set to set up rocks vs msab. Dazzling gleam keys can put some pressure on msab and make sure that weakened msab from facing lum sd chomp can't switch in unless it wants to get rekt by dazzling gleam. Lastly, latios offers a solid attacker, being able to spam draco and having hp fire to lure in shit for teammates which is pretty cool. Overall this is a pretty fun team to use since stall players are gonna click x the second that they see this and it's a lot more fun to play 5 minute HO games than stall and balance ones.

Description

1) Klefki's set is standard, spikes because this thing KILLS grounded opponents, Magnet Rise is cool, Play Rough is good stab move although a bit weak due to Klefki's bad offensive stats and no offensive EV investment but it kills most subs in one hit, TW cripple annoying setup sweepers.

2) I think that Scarf Garchomp is a very strong pokemon due to his high speed stat and a good amount of attack, he outspeeds MCharizardX at +1, he outspeeds Latias/os, he outspeeds Kyu-B even if he is scarfed, and with his good coverage he hits pretty much everything very hard, Earthquake/Outrage are his 2 stabs, don't forget to be careful with Outrage when there is fairies or very resilient Steel-type setup pokemons who may take advantage of this, use Earthquake if possible. Poison Jab punishes fairies who try to switch in, Stone Edge destroys flying types avoiding Earthquake.

3) I chose Mega-Manectric because he's a very powerful electric-type pokemon who can break through big threats to Garchomp like Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Scizor ... And both of his abilities synergize very well with Gyarados, I chose Flamethrower instead of Overheat because it breaks through most of the pokemons you want to counter with Overheat, especially because most of them are grounded and take Klefki's spikes damage, and avoid the annoying -2 SpA after the attack, especially great if the opponent can switch something which can take advantage of this and resists fire-type attacks

4) Weavile to form the great offensive core MManectric/Weavile, he's good against the annoying tanks like Chansey/Cresselia and Porygon2 with Knock Off, Pursuit is good to trap a lot of Defog/RSpin users, he's also very strong against dragon-types, especially Dragonite and Altaria-Mega who are pretty strong against this team

5) Ferrothorn is my rock setter, counter to Hippowdon, to RotomW, very good against non-Fire coverage Tyranitar, and a very good counter to Mega-Gardevoir and most fairies in fact, set is standard : Gyro Ball against fast/fairies, Power Whip against things that it hits super effectively or are very resistant to gyro ball, Leech Seed is cool for recovery

6) Gyarados' Intimidate is good when paired with Manectric's intimidate, double electric weakness is good when paired with Manectric's Volt Absorb, he's also my best check to Mega-Medicham and my flying type against Earthquakes, also good against Heatran if Garchomp is down for some reason, his role in the team is mainly defensive but his offensive presence is also very strong, after 1-2 Dragon Dance his damage output is really high, Bounce can paralyze and hax pretty nicely when combined with Waterfall, 20 Speed EVs to outspeed Mega-Manectric and Mega-Lopunny at +2

Why is everyone giving up on hazard control??? Like when I first saw this I thought that Starmie would be a given on every team. Spikes Klefki was obvious to all, but no one cared enough to try to remove hazards, like what - Okay. Now I have Torn-T + Manectric, standard volt-turn core, standard stuff. Breloom is here to break fatter builds that rely on Quagsire as their unaware resist. Basically just pretty standard stuff all around, like I don't even know what there is to say about it. Just an offensive volt-turn team kthxbai,,

