This team focus on allowing the wincons to break opposing teams once Sticky Webs is up, while avoiding Vullaby Defogging away the hazard. Surskit provides further support with Icy Wind to slow Vullaby down while Pawniard sets Stealth Rock and deters Defog. The rest boils down to break with the other 4 abusers.

Relatively standard Fight/Vull/Onix/Pawniard/Fightcheck composition. Vullaby and Pawniard acts as the Gastly+Abra check, with Timburr Mach Punch in the back. Vullaby spread guarantees that it lives Abra Dgleam with Rocks, or LO Dgleam with no Rocks up, same rolls from Gastly Dgleams and can live LO Gastly Tbolt from full Hp. Overcoat is used to easen the Foongus matchup, which isn’t really that bad with this team but Spore is annoying. Weak Armor is a viable option over Overcoat for those who prefers that tho. Pawniard is Adamant for generally better rolls, especially on Gastly where Pursuit is a 100% OHKO no matter. Onix + Pawniard can both act as flying counters, and Timburr has 25/15 hp/defense to tank Brave Birds from Max Attack Vullaby, Doduo and Pikipek. Mareanie can hardcounter any fighting type not name Croagunk, which needs to be dealt with by using Vullaby, Onix and Abra in emergency cases, Iron Defense Mareanie isn’t as scared of Diglett as other Mareanie sets, and can act as a win condition if removing the opposing team’s Special attackers is relatively easy. Abra acts as the late-game cleaner of the team, as well as an emergency wallbreaker or Set-up check with Sash intact, relatively standard set.

This team is a very basic hyper offense build to use. Shellder, Fletchling, and Porygon are three of the most threatening set-up sweepers in the metagame, and while it may seem like a bit much to use three, each has its own unique attributes to warrant their use. Shellder and Porygon both have solid natural bulk that allows them to set up and attack, with the former having Skill Link to deal incredible damage due to the nature of LC's damage rolls, while the latter has access to Download which gives it the potential to obtain a +1 SpA boost. Fletchling utilizes Gale Wings to punish the tier with a priority boosted Acrobatics. Diglett provides the team with trapping support, allowing it to remove weakened defensive Pokemon such as Chinchou, Ferroseed, and Snubbull which makes it easier for one of the three sweepers to end the game. Pawniard is used for SR and Knock Off support, and Croagunk is the team's sole fighting resist. You're not going to want to switch around a lot except for trapping predictions with Diglett and to take a Drain Punch or two with Croagunk, as the goal of the team is to overwhelm and exhaust your opponent out of options.

Iron Fist Timburr is fairly anti-meta, though Gothita is a major pain. It simply dishes out adequate damage versus most things, and will be useful in as far as you don't get trapped. Download Porygon should always get 1 KO, and potentially can every time it comes in. Scarf Pawniard is standard as hell, but works as an important glue for removing the uncommon Gastly for everything and checking a lot of annoying things. Gastly serves as an offensive Fighting check, hence Psychic. You catch a lot of the offensive backbones of teams off guard with these 4 Pokemon, though Staryu is notably annoying. Speed control is an issue generally, but Cottonee, Timburr, and Scarf Pawniard tend to keep this issue at bay. Porygon is fat enough to check most of the tier innate anyway.

another simple ho team, this time for xy. i built this with vubon, and aim used it in one of his late-xy road to top 10 videos, which led to it taking over the bottom of the ladder for a month or so. this team only has two (maybe three, depending on how you count timburr) dedicated wincons, and it was built around getting a ziggy sweep. you'll want to focus on eliminating ziggy checks--timb takes out normal resists, pawn kills ghosts and breaks abra's sash, cott checks pesky fighters, etc.

