Can you please do a team with Latios and Tapu Lele?

The idea would be for Lele to break Latios checks for it and set terrain to power up psyshock.

Latios has Levitate. It can't benefit from Psychic Terrain unless grounded through means like Gravity and Iron Ball.

Requesting a team which includes Gastrodon

Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Scald
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Recover

It could seem weird and boring to request a support/defensive/glue mon but I'm tired of losing vs Gren and this is the most similar thing to a counter. Also, with the Manetric and Rain hype this thing beats half the ladder on its own right now. If you want to build with the Curse set go on, but it misses Talon so much (RIP)

craw forces and knocks shit that all hate dealing with gren, whether its tang, ferro, keld, craw puts in a ton of work alongside ashgren because it actually forces each others counters to take a shit ton of damage and lose their item. celes is broke, scarf lati is good and has fog because ive got nothing to absorb tspikes, pex is v annoying. zyg helps out vs stall and between everything on the team, you should be able to break stall but i haven't really tested the stall mu with this a whole lot so it may be lacking there. defensive landot with groundium is a cool pex lure because it punishes burn fishing while still retaining something resembling zyg pressure. alternatively you can make craw sd with a zmove and put lefties/helmet on lando, but i think this build is pretty solid

Mega Mane is back and it looks like a cool mon to build around, i am struggling to actually build around this core of dual intimidate which i think is pretty solid because it also provides volt-turn momentum, which allows to them to have great synergy etc.

Hi, i request BO Mega Charizard Y With tailwind

 

[TMan87]

Hello once again, Teambuilding Workshop.

I'd like to request a BO centered around a Tapu Lele + Weavile core.
I won't give sets since both mons are kinda flexible (especially Tapu Lele), but I can see Pursuit on Weavile.
If details are needed though, I'd be happy to comply.
Thanks in advance !

 

[PanierGarnis]

Hi, I'm here to request a balanced team based on Mantine, since it's viable in OU I really want to use it with Tangrowth but I'm too bad to build such a good balanced team.

Mantine @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 SpD
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Roost
- Defog/Haze

[Martin]

Gyarados @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 72 HP / 188 Atk / 248 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Rest
- Waterfall
- Bounce

ChestoRest Gyara was a set which was used last gen in Nedor's birthday RMT which allows Gyara to set up in the face of stuff like Keldeo and Ferrothorn and other stuff without really caring about status or being worn down into range of priority or whatever in order to accumulate multiple boosts to initiate a sweep. With me having spent time messing around with DD+ChestoRest Kingdra in NU a little recently, I kinda want to see if this set is able to function in the current OU environment, but I'm not totally sure how to go about building around it.

I personally like the sound of Intimidate more, but if you think Moxie would be better then feel free to do that. Also these EVs may need updating 'cause this is an ORAS spread, so do whatever u need to with regards to that; I don't care about the set's specifics too much just so long as it's RestoChesto+DD. Thanks in advance!

Been building with this core already, but I would like to see what more experienced builders could do with it. DD Mega Tar is really strong but suffers with not having enough slots for coverage moves. This set uses its two strongest stabs, along with ice punch for zygarde and lando. Ofc there is still mons like scizor and ferrothorn in the tier, so pairing tar with magnezone is really helpful to assist the sweep.

My man insult whats poppin, so....I kinda went a little off the rails with this build tbh, lol. It was hard for me to remove a weakness in stall(mostly because of dugtrio) and also a big weakness to magearna. I liked the idea of this core tried it like day 1 when ttar came out wanted to try again. Same result occured no solid build. So, I basically changed and revised your core. I kept your core just removed the mega part in ttar. Made it banded breaker ttar and kept zone to help the lando and lati sets which have trouble with celesteela/skarm. I wanted this team to be able to at least give u a decent chance vs stall and if u want a better chance vs stall you can change grass knot on koko for taunt. I made it grass knot because the usage of gastro is rising and would give majority of the team issue but mostly because I do not want to give mega swampert a free switch in which as you can probably see is an issue. Generally speaking swamperts go straight into swampert so this will be a great lure for u. The extra hp evs on charizard y is to take a plus 1 t bolt from magearna cause shift gear focus blast is an issue. I really couldn't do much else about the mon it certainly is an issue so you certainly wanna keep your charizard healthy and hope the magearna isnt electrium and also has fighting coverage for ttar. Not really much else to add theres so much to account for in this metagame. I feel like I tried my best with the options infront of me sorry I didn't give you want you wanted exactly but you know where to find me so If u still want this core and don't give a fuck about stall and magearna and zygarde and the rest of the metagame as a whole then lol ill build you something.

