This thread will provide a home for all LC OMs, having tiering information for the 3 biggest ones, LC STABmons, LC AAA, and LC Monotype. Each tier will function independently, having their own councils, TLs, and suspect tests. These OMs will function like any other metas. Posts in this thread should be about suspect tests, changes in viability rankings, thoughts about the meta, and generally all things pertaining to these metas.

LC AAA
Metagame Information: This is normal LC, with a few changes. Pokemon can have almost any ability in the game. This creates interesting sets and strategies that would otherwise not exist, making for a very fun meta.

LC STABmons
Metagame Information: Pokemon can have any move of their type. this means that pokemon like numel can have precipice blades, blast burn, etc.

LC Monotype
Metagame information: this is normal LC, except that All pokemon on a team must be of the same type, or in the case of dual types, have one type in common.

All three metas are largely unexplored and therefore have no council or viability rankings, so therefore based on posts in this thread I will choose a TL and council, who will then make the viability rankings.
Have fun!

This is a FWG offense team with some of the most popular sets from LC AAA. The goal is to sweep with Pawniard, Ponyta, or Mienfoo. Tough Claws Foo is used to outspeed and OHKO Pony after Rocks while also 2HKOIng Spritzee with Poison Jab after Rocks. Regenerator Chinchou is a solid check to Fletchling (RIP Gale Wings Doduo) and is just a generally great pivot. No Guard Pony puts stuff to sleep, burns stuff, and lures waters. Tough Claws Pawniard is still incredibly powerful and a potent sweeper. Drilbur sets up Rocks and can't be spinblocked thanks to Refrigerate, and hits hard with Ground/Ice's great coverage. Prankster Foongus is a check to sweepers that can sleep things and then paralyze whatever comes in afterwards. Overall nice basic team that should be easy for beginners to use.

This is a weather based team which aims to weaken the opposing team and sweep with Chlorophyll Cubone. Ferroseed is the teams Water Type resist and is a great switch-in to pretty much anything because of Regenerator and Leech Seed. Ferroseed is also the teams hazard mon and can Paralyze annoying mons with TWave. Timburr is here because it's pretty much the most annoying mon is AAA LC. It traps shit like Pawniard and Magnemite and absolutely obliterates their soul, and it can set up with Bulk Up to make the situation even worse for the opponent. Ponyta is here to set up Sun for Cubone and to make good use of it itself, as it helps it's recovery, strengthens Fire Blast and takes a full turn off of using Solar Beam. Pawniard is here because it has priority in Sucker Punch and it hits too hard, and Swords Dance is a cute alternate win condition. Chlorophyll Cubone is a fucking monster and it will flat out KO anything with Stealth Rocks down if it has been Knocked Off, and it's bulky enough to take it's fair share of physical attacks, taking ~60% from a Fletchling Acrobatics. Regenerator Vullaby has a spot because it can switch into Fighting Type attacks and helps take care of hazards. Run Roost if you like having Vullaby not dead and run U-turn if you want to lure in Pawn and trap it with Magnet Pull Timburr. This team was made like 9 months ago so it's weak to most of the newer threats such as Speed Boost Yanma and No Guard Ponyta, but they can (kind of) be played around.

This an offensive team based around Speed Boost Yanma and Carvanha. Yanma's job is to sweep weakened teams, or damage the opposing team enough for Carvanha to sweep through it. Carvanha's job is either to break for Yanma or sweep itself. Pawniard earned itself a spot by being autisticly powerful with Tough Claws boosted STAB Knock Offs, which remove Eviolites for Yanma and Carvanha to sweep. Pawniard also provides the team with an alternate win condition with Swords Dance, and adds to the fast paced play style with priority in Sucker Punch. Levitate Magnemite is on the team for very few reasons, and the main one is to trick Speed Boost Yanmas, which usually run HP Ground, into going for it while you KO them with a Volt Switch. Magnemite also serves as Refrigerate Drilbur check as it no longer has Mold Breaker and it can retain momentum with Volt Switch. Regenerate Pancham found a spot on the team as a Pawniard check and good defensive partner with Snubbull, and Knock Off is a huge plus. Regenerate Snubbull is the team's Fighting Type check, which also has Close Combat to lure and fuck up Pawniard switch-ins, Crunch to catch Ghosts, and TWave to slow down shit that's getting out of hand.

A semistall team, based around checking a lot of things. Onix can act as a suicide lead, but it's often better to wait around till Fletchling is gone before sacking it. It is still able to work as a pivot, pivoting into normals/flyers and setting up. Ferroseed/Ponyta/Frillish form a good FWG core which can also check a lot of things, Pony+Frillish provide a lot of burns. Porygon is my rapid spinner and all-round check to many things. Vullaby also gives me a good all round check to a lot of stuff, including GeoCotton and Timburr who could be threatening. Main threat for the team is Pawniard, keep Ponyta healthy for it then burn it.
