Hello and welcome to the Neverused Teambuilding Compilation, the successor of the Teambuilding Competition found here. The goal of this project is to observe and better understand how experienced NU players go about building their teams around certain Pokemon. 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 either a single Pokemon or a core of two. 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! However, unlike its predecessor, this project does not include a voting round. Instead, any team that is deemed of good enough quality by the NU moderators and I will be included in the Hall of Fame down below (and possibly even permitted into the Sample Teams thread!)

Some ground rules:
- Make the post presentable, use XY sprites and have the team in importable format so it can be used and tested by voters.
- Make sure you have a paragraph describing how your team functions and how it supports the Pokemon.
- 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.
- Since ORAS is still fairly new, there are no limitations in what Pokemon you can use for now, but I will notify and edit this once that changes.
- I will post when you have a day left to get your teams posted. Don't procrastinate. It will only go badly.
- You are allowed to edit your teams with testing and / or feedback from other people, however be sure to make note of these edits in the original post (i.e. keep an edit log or something in your post). Once the round ends however, you cannot edit your teams anymore.
- As stated above, this version of the project does not have a voting round. All teams that are of sufficient quality (chosen by myself and the moderation team) will be included in the Hall of Fame.