Built this about a year back for powc finals but i find it still as effective as ever. slight water weakness but can be played around by finishing the opp off within 20 turns like how a standard HO is supposed to be played. team kinda auto loses to msab comps but those are v rare in the current meta so w/e. originally built this around fairy lock klefki to serve as a psuedo trap to pave a game for a lategame clean by weav/landt/mzam. standard sr chomp+spikes klefki, i prefer tank on chomper on this team over sd sr lo/sash cuz i feel that i need the early game momentum to tank hits from stuff like msciz/bisharp/lop/landt etc while doing some solid chip with rough skin+rh and/or dtail+hazards support. i love using keld and its an amazing mon that fits on most bo/ho comps which i tend to favor when building. feel that keld becomes infinitely more threatening with hazard support to pressure stuff like mvenu to recover its health and give me a free switch, and also lure common hazard control mons (think latis/starmie) to come in vs keld for a free spin and gives me an opportunity to double into weav and pursuit trap them. speaking of weav it also makes v good use of hazards to put pressure on hazard control mons as well as pressuring its own checks as most of its checks are grounded (think msciz/klefki/keld) scarf landt is there cuz my original gameplan is for klefki to fairy lock and trap opposing bulky grounds such as chomper/hippo/landt and pave a way for landt to sweep unhindered with them out of the picture. finally i chose mzam as my mega cuz its just a great mon w/ hazard control as its checks (think msciz/av meta) are all spikes weak and makes it easier for mzam to weaken them later in the game. protect+encore seems like a shitty combination on mzam on paper as i drop sball for mew/latis/starmie/etc or dazzling gleam for msab, but protect+encore does have their uses. protect allows me to turn the tables v rain/sand offense and also scout for opp scarfers, while encore is there to be an enormous nuisance and force switches, which becomes significantly more dangerous when u have multiple layers of hazards up and even making switches start to chip and punish heavily. overall i dont feel like i need sball as i think the team covers what sball would have (for example psychics getting trapped by weav, av meta losing to basically the rest of the team) and its not that dazzling gleam drastically improves my matchup v msab anyway, altho msab is really really rare rn bar the omni-present obnoxious shed stall or abr stall. overall it was a really fun team that got me ez wins and bodied ppl. nicknames were from my prev powc team! :]

Description

Without much to say about the initial core, hazard spam. Klefki Flash Cannon for Mega Diancie.
Mega Metagross; Pursuit lati twins, Thunder Punch hits Starmie strongly, and hits a decent damage in Skarmory and can defeat it if the opponent does not let her always healthy. In short, cool against hazard removes.
Starmie to Rapid Spin and Keldeo switch.
The team needed speed control, immunity Earthquake and chek Charizard X, then Landorus-T was added.
Finally, the team needed a victory condition, and something to not auto-lose against Mega Sableye, Clefable CM, with Encore to limit walls in the same move.

You are all amazing. Voting ends on Sunday at 10:00 PM, GMT -5. May the best one win, etc, etc.

Team 7

It's the only one that isn't a meme, bad, or isn't based off a bunch of theorymon where I could vote for it on the merit of a teambuilding competition. As mentioned in the desc. the teams water weakness is annoying, actually a bit bothersome for me to accept, but I think the goal and some of the techs make up for it because it has a realistic end-game in mind without looking silly.

I didn't vote for some of the other ones cause some of them were either super silly or just lacking in efficiency to myself. So yeah Team 7 has my vote regardless of whatever flaws it has.

Well, it is pretty clear to me that Team 7 by DracoNinja has won this round by a landslide. Congrats. Will be added to the hall of fame :)

Moving on!

ROUND 36:

+

​

Yeah! Keldeo beats like every relevant dark type reuniclus may have troubles with while reuniclus take keldeo checks like mega venusaur and amoonguss for a ride. Straightforward stuff, and they look so cool on team preview. So yeah, this is the core for this round.

Round ends on next Friday at 10:00 pm, GMT -5. Good luck!

