OU Teambuilding Competition V5​

Hi. CZ. went MIA, so I was given approval to get this project running again. By now you should know what this project is, but if you don't for whatever reason, I'll briefly explain it. Every week I will post a Pokemon or core of Pokemon. It is your job to build a successful team around these Pokemon. Once you have done so, PM your team to me with the format shown below. You have five days to do so. Once these five days are up, submissions will be closed and I will start the voting period. The voting period, which will last for two days, will be when everyone casts one vote for their favorite team. At the end of this period, the winner will be announced and the process will repeat itself. Below are the rules, and everything else you may need to know.

Rules

1. To submit a team, it must be PMed to me, and it must follow the format shown below. You may make changes to it as much as you like, but once the deadline hits everything will be locked in and I will post what I see at that moment.
   
2. Disputes / Copying: Obviously, there is potential for disputes over copying or people making similar entries. In general, if your team entry has the same Pokémon and similar move sets to an earlier entry, it will be disqualified. If anyone tries to abuse this by reserving an early post in the thread for their entry, please bring it to my attention and they'll be disqualified.
3. Discussion and Team Changes: One part of the process is to have discussion about the teams and the core. While I'd like to keep this from being a speedy RMT thread, suggestions of improvements to entered teams are allowed. In the interests of fairness though, I'd ask that any suggestions don't involve anything more major than move set changes, and that if you've already submitted a team you won't change the Pokémon in it. Basically, just be sure that you're happy with the team before you send it in.
4. No Bandwagonning : Simple rule: try to not support someone simply because you recognized his nick or because he/she has a shiny trophy. Vote for who you want to win, not who your friend wants you to vote for. Obviously it'll be hard to enforce this, but please use some common sense.

Below is an example of the format you will be PMing to me. Remember to follow this format exactly. Failure to do so may result in me rejecting your team. If you can't spend five minutes formatting your team, I won't spend five minutes posting your team when voting time comes. Remember, do not post your team in the thread. PM it to me.

Explanation

This is a team I made originally for the Mawilite Suspect Ladder, revolving around Mienshao to scout items and beat common leads at the time (such as SashMamo, Breloom, SashChomp, or SR setters like Landorus-T and Ferro etc.), and Charizard-X which is probably the most broken Mega left in XY OU. HP Ice Mienshao and EQ Latios pushed significant damage on DD Zard-X's premier counters, Landorus-T and Heatran, opening the way for Zard-X to potentially sweep lategame. Additionally, the core of Mienshao / SpexKou / ScarfLando-T offered a fast VoltTurn chain that could easily break down the opponents checks with very little prediction and Stealth Rock support from one of the sturdiest SR setters in the game, Ferrothorn. The concept began as a fun team but the team did see some success as Ben Gay used it to peak #1 on the Mawilite Suspect Ladder, and was one of the teams he used to peak #1 more recently on the actual OU ladder, during the first cycle of the Smogon Ladder Tournament. Overall, a neat little offensive team focused on luring threats and keeping momentum to wear down the opponent, opening them up for almost any of the Pokemon to clean up lategame.

Current Core:

Round 2: Mega Gyarados + Dragalge

This week we have another offensive core, this time with Mega Gyarados and Dragalge. Both have good offensive and defensive synergy together, with Dragalge breaking down walls for Mega Gyarados to pull off a sweep late game. Remember the sets are up to you, but Gyarados must hold its Mega Stone.
​

Round 2 Ends Friday, January 23 at 11:59 PM EST.

Remember to PM your teams to me. Good Luck!

Past Cores

Round 1: Mega Metagross + Keldeo

Starting off the new thread, we have a powerful offensive core in the likes of Mega Metagross and Keldeo. Often seen on hyper offense or bulky offense teams, these two mons make for a potent duo. The sets are up to you, however Metagross is required to hold its Mega Stone. Since this project is just starting up again, the deadline for this round will last longer than usual to give more people the chance to participate.

Explanation:

Team I threw together that seems fairly effective. Keldeo can run a Sub+CM fairly effectively since Metagross handles most mons it would need a coverage move for. Entei hits Ferro and even water types fear switching into Sacred Fire thanks to that burn chance. Extremespeed is handy for cleaning uplate game Ttar sets up Rocks, Pursuit traps and functions as a necessary Tflame counter. Chesnaught walls most physical attackers, notably Bisharp and sets Spikes. Exca utilizes the sand provided by TTar and sweeps or spins away hazards.

