They're kind of bogged down with requests right now, but I can say from experience he works great on rain teams. Try using him instead of the standard Magearna or Tapu Koko, and keep the rest of the team pretty much the same as normal. Just remember to use Thunder!

M-Diancie used to be a boss in X & Y, but I've struggled to do much with it this gen. It doesn't sweep like it used to, nor is it a reliable hazard blocker or setter. I think it can still be an effective wallbreaker, so hopefully you all can come up with a team that lets it punch plenty of holes. Thanks in advance!
Hey, I have recently enjoyed the ban of Zygarde from OU, as it has allowed what has arguably been one of my favorite sets on one of my most favorite gen 7 Pokemon. Yes, I am talking about the one and only SPECS TAPU KOKO!
Tapu Koko @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Fire
- Roost / Dazzling Gleam
This mon is a very amazing wallbreaker that is able to decimate Pokemon that would otherwise be able to stomach Electric moves like Heatran, Tyranitar, and Mega Scizor. I have always been a fan of this set, but unfortunately, during the Zygod meta it really fell off due to the huge popularity of Grass-types that rose in usage to check it. However, now that these aforementioned Grass-types are having less usage, this set can shine once more. Unfortunately, I have been having trouble trying to build around this mon w/o stacking weakness. I could use some help with a team featuring this mon. Offense preferred.

I wanted to request a build around the defensive core of hippowdon + toxapex, which is a core I used to like a lot before USM went out, and seeing it in spl made me want to play it again.
Those two mons cover each others weaknesses quite well, while offering a lot of utility with SR, Haze, Toxic/Toxic spikes, to support the team.
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream

Bold Nature

- Scald
- Recover
- Toxic/Toxic Spikes
- Haze
I'm not quite sure about what the spreads/exact move set should be, but anyway, it's something up to you guys. I would appreciate some kind of bulky offense/balance but I would be glad with anything you guys would come up with anyway.

Crawdaunt @ Choice Band / Life Orb
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Atk / ???
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Crabhammer / Liquidation
- Aqua Jet
- Crunch / Superpower
Hey ya'll, Crawdaunt is one of my favorite wallbreakers and one of my favorite pokemon. Super satisfying to click moves with, and it can force chip on pokemon like tang, fini, and ferro.
I've been struggling to build it with pokemon that can both enable it to fulfill its role, as well as with mons that can take advantage of the forced chip. When I try to facilitate Crawdaunt's presence, my team often lacks important properties like offensive checks, speed control, or effective cleaners / sweepers.
I'm also open to other Crawdaunt sets like SD or DD. Thanks in advance!

I wanted to make certain that I had a solid partner for one of my favorite Pokemon since I was a kid, Alakazam. I found Magearna to be a good answer due to its ability to deal with a lot of dark types that Alakazam may struggle with. If a psychic sweep isn't viable in the late game for Alakazam, I can count on Magearna to be able to pick up the slack after a boost or two. If the teambuilder would like to swap out Magearna in favor of something more interesting, they're more than welcome to do so though!
I would like to request a team built around the double dragon core of Mega Latios and Kyurem B
Latios-Mega @ Latiosite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Recover
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Psychic/Draco Meteor/Hidden Power Fire/???
and
Kyurem-Black @ Life Orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Hidden Power [Fire]/Roost/???
- Ice Beam
- Fusion Bolt
- Earth Power
To my knowledge, these are the two most common sets for Latios and Kyurem and for good reason, imo. I think they're both very splashable. As strong special attacking dragons, they have decent offensive synergy together in that they have similar checks that can be overwhelmed.
These two are some of my fave mons to use and just click buttons with and every time I try to build around them I end building something pretty awful lul. I'd like the team to be either offense or balance. If you could fit a Tapu Koko on the team as well, I'd like that, but it's not as important. Feel free to take any liberty to change the sets, but these are what I would prefer.
Thanks! :]

I would like to request a team built around Electrium-Z Kyurem-B and Tapu Koko. Electrium-Z allows Kyurem-B to break through mons like AV Mage and Jirachi, but in order to do this, it requires electric terrain from koko to fully do so. Koko can also Volt/Turn safely into Kyurem-B. Having Electrium-Z allows it to run HP fire mainly for Mega Scizor but also for a way to hit Ferrothorn.

I love both of these individually and they work great together. Grassy Terrain lets Magearna take hits from EQ threats like Lando-T that normally kill it before it can fight back. Bulu is an absolute tank with 3 forms of regen.
You can change these sets around a bit but I'd like to keep the double dance on Mag. I've used Corkscrew Crash Focus Blast Magearna before, but that was only because I had enough fairy coverage already. Would also like to toy with Terrain Extender on the Bulu.

Would it be alright if I requested a mon that was already suggested, but with a different set? I'm specifically referring mega-chomp, as I see the stealth-rock set but not a more physically based SD one
yeah that should be fine.
on another note i'll be making a post tomorrow with some teams stay tuned, this is not dead :)
Firstly, thanks for the quick reply! And moving on to my request...
Garchomp-Mega @ Garchompite
Ability: Rough Skin

Hasty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
Mega-Chomp's sheer wall breaking power is insane and while the drop in speed hurts it can still do a lot of damage. I personally prefer the physical set, as it's easier to find things that hit hard on the special side that love having their checks and counters gone. It also, if combined with something like Tapu Fini, basically rips any stall team without Skarmory wide open unless you opt for Fire Blast over Draco Meteor. I wouldn't recommend it as it's a bit niche, but it is something to keep in mind. I'm not suggesting Fini as a core by the way, just as something that I've used and seen success with. If you can slow down the opponent with stuff like Thunder Wave or Webs (only tried the former) it can also just sweep as well since the loss in speed from it's normal form is negligible with everything slowed down to it's level, leaving power to be the big factor between the two and Mega-Chomp definitely takes the cake in that department.

If you wanted the definition of a pokemon that follows the snowballeffect it's serperior. With it's massively powerful stab leaf storm with no draw backs but a 10% chance to miss that boosts it's special attack every time it's used, it's a good thing it's mediocre stat spread and move pool hold it back from being broken like similar pokemon with op abilities on them like mega kangaskhan. Still it's fast and can gain traction to make up for it's lack luster starting power and poor attacking movepool with contary and glare to cripple or boost when needed. I'm hoping for some help to build a team that can take advantage of it's ability to steam roll and cripple while making up for it's inmability to deal with pokemon it simply cannot boost over like mega-lati@s, perhaps a grass/water/fire bulky offensive core?

Requesting a Minior team, please
Greetings everyone!
In this post I would like to ask for a team made around one of the most feared Pokémon in BW1: TERRAKION.
I was first thinking to use CB Terrak or a Dual Dance set, but I dropped it in favour of just a SD set because EQ is a nice coverage move.
Since it's a pretty self-explanatory set, I don't know what else I can add.
I would love to get into OU, specially using one of my favorite mons (sadly, I can't ask for a M-Aero team since the thing isn't viable, lmao:[ )
Thank you so much in advance!
EDIT: Since lyd said it was okay, I would preffer to have this Terrak in a balanced team. I know that I will probably have to wait more for my team since it's more specific, but I have no problem at all when it comes to waiting.