This was a team I helped Finchinator build for one week of LCWC with some slight changes (namely no Eviolite Dwebble set). I've played around with it since then playing against some people to test it and have fun in BW like I always do. Finch ended up bringing a different team with some different moves around but this is the squad I built around his idea of Dwebble + Carvanha. Basically play it like any HO and you set up hazards, trying to set up 2 layers of sr + spikes, and you just simply start sweeping from there with everything you have, breaking their team with threats like NP Misdreavus or Timburr or Drifloon. Magnemite is there to take care of Ferroseed and Bronzor, both of which are something that Carvanha / Drifloon don't want to fight to at least weaken them. You could run Hidden Power Fighting I guess on Magnemite but I think it's pointless because you wall Brick Break-less Pawniard anyway and have HP Fight Missy + Timburr. The Drifloon set is always my favorite, if you really wanted you could run Hypnosis over Dbond or Shadow Ball to abuse broken BW Sleep mechanics. Anyway, there's no Hyper Offense teams in the sample teams and no Carvanha teams, so maybe add this and have fun with it

After a humiliating defeat by TUO, i figured it was time for me to get serious, since the battles only got tougher from then on out. I also didn't feel like building to be honest, so I just made some generic Snow team that had solid matchups against a lot of things. Not too much to explain here, just a bunch of threats and a Munchlax to catch Abra + Misdreavus. Toxic Misdreavus lures in Vullaby and Porygon and lets me 1v1 them.

I didn't get to use this but it is a nasty team that wins more than it loses from what I've found. Dwebble/Missy/Tentacool is a hazard core designed to get up hazards and keep them. Snover is an answer to sand and because sometimes it is beneficial to actually have the hail up. Munchlax is a phazer set that is from the very early stage of BW and can get really unkillable if you don't face Taunt. Riolu is the main star of the team with Prankster Copycat Roar which just beats a lot of teams that don't care fake out or >16 speed priority.

The goal of this team is to eventually finish the game with Drifloon while weakening and luring checks to it beforehand and giving it opportunities to shine. Lead Scarf Gligar is the speed of the team and allows you U-Turn right off the bat to whatever you see fit. Duskull and Munchlax are the defensive backbone of the team, giving you answers to some of the most threatening Mons in the tier, such as Gastly, Houndour, Gligar, and Munchlax. Oran Berry Houndour allows you to consistently Pursuit trap opposing Duskull, which is vital as Shadow Sneak could be a problem for Drifloon. Beyond that it also is the team's Snover check and Will-o-Wisp allows you to cripple opposing Munchlax, which is a nice bonus as a burned Munchlax gives Drifloon a free opportunity to get up a few Calm Minds. Chinchou gives you a way to deal with some of the Mons that Duskull and Munchlax struggle with, such as Elekid, Magnemite, and Staryu, while also being a secondary sweeper. The real magic behind the set is that Hidden Power Fire allows Chinchou to lure Snover out and OHKO it, which is absolutely necessary to do before you start setting up with Drifloon as Ice Shard will cause serious problems. Lastly, Drifloon is how you will be ending games the majority of the time. Oran Berry allows Drifloon to take a hit while setting up, getting back much of it's HP, and then doubling it's speed thanks to Unburden. Sometimes setting up won't even be necessary and you will only need to Substitute yourself into Unburden before sweeping the other team.

The team is fairly simple and should be pretty easy to pick up. The team doesn't struggle versus too much, the only major weakness of the team noticed so far are Swords Dance / Agility Gligar with Night Slash (which can be dealt with by keeping Gligar alive / Munchlax healthy respectively).

This is a somewhat updated version of that old iss team, with a bit more bulk and updated moved to better survive the modern DPP meta. Aggressive plays are required to pilot the team correctly, as ideally your will more or less win once you click Agility and are therefore always trying to get the opportunity to. Essentially, the team aims to overwhelm opposing offense as quickly as possible. Stacking special attackers allows for you to overcome relevant checks, though sometimes you need to get a turn correct in order to beat your checks. Stunky is more or less the go to Gastly and Drifloon answer, though Gligar is able to revenge them fairly well. Staryu is a decent check to both too, but is more importantly a breaker for the two Agility sweepers. Porygon is a little weak overall, but is bulky enough to check pretty much everything relevant with some competence. If you're concerned about the rain matchup, run Thunderbolt over Ice Beam on Porygon, or just play better than them.