I started with the core Metagross-Mega + Keldeo. After that, i completed my FWG Core with Talonflame, which helps against Conkeldurr, and Ferrothorn which checks Greninja. Then i added a Lati Twin + Landorus-T to have hazard control. Because i have my 6 mons, i choosed their set. Hammer Arm is here because Ferrothorn can be troublesome. I figured Slowbro (-Mega) with Fire Blast is annoying, so i choosed the set with Grass Knot. Keldeo is my win condition with the set SubCM. It helps me against Sableye-Mega and the old Mew Stallbreaker. I wanted to use a Landorus-T Scarf, because i think it is the best Scarfer of the OU Metagame atm. But opponent's Talonflame easily wear down it, so a defensive set of Landorus-T is better for my team imo. I needed a Revenge Killer so Talonflame is Bander. Then i choosed Latias > Latios because the Healing Wish support is useful for my team. I saw a huge weakness to Magnezone, so Shed Shell Ferrothorn is fine.

Explanation

The core of Keldeo + M-Meta plows through many teams, though there are a few mons that trouble it. So I figured why not build a team around answering those few mons, which would allow KeldeGross to go haywire. The trouble mons that came to mind were Mega Sableye, Mega Slowbro, and Talonflame.

So Lando-T was added to the team for Talonflame and to get up rocks; Latios for Slowbro and checking stuff like Zard Y and Keldeo; Chesnaught for Mega Sableye; and finally, Heatran was added to give the team a fire-immunity and a secondary Talonflame check.

I decided to use some unconventional sets for the team: CM Roost Latios and SubBD Chesnaught. Latios acts as a stallbreaker as well as hole puncher vs balance teams. Moreover, he is my go-to answer for Mega Slowbro thanks to resisting its dual stab and being able to nuke it with CM boosted Draco's. Chesnaught, on the other hand, is the team's answer to Mega Sableye thanks to the special set: Sub Belly Drum. Resisting Dark Pulse and being immune to Shadow Ball, It can easily nab a +6 on M-Sable, and Will-O-Wisp is dodged by virtue of Substitute.

Now for the main core, I went for SubCM Keldeo + Hammer Arm BP M-Meta. Ice Punch isn't on gross because I have my own Lando-T for opposing Lando's, and Dragon types are handled by Meteor Mash anyways. Bullet Punch is amazing, able to catch Weavile, Mega Diancie (especially if RP), Mega Altaria, and to finish off weakened mons, while Hammer Arm takes care of steel types. SubCM Keldeo provides the team with a second Mega Sableye answer and acts as a win-con vs many archetypes.

Explanation

I didn't really want to post one of my more typical teams for this. so I went ahead and decided to post this pretty interesting team I made around Serperior when it was released. Contrary is a really interesting ability for Serperior that kinda gives it a new leash on life, as 75 SpA is deceiving when you're talking about such a high BP move as Leaf Storm and it actually hits fairly hard, especially when you can start racking up boosts from Leaf Storm. Fire/Dragon coverage covers most opp Steels and Dragons, especially things like Ferrothorn, Scizor, Skarmory, and Latios/Latias. The last slot is something I've been debating, but I feel that Knock Off is the overall best option for this team, especially because CM Clef benefits from Heatran losing its Leftovers. It also, combined with TWave from Clef, means that Jirachi loses its flinching and passive recovery capabilities against Clefable, thus making it much more difficult for it to deal with Serperior. Another use is getting rid of Chansey's Eviolite, which can be pretty nice for Clefable as it prevents the PP stall.

Serperior also has an excellent Speed tier and synergizes well with this core of Pokemon (Metagross + Keldeo), as it deals with Mega Slowbro pretty effectively. Pursuit Mega Metagross has a lot of usefulness on this team because Latis can be a real pain for Keldeo and even Serperior if it doesn't yet have the SpA boosts or the Latios is Choice Scarf. I went with SubCM Keldeo because it's a really effective set in this metagame that has gained a lot of traction lately and I really didn't want to run a Choice set, which can be played around more easily in some regards and doesn't have the same breaking capabilities of this set. Keldeo is really important for this team also because it's my best answer to Bisharp. The last few Pokemon are mostly just glues/fillers. I wanted a legit Keldeo answer and I also wanted a Scarfer since I kinda had a plan at this stage and knew I wanted defensive Landorus-T/non-Scarf Keldeo. It's mainly used to revenge kill boosting sweepers and aid in checking things like Mega Lopunny as well as Greninja (though this team isn't built for a Greninja-oriented metagame especially). HP Fighting is for Bisharp, which is usually a pain for this set, and Scarftar. Clefable + Landorus-T are defensive glues to cover or help cover threats like Mega Lopunny, Mega Metagross, Latis, Dragonite, Mega Sableye, opp Landorus-T, Mega Charizard X, Talonflame, Thundurus, Mega Diancie, Mega Gallade, Mega Manectric, Rotom-W, etc...basically an important defensive backbone for the team. The Clefable spread I've opted to run includes a tiny bit more Defense than usual, which is designed to improve Clefable's odds against Mega Lopunny. I'm running Thunderbolt on Clefable because my team is pretty soft to Talonflame, even with Landorus-T because that's often needed to cover other Pokemon, especially with combinations like Mega Metagross + Talonflame. I've debated switching Landorus-T to Scarf and Clefable to SR, but this makes me weaker to Mega Sableye, Talonflame, etc and in general isn't heavily desirable.

