Description

I originally was going to use this team to ladder quickly for the OM Ladder Challenge, and I had a lot of success. But I noticed that there's no broked Sun team like there was in the XY meta so here it is. As suggested by Magnemite and Gasquakee, Onix is actually a better Sun setter than Carbink because it is faster and it has Taunt, therefore it doesn't have to rely on 50/50s with Magic Coat. The rest is pretty standard, with the two sun sweepers in Victreebel and Leafeon, a hard hitting Fire-type in Rapidash, and a Prankster setter in Volbeat. As my last Pokemon, I chose Zebstrika, aka the Jumpluff counter, since this team is extremely weak to Jumpluff without sun up. Enjoy :]

I'd give Volbeat Relaxed nature and 0 IVs in Speed to ensure slow pivots for your teammates Dundies. Other than that, the team looks fine to me.

As an avid user of sun (my team is almost exactly the same as this one) I have a few nitpicks that are kind of minor but make sun a lot more successful. First, Onix really needs Heat Rock, because every turn of sun is really important and in most matchups SR isn't really a necessity. You can also run a ton more bulk on Leafeon to make it really bulky while still outspeeding everything when sun is up. I personally run 200 HP / 56 Speed with Meadow Plate, as it lets it take hits from quite a surprising amount of stuff. I also like to run a third Chlorophyll user, but at this point it would literally be my team lol, so it's definitely not necessary.

thank you Magnemite made those changes as well

For w/e reason I wasn't getting alerts from this thread.

Added in a couple of teams, please remember that this isn't a team dump for incomplete teams or teams that struggle with a lot of things. These should be fairly easy to use, cool concepts are good. But if it requires the player to be quite skilled then this isn't the right thread for them.

explanation

This team was originally made to showcase a very underrated/underused poke at the time; barbaracle. Baracles biggest stop is grass types so i decided a fire type would be a decent team mate, i changed that slot around a bit because from testing with pokes like simisear/ninetales, i felt i needed a solid fire type switch in so i chose rapidash who has recovery. Torterra completes the coincidental FWG core and is important for checking barbaracle and costa, as well as being a solid switch into pokes like pawniard. I chose toxic to cripple tangela and other fat pokes, as i have stealth rocks on clef. SDef clefairy is a really great pokemon as few pokes can consistently switch into poliwrath/simipour/etc while also providing support in stealth rocks. Knock off is nice for rose, which can be annoying while healing wish can also be used to help support baracle. Machoke was mostly chosen for offensive support as many pokes that annoy this team were weak to fighting, and priority is nice. This is another poke u can change around, ie guts cc over no guard, but i like the hax and the no def drops. Lastly Raichu helps revenge kill as it is faster than pretty much every boosted poke, while can provide momentum and the wearing down of grass types by volt switch. This team doesnt have any clear weaknesses, although rapidash can be annoying, and so can roselia if it gets a lot of sludge bomb poisons

 

[ManOfMany]

Here is a balanced team I have built around a powerful wallbreaking duo of Fraxure and Rampardos. I had a huge winning record with this team and beat a lot of good players, also was able to consistently stay around #10 in the ladder, and won a PU room tour with it.

Explanation

-Piloswine is chosen as my stealth rock setter. Pilo is so consistently good that there is few reasons not to use it. It tanks hits, has a powerful dual STAB combination (icicle crash is chosen over icicle spear for consistency), and has priority.-Next is Pelipper. Pelipper forms a strong defensive core with Piloswine due to its typing, handling water, grass, and fighting that Pilo hates. I gave Pelipper a certain amount of special defense EVs so it can better handle mixed Simipour, specs Poliwrath, Ninetals, and Floatzel after stealth rock. It really isn't bulky enough to take on stronger physical attackers like Stoutland anyway. Air Slash because U-turn is for nubs (learn to double switch) because it helps a lot against Poliwrath as well as grass types.-Zebstrika is my first special sweeper. It has decent power and outspeeds pretty much everything, and can keep momentum with volt switch. The set is standard with HP grass as my filler so I don't get walled by Whiscash.
-Focus Sash Kadabra is a perfect check against set up sweepers. I chose shadow ball over encore to hit Misdreavus, Grumpig, and Beeheeyem harder, while Energy ball is so I can properly revenge kill Barbaracle and Carracosta. I don't really need encore anyway as Rampardos and -Fraxure break through all bulky set-up sweepers.-Fraxure is my set up sweeper and win condition. With eviolite, it is deceptively bulky, and with taunt it can avoid will-o-wisps from Gourgeist and Misdreavus after one Dragon Dance. Taunt also helps in some situations to prevent hazards from going up. Adamant nature-Rampardos destroys everything once it gets a free switch, paving the way for a sweep with Fraxure or Zebstrika. It also comes in on the volt-switches from Zebstrika, and destroys Lickilicky, who this team hates. This team doesn't have a major weakness, but Lickilicky can be very annoying if Rampardos goes down and often has to be outstalled by Pelipper, and Misdreavus because it can't be OHKOed by anything and spreads status easily. Choice scarf users can also be annoying, and also gimmicky sets like cosmic power beheeyem because the team lacks toxic :(

