Projects National Dex Ubers Teambuilding Competition

- Start date
Hi everybody!
Sami was the lone vote so Arceus-Rock Balance by Cancel Cult has won. Sami is also going to be taking over the teambuilding competition! I'd normally have some snide comment here, but I'm thankful as my movitation for the last while has been less than zero and I'm sure Sami will do a fantastic job!

had to spin a wheel due to a three-way-tie...
We are so back... this time with a Ground-type that doesn't see much use compared to the almost omnipresent Primal Groudon and Zygarde... it's Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground!
Arceus-Ground @ Groundium Z / Earth Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Def / 124 Spe
Tera Type: Ground
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Recover / Taunt
Although it has much less use than it did near the start of the generation, mostly because of the dominance of Arceus-Dark and Extreme Killer Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground still remains a powerful wallbreaker and sweeper, especially with the drop in usage of Giratina-O + Alomomola structures that would otherwise beat it. How will you build around it? Deadline is Monday 28th July.

Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground Offense 
I posted this in #ndot-discussion of the NDOU discord server and everyone made fun of me. Anyways, Kingambit is a funny partner since it appreciates Arceus-Ground luring in Giratina-O for it, while Kingambit also beats Yveltal, Ultra Necrozma, and Lunala for this team. Primal Groudon serves as my main Zacian-C check since Arceus-Ground is very inconsistent at doing that, while Giratina-O serves as hazard control and a Primal Groudon check. It also soft checks Primal Kyogre to an extent. Zacian-C gives me speed control and a secondary wincon, while Ultra Necrozma provides hazards to this team, and acts as a secondary way of pressuring Coil Zygarde.

Winner is...
Kingambit Offense by Sami
Next Pokemon is... Defensive Primal Kyogre!
Kyogre @ Blue Orb
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 236 Def / 24 SpD
IVs: 0 Atk
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Rest
Primal Kyogre almost guarantees progress in this tier, whether it be against hyper offense or against stall, because of its superb trading ability thanks to the bulk investment. How will you build around the king of the ocean? Deadline is Thursday 6th August.

Love Wins
This team gets its name from the core I used to make the team, that being Gothitelle, Arceus-Rock, and Yveltal, or GAY for short.
This team- Hold on, I have to take this.
Hello? Yeah, Gothitelle traps Pokemon like Zygarde, Ultra Necrozma, and Ho-Oh. What does it contribute to this team? Well uh...
Flyspam Wins
This team is actually the one I brought to the Pentathalon. How did the titular Kyogre perform there? well uh...
I was told Arceus-Rock is a Pokemon people don't prepare for, and apparently that's correct. As a blanket check to a bunch of difficult things, its pretty useful, and frees up the rest of the team. Yveltal is a revenge killer and panic button for webs, Ho-Oh is a standard defogger, and mmence is for general offense with some solid fat. Kyogre is here because it can switch into other Kyogres, answers Meteor Beam Eternatus, and can handle Groudon, along with other things. Generally, I think it's quite underrated, as it answers a whole bunch of headaches.