Team 5:

Explanation

I knew I wanted to use Mega Metagross as a wallbreaker for another sweeper, and choose Keldeo because Megagross handles the Latis well. Raikou is here to check Thundurus and help deal with waters that can trouble Keldeo. Raikou, Scarf Lando-T and to a lesser extent Heatran all can check Talonflame as well, which obviously helps Keldeo from being revenge killed. Latios is there to remove hazards, and Heatran sets them.

explanation

This is pretty much a standard team for a standard core. I built this team right before Christmas because I wanted to try CM Keldeo, and thought Metagross was the most obvious partner to it. We all know why Keldeo and Metagross work so well together. They absolutely destroy Pokemon that give the other trouble. CM Mega Sableye gets set up on by CM Keldeo, Meta switches into Lati and Clefable really easily. The only mon that gives both real trouble is Slowbro. To help with that, I put Grass Knot on Metagross, simply because I don't think it really needed the extra coverage and wasn't really thinking Hone Claws or PuP fit the team very well. Ferrothorn with Power Whip gives the core some trouble unless Keldeo is already set up, and some forms of stall can be problematic, so I put Gengar on next to help handle those things as well as generally wearing down special walls for Keldeo. I wasn't liking how weak I was to stuff like Bisharp + Mega Gallade, as well as Raikou, Thundurus, and other Electric types, so I put Hippo on the team to cover those weaknesses as well as give the team a solid defensive mon to fall back on. I prefer Hippo to Lando-T atm simply because it checks those electrics I mentioned and doesn't give a fuck about Ice Punch Gallade or Lopunny. Next, I wanted something to handle Water Pokemon like Rotom and opposing Keldeo, as well as a way of removing hazards for the team. I thought Lati was a good choice simply because it takes pressure off Hippo to check electric types with partners that I also depend on hippo to check (think Pinsir/Mag teams). Healing Wish can be used over Defog if you don't care about hazards much, I just figured this team would probably switch a lot due to the nature of the goal (luring and weakening each other's counters). Finally, I went with Ferro to patch up the weakness to Gyarados, and thought that Spikes support would be really useful considering how amazing Keldeo and Metagross are with that extra bit of chip damage. I like having Protect but beating Gyarados with sub might be more important, which is why I have Whip slashed. Ferro also further takes pressure off Metagross as a Lati switch in as well as Azumarill. Weaknesses include Landorus-I, which really only has to break through Latias and Gengar which can happen easily if it has Knock Off. HP Fire Latios is really annoying until I can get Gengar in on it, but they will never stay in on it anyway. Finally, Banded Azu if it Superpowers my Ferro leaves me wide open to Mega Gyara, and regular Gyara can sweep me anyway if I don't have Power Whip. Like I said, very standard team but it's a very standard core and I love CM Keldeo + Gengar so it works out n_n

Team 7:

Explanation

This a team that I made for this competition, since the gross/keld core seemed pretty cool. When I first saw the core, I saw a glaring weakness to thundurus and talonflame. To fix this, I decided to add a mixed defense hippo, as it provided nice stealth rock support while walling the 2 mons mentioned. Next, the core looked pretty weak to ninja. I then added a spdef ferrothorn to switch in on predicted ice beams. Also, it provided hazard stacking that could really pressure all types of teams while limiting switchins. After that, these mons get rekt by rotom-w, so I thought a mix def cm clefable would work well to sponge up status and volt switches. Finally, I wanted a mon that could put in work vs stall, and weaken defensive cores to allow megagross and keldeo to put in work. LO + 3 attacks gengar seemed like a great fit.

If your team s not here, you either broke a rule or sent it in late. PM me if you have any questions about that.