Raining on Your Parade

Description

Might as well post this rain team I made and tested. Relicanth is the lead setting up Stealth Rock and Rain Dance for its teammates while still putting in some work with STAB Waterfall and Head Smash. Volbeat is the other consistent weather setter with paralysis support and Rain Dance. Golduck is my first Swift Swim sweeper, providing its own rain if need be plus STAB Hydro Pump along with Ice Beam for Grass-types and Psychic is mainly for Poliwrath. Poliwrath is running Belly Drum with rain support from its teammates, decimating any foes in its path after a Belly Drum. Huntail is the third Swift Swim sweeper with Shell Smash combined with Life Orb completely destroys weakened foes after Golduck and Poliwrath have cleaned up. The team became extremly weak to Choice Scarf Raichu and I needed an Electric and Grass resist regardless, so Gogoat was thrown onto the team for that very purpose. Not only does it laugh in the face of Raichu, it also has Rain Dance to support its teammates even more plus the reliable recovery with Milk Drink allows Gogoat to stick around and provide rain support if the team needs it.

Substitute/All-out Attacker Poliwrath is just there to sub on switches & to deal as much damage as possible to whatever comes in. You can also use the physical set for this, with Focus Punch, Ice Punch, & Waterfall. Linoone is your sweeper; watch out for steel types like Klang. (Don't try to sweep with this too early.) Jumpluff helps with Linoone be able to sweep better with Memento (Make sure to Memento on a pokemon that is not a fighting type or pokemon that can cause status it with paralysis/poison, or a pokemon that can roar/whirlwind it out.) Grumpig can help cripple other pokemon with Thunder Wave, & can whirlwind other pokemon that might want to try to sweep as well; Shadow Ball is there for other Grumpigs/MrMime. Avalugg is your average, ordinary, everyday, Rapid Spinner. Flareon is your wall breaker & can help get rid of steel types.

Porygon and Gourgeist-Small make up an excellent defensive core that cover each others weaknesses. Porygon is, in my opinion, very underrated as it has access to the coveted Trace ability, allowing it to switch into Ninetails, Raichu, and Poliwrath with impunity and absorb their STAB moves. Porygon is also immune to the Ghost-moves headed Gourgeist's way, who in return takes Fighting-type moves. Gourgeist oftentimes can come in on Poliwrath and if they are non-Specs is able to live an Ice Beam and set up a Sub before recovering with Lefties + Leech Seed and deal continual chip damage. Machoke is a bulky wallbreaker that smashes through weakened or unprepared teams. If you want more power but less bulk you can substitute a Choice Band over Eviolite. Zebstrika is a good offensive pivot that can also sweep late game once the opposing teams' walls are down and sweepers are weakened. Aurorus is a lead and anti-lead all in one, with Snow Warning breaks Sashes and Sturdies and can OHKO most other leads and force them to choose between trying to kill Aurorus and failing, or getting their own Rocks up and risk having them Defogged away later. Pelipper is a nice bulky 'mon that I've dumped my EVs into Sp. Def instead of Defense, allowing it not to struggle against neutral special hits quite so much, like Poliwrath's Ice Beam or Roselia's Giga Drain

Obviously the EVs and movesets can be adjusted/changed by someone smarter and more experienced than me :)
