Welcome to the BW OU cores thread! This thread is a place to post cores that you have found to be effective in the Generation 5 OU Metagame and get feedback. It is also a place for new and experienced players alike to find cores to use in teambuilding. It's important to remember that a core is a group of 2-3 pokemon that work extremely well together in performing a specific task that will help in winning battles. Offensive cores are either capable of beating a large portion of the meta and most play-styles together, or taking out the checks to their partners so they can sweep more easily. Effective defensive cores will resist a large amount of common offensive attacks and check or counter large portions of the metagame such that it will greatly improve the longevity of a team.OP adapted from the CAP GC/RU GC and old BW GC thread

Rules to follow when posting a core:
- Always include an importable separate from the explanation for other people to use
- Include a short description of the core to make it easier to understand for someone who doesn't know how your core functions.
- Please be respectful of the cores people post in this thread. If someone posts a core that you think is ineffective or just plain bad, there is no need to jump at their throats. With that said, constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged, simply be nice!
- Please do not post a core that has more than 3 Pokemon. Cores bigger than this restrict building immensely.

All these cores are just the pokemon without any specific set, so several variants of the same core can come out as long as it has different sets. You can also post other cores that are not specified in the spoiler. With all that said, cores of any kind with sufficient reasoning will be added to the archive below.
Happy posting