Slurmz's team aims primarily to aggressively overwhelm the opponent at every turn in the match. With Endure Houndour in the lead slot, slurmz's team starts off with maximum firepower as its method of preventing lead slot hazard setters. Trapinch compliments the anti-lead of choice by counter trapping Diglett while also being a general catchall for Elekid. The removal of both of these monsters from the match benefits the team immensely, as it allows Choice Band Doduo to outpace a majority of the opposing team and consistently fire off its powerful attacks. However Band Doduo does suffer from the inability to prevent setup, consequently making Shellder a prime choice for the team. With the ability to live the attacks of Bagon and Larvitar even at +2, Shellder is a full stop to these otherwise problem Pokemon. Similarly the last two Pokemon function to sweep teams once the faster Pokemon have been removed, with Anorith boosting its attacks to astronomical levels after just one Swords Dance, and Elekid who uses its Peetya Berry and Substitute to abuse anything slower than it.

Voltorb is chosen as the lead for the team specifically to start the match off by forcing opposing players on the back foot from turn one. Between Taunt to deadstop spikers, a moderately powerful Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave for opposing anti-leads, and Explosion to all but guarantee a KO, Voltorb opens up holes early. This is capitalized on with Doduo and Diglett; Doduo itself is all but impossible to switch into without outplaying, forcing bulky Pokemon in and taking them down to minimal health. Diglett handles the quicker Pokemon which can be used to revenge kill Doduo after a sack, and appreciates Voltorb's ability to explode on Trapinch and other Digletts. With Salac and Endure, Diglett presents itself as a general glue Pokemon capable of revenge killing the ever menacing Abra and Dragon Dancers of the tier. Similarly, Shellder provides the team with a powerful yet bulky defensive Pokemon. Able to spin away hazards and explode on any sweeper, Shellder is incredibly irksome for any team and generally capable of picking up a KO. The last two slots are dedicated to sun sweepers, which brutalize the tier after Doduo, Voltorb, and Diglett soften up the few things that absorb their Solarbeams. With Sleep Powders and Explosions in their arsenal, most teams fail to have reliable answers to the duo of Eggy and Oddish.

Abra is the chosen lead because of it's versatility and unpredictably, while this particular set is designed to defeat other counterleads, such as Diglett and Doduo. Abra can Endure on threats like Ponyta or Diglett and then outspeed them the next turn with it's Salac Berry. This allows the team to create some pressure with it's wallbreakers in Meowth and Doduo. Meowth generally abuses it's priority in Fake Out, in conjunction with it's 19 speed to break through key threats. Doduo on the other hand, can also function as a secondary wincon, because of it's ability to hit the majority of the tier extremely hard and catch people off guard with it's coverage in Hidden Power Fighting. Doduo also works well with Diglett to remove many of the things that could possibly wall Doduo. In addition to trapping Rock-types like Onix or Anorith, Diglett allows the team to trap key threats like opposing Abra, Chinchou, or Grimer, all of which can give the team some small issues. Koffing is used as a switch-in to a number of different things, and can easily spread burns. This clears the way for Larvitar, the primary sweeper of the team, who sets up a Dragon Dance with relative ease and proceeds to break through the remaining pokemon on the opposing team.

The idea is kinda simple : trap or lure foongus / croagunk, then hit like a truck with adamant scarf reckless foo, or snivy / sd corphish if needed.
Okeoke traps most of the time foongus with the good predicts, or at least offers a free set-up for either snivy or corphish. Onix set-up the rocks and is the only real answer against vullaby and birdspam in general, so it has to be used carefully. Flyinium-Z Corphish is a great lure against both croagunk and foongus, as a +2 flyinium z aerial ace ohkoes them, making hjk spam easier. Snivy likes also to have foongus and croagunk down, and like corphish, it is used to wallbreak walls such as spritzee, while hp ice helps to deal with both vullaby and foongus. Grimer-A is a general glue, as it traps both ghost (annoying as hell for hjk spam) and sashbra. I play personnally with shadow sneak for an extra priority, but memento has its use as it helps if you want to use corphish or snivy as your wincon.

the team is really offensive and kinda frail, but that's a blast in ladder (started with stg like 25-0) and it also works against really good players from my experience.

