Yooo this is sick as hell, thanks for posting! I've always admired your builds and your ability to create solid teams around almost any mon, that's awesome. Do you have any advice for someone who's trying to be good at teambuilding? All of my teams end up OK at best, and some advice would be really awesome :~)

I honestly think that experience would be your best teacher. Once you have a better grasp of the meta, and have a feel for what is used a lot and is standard, then you can be a bit more creative in how you build. Also, ev spreads are not something that should be considered "creative" since choosing the optimal one for that particular mon and for that team is moreso a logistic aspect of teambuilding. If you want to differentiate yourself, just snoop around the lower tiers to see if there's anything that might catch your eye. The viability ranks are also helpful to see what is good or not. Just have fun with it though, since that's what drives most of us to build like this.
Still undecided :x
np, its fun playing against you too since the games end up pretty close and down to the wire. And I'm not that scary :< i try to be as approachable as can be, you wound me yet again you bully :[
Hello fellow toothpaste squeezer! I especially like team #9 as well, as it has influenced a lot of the builds i've seen in wcop, such as blue star vs. sinclair in finals. Wait, does this also mean that you think togekiss is not shit now? :(
Well, building with this kind of stuff compels me to do it in the first place, facing the same standard teams and cores that is typical of ou kind of gets stale after a while so I try to get out of that mindset. As long as you have a motivation to get better than you'll get there soon enough. With oras coming, most people are just trying out new things, so if you're ever stuck, you can also try revamping old teams so that it would fit in that meta.
Thanks buddy! And i don't really know how to respond to this since I addressed this in numerous posts aleady. If you have something more specific you want to ask, feel free.
lol I'm glad that I didn't, medicham would of wrecked me if I chose this (though alo woulda just dodged the hjk if need be hehe bwoi). And yeah, I factored everything relevant into account playing against you, but got popped by subsdsalac landt so it should of been your win in all honesty. I would have rather gone out with a bang using that team than hax my way to victory using disgusting stall if that means anything (team wouldn't let me), so sorry that it had to come to that.
it has a mouth
sick squadrons m8 this thread got me itchin to reopen dash lord workshop for oras now,,,

Tons of cool teams ^^ just a nitpick, you're description on team 11 says latios, when you have latias
idk ask bloo o.o
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN :[[
ah my evil twin brother. normally i would give someone as chill as you a shoutout, but there's only room for one ben around here >:[
lol i don't even know how you are able to put up with all the sht ppl throw at you on a daily basis. and thanks! lookin forward to how the one true based god builds, ya feel me?
o thanks for pointing that out, and appreciate it :]
Thanks a bunch for the post Ben! I've learned quite a bit from all of the good replays you provided. If anyone who is reading this and wants to learn the stall game, I recommend watching them!
Thanks but no thanks. I'm not a charity that lends out free teams just for the heck of it, since the teams I build are usually for tours. Going to have to direct you to ctc on that one haha. If you are still struggling with building solid teams for oras, try revamping xy teams for the current meta. Teams 3, 9, 13, 14, 17, 20, and 24 should be the easiest to upgrade imo.
Already 10 steps ahead of you ;] and yeah, it's harder no doubt but I'm gradually getting better at oras so that's good :0.
omg hi I'm a big fan, though I'd rather play with you than against you lol! Hopefully I gained enough tour experience though, I tend to choke during high pressure situations :x.
The pleasure was all mine :) and thanks! Most people can't use the teams I make since it's so out of their comfort zone, but I like to stay hip and trendy to be up to date with the current meta so that's probably why.
Sorry for the half-assed responses to everyone so far. I would go more in-depth, but I'd rather put this to rest and begin with oras asap. Am still playing catch-up with a lot of the new stuff that has been introduced x_x. Just pm me or something if you think I can help you with anything, I probably won't reply to this thread anymore, my apologies. Who knows, I might make another archive in the future so be sure to look forward to that :{D
As an ametur battler/teambuilder with a love for gimmicks, these teams have inspired me to build better teams. With inspiration from team 30, I built a sticky web team I'll be RMTing soon, and It's my best team yet. Great archive.
