Next up, we'll have:

Life Orb Landorus-T - While Landorus-T is mostly known for its Choice Scarf set, another variant (surprisingly!) also exists. With a Life Orb, Landorus-T becomes more of a destructive force with utility in Intimidate. However, without a Choice Scarf, Landorus-T now gets outsped by a significant portion of the metagame due to only having middling 91 Base Speed. Yeah!

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 next Friday, noon GMT+1.

Description

This team was built around a Lando/Azu/Volc core, with the intention of sweeping with either Azu or Volc, while stealth rock Lando deters Tflame and changes a few rolls into ohkos. Sceptile was added mostly for fun, but it checks dragons, Diancie, and can use focus blast in a pinch. Lightningrod also protects Volc and Azu from opposing Thundy. My own Thundy is pretty much there because genies, but also to pseudo HH Sceptile so it can ko things like Lando and Kyube. Aegi is a much needed rock resist and Kanga switchin.

Reanimate the Passion

Alright so I am not going to be that active in Smog and mons until the end of the school year (which is less than a week from now). For the meantime, I just would drop a team for the meantime.

This team revolves around a cool offense core of Mega Houndoom/Landorus-T/Milotic. The main premise of the core is to support either Landorus-T or Mega Houndoom along with Milotic to pressure opposing teams. Milotic is essential for the core, which prevents Fire types and opposing Landorus-T from breaking apart the 2 Pokemon by STAB water moves and Competitive respectively. Milotic benefits from both Houndoom and Landorus-T through breaking grasses and using Imprison to lock away any enemy Lando's spread options. The next few Pokemon came soon enough. Jirachi acts as the first fairy resist and provides Sunny Day to potentially stop Rain and boost up Houndoom's attacks. Terrakion is here to help with the sun match-up, given the fact that you don't have a Scarf Lando. Finally, Goggles Aegislash as a 2nd fairy check and spread blocker, as well as a needed Trick Room check.

This team actually has a few weaknesses, and you'd face most of these quite occasionally, such as a combination of Mega Manectric and Keldeo and, potentially, Bisharp. Anyway, this team is really good to use, but it's definitely not for a beginner to start with.

Note: If you fight a team with a bulky water using this team, I guess you should rather click x or go balls.

description

This is a fun tailwind offense team I made around Char Y. Teambuilding process was kinda complicated, had some janky pinsir team with lo lando and deo on it and follow me luke, and then I told myself "time to make this not bad". I ended up with similar role fullfillment but very different mons.

Weavile + Char Y is a lot of fun, and lando+latios+char y is also a lot of fun. Sylveon + Char Y is something I've always wanted to make work, because fire/fairy coverage is fun. Deoxys is just gotta go fast and a solid amoonguss/lando check, but double psychic is a little strange. I thought about mence instead of latios b ut mence+lando isn't the same sweeping force that Latios+Lando is so I decided against it. Still thinking of mons I could replace either of the two with.

Sets:
Turbo sylveon because idk... Stratos says it's the set on shake's team and outspeeding landot with tailwind is p important. Also it's cool to outspeed shitty washtom spreads every once in a blue moon

Tailwind/Heatwave on Char Y: I actually really like this with Weavile's Fake Out + Feint pressure, because you can confidently force a switch to something that resists fire or grass but you'll just be setting tailwind. I was overheat but I like heat wave a little more so I'm using that.

Life Orb Deo could be changed to sash but I like life orb because damage and not being a useless momentum suck, cuz I don't have as much resist-synergy as I'd like

Life Orb HP Ice mixed lando is cool.

Description

This is a standard Kangaskhan team featuring Life Orb Landorus. I used kangaskhan as the mega beacause along with Landorus they have great offensive pressure. Landorus is standard Life Orb because thats what we had to build. Talonflame was added to beat grass and steel types. I am using Will-OWisp Talon to help with the Kangaskhan matchup. I added Latios to beat fighting types that can threaten Kangaskhan and Bisharp. I added Scarftom to beat Landorus which was a big threat to the team. Lastly I have Bisharp and to help with Diancie and Aegislash. The teams standard but is still fun to use.

Description

Okay, so the only thing that's really different about Lando-T is that it's wielding a LO instead of the usual Choice Scarf. It's still quite speedy with 252+ speed, but to compensate for the lack of speed given by Choice Scarf, two Tailwind setters have been placed on the team. Zapdos takes care of any water pokemon troubling Lando-T, while Talonflame gets rid of any ice pokemon that threaten Zapdos and Lando-T. Zapdos also has Thunder Wave, providing extra speed control for the team. I figured I'd add Ferrothorn after noticing a lot of rock and water weaknesses. Ferrothorn deals with both of those types, and, as an added bonus, can defeat pesky ice types. With everything balanced out, I added Mega Kangaskhan (since everybody always says "use a mega"). Aware of a visible fighting weakness, I added Sylveon, finishing the team.

While the TR matchup looks pretty bad on paper, setting TR twice would be really difficult against this team and so I think it's pretty solid. It also absolutely wrecked me when I tried to play against it, so paying my respects in the form of a vote :]