Pretty simple Hail HO team that utilizes Blizzard Carvanha as its sweeper. Carvanah is the centerpiece of the team, existing as its wincon and ghost type pressurer. Mienfoo is running a fast defensive set in order to outpace and taunt opposing hazard setters while retaining the upperhand vs Normals/Darks. Snover is the hail setter and sand check of the team, aiding Carv in Blizzard spamming and breaking. Wynaut keeps the team from auto losing to scarf Mienfoo and annoys setup sweepers/fights. Drilbur is the teams SR setter and spinner/mag check. Lastly Scarf Larvesta takes the rear as the teams revenge killer and sleep absorber if Foo is unable to taunt. All in all a pretty simple team to use if you keep momentum up through pivoting and setuping up Carv for the sweep. s/o TCR

Altariel von Sweep · Jul 21, 2018

Good-looking project as always. Anyways, here are some teams I had in my Discord pms for the moment:

SM LC

Flying Spam + Trapinch
The point of the team is easy to get: Trapinch helps the Vullaby + Wingull core removing Flying checks such as Onix, Tirtouga and Magnemite (hence the SpD investment), making those two able to go rampant and break each other's checks. Make sure not to lose Trapinch too soon or all will be for naught.

Hazard Stack
I got inspired to build this team to give a chance to Stealth Rock-less Kabuto, while the core Chespin + Pawniard puts Spikes and Stealth Rock, which Scarf Foo, NP Vulla and CM Spritzee take advantage of by easing some important KOs.

Wynaut team
Scarf Scraggy gets benefitted by Wynaut trapping stuff such as Timburr locked in Mach Punch, and special attackers. Mienfoo helps Wynaut to enter the field safely against the threat it wants to trap. Seems complex, but the point is easy to get, trap things for Scraggy to let it do a snowball sweep.

DPP LC - Drifloon Bulky Offense

The goal of this team is to eventually finish the game with Drifloon while weakening and luring checks to it beforehand and giving it opportunities to shine. Lead Scarf Gligar is the speed of the team and allows you U-Turn right off the bat to whatever you see fit. Duskull and Munchlax are the defensive backbone of the team, giving you answers to some of the most threatening Mons in the tier, such as Gastly, Houndour, Gligar, and Munchlax. Oran Berry Houndour allows you to consistently Pursuit trap opposing Duskull, which is vital as Shadow Sneak could be a problem for Drifloon. Beyond that it also is the team's Snover check and Will-o-Wisp allows you to cripple opposing Munchlax, which is a nice bonus as a burned Munchlax gives Drifloon a free opportunity to get up a few Calm Minds. Chinchou gives you a way to deal with some of the Mons that Duskull and Munchlax struggle with, such as Elekid, Magnemite, and Staryu, while also being a secondary sweeper. The real magic behind the set is that Hidden Power Fire allows Chinchou to lure Snover out and OHKO it, which is absolutely necessary to do before you start setting up with Drifloon as Ice Shard will cause serious problems. Lastly, Drifloon is how you will be ending games the majority of the time. Oran Berry allows Drifloon to take a hit while setting up, getting back much of it's HP, and then doubling it's speed thanks to Unburden. Sometimes setting up won't even be necessary and you will only need to Substitute yourself into Unburden before sweeping the other team.

The team is fairly simple and should be pretty easy to pick up. The team doesn't struggle versus too much, the only major weakness of the team noticed so far are Swords Dance / Agility Gligar with Night Slash (which can be dealt with by keeping Gligar alive / Munchlax healthy respectively).

Also, the team is actually a slightly edited version of what was used by Passion vs. Eseque for Week 3 of this LCPL, so it has proved effective in "high level" matches.

Wingull Fighting Spam

This team was built around the duo of Mienfoo and Timburr as a fighting type spam combo. Each of these fighting types weaken common checks and counters for the other. Mienfoo is running a choice scarf set with reckless high jump kick to either wallbreak teams early for Timburr or sweep after Timburr hits opposing counters with a knock off and weakens them. U-turn on Mienfoo is also a great move to gain momentum and knock off can remove eviolites from counters for later in the game. The EV spread on Mienfoo allows it to hit 17 speed and have the rest put into attack. Finally, the extra defense on Mienfoo is to help defend against weak prioritiy moves from revenge killing Mienfoo. Timburr is running drain punch as a STAB move, mach punch for priority, knock off to remove eviolites, and finally thunder punch to deal with Mareanie who is somewhat troublesome for the team without it. The EV spread on Timburr allows for Timburr to deal the most damage it can while still having great bulk by hitting eviolite numbers. The next Pokemon I added was Grimer-Alola. Grimer traps ghost types that would otherwise stop Mienfoo from locking into high jump kick and also traps focus sash Abra. The EV spread lets Grimer hit max attack to pressure Pokemon that switch into Grimer and other Pokemon like Foongus while also allowing Grimer to hit eviolite numbers and live hits from common special attackers while still having respectable physical bulk to allow it to almost always live an attack from a +2 Shellder.

