Metagame Metagame Discussion

Hey LC
I want to help players teambuild. So many of them don't know where to start. It all starts with an idea.
So I've been thinking about ideas for engines recently and one of my favorite engines of offense is this.
:sv/vullaby::sv/chinchou: A+ tier
Vullaby is a powerful breaker, so much so that it almost necessitates a Vullaby check on every team. These tend to be Mudbray, Tinkatink, Glimmet. Chinchou happens to matchup well into all of these and therefore a proactive U Turn from Vullaby can lead to a Chinchou entry. From there you can spread damage or Volt Switch to complete the VoltTurn core.

This core is weak to Chinchou itself, so it pairs well with Mienfoo, Foongus, Elekid, Stunky, Diglett-Alola, Grookey, Snover, as a means to check opposing Chinchou.
Below are a few pastes of half built teams for you to use
:vullaby::chinchou::mienfoo: (Fast)
:vullaby::chinchou::mienfoo: (Slow)
:vullaby::chinchou::foongus:
:vullaby::chinchou::elekid:
:vullaby::chinchou::stunky:
:vullaby::chinchou::diglett-alola:
:vullaby::chinchou::grookey: (Eviolite)
:vullaby::chinchou::grookey: (Scarf)
:vullaby::chinchou::snover: (Scarf)
:vullaby::chinchou::snover: (Eviolite)
Lookout for the teamdump in the Bazaar where i build a team with all of these presets!

Serious question what would it take to bring back the team building competition for SV? I thought it was really fun in SS and now that the metagame is starting to settle with all the DLCs being released could be a good time to do it.

It’s been a year and a half. Has the meta game settled to the point where the team building competition can be brought back?
 
I agree with all of these takes, because foongus landing spore without sleep talk/punish is an unacceptable outcome in the builder so every team is built to make foongus bad because that's it's only offensive presence.

I used to think nymble was just the greedy eb pokemon but it's kinda not terrible and threatens some teams

Welcome to the SV Little Cup Teambuilding Competition thread! Each week I will post a new Pokemon, core, set or team archetype, and its up to you to make the best possible team out of it! Every time you post a new team, you will have to provide an explanation of the building process, strength and weaknesses, and the importable of the team itself. The winner of each week will get their team...
