Congratulations to Solaros & Lunaris for winning the voting stage of this week! We will be building in the National Dex Room at 11:59pm GMT +1!
And here is our finished outcome! https://pokepast.es/7605efa9f44c8620
This team is a HO build that works around Moltres and Hawlucha supporting each other having the ability to set up on checks behind screens, and enable each other (such as taunt on Moltres). Overall the team is rather generic in use and doesn't need too much explaining.

Sub toxic Mega medicham
Medicham-Mega @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Toxic
Here's something i submitted next best thing, medi's counterplay are usually very fat psychics and pivoting around it's moves to a faster mon, so sub toxic circumvents those 2 beautifully, with less predicitions needed to dismantle teams due to toxic wearing down it's counters and sub protecting you from a revenge kill by a faster pokemon that pivoted in or the previous mon was sacked to do so. Obviously this thing's not broken, as it sacrifices coverage and a good speed control tool in fake out, and you are still getting walled by mega sab, but the rewards could potentially be worth it.
also no it's not supposed to be as a promotional post for anyone to vote for this on NBT

Gallade
Congratulations to GiyuForPresident for winning this week's voting stage! We will be building around Mega Gallade in the National Dex Room!
I covered for Tyler this week, and we came up with....Mgallade webs? Jokes aside I like how this team came out!
Webs enables dangerous threats like SD Lando, CM Lele, and of course SD Gallade to work past any possible issues with their speed, so it was a natural fit for the team. Not the most radical of teams but should do its job of ending games well. Thanks everyone who helped build the team and see you next week!

Heracross-Mega @ Heracronite

Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Rock Blast / Pin Missile / Bullet Seed / Substitute
- Pin Missile / Rock Blast / Bullet Seed / Substitute
I rarely ever see Mega Heracross and perhaps for a good reason but I feel like it has potential to be an incredible wallbreaker. It has amazing coverage in conjunction with Skill Link like Rock Blast, Pin Missile, and Bullet Seed. Rock Blast being able to handle threats like Zapdos, Gliscor, and Landorus-Therian. Pin Missile can nail common physical walls like Tangrowth, Slowbro, and Lati@s switch-ins. Finally, Bullet Seed checking common Water-types like Tapu Fini and again, Slowbro. The given EV spread can be used alongside Substitute to let Substitute survive an Earthquake from Landorus-T while still outspeeding the likes of Timid Magnezone. Moxie can pickup kills before Mega-Evolving to get a free attack boost and Guts can punish Pokemon like Slowbro, Rotom-Wash, and Tapu Fini who commonly use Scald or Will-O-Wisp.

zardy is a cool up-and-coming breaker in the current meta, and i think its very threatening for a majority of teams, seems cool to build around and explore what team structures this trendy dragon fits on. I cut out evs and nature as i think thats not rlly smthng which zardy has a standard for as far as im concerned, but if thats not allowed then these are the evs / nature i prefer:
EVs: 80 HP / 212 SpA / 216 Spe
