Hello, welcome to the 5th Generation RMT Archive nomination thread! The Black and White metagame has been developing for quite a while now, so we decided it was time to set up a dedicated archive to host the new teams.

Here, you're free to nominate OU RMTs you feel deserves a spot in the RMT Archive. Keep the following in mind, though: We're looking for teams that bring something new to the table. Teams that perfect a certain strategy or combination. Teams that popularize a new set or obscure way of playing a certain Pokémon. Those are the kind of teams that we want to see here. DO NOT automatically nominate a team just because it has pretty pictures, lengthy descriptions, or a colorful threat list. Remember, we are trying to tell a story of the development of the metagame of a generation through RMTs, so make sure to nominate teams that meet the aforementioned criteria!

With that said, I'd like to lay down a few ground rules:

• DO NOT BANDWAGON
  • Only let one person nominate a team.
  • There's no need to post here saying "I agree with this nomination". If I see any of this, your post will be deleted and possibly infracted.

• JUSTIFY YOUR NOMINATION
  • This is self-explanatory. Explain why you nominated a team in a few brief sentences.

• DO NOT NOMINATE YOUR OWN TEAMS
  • Please refrain from posting your own teams, if it deserves a spot it'll be nominated.

• DO NOT NOMINATE REJECTED TEAMS
  • Rejected teams can only be renominated once, and only when provided with a solid reason. Nominating rejected teams multiple times will be infracted.

We, the RMT Staff, decided to update the archive as it hadn't been updated in a while and, with the new bans, some teams needed to be added. Here are the teams we decided to add:


Thanks to everyone who nominated teams. Feel free to nominate again.

(Baton) Passport to Victory (Peaked #2)
 

Title of The Team: (Baton) Passport to Victory (Peaked #2)

Justification: Kidogo's team represent's a balanced rain archetype. Kidogo's team at first shows a standard rain offensive core of Scarf Keldeo and Agility Thundurus, backed by a well made defensive core of Celebi and Jirachi. Kidogo has incorporated an innovative Nasty Plot Pass Celebi in his team which solves many problems for his team. At first glance it would seem that standard threats to rain teams would be able to get through this team, but that is not the case as Kidogo uses an easy sweep condition in passing boosts to the two most powerful special attackers in the games, sealing a win condition. Because of the presence of BP Celebi on the team, Kidogo's team has become wildly successful and replicated on both PO and PS ladders.

For the reasons above, I strongly believe that Kidogo's (Baton) Passport to Victory (Peaked #2) should have a place in the RMT Archive

Title of team: <jumpluff> do they have golden gaytimes in nz?

Justification: This team features Nasty Plot Baton Pass Celebi in which is utilized to the fullest extent with the passing to two different sweepers: Keldeo and Landorus. Not only this but the team is a bulky offensive team that is relatively unique in the current Metagame. The use of sets that aren't as common such as Stealth Rock Jirachi is also a great addition to the overall surprise factor of the team. What the team lacks in a spinner, it makes up for it with sheer offensive sets. For being a balanced and effective team in this meta, I nominate Ginganinja's team.

Nominating Team Cassie Ainsworth by George Eliot

Justification: When talking about the anti-metagame, this is the first team to jump in mind. Using Abomasnow to combat rain teams from SPAMming their ridiculously powerful Water-STAB and Thunders versus rain,revenge killing Chlorophyll sweepers such as Venasaur and Lilligant versus sun, and finally versus sand, Abomasnow can easily gain superiority over the team. This team surely turns weather teams into a liablity. George Eliot also uses interesting sets such as Reflect Type Starmie and Defensive Keldeo to avoid common threats that threaten these two. For example Pursuit users, which roam the metagame, namely Tyranitar and Scizor, cannont due much to Starmie as it uses Reflect Type to take resistant damage from Pursuit, forcing them to either switch or be burned eventually by Scald. The team finally introduces Zoroark who easily takes advantage of the team's surprise factor and weaknesses to take sweep late game. It has been ages since Delko's Christmas, and I think it finally deserves a spot on the archive.

Collide by Lohgock

While the team prepares a successful sweep of Latias, what is seen often these days, they way of preparing this sweep is unique: By using the rarely seen combination of Rocky Helmet Skarmory and the new Rocky Helmet Garchomp, Lohgock achieves an excellent way of getting rid of Latias's counters. On top of that he is using Virizion with great success, a pokemon that lost a lot of usage in the past few months.
A combination of rarely seen sets and metagame's top threads forms an extremely solid core for a balanced team in the actual metagame. The team represents a part of the metagame of these days, by using toptier pokemon and, at the same time, uses surprising sets and pokemon. In times of the standard CB Tyranitar + Keldeo + Landorus-I cores, he managed to build not only an original team that separates from the standard ones, but is also able to counter said standard teams by having at least two counters or checks against their threats.
Because of that, I think Lohgock's team Collide should be added to the RMT-archive.