Bless Up.


Edit: Posho Alola you should enjoy this as well.

DownAbove
Request: Cofagrigus



Here it is. I've tested it a few times and it works fairly well, the idea behind the team is Landorus-T+ Heatran breakdown and pressure fatter builds like standard stall. I used Earth Plate Landorus-T as it 2HKOs nearly everything on stall and can reliably get SR up, and later pressure Skarm from using Defog. Tangrowth is your Zygarde check + Ground resist. Mawile is a secondary breaker and pairs well with Cofagrigus as your able to make use of Trick Room if need be. Scarf Keldeo adds some speed as the rest of the team is pretty slow and prevents you from losing to Volcarona. Charti Volc will beat Keldeo but you have Heatran to back it up. You do need to be careful of letting hazards go up since you lack defog otherwise I think the build is solid.

Random Passerby Roscoe's Wetsuit
Request: Magearna + Pinsir / SG + CM Magearna



This is core is a little weird, but I think I made it work. I changed up the sets a little bit to make this work. The team is pretty simple though, Scarf Keldeo for speed and revenging Volcarona. AV Tangrowth to check Zygarde, Koko, and other Keldeos. Mew provides defog support so you don't lose to spikes/toxic spikes, though you need to be careful about letting Mew get statused. You can use Ice Beam over Psychic if you want a better check to Landorus-T/Zygarde, but when I originally made it Psychic was a better fit. Either one works and it's preference. Lastly Heatran is your second steel for Lele and pressuring stall. I changed Magearna's set to the Calm Mind + Shift Gear set, cuz I felt like it would be a cool addition and it's a new set I wanted to try out. Hope you two like it.

As usual click on the sprites for the import.

I'll try to post Suicune + Zygarde and Heracross + Mew later tonight as I didn't like the builds I originally made.

one of these bois should have a ground attack. or both. imo EQ > taunt on ssss gyara cause it stops your sweep being cut short by a full health koko or magearna or something.

choice band zygarde + vincune bulky offense

requested by: malomyotismon
-------------
i built this team to use against pearl in wcop. unfortunately i lost the game due to some rng however, i still think this team is pretty solid.

suicune is pretty standard. an outstanding pokemon in the current metagame climate and a great win condition for this team being the only pokemon with a setup move. if suicune isn't able to win in the late-game i'll usually try to utilize it to wear down some of the grasses and bulky waters that zygarde is unable to break through. heatran is generally a great partner for pokemon that are troubled by grass-types (in this case zygarde and suicune) because heatran is able to take advantage of most grass-type pokemon to find opportunities to fire off powerful attacks or set up substitute. i opted for a modest nature because mega scizor is able to reliably handle the likes of tapu bulu, and the extra power provided by a modest nature achieves much greater rolls when facing the likes of toxapex. mega scizor provides defog support which is useful mostly to remove spikes and toxic spikes that can threaten basically all of the pokemon on this team. mega scizor also works in conjunction with heatran to deal with psychic-, dragon-, and fairy-type threats such as latios, tapu lele, and clefable. tapu bulu is the choice scarf user, checking offensive water- and electric-types, like ash-greninja and tapu koko, while also providing grassy terrain which helps to support mew and suicune. mew is the stealth rocker as well as the main switchin to threats such as mega medicham, zygarde, and fightinium z magearna. it's also one of my main checks to protean greninja, since it can deal with non dark pulse variants. i feel like psychic is needed on this mew to pressure mega venusaur and keldeo, however you can run ice beam if you really prefer it. zygarde rounds out the team as likely my strongest breaker thanks to its choice band. zygarde takes advantage of the support from the likes of heatran and suicune and is able to effectively pressure a lot of different team archetypes due to this team being generally good at dealing with the defensive pokemon that zygarde struggles to break.​

Is this thing ever coming back? Initially we were told it was locked for WCOP, then it came back after WCOP for one team but that was a month and a half ago. This is really disappointing, especially for requesters like me that have waited since April 3rd for a team. Thanks in advance for any answer

 

[p2]

We're waiting for the Dugtrio retest, don't blame us because gamefreak thought it was a good idea to keep randomly dropping megas, constantly shaking up the metagame and making it very difficult to build good teams that didn't heavily struggle with some of the newer drops. All builders agreed that waiting for the Arena Trap/Dug test is the way to go, which shouldn't be too far from now considering there's only a week of olt qualifying left.
