Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Sup Blunder! Check out this heat team I built for Nat Dex OU featuring NP Banette-Mega! I've been having so much fun playing it and it is actually pretty solid!! Hope you give it a try! Brazil loves you! :) https://pokepast.es/4ee72a4a7438a742
Ghost Serp Webs. I have been liking Ghost on Serp because it's great into either one of Corvi Or Slowking G. I was trying it out on a Para spam team but ended up liking it so much that made a real team with it. You are walled by Gambit but team has 4 guys that beat Gambit so it doesn't come up much.
Wassup Blunder,
You might remember me from making that trick room cb araquanid team you used in a vid. I got a couple unique teams that I'm using to ladder right now that you might find interesting (currently at 1960 so high ladder tested + top 25)
First one is a snow team that I think matches up great into the current state of OU and feels really strong into just about anything short of hard stall. The general game plan is to use belly drum cetitan and specs kyu to punch a big enough hole for zama to clean up. Here's the paste: https://pokepast.es/68ef39b163f4d0e8
And here's a replay or two
One of them is a cetitan sweep in the 1900s bc it matches up so well into common teams https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2382954309-wnol14489xecy98350hgi4uyygve4o9pw https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2382294938-wvhkyn4ng46srn7o2vjkq337fsgg2pspw
The other team I have is a really unique trick room team with diancie and arboliva as the main offensive engines. This team is a little more inconsistent, but I still have found high ladder success when using it alternating with the hail team. Here's the paste: https://pokepast.es/a082ba65eb9d077d
It's got a couple iffy matchups, like it is pretty kyurem weak but that's why bronzong is there. Matches up best into balance teams and can struggle with HO. Diancie though is a really potent sweeper somehow. Anyways here's a couple replays.
Bronzong destroying stall: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/...I_z1xIWj4dm4pn7g4G_aem_jxDIugutrhCzOSvDs_kghQ
And bronzong cleaning up under trick room even after I played horrible.
This was the cheapest team of all time. Had 4 paralysis guys, Grassy Terrain Rilla and Sub Protect DD Kyurem. You guys should try it out. I feel would make for a hilarious live.
Now, it's Kyurem's turn for DropaDraco. I ran Boots because with Blizzard and Tera Ice, you don't even need Specs and boots gives you so many opportunities to fire off attacks, not to mention his great bulk stays intact especially off the Snow boost. I run the Blim core but change up the sets to make it more active. Boots Zama is there for Future Signt abuse and Speed control.
Hydreigon this time for DropaDraco! I have been shilling this Eject Pack Rocks set since the BL Knights but you guys always end up using the Sub Nasty Plot. It's about time you try this. In this heavy BO metagame this much more proactive set definitely has merit.
My main floats around 1800s so I think I'm a decent player but I'm an ass builder generally. This is the first try of this team and I think a better player could prob consistently chill in 1800s with it.
This time I got the Dracomenace himself, Salamence in celebration of Drop a Draco. Now, this guy is on nobody's radar but he ha some good things over Dnite. intimidate is really nice, esp into Oger. He outspeeds Tusk, Lando T etc.
I run a Draco EQ Fire Blast set. This set is only really walled by Clef. It punishes Slowking G structures because uninvested EQ does a clean 55%. Val and Enam are 2HKOed by Fire Blast. Even Mola and Glis are heavily pressured because Draco is too strong. I really like this set because it is surprisingly effective.

tier shift hail team, got top 100 on ts ladder with it (which tbh isnt impressive)
basically the strat is to use avalugg/glastrier to blanket check stuff and sweep with minior the second they misplay (shields down can't be statused and theres sooo much status in this tier)
I got a Specs Mewtwo team, Mewtwo Chads. Now, I ran two new techs on this Mewtwo, first is Modest nature as there is no mon in between 394 and 359 and Arceus almost never runs max speed. This gives Mewtwo destructive power. Second is Tera Fire in Sun with Fire Blast to give Mewtwo secondary Stab. Psystrike is difficult to click sometimes so this is nice to have. Mewtwo is stupidly powerful, OHKOs Groudon in Sun with raw Fire Blast. OHKOes Blisseys with Psy Strike. OHKOs Ho-oh with Power Gem. Fire Blast is so strong in fact with Sun and Tera Fire that it does 70% to Lu and 45% to Ho-oh of all mons.
This time I got another balance ft Hoopa U scarfed edition. The thing is that he outspeeds all offensive guys and Tera Dark Hyperspace is impossible to switch into. But the fun part is that it goes through protect and isn't contact so it even 2HKOes Glis, Corvi, Moltres etc. Mola needs to be chipped. With Trick it can cripple fat and go back to a mixed wallbreaker role. I run Psychic because the range vs Tusk, Zama and Enam is too food but you can try Psynoise if you want to it to double up as Stallbreaker as well.

Cetitan Goobage, using Sheer Force + Life Orb for big damage instead of standard BD Cheese. Supported w/ Double Hazard Removal so as to get more opportunities to do big damage. Serp is the MVP since it is OP at spreading Paralysis (which Cetitan likes to give it more oppurtunities to get the big hits off). Garg is still broken and Is it easier to win.
Team is kinda weak to Gweezing, Regen Cores, and Iron Moth. Peaked around 1750 w/ it.
A team ft Specs Download PZ Band Oger core. The idea is that Specs download PZ is a monster. It 2HKOes SpDef Garg with Ice Beam for instance. After PZ breaks, it's mad easy for Oger to clean up with its Tera Speed Boost. The best low tier that absolutely destroys in OU. In general PZ is incredibly good. I would go as far to say Adaptability is just wrong way to use him.
My first team I ever made for competetive pokemon that got me into all of this lol. It's really good, has some fun options and I feel it has answers to everything. I wanted to make it work for the pokemon I thought were cool like Ceruledge, Cyclizar, and originally Palafin, but I had to switch it out for Quaqaval lol. Ceruledge is so sheist omg I love my Iittle Ceruledge guy so much https://pokepast.es/e906e08477a840cf