This squad is easily one of my most consistent and favorite ORAS teams, and its pretty much the only one I spammed in whichever oras smogtours I was able to participate in (also Shoka won one of his later OST games with this team without any prior experience). One characteristic of this team that makes me enjoy it so much is how versatile it can be, getting neutral to good matchups vs most squads. Reuni was obviously the focal point of my build, and I paired it with Manectric for some reason that I have now forgotten (I do remember, however, that I really wanted to avoid using MLati (I felt people were slapping it on teams without much thought)) - regardless, the duo works extremely well to to beat down on a large variety of playstyles. Reuni could use Shadow Ball to help out vs psychics like meta/mie and also hit sableye, but i've liked focus blast for its ability to hit steels a bit harder so I use that instead. Resttalk keld provides a reliable bisharp / other dark and scizor check that can last throughout the game while also placing offensive pressure, which is really good. Chople Tar is simply an amazing mon that gives me a way out vs so many major threats in this metagame like MZam, Torn, or Zard-X, and pursuit trapping for manectric and keldeo is simply perfect. TWave may be mexican, but it can be crucial in aiding a reuniclus sweep if timed right, and also provides the team some protection against BD Azumarill. SDef skarm fits pretty perfectly here, giving me an element of hazard stack while also handling a multitude of threats thanks to the special bulk and natural physical defense. Because of the support from resttalk keld (which helps against weavile alongside skarm, for example) and reuni (which can semi-handle mmeta for this team alongside skarm, for example), the reduced physical defense doesn't bother me at all. Amoonguss completes the team by providing a solid answer to offensive waters and just a plethora of stuff in general, while clear smog is extremely useful especially alongside twave support, and regen gives me a lot of freedom when playing with guss.

The only concern that has really been brought up with this team to me is the lack of hazard removal and mega sableye, but the combination of reuni + guss + my own hazards helps immensely in the hazard game when sableye is not involved (I have, for example, beaten stall by utilizing mostly just my own hazards and endless switching between reuni and amoonguss). A lot of starmie balance teams are heavily pressured by reuniclus, so the matchup issue here is rarely impossible. Sableye is also difficult but its not unreasonable to manage depending on the team support it has. Regardless, using Shadow Ball > Focus Blast on reuni solves a lot of the problems here. Otherwise, the team is very good and consistent (at least, for me), so I'm very happy with what I have.
(e: Volcanion murks this team unless you outplay it (they're gonna spam steam eruption, and if they don't, at least you can pursuit it. hazards also wear it down fast). F### Volcanion.)

The idea of the core was pretty simple, so I started out with CM Reuniclus and RestTalk Keldeo, who is the premier dark check on the team. I went with a bulkier spread to handle Darks and other threats well. I'm using Shadow Ball over Focus Blast on Reuni so I'm not walled by Sab, and is the team's main wincon. Next, I went with Pursuit M-Meta to help get rid of annoying threats such as Latis and Starmie which would prove to be annoying for the rest of the team. AV Tangrowth is my main ground check to deal with Exca mainly, while also being able to deal with annoying special attackers that give the rest of the team trouble. And of course Latios, as the original build I made had no Volcanion swtichins whatsoever, as Keldeo certainly wasn't a switchin (Volcanion is so irritating), so I went with Latios to help with that; I'm running Draco+T-Bolt in order to smack annoying waters like Slowbro and Volcanion better. And finally Heatran, who is my main rocker. Overall a fun team that I greatly enjoyed building and I will definitely keep playing around with it to make it as best as it can possibly be.

Description

Lol yes I just ripped it from what I built in teamshop. Picks an amazing core for builders to work with and there is only two teams smh wtf is wrong with people.

Not a whole lot to say other than every M-Garde sand team is either gonna be a crappy version of Enders XY M-Gard Sand team, something that gets demolished by every fighting type ie those kyurem-b sand teams, or just some random sand balance which is what this is more or less (probably still the first point lol). There's a lot of directions you can take a team such as this but I felt like using Reuniclus + water here and Keldeo fit for not being too Bish / Weavile weak. Talonflame helped with some speed control and threats like Serperior, Volcarona, and grasses and while I kind of dont like the SD SpDef set that much I think the immediate pressure as opposed to Bulk Ups slower long term pressure seemed more useful here. RestTalk Keld gives it some longevity. Keldeo can be annoying so just don't play like booty around it and if Slowbros annoy you Shadow Ball Reuniclus is an option over Focus Blast. That's really it enjoy.

Crystal Ram we all dream of a world where Heatran is blue don't worry you're not alone.
