Weebl, Roxer, and n10sit all tied with 3 votes each. As I haven't voted though, I'll break the tie with a vote on Weebl's team, making him the winner. Congrats!
New week, new team. You guys probably forgot this thing exists:
Genesect - It's a decent Scarfer that boasts a lot of good coverage moves in Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Iron Head... yeah. Being a Steel-type that doesn't resist Diamond Storm sucks badly, though, and its frailty leaves it significantly damaged by resisted attacks :(. Still, it's a cool bug!
Nifty sprite converter: http://fulllifegamer.bplaced.net/format.php - Just put in your importable and you'll get sprites. I'd prefer it if you guys set it to "sprites" to save me some important seconds, and name the hide tags as "Importable" and "Description" thanks :)!
Deadline on Friday, noon GMT+1

DKATS with Genesect and Cresselia
I took my Mega Diancie frame work, DKATS, and added Genesect as the Steel. See the framework here
The core of Diancie, Keldeo, Ammoongus, Talonflame, and Steel type is most week to Thundy, Sun Venu, Steel Wing Talonflame, and Jirachi.
Scarf Genesect's Ice Beam OHKO's LandoT and does big damage to Thundy. Genesect will survive a Talonflame brave bird and OHKO with Thunderbolt. I run Flame Thrower to deal with Jirachi.
Maxed Def Cress takes Talonflame hits and 2hko it after recoil damage. I am using Goggles to prevent sleep power from Venu and Amoongus. Ice Beam as another Thundy counter.

WELL, WELL, WELL. It's probably almost half a year since I made an actual team for the competition. Thanks to not thinking about retirement on 'mons anymore, it's about time I get down to business. Here, I'll introduce one of my new impromptu team ideas that I've been working on recently. Got more on my storage, and I'm not sure whether I would RMT one of them or nah. I'll leave this for the meantime before I have some time off for a trip to Manila in muh country.
Anyway, onto the team. Genesect and Keldeo is the core I chose to work on. I remembered working with Genesect once during the Salamence-M test, where it ended up failing on one of my previous RMTs. Anyway, Genesect is still cool, and I find it working with Keldeo good enough, with both complementing their weaknesses somehow. Genesect gets rid of things such as Cresselia and Diancie, which Keldeo cannot completely touch. On the other hand, steel gene hates some things, with Heatran as #1 on the hatelist, and Keldeo breaks them apart. Because they can actually break rock types apart, I added Charizard-Y to spam fire to the field. I chose Overheat here over some things like Focus Blast or HP Ground, because it wouldn't be necessary to over prepare for Heatran when you have many ways to beat it.
Now, we still don't have a good switch for big mom Kanga, so enter Rocky Helmet Amoonguss, the best sleep spreader in every way possible, as well as redirection, which is very good. Then, notice how the team is weak to Thundurus. It sucks losing good speedy Pokemon, especially Keldeo and Char-Y, and losing the almighty powers of Amoonguss just to Prankster Taunt and all that crap. Well, fear no more now that we have Rhyperior! An additional Kanga switch-in is good, and Lightning Rod is boss! Add some more flying hate and you've got hands down probably the best thing on earth. Yeah T-flame, you're done! Finally, my weather match-up still sucks, and still no good way to say "hell no" to Diancie with a slight surprise. Enter Talonflame, still a great 'mon even if it loses to Rhyperior lol. Taunt is badass, and Steel Wing catches Diancie and Fairies by surprise, so hell yeah!

Some changes I can recommend:
- Sash Bisharp > Talonflame. Good Diancie killer, Lando punisher and TR hate.
- HP Ground > Overheat on Char-Y, just in case you don't like Overheat but it is badass as hell so yea.
- Quick Guard > Icy Wind on Keldeo

its hyperoffense. serperior beats waters and trick room with taunt. keldeo beats fires and is my KANG CHECK. aerodactyl is my check to talonflame. used over diancie for flying stab, meaning i dont have to use my own talonflame, and because it outspeeds 100000 things. these 3 mons are weak to dragons, so genesect patches up that weakness and works as a powerful pivot that also benefits from the current mons' ability to beat talonflame and other fire types. rotom-h checks pretty much every steel except aegislash, beats thundurus, sun, and is a secondary check to talonflame. latios has a bunch of misc resistances and checks landorus, keldeo, and rain.