Next, I added in the defensive core of Foongus + Onix to the team. Foongus is meant to blanket check a lot of threats including fairy types, opposing fighting types, and opposing Foongus while Onix is there to set stealth rocks and act as a counter to most flying types. Foongus is running synthesis as its last move to better deal with opposing Foongus in a 1v1 senario. The EV spread on Foongus allows it to hit eviolite numbers and act as a successful counter to the Pokemon I had previously mentioned. Onix is running the eviolite weak armor set to have an easier time dealing with Doduo and Vullaby. Finally, taunt is used to stop Shellder from setting up on Onix as Shellder is a big threat to this team. The main way to deal with shellder is to get Onix in on a rock blast from Shellder and get the weak armor speed boosts. Finally, the last Pokemon I added to the team was Wingull. Wingull was added to allow for more offensive pressure, take the weight off of Foongus as the sole fighting type check, and to have a solid hazard remover. Protect on Wingull serves two purposes. The first being the block Mienfoo's fake out from causing chip damage that could add up later and the second being to be able to see what moves choice scarfed Pokemon lock themselves into. An example of this would be when a scarf Magnemite switches into Wingull. Instead of being forced to predict if the Magnemite will volt switch and if you should go Onix, you can instead hit protect and see what move your opponent clicks. The EV spread on Wingull allows it to hit 19 speed and have the rest of the EVs going into special attack. The remaining 36 EVs in defense allow Wingull to take less damage from weak priority moves.

Scarf Donkey + Water Spam

This was supposed to be my LCPL Week 6 vs pinktidal, but I did not feel comfortable enough to use at the time. Fly-Z Wingull and Analytic Staryu combined have pretty devastating breaking ability. Wingull has standard scald/hurricane coverage while providing hazard removal and protect to scout scarfers such as Magnemite and Pawniard. With even a small amount of prediction, Staryu can break through typical switch-ins like Foongus and Ferro.

Scarf Mudbray boasts a crazy 20atk and even has a 93.8% chance to 2HKO Foongus after rocks with STAB EQ. It is a great rocks bluffer and. It is also a hard hitting late game sweeper once defensive mons have been knocked and/or weakened.

Foo/Foon/Pawn make up the defensive and utility core of this team. Foo and Pawn provide excellent knock support while Foon prevents the team from getting swept by Scarf Snivy.

This is a team that I have been playing with for more than a year now. It has gone through a few tweaks with time, but the main elements remain the same: this is a hyper-offense team. The goal of this team is to put as much offensive pressure as possible on the opponent, with the use of very fast Pokemons and a lot of coverage options. I have had quite a lot of success with this team, reaching #1 on ladder (no proof sorry but here's when I was #2). Here's a summary of how the team works:

