252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Iron Head vs. 156 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 307-361 (80.7 - 95%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Just calced dis for fun XD

Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
Mega Manectric has already been noted as one of the deadly sins to this team. However, it loses to Tyranitar due to Sand, and Latias doesn't particularly mind HP Ice. The solution? Bisharp. Bisharp can usually take on Tyranitar and deal heavy, heavy damage with Iron Head. Knock Off and Sucker Punch are going to make Latias go home crying. haha YES!
Me and Random passerby both live in the Same timezone ROFL Tho I want say where :) But yeah its saturday.

Core 1 and Core 8
Feel like a decent number of votes have happened so I'll post now.
I think the first thing I should say is nobody posted the best core break this team. It was alluded to in the original post of the team.
Weavile + Magnezone
Weavile actually 5-0s the team without Mega Scizor - Low Kick OHKOs Tyranitar, Knock Off OHKOs Latias, Icicle Crash OHKOs Landorus-T, Ice Shard OHKOs Thundurus after Rocks (and goes before TWave), and Knock Off KOs Volcanion after 2 SR switchins. Scizor of course counters it well but if it can be trapped and removed with Magnezone, Weavile kinda just wins.
This is quite a bit different from Weavile + Mega Manectric. In fact I don't think this team is that weak to Manectric - Latias is a decent check to it (although its Pursuit weak) - but at any point if Tyranitar can come in against Mane on a double switch or Lando sac (preventing Volt out), it's gonna do like 75% to Mane with Pursuit, putting it in range of Scizor's BP after Rocks.
Anyway I think core 8 is the closest to the aforementioned core. Gardevoir is no Weavile for this team but it's still a big issue since it 1v1s every member besides Scizor. It's pretty much a lock to get a couple kills if you get a free switch-in vs Tyranitar, weakened Lando or Latias.
Core 1 cuz Lum Serp is a problem lol, I dont actually think Scarf Terrak is that strong against this team though.

I'll update the hall of fame soon
This week we'll be dealing with a fairly recently made team but one that quickly gained Infamy. The Reincarnation of Goth stall this time staring weavile made by our very own Skarmx2 who's taken much pleasure in reaping the souls of the unprepred.
Sets
Explanation: Here it is the return of Goth stall replacing the now banned Goth with CB Weavile. The Team is a little fairy and manaphy weak but it generally matchs well with most of the meta. Sableye is the standard utility this time carrying toxic instead of fake out to deal with talonflame. Weavile Traps and deals with psychic types like Reuniclus, Jirachi and mew as well as checking Garde and manaphy. Chans/Skarm Deal with he usual broad spectrum attackers present in the meta leaving Quasgire and Amonguss to handle unsual stuff such as Pup Lopunny, Dual dance lando and CM clef.
In the right hands the team can deal with pretty much anyone so Lets see what people come up with this week :D Have fun.

Lol 2 stallbreakers will definitely ravage any stall team but come on.
You just have to weaken one Pokemon, typically Chansey, with Pursuit / Volt Switch / whatever and watch them desperately start sacrificing their entire team to keep it alive. This gives many possible cores, like CB Ttar + Volcanion / Charizard-Y / whatever, but my preference here is offensive SD U-turn Mega Scizor. This makes it much harder for things Weavile to revenge kill it, giving you much more room to repeatedly U-turn / Pursuit Chansey, especially as it doesn't have the greatest move in Pokemon and can't really touch it. So besides Mega Scizor, I need something that the team relies heavily on Chansey to take, as well as not weak to Pursuit so that Weavile cannot just Pursuit trap it. Going to just go with Heatran here, since the team looks fairly weak to it at a glance, but anything can work here.
You can always go the "lol stallbreaker" with like Taunt Mega Garde / Stallbreaker Togekiss / Manaphy / Crawdaunt or whatever you like but honestly if it's weak to Pursuit it's not that bad for the team to handle.

The team is literally just stall but with a random Weavile to pursuit potential stallbreakers so lol. Using Mega Scizor here makes it easier on you, as if you predict wrong while trying to get it in, at least Weavile can't take it out. CB Tyranitar is probably more efficient in doing this but I didn't feel like using that set.

Banned deucer.
* Insert reservation for Volcarona + Specs Keldeo *
Creator of Chaos the team name should be "CB Terrakion switch-in = Skarmory"
This teams Volcarona counter boils down to keeping Chansey at a high amount of HP and hoping that Volcarona has already eaten its Lum Berry so Mega Sableye can Toxic it. Meanwhile, Volc can just set up to +1 on both Skarm (which lacks Whirlwind for heaven knows why) and Amoonguss, & then proceed to raise hell with its Fire STAB and Giga Drain for Quagsire. Meanwhile, Keldeo, which itself does huge damage to this team, is only needed to take out Chansey with a Specs Secret Sword.

This very simple fairy spam core actually does a lot to this team. It makes Weavile useless and the rest of the team can't do much back either. Clefable threathens out weavile and skarmory while gardevoir takes on chansey and amoonguss for clefable. Sableye can't come in on either. So the only little issue that remains is quagsire, which is only 3HKO'd by clefable's moonblast and 2HKO'd by gardevoir's focus blast around 65% of the time.

Your core is ineffective because you didnt name your clefable "CoCs Lovechild" and the gardevoir "CoCs Mistress". Thank me later.+

pretty sure chansey beats mega garde without taunt lol+

Double Mold Breaker core, to notably get around Magic Bounce, Sturdy and Unaware. Mega Gyarados can set up on practically every Pokémon except Amoonguss, as +6 Waterfall OHKOes Skarm through Sturdy and Taunt shuts down Mega Sableye, Skarmory and Quagsire (beware of Scald burns). Kyurem-B gets rid of Amoonguss and pressures Quagsire. Substitute can work as this team has no phazing options, but then Gyara will rely more on Kyurem-B to remove Quagsire.

By itself, Togekiss 5-0s this team. It just switches in on anything but Amoonguss, clicks NP and flinches everything. The only way to deal with it is with Weavile, which it can just switch to Scizor when it comes. Weavile's Pursuit doesn't do crap to Togekiss and Weavile can't do shit to Mega Scizor. Once Mega Scizor comes in on Weavile, it can just click U-turn and bring Togekiss back to murder the stall team again.
Just like cleaner changed one mon, and ABR one mon as well, you changed one move so now it's yours. :D
Mega CharizardX + A friend
Charizard-Mega-X @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance
- Roost
Really... Nothing is stopping CharizardX from 6-0'ing this team. There's no taunt on Skarm (which is a HUGE no-no for counter bird), Quag can't eat two of these outrages (and skarm can't counter it down fast enough either) and your only real hope is that you somehow get this thing to sleep (darkest timeline and you somehow misclick when amoongus is in...) with enough free turns for weavile to kill it. (Two turns needed, obviously. Not bad, but you also have to spend one to get in).
So Mr ZardX friend is basically anything that eats a sleep.

Keldeo does nice things such as scare weavile even if keldeo is sleeping. And yes, sleep talk is exactly because fuck amoongus but there's really no reason otherwise. Basically amoongus wants to wall this, which is fine. As soon as it can no longer spore anything, ZardX sweeps (and also comes in on everything bar weavile locked icicle crash).

Pretty straightforward core. Specs Volcanion kills everything on the team bar Chansey, which gets trapped by BandTar. BandTar also has a very good matchup against the team by itself, so even if Volcanion somehow dies, you still have a very good chance of breaking the team with tar.
