Short post with my favorite 3 teams that I built during the generation (click sprites for importables): 1) :SS/tapu-fini: :ss/ferrothorn: :ss/volcarona: :ss/weavile: :ss/zapdos: :ss/hippowdon: Completely outdated and from the Kyurem era, this was a fun team built around a FWG core, with...

:SS/Avalugg: CHECK Avalugg @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Icicle Spear / Avalanche - Body Press - Rapid Spin - Recover Sturdy Avalugg is one of the best checks to SD Crawdaunt on stall, as the combination of sturdy + body press allows...

Nice thread, gonna drop by with some random teams I've been using to varying success; all are tested to some degree, though some are obviously better than others (I wont post any that I have posted elsewhere already): :charizard-mega-x: :kartana: :nidoking: :jirachi: :tapu-fini...

Cool thread Charm! I'll post a couple of cores I find to be reliable: Balance Core 1: :tapu fini: + :tornadus-therian: + :jirachi: This core is pretty solid for balance teams that tend to lean into offense but still needs a solid defensive backbone. It carries double defog and so works well...