i wanted to build a team around ggengar and here it is. most important thing when you're playin with shadow tag is keeping up momentum imo. lando-t is boring, so i chose genesect. the other members should take out mostly sylveon's (and talonflame's) counter. i use jolly talonflame to not lose to opposing adamant talonflame. i don't really need steel wing because sludge Bomb and brave bird together take mega-diancie out.so i chose tailwind over steel wing to support sylveon (NOTE: aegi can't be trapped, remember that)

I took my Mega Diancie frame work, DKATS, and added Genesect as the Steel. See the framework here
The core of Diancie, Keldeo, Ammoongus, Talonflame, and Steel type is most week to Thundy, Sun Venu, Steel Wing Talonflame, and Jirachi.
Scarf Genesect's Ice Beam OHKO's LandoT and does big damage to Thundy. Genesect will survive a Talonflame brave bird and OHKO with Thunderbolt. I run Flame Thrower to deal with Jirachi.
Maxed Def Cress takes Talonflame hits and 2hko it after recoil damage. I am using Goggles to prevent sleep power from Venu and Amoongus. Ice Beam as another Thundy counter.

WELL, WELL, WELL. It's probably almost half a year since I made an actual team for the competition. Thanks to not thinking about retirement on 'mons anymore, it's about time I get down to business. Here, I'll introduce one of my new impromptu team ideas that I've been working on recently. Got more on my storage, and I'm not sure whether I would RMT one of them or nah. I'll leave this for the meantime before I have some time off for a trip to Manila in muh country.

Anyway, Genesect is still cool, and I find it working with Keldeo good enough, with both complementing their weaknesses somehow. Genesect gets rid of things such as Cresselia and Diancie, which Keldeo cannot completely touch. On the other hand, steel gene hates some things, with Heatran as #1 on the hatelist, and Keldeo breaks them apart. Because they can actually break rock types apart, I added Charizard-Y to spam fire to the field. I chose Overheat here over some things like Focus Blast or HP Ground, because it wouldn't be necessary to over prepare for Heatran when you have many ways to beat it.
Now, we still don't have a good switch for big mom Kanga, so enter Rocky Helmet Amoonguss, the best sleep spreader in every way possible, as well as redirection, which is very good. Then, notice how the team is weak to Thundurus. It sucks losing good speedy Pokemon, especially Keldeo and Char-Y, and losing the almighty powers of Amoonguss just to Prankster Taunt and all that crap. Well, fear no more now that we have Rhyperior! An additional Kanga switch-in is good, and Lightning Rod is boss! Add some more flying hate and you've got hands down probably the best thing on earth. Yeah T-flame, you're done! Finally, my weather match-up still sucks, and still no good way to say "hell no" to Diancie with a slight surprise. Enter Talonflame, still a great 'mon even if it loses to Rhyperior lol. Taunt is badass, and Steel Wing catches Diancie and Fairies by surprise, so hell yeah!

It sucks losing good speedy Pokemon, especially Keldeo and Char-Y, and losing the almighty powers of Amoonguss just to Prankster Taunt and all that crap. Well, fear no more now that we have Rhyperior! An additional Kanga switch-in is good, and Lightning Rod is boss! Add some more flying hate and you've got hands down probably the best thing on earth. Yeah T-flame, you're done! Finally, my weather match-up still sucks, and still no good way to say "hell no" to Diancie with a slight surprise. Enter Talonflame, still a great 'mon even if it loses to Rhyperior lol. Taunt is badass, and Steel Wing catches Diancie and Fairies by surprise, so hell yeah!

its hyperoffense. serperior beats waters and trick room with taunt. keldeo beats fires and is my KANG CHECK. aerodactyl is my check to talonflame. used over diancie for flying stab, meaning i dont have to use my own talonflame, and because it outspeeds 100000 things. these 3 mons are weak to dragons, so genesect patches up that weakness and works as a powerful pivot that also benefits from the current mons' ability to beat talonflame and other fire types. rotom-h checks pretty much every steel except aegislash, beats thundurus, sun, and is a secondary check to talonflame. latios has a bunch of misc resistances and checks landorus, keldeo, and rain.

i wanted to build a team around ggengar and here it is. most important thing when you're playin with shadow tag is keeping up momentum imo. lando-t is boring, so i chose genesect. the other members should take out mostly sylveon's (and talonflame's) counter. i use jolly talonflame to not lose to opposing adamant talonflame. i don't really need steel wing because sludge Bomb and brave bird together take mega-diancie out.so i chose tailwind over steel wing to support sylveon (NOTE: aegi can't be trapped, remember that)