Wimpod is the Pokemon that is the most special in this team, and it fits it almost perfectly. First, Wimpod should almost always be used as a lead. It sets up Spikes, which is the only entry hazard on this team. Furthermore, its 18 Speed Taunt allows it to prevent the opponent from setting up hazards, especially Sticky Web (bar scarf Surskit), which is crucial since this team has no hazard removal. Its unique ability in Wimp Out allows it to pivot out right after setting up Spikes, essentially giving a free switch, which is extremely precious with this team. Most of the time, Wimpod will grant two free switches, since it can come back at 1 HP on an attack. The free switches is exactly what this team needs to keep the momentum on its side. As an added niche, Wimp Out also cancels opponents' U-Turns and Volt Switches. Therefore, if a Scarf Magnemite or Chinchou outspeeds Wimpod and uses Volt Switch, Wimpod can be immediately switched out to Diglett who then has an easy kill due to the opposing Pokemon being locked into Volt Switch.
Elekid is a wonderful offensive Pokemon, with the best speed in the tier and excellent coverage options. It can hit a good chunk of the tier for super-effective damage. I choose not to run Thunderbolt to squeeze in both Hidden Power Grass and Cross Chop. The extra power is sometimes needed, but for a team that can't really switch, it's even more important to have the extra coverage. Elekid is also a good switch-in to Foongus' Spore, thanks to its ability Vital Spirit, and can 2HKO Foongus with Psychic.
Life Orb Abra is the premium wallbreaker on this set, taking full advantage of the many free switches provided by Wimpod, slow U-Turns and dying teammates to nuke anything in its way. Hidden Power Fire is used over other coverage options in order to gain as much coverage as possible: it OHKOes Ferroseed after Spikes, which is extremely important. It also OHKOes Magnemite (or takes it down to Sturdy) and nails Scarf Pawniard on the switch or from behind a Substitute. I also run HP Fire because although it doesn't OHKO Pawniard, LO Abra has Substitute to have a good chance at beating Pawniard anyway.
Gastly follows Abra closely, and acts as a safety net to popular set-up sweepers such as Clamperl, Shellder, Tirtouga or Scraggy. Gastly and Abra are very good at weakening their mutual checks. Gastly is also a HJK spam deterrent and checks many Choice Scarf Pokemon that would otherwise be troublesome, such as Mienfoo, Pikipek and Magnemite. Not running a Hidden Power also allows Gastly to almost always survive non-Life Orb Diglett's Sucker Punch.
Diglett on this team has excellent synergy with Abra and Gastly, since it can trap and KO most of the checks that Abra or Gastly lures in, to facilitate a sweep from the other. Those checks notably include Grimer-Alola and Pawniard (Diglett beats Eviolite variants with Substitute, and also barely survives a Knock Off from Scarf variants). Diglett can also use its Z-move to pick off important threats like weakened Mienfoo, Scarf Mienfoo locked into Knock Off, and Ponyta. It is also a Volt Switch spam deterrent.
Finally, Mienfoo is a little glue that allows the team to withstand some attacks. It is the only Knock Off user in the team, which helps a lot in defeating bulky Pokemon like Spritzee, Munchlax, Mienfoo, or Timburr. The used build is a slow variant, so that it can tank a hit for its teammates and then slow U-Turn to give a free switch to its more powerful teammates. A spread of 76 HP / 196 Def / 196 SpD with an Impish nature is used so that it can almost always survive a Brave Bird from max attack Vullaby after Stealth Rock. This team is incredibly weak to Vullaby after it gets a Weak Armor boost, so Mienfoo must be used with care when the opponent has Vullaby in their team. Double switches should be very often considered when the opponent might switch in Vullaby on Mienfoo. The extra defense investment allows Mienfoo to not be scared of a Vullaby switch-in when using Knock Off at full health. Feint is used over Fake Out to provide more flexible priority, especially in this meta when many Pokemon run Protect to counter Fake Out.

As a general strategy with this team, just like other Hyper-Offensive teams, sacrificing a Pokemon for momentum is very often the best play, so one must not be reluctant to do so. Also, predictions are extremely important to gain momentum, whether it is to use a coverage move to nuke a switch-in, or double-switching while predicting a switch. This is very important, since this team will force many switches with its offensive pressure. This team might be hard to pilot at first, but with experience, it will become much easier, and I hope that you will get as much success as I did with this team!

Finally, here are some replays , to give an idea of how the team flows:

(12/09/2019) Edit: One year later, my experience with this team is that it still performs well on ladder. It has notably benefited a lot from the ban of Trapinch. The only change I have made to the team is to replace Cross Chop with Thunderbolt on Elekid, since Munchlax has become much less used than before. Thunderbolt allows Elekid to hit harder on many Electric-neutral Pokemon, and also allows Elekid to have an extra point in Defense, since it can now use a Timid nature. The rest of the team remains the same.

