Goal of this thread: This thread aims to help introduce ways to defeat some common teams that have reputations for being quite solid in the current metagame. Even the best teams have some flaws, which here are BTT we strive to identify to hopefully help players who struggle with defeating solid teams fine a way to do so.
Commencement: So, essentially how this is going to work is I am going to post a team that I have asked someone for or they volunteered, and in the following week users will post cores of two or three pokemon that are adept at defeating the team. Then, users will vote on what core they think handles the team the best at the end of the week. Whichever core gets the most votes will be put into the hall of fame, and a new team will be posted at the start of the week.
Rules:
Other than that, have fun! Shoot me a PM if you would like your team featured in this thread, and I'll check it out!

- Sets that deviate from Smogon are certainly fine, but please refrain from posting gimmicky or unviable sets
- For this thread, like many others in the RU forum, you simply vote by posting the name of the user who posted your chosen nomination.
- You may not vote for your own nomination.
Current Team
Alright, the results are in! Thanks to everyone who participated!
Based Honker!
Anyway, time to move on to week 7!
This team was created by NaCl as a way to quickly climb the ladder. This team focuses on Choice Specs Meloetta's tendency to pressure bulkier builds while choice scarf flygon acts as a potent cleaner and momentum grabber. Gurdurr can also break down fatter teams or one that heavily rely on physical attackers, while venusaur acts as another hole puncher as well as a no-mess solution to Alomamola. Diancie and Blastoise form a nice defensive backbone as well as both hazard addition and removal. I ran Alomomola while laddering over Blastoise, but I decided to stick to the origional team for this.
