Welcome to the Other Metas RMT Archive! There have been many OM RMTs in the past, but I feel like many of them have not gotten the attention they deserved. This is mainly because many OM players do not frequent the RMT forum, and the RMT team raters do not rate non-standard teams. This thread serves to bridge the gap between the OM forum and the RMT forum and gives people the opportunity to show off their teams.Anybody can submit a team into this archive, as long as the OM is one of the permanent ladders or a past/present OMOTM. The team by no means has to be perfect, as one of the goals of a RMT is to improve your team. Also, make sure your RMT follows the guidelines of the RMT forum. To submit an RMT, please write a description in the following format:
Name of the RMT:
Link to the thread:
OM:
Short description (1-3 sentences. This is just a brief overview, as the main description of the team is in the thread):
Example:
Name: Kagome Kagome
Link: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/kagome-kagome-a-balanced-hackmons-rmt.3513773/
OM: Balanced Hackmons
Description: An early XY Balanced Hackmons team that utilizes Illusion to break through the opponent's walls and sweep with Kyurem-B.
Pretty much any OM RMT that follows these guidelines will be admitted into the archive, unless it violates the rules of the RMT forum (in which case it will probably be closed anyways) or is a troll team. Also, feel free to submit any past RMTs as well as new ones, as I'd like to try to get an archive of all OM RMT threads.
I encourage people not to just post more RMTs, but also help rate the teams that other people have posted. I think this would be a great opportunity people to learn from more experienced peers and foster growth in the OM community.

Description: An X/Y era RMT demonstrating one of several ways that the lack of an ability clause can be seriously abused to stack threats to the point that they can't be reliably checked or countered.
