Team 4 by p2 has won this teambuilding round! Congratulations, will be added to the hall of fame shortly (like actually shortly after this post alongside the winner of previous round).

Lets get this going.

ROUND 48:

​

Lobsters are very vicious, territorial creatures ready to fuck shit up if anything bothers them. This perfectly describes Crawdaunt tbh and yeah, this week teambuilding challenge consists of Building a Team with/around Crawdaunt.

Building Round lasts until Thursday 25th at 11:59 GMT -5. Have fun everyone!

this is a team i built a week or two ago and its based around the daunt + mzor core. mzor checks mega alt for daunt, they both wear keldeo down for each other, and zor can bring daunt in with uturn. added latios next for electric check/keldeo check. next scarf lando to revenge kill like everything. clef was next as a check to mlop and a secondary check to stuff like mdiancie. last was heatran which sets rocks walls like everything (except eq zardx which is broken anyways). sand mu might look a little shaky on the surface but cb daunt puts in insane amounts of work vs those builds.

SD Crawdaunt + DD Charizard-X basically aim to overwhelm physically defensive checks and sweep, with Charizard helping with physical grasses. I don't remember where the spread came from but it lets Charizard set up on Rotom-W. Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn is some tech that puts Azumarill in +1 Flare Blitz range after RH + IB +SR, which also helps Crawdaunt. Now, I figured that spreading paralysis would be amazing for helping the sweep, so I added Discharge Zapdos, which helps with the birdspam that's infesting the ladder, as well as provide hazard control. Cresselia provides Lunar Dance, and more Thunder Wave (and is fat and never dies unless I want it to). Next, Body Slam Gastrodon (s/o Nevis) helps to spread more paralysis, and provide another Keldeo check.

Y'all can use THIS for the sprites. You just have to put there the team's importable and click convert. Then copy the BB Code and simply paste it here.

A team around Crawdaunt and M-Latias. Tangrowth hits physical hits while providing a nice ground resist to the team and utility to the team with sleep powder. Heatran provides rocks and a fairy and dragon resist while checking M-Scizor. M-Latias can Late game sweep, Take Hits from Keldeo, Charizard Y, etc and check them. CB Diggersby Wall breaks for this team and breaks some Stall teams along side crawdaunt while 2 hit Ko'ing Tangrowth and Slowbro and other physical walls.

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Return vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Slowbro: 220-261 (55.8 - 66.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tangrowth: 199-235 (49.2 - 58.1%) -- 98% chance to 2HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Fire Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 180-214 (53.8 - 64%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

And Scarf Landorus-T is there for speed control for M-Lopunny, M-Manectric, Latios, Gengar, Tornadus-T and other fast pokemon that give this team trouble.

About

Crawdaunt SD to fat break and slower balanced.
Mega Metagross to press Mega Venu with Zen Headbutt and other Grass with Ice Punch, plus support Pursuit.
Infernape against Bisharp, M-Scizor. The last move is to lure Quagsire or take Talonflame on a switch.
Defog support and Keldeo switch, Latias is pretty anemic compared to Latios, but she can switch in Mega Manectric HP Ice after rocks, and this is very important.
Thundurus excellent speed and emergency Thunder Wave, Nasty Plot to WinCon at the end of the battle.
Finally, a glue, support rocks... This is Landorus-T, almost mandatory in every non-stall team, does not need presentations.

Description

Did you know that Crabhammer has an increased Critical Hit ratio? With that Focus Energy passed to it from Scolipede, Crawdaunt reliably 2HKOs everything except for some random shit nobody cares about... at +0. Nothing is safe after a Swords Dance. Jolly is necessary to outspeed Megazam and Megadactyl at +2, while a few EVs moved into HP don't really wreck my speed tier but give it another turn of Life Orb damage. Mega Diancie breaks stall (nothing on stall really tolerates +1 Diamond Storms, except for Quagsire, which is wrecked by even uninvested Moonblast), stops all phasing (fuck DTail), and checks birds. Also if I used Espeon, it would be too much like this rmt. Volcarona is added to bust up common balance cores and Steel- and Grass-types, especially Breloom. Passho Berry is necessary for miscellaneous Crawdaunts and Azumarills, and to let it get a QD off on Keldeo. Breloom is the sand check, especially with Natural Gift+Lansat Berry taking a chunk out of bulky Grass-types that sand likes to switch into it. Seismitoad is the optimal Stealth Rock user here, since it counters any Electric-type that doesn't have Grass Knot, pressures Keldeo and Ground-types, checks Rain teams, etc. It runs an offensive set to keep up the pressure, and goes itemless to survive +2 LO Koff from Bisharp.

