With a good lead in votes, Nido-Rus + clius takes this week, congrats!

For this week, we're gonna go back to DOU with Mega Charizard Y + Hoopa-U! This core was suggested by qsns and is basically two really hard hitters with some hint of offensive synergy. Both can be a bit frail at times though, so support will be crucial!

On another note, this project somehow lasted a year! Thanks to everyone who participated so far : )

Deadline of building on Saturday, GMT Noon!

Description

So the first two slots are Mega Charizard Y and Hoopa-U since that's we are forced to use. The Mega Charizard Y EVs take a Landorus-T Rock Slide, takes a Timid LO Thundurus Thunderbolt, and outspeed Jolly Breloom. The Hoopa-U EVs take a -1 Mega Kangaskhan Return. I added Scrafty to help get up Trick Room with Fake Out and serve as a check to Mega Kangaskhan and Heatran. The EVs survive a Timid LO Secret Sword from Keldeo. Then we got our Talonflame and Sun Check in Volcanion. The EVs takes two -1 Earthquakes from Adamant Landorus-T, survive a Timid Specs Draco Meteor both Latios and Hydreigon most of the time. The speed is to underspeed Hoopa-U in Trick Room so Hoopa-U can break protect and wide guard and then Volcanion can attack. Aegislash provides Wide Guard support from Mega Charizard Y and a solid switch in from Mega Kangaskhan and Landorus-T's Earthquakes. It's also a great check to Mega Diancie with really threatens Mega Charizard Y and Hoopa-U with its STABs. Finally, we have AV Landorus-T to switch into other Landorus-Ts that try to Rock Slide Mega Charizard Y or U-Turn off Hoopa-U.

desc

This team is ridiculously unbalanced but I use it all the time and it somehow works through the sheer firepower of 5 life orbs and zard y. Scarf hoopa is a great set and it helps a ton with dragons and the not so surprise ko on lando. Aegi checks lando diancie, thundy checks diancie talon, terrak checks kang tran. Outside of that you basically position yourself so aegi, zard or tran just gets off free damage that's hard to switch into. I find myself using this vs better players than me when I know matchup will give me a higher chance of winning than anything else, but it's still playable against most teams. Not chalk though, you click x vs a halfway decent player.

Description

This is a squad I built with Matame. We started with Hoopa and Zard because thats what we had to build around. We added Kyurem-B because Landorus-T looked look like a really big threat. Next we added Jirachi to give the team some speed control and support with Helping Hand and Follow Me. Landorus-T was added to provide Intimidate and overall had good synergy with the rest of the team. Lastly we added Tailwind Whimsicott for some more speed control and another check to Diancie.

EDIT: Matame wanted to add Terrakion but Beat Up sucks

description

When I was building this team, I had three Mons that I particularly wanted to check: Landorus-T, Heatran, and Mega Diancie. As shown above, the team has three Mons with Ice type moves, two of which will OHKO Landorus-T and one that will just decrease its speed. (Note that Conkeldurr's -1 Iron Fist boosted Ice Punch will OHKO Landorus-T.) Also, Zard's HP Ground and Landorus-T's Earthquake should be able to take care of Heatran, but just in case that it has Shucca Berry, the team have Conkeldurr to Mach Punch it. (Two Mach Punches will take care of Heatran.) For the matter of Mega Diancie, the team can use Earthquake, Iron Head (imao), Solar Beam (80% chance for OHKO), and Energy Ball (50% chance for OHKO). Thus, this team has no excuse for not being able to counter these three Mons.

Aside from the discussion of Zard threats, this team has enough moves to maintain control over the opponent's speed. Conkeldurr's Wide Guard is also useful for protecting the team against Diamond Storm, Rock Slide, Muddy Water, and opposing Heat Wave, allowing other members of the team to do what they got to do. And, I found Thundurus's Taunt particularly useful in eliminating opposing Wide Guard and Protect, allowing the team to continue to be an offensive force in the game. (Bye Bye Aegislash, etc.) With the addition on Landorus and Jirachi, Dragon types and THALK ain't a problem either. And lastly, Hoopa-U's Gunk Shot helps out with problematic Fairy types. (THE END)

Don't read further if you don't want to hear why I put Sunny Day on Hoopa-U.

Due to the frustration that Prankster Thundurus always use Rain Dance, I decided to put Sunny Day on Hoopa-U. Although this in most cases is a terrible idea, it worked pretty fine, allowing my Zard to Heat Wave or Solar Beam as needed (while causing Swift Swimmers to be rather useless). Nevertheless, I do not recommend that you put Sunny Day on Hoopa-U unless you know that you will have a Weather War. Thanks for your patience in reading this description, mate.

With a good lead in votes, GreenGogoatttt wins the week!

This week, we're gonna do Mega Gardevoir + Volcanion! In this core, Mega Gardevoir functions really as a strong attacker that can deal with Dragon- and Electric-types while Volcanion deals with Steels such as Jirachi and Aegislash.

Deadline on Saturday GMT noon!
