in addition to the above this is legit the most standard core in the universe, see the common double bunny team (mag / pinsir / diggersby / av azumarill / healing wish latias / lead chomp or substitute like mamoswine or terrakion.
CTC, if you've still got it, do you think you could pass me the rapper team? I know the mons, but I don't know all of the sets/recommended evs
Joey Bada$$ - Sash+rocks
ZOMBiES - Life Orb attacker (idr coverage)
Capital STEEZ - Scarf
CaseyVeggies - near max speed offensive
MF DOOM - idr
Bronsolinio - band
(also what mon do you think would be cool to name Issa)

Hey CTC, wondering if you can think of a good way to run Hawlucha + Gengar together in a team.
Hawlucha became incredibly good post-aegi (and is just hella fun to use in general) and similarly Gengar is a massive threat because people are stacking psychics (Slowbro, Jirachi, Mew, etc) on every single team without giving a fuck. Lucha also appreciates those mons being dead (although i guess it can try to sub/sd on Mew). Life Orb Shadow Ball seems extremely spammable in general and i can't see too much enjoying switching in save for Blobs + Ttar/Bish with the latter two fearing Focus Blast.
Was thinking Ttar + Mega Manec might be a good fit with these mons as they check bird spam which eat Gar + Lucha alive (with Superpower possibly on Ttar for Bish).
Thoughts?
Hey CTC, it's awesome how you're turning this into a workshop and helping others with their teams :] I had an idea that I was wondering if you could build around it:
Scizor @ Lum Berry / Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Swords Dance
Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Roost
- Swords Dance
The basic idea is that Scizor would lure things like Heatran, Rotom-W and Ferrothorn in, outspeed and proceed to weaken, if not KO for Talonflame to sweep. I'm not sure which item would benefit Scizor more - the main thing I notice is that Lum Berry grants Scizor the ability to achieve 2 SD's if they switch Rotom-W into Scizor, allowing it to have an 81% chance to OHKO with Superpower. Scizor's EVs are so it outspeeds 44 Spe Rotom-W. As of now, the biggest weakness I see with these two mons is Quagsire.
So that's the basic idea - Lure things in with Scizor so that another mon can sweep. Feel free to change anything you feel needs to be changed, even if you feel that there's a better sweeper out there than Talonflame to benefit from Lure Scizor (I can't believe I just said that).

so... you want a challenge, CTC? I'll give you a challenge.
Meloetta @ Assault Vest/Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 120 Spd, everything else is up to you
Timid Nature
-Psyshock
-Focus Blast/Shadow Ball/Hyper Voice
-Calm Mind/Focus Blast/Shadow Ball/Hyper Voice
-Substitute/Focus Blast/Shadow Ball/Hyper Voice
Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpAtk, 4 SpDef, 252 Spd
Timid Nature
-Draco Meteor
-Defog
-Thunderbolt/Hidden Power Fighting
-Hidden Power Fighting/Healing wish
Meloetta is a more defensive version of M-Gard, sporting more physical bulk and pretty much matching M-Gard in SpDef, though this can be boosted by Assault Vest if you choose it. Latias is there as a lure and as a way to alleviate Meloetta's monstrous case of 4MSS, with HP Fighting OHKOing Bisharp and 2HKOing TTar, which really bother Meloetta. However, if you run Focus Blast and you don't think you need it, you can run the standard Healing Wish instead. Thunderbolt is to beat non-AV Azu, as well as having great coverage overall - I don't need Psyshock imo because Meloetta has it.
As you can see, I gave you a lot of room to work with, and that's because I gave you such a hard mon to build a team around. And I actually do have restrictions, but if they prove absolutely impossible to accomplish, you can break them.
1.) No gengar. Gengar is the only Pokemon I hate enough to refuse even using it.
2.) Display Meloetta's niche - don't use it as a lesser version of a mon just because I asked for it.
3.) If possible, try to make the team able to hold its own in a tour or the ladder.
4.) Did I already say no gengar?
Hopefully, this'll give you a proper challenge.

Timid Nature
- Seed Flare

Hey ctc, decided to make an account to make a request. Lately DragMag has become popular. Could you make a team with these mons?
Houndoom @ Houndoominite
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

- Will-O-Wisp
Ferrothorn @ Shed Shell
Ability: Iron Barbs

Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Gyro Ball
the idea is to switch out on a mag and get the flash fire boost and proceed to sweep

Only the first and last calcs count, as Flash fire only increases the damage of Fire-type moves.
right...i feel like an idiot...
you're missin some evs there bud
yeah didn't realy know if a spdef or def ferro would be better for the team
I would also like to add that since Flash Fire is an ability based boost and not a direct stat boost, Houndoom loses the Flash Fire boost upon Mega Evolution (assuming it had one in its normal form).
Actually, if houndoom gets a flash fire boost then it keeps it, even after mega evolving. I believe this is because the flash fire ability just gives the pokemon the flash fire "status", (what you can see next to stat boosts) and it keeps this flash fire status even when it loses the ability. I could be talking out of my ass about how the ability works, but I know for sure that it keeps the boost after mega evolving.