Double Scarf Fight-Spam with EvioDig

https://pokepast.es/e21ea54cbdff9624

This Fightspam is made to punish the Abra/Gastly Teams that doesn’t run any additional fighting check as well as the lack of Foongus/Mareanie/Spritzee teams compared to earlier metas. Mienfoo is reckless for easy cleaning and wallbreaking, Brick Break in case of random veils teams. Timburr is 25 hp / 15 defense to have a better matchup against other fighting types since this team lacks a good fighting counter, as well as tanking Brave Birds from Adamant Vullaby 100% of the time. Eviolite Diglett can safely live a Flash Cannon from Magnemite if necessary, but is mainly there to hard in on Abra / Gastly to tank a hit and Beat Up / Pursuit. Final Gambit can be used to chip down threatening fighting types if up against Fightspam. Adamant Z Ground Onix can Earthquake into Z to kill incoming Mienfoos trying to check it, and has the kill unless 24 hp 15 defense in which case Foo has a chance to live. Alternatively, Earthquake into Z means Trapinch can’t hard in and trap it, keeping your Ponyta check safe + getting rid of Trapinch for Pawniard in matchups where such is required. Pawniard is a good secondary scarfer to trap Abra / Gastly, as well as providing a secondary soft check to flying types and some emergency priority. Finally Vullaby rounds of the team as a solid soft check to half the meta, as well as providing Defog utility vs Spikestack or Webs and acting as a good check to fighting types, Overcoat is used because fuck Foongus.

- If possible, bait out Trapinch early on with Onix to EQ into Z. Pawniard should mainly be used to trap Gastly, while Diglett should be used for Abra (Can hard in, so going from Timburr or Mienfoo hard into either is not a big problem).

- Keep Onix alive, should be able to deal with both if Trapinch is caught on switch-in, Alternatively bait in Trapinch with Pawniard to chip it enough for Onix to kill. Standard Ponyta Z variants dies to Mienfoo HJK if needed, alternatively Z Sunny Day can be troublesome but Timburr can tank a sun-boosted Fire Blast from full and retalite with Drain + Mach. Diglett just dies if hit but if you can get it in for free then ofc that deals with Pony as well.

- Try to bait in Vullaby with Timburr. As mentioned, Timmy tanks a Brave Bird so Drain Punching twice on a switch-in will leave Timburr relatively healthy and Bjuice Vullaby dead, Scarf / Z dies to Drain into Mach. That leaves only a Doduo for Onix/Pawniard to deal with.

- Get Foo and Foongus knocked earlier to make the easier to deal with. Vullaby can hard in on Foongus due to Overcoat, Timburr can hard in on Onix, Onix can hard in on most Vullabys (Hp grass lures to exist tho but this team has Pawn too and Reckless Foo) and while Mienfoo is more troublesome, Most variants dies to reckless HJK after rocks or can be played around with Onix Z / Timburr Drain Punches / Vullaby Brave Birds.

- If Onix is not important then it can be sacced for Diglett to trap Staryu. Vullaby Outspeeds Corp and any chip leaves it in Foo HJK Range, alternatively Timburr can double drain from full to kill Corphish if not LO. Generally have to keep the offensive pressure up vs these two.

- Same as with the Staryu / Corp Water-Spam, but Timburr must be kept above 20% to check Carv late-game (LO Ajet does 20%, 32 on a single max roll).

- Pawniard is generally the safest lead, from there Defogging with Vullaby shouldn't be difficult. Don't worry about opposing Pawniards, Timburr Mach Punch OHKOs.

- Mienfoo lead is always the safest, as it's not something anything really sets up on bar Eviolite WA Vulla or people playing their Bjuice Vulla in a risky way. Timburr can deal with most smashers, and Sucker Punch from Pawn helps out a lot if up vs several smashers. Vullaby should be played around carefully if Nasty Plot, going hard into Onix and Rock Blasting is generally the best play, Timburr in the back in case of low Rock Blast roll vs Berry Juice is adviced. Remember that both Brick Break and Defog can get rid of Veils if necessary.

- If Mienfoo is paired with either a Mudbray or Rufflet, it is likely to be Z-Me First. Reckless HJK OHKOs, so leading Foo is generally the best idea. Alternatively, if Z Foo comes in on a Pawniard Knock Off, hard into Something other fast to force it to z me first to gain speed without using any move, as that makes it easier to deal with afterwards. Diglett can Final Gambit on a potential z me first to chip Mienfoo enough (Kill after Knock Chip), bringing it down enough for Timburr to revenge.