 

[SketchUp]

Funny how almost every team uses a bulky ground as one of the teammates. I'm voting for team 6.

 

[Masamune]

Team 1. I feel as if it is the least standard yet nevertheless effective.

 

[AM]

Flash rates incoming.

Team 1: Missing some EVs here and there. Set on Ttar is sort of weird when you're blocked by every Skarmory, Ferrothorn, and so forth in existence.
Team 2: Banded TFlame really needs to be Jolly not to straight up lose to Raikou and Thundurus on any given day of the weak. Sort of TFlame weak but what a lot of these sort of are :s
Team 3: Interesting one but teams sort of annoyed by bulky psychics. I'd personally use Pursuit M-Gross on this build.
Team 4: I don't get the slash on Latios because you have to show what would be more effective. Better to just suggest it in the explanation to make people aware.
Team 5: Teams really Starmie weak, I'd probably bump up Raikous speed to max on this one.
Team 6: Same deal with the slashes. Pick one or the other and explain why it's more effective. Probably go with Power Whip anyways so you're not depending on Keldeo to handle M-Gyarados all the time.
Team 7: Not too bad but HP Bug is piss weak on its intended targets for Keldeo. I'd probably still run Icy Wind so Gengar can take advantage of the speed drops.

Voting for Team 3 cause it has sets that aren't seen from a mile away and as such can give it the upper advantage.

 

[Scotti]

Team 4 : I vote for this team because it is one of the only team to take advantage of the core. He runs pursuit mega metagross to trap mons like latios and latias that are used to commonly counter keldeo. He also runs calm mind keldeo to defeat all the bulky waters that defeat mega metagross. A really cool set he runs is calm mind clefable with thunderbolt to also take on bulky waters that defeat keldeo like cm mega bro. His team overall just does really well against mons that beat keldeo and mega metagross, and they help each other overall.

 

[Stef0w]

mfw all those Latis and Landoges....

Voting Team 7, nice mix between bulk, speed, and power, I could easily see myself using that team.

 

[Clone]

Team 4: I don't get the slash on Latios because you have to show what would be more effective. Better to just suggest it in the explanation to make people aware.

The builder of team four told me to tell you that he often switches between the two, and decided to slash them because of it.

 

[heritage]

Team 1 for me, just for the fact that it uses so many unique Pokemon mixed together in ways the other teams fall short on. The rest of the teams are really generic and boring, and I'm honestly not a fan of them to begin with.

 

[Own3y]

team 7 no doubt, nice job dude

 

[hey yal]

Team 4: i like this team because it has offensive pressure while being able to take hits. the team also helps support the core of mega meta + keld by getting rid of annoying things to them like bro and mega eye with serp and clef while bein able to handle offense p well with scarf lati. also thunderbolt clef is p cool :] just a solid team in general. 10/10 would steal

 

[Halcyon.]

Team 7 has zero Specs Keldeo switch ins and just loses to Landorus depending on the moveset (RP takes out every mon but Clef/Gengar if it lacks Sludge Wave and Knock Off, respectively)

I never really liked Entei, it always seemed like it should be stronger than it actually is. So I'm not a real fan of Team 1.

I'll vote for Team 4 since it's got sexy Serperior+CM Keld.

 

[boltsandbombers]

Team 3 - I feel it has great means of maintaining offensive pressure while being able to threaten many playstyles at one, with switch ins to the majority of common threats.

 

[MrAldo]

Team 3 - Dat chesnaught set. Also it doesnt have slashes (come on guys, settle for an option and explain other possible choices in the explanation) but overall it looks like the best team in my opinion.

 

[Lufia]

voting for team 4 its rly fun to use. Props to the builder :]

 

[PoweredByRevenge]

Voting for team 6 since it seems like the best one overall.

 

[New Light]

Team 1 for me, just for the fact that it uses so many unique Pokemon mixed together in ways the other teams fall short on. The rest of the teams are really generic and boring, and I'm honestly not a fan of them to begin with.

To be fair, Team 3 has what looks to be a somewhat viable Belly Drum Chesnaught set. I'd say that's pretty unique

 

[Tressed]

I'm personally loving Team 1's concept right now, Spikes + SR backed by offensive threats in Megagross, Keldeo, and Entei puts ton of pressure on opponents, and I see it being extremely easy to wear out Excadrill's stops. I don't agree with a few things (Hammer Arm > EQ for Gross, Fire Blast on TTar), but the concept is extremely solid and I'll probably be using something very similar for the next little while. Oh yeah, and TTar is missing quite a few EVs, might want to fix that.