Description

Crawdaunt is the pokemon I built around and tried to get the best use out of it, I chosen the choice band set so I can hit enemies hard and since It can break down stall quite easy I wanted to try to get much use out of the crab as possible so I give it nice volt/turn support from 3 different pokemon but before I get to them Crawdaunt's partner in crime is mega scizor and having mega zor on this team is very needed since its the only counter to weavile and kyurem-b barring hp fire, mega scizor and craw really benefit each for since craw helps break down threats while mega scizor just cleans up weaken pokemon with bullet punch, lando-t is nice to set up rocks which is always needed and u-turn for momentum which if in the right situation crawdaunt can take advantage quite easily, jirachi is my next choice with the scarf set so I can have some good speed tier on my team so I can out pace pokemon like lopunny and torn-t also fills in the role to counter hp fire latios once while can switch in multiple times vs other latis set also u turn again really helps gives the team and crawdaunt nice momentum, amoonguss is my next choice since it really helps beat keldeo so nicely gave it a more special defensive amoonguss to handle electric types better also regen+spore fits so nicely for this team and finally I chosen assault vest raikou now this slot use to be thundurus since I needed something to beat bulky waters nicely but the main problem I had with thundurus made the team weak to mega manectric and nearly lost to it but luckily he let my mega scizor set up so I got lucky with the win while raikou on the other hand really handles mega manectric very well and while assault vest is raik's weakest viable set but on this team it just fits super nice and having that extra bulk is always appreciated.

Description

The build originally came up with azelf in place of metagross, but i noticed after testing the team, that it was pretty weak to latios (The team is still a little weak to HP fire latios, as you can see). Basically, the only viable set for daunt is SD + LO, but there are variants of it, like SD + Dread Plate or Splash Plate for no Life Orb recoil, and the less common CB daunt, that is a cool set, but the team was involved on SD + LO set. Metagross is not very common on the dark spam metagame, but I was sure about one thing, no one would expect a DPP set that was forgotten gen 4 metagame(I really like DPP, but it's was not my idea, a friend of mine had this incredible idea, and I really liked it), so metagross EVs was programmed to survive an EQ of lando-t defensive, and a offensive chomp set EQ too, basically to settup SR, and after that BOOM, but if the opp is using lati@s, save this little boy for the future, because it's also used to trap lati@s with pursuit, and it can easily deal with clefable(If the clefable show up flamethrower click X, ok jk) and other pokemons that are weak to its most powerful STAB move. Well, as you guys know, if meta is a suicide leader(or not, hehe), you can't just go on, and click defog on latios, there came the idea of using scarf excadrill, for not much damage of rocks, and it's a very nice hazard removal that was very cool on XY and early ORAS, but after that, no scarf exca anymore, just offensive sand rush sweeper, it can be used to take on rotom-w if you predict well. The rest of the team was basically the normal building, keldeo for dark spam checking (not including CB ttar), and a very common threat for every team with no switch for it, I went for scarf, because it's a way to regenge kill mega punny, and that's not all, ORAS is not a metagame that refuses 2 scarfs for speed control/revenge kill, it's just a way to be sure of getting rid from fast threats. Mega pinsir is the main mega of every HO(even if you say that this is not completely a HO), and I went for hyper cutter especially because of lando-t, intimidate on pinsir will fail if it's not in its mega form, and +2 return aerialite mega-pinsir 1hko lando-t at any % of HP. And the last but not the less important, latios, it's a powerful and decent wallbreaker in the metagame, and can 2hko CB ttar with surf after rocks, also it's usually the keldeo check on HO, not satisfied? it can check rotom-w too, for not risking burn or hydro on exca. The team has basically 2 top threats, ferrothorn and thundurus, because the switch form thundurus is palmeiras' mundial(Just a brazilian meme, sorry), and ferrothorn 2hko keldeo with power whip, and settup rocks, but if you do the right plays you can go for it even if the matchup is not good for you.

Special thanks for gustavoyay, for metagross idea.

Description

Standard Skarmory HO team. Skarm set is the super standard Suicide Lead set. Taunt LO Gengar spinblocks, while stallbreaking and being my best answer to Clef, Loom, Tang and putting lots of pressure to balance team in general. Mixed Defiant Thundy is another classic HO mon, breaking physical walls with ease and deterring Defog; went with GK over HP Ice for annoying stuff like Quagsire, Gastro and Seismitoad. Picked CB Daunt over LO cause my team needed more immediate power to break defensive teams, and CB Jet is super spammable late game. Mega Lop destroys offense with hazard support; QA over Ice Punch cause Lucario already has it and I don't need additional coverage vs Lando, Chomp and stuff. SD Luke round up the team, being both a great wallbreaker vs defensive teams and a fantastic cleaner with ESpeed.

Look, we're pals and all, but I can't have you taking my teambuilding niche of making teams blown back by Keldeo. It's just not cool man.