- After a Knock Off, Spritzee is 2hkod by Onix and Vullaby + Pawnird Iron Head is always threatening, otherwise tough mon to beat. Generally wann knock it on switch-in then hard into Onix. Letting Vullaby get chipped down by Brave Birding into Wish+Protect is unnecessary, better to catch Sprit on Switch-in a second time. Snubbull is a bit more difficult, but as long as you don't knock it, getting it down into EQ range from Diglett / Z EQ range from Onix is relatively easy. Diglett can tank a Play Rough and EQ generally does 52-56%.

This was a team I helped Finchinator build for one week of LCWC with some slight changes (namely no Eviolite Dwebble set). I've played around with it since then playing against some people to test it and have fun in BW like I always do. Finch ended up bringing a different team with some different moves around but this is the squad I built around his idea of Dwebble + Carvanha. Basically play it like any HO and you set up hazards, trying to set up 2 layers of sr + spikes, and you just simply start sweeping from there with everything you have, breaking their team with threats like NP Misdreavus or Timburr or Drifloon. Magnemite is there to take care of Ferroseed and Bronzor, both of which are something that Carvanha / Drifloon don't want to fight to at least weaken them. You could run Hidden Power Fighting I guess on Magnemite but I think it's pointless because you wall Brick Break-less Pawniard anyway and have HP Fight Missy + Timburr. The Drifloon set is always my favorite, if you really wanted you could run Hypnosis over Dbond or Shadow Ball to abuse broken BW Sleep mechanics. Anyway, there's no Hyper Offense teams in the sample teams and no Carvanha teams, so maybe add this and have fun with it

This is a somewhat updated version of that old iss team, with a bit more bulk and updated moved to better survive the modern DPP meta. Aggressive plays are required to pilot the team correctly, as ideally your will more or less win once you click Agility and are therefore always trying to get the opportunity to. Essentially, the team aims to overwhelm opposing offense as quickly as possible. Stacking special attackers allows for you to overcome relevant checks, though sometimes you need to get a turn correct in order to beat your checks. Stunky is more or less the go to Gastly and Drifloon answer, though Gligar is able to revenge them fairly well. Staryu is a decent check to both too, but is more importantly a breaker for the two Agility sweepers. Porygon is a little weak overall, but is bulky enough to check pretty much everything relevant with some competence. If you're concerned about the rain matchup, run Thunderbolt over Ice Beam on Porygon, or just play better than them.

Iron Fist Timburr is fairly anti-meta, though Gothita is a major pain. It simply dishes out adequate damage versus most things, and will be useful in as far as you don't get trapped. Download Porygon should always get 1 KO, and potentially can every time it comes in. Scarf Pawniard is standard as hell, but works as an important glue for removing the uncommon Gastly for everything and checking a lot of annoying things. Gastly serves as an offensive Fighting check, hence Psychic. You catch a lot of the offensive backbones of teams off guard with these 4 Pokemon, though Staryu is notably annoying. Speed control is an issue generally, but Cottonee, Timburr, and Scarf Pawniard tend to keep this issue at bay. Porygon is fat enough to check most of the tier innate anyway.

The purpose of this team is to make sweeping with LO Carvanha much easier after +1 Speed-Boost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sweeping with Carvanha is a pretty basic concept. Protect is there to guarantee the +1 Speed making it outspeed the likes of Abra, Magnemite and Mienfoo and should be able to OHKO or Flinchhax them after enough chip and hazard damage. That's what Ferroseed and Tentacool are for, being switch ins to mons like Foongus and Magnemite who would destroy Carvanha otherwise. Ferroseed completely walls Foongus and is immune to spore making it a perfect switch in to it as well for any fairies that don't like Carvanha while getting up hazards to chip away at the rest of the team, making sweeping a breeze; the same could be said for T-spike Tentacool except that it's susceptible to spore but it's ability could be of use as a drain switch in for foongus (although it's high risk). Magnemite can be baited out by Carvanha and switched in on by Diglett which traps it while Snubbull protects Diglett and Carvanha from Mienfoo as a hard counter.

Here's a few replays of it in action to give you a general idea
