Resource National Dex Sample Teams Thread [OUTDATED] [SEE LINK TO NEW THREAD IN OP]

OP stolen from the OU Thread

NEW THREAD

Banner coming soon

The main goal of this resource is to showcase good teams that are easy to pick up and use on the ladder. This should help players to familiarize themselves with the current NatDex OU metagame.

We will actively look over the sample teams and make sure that they stay up-to-date in order to reflect the current metagame as well as possible.

If you'd like a less selective, but larger resource, I recommend that you check out the NatDex OU Bazaar.​

Quick question: How the heck is that Dragapult team a BO team?! I was under the impression Chansey doesn't fit well on BO without Teleport(not that you can run it with Wish anyways since the 2 are sadly illegal together). There also isn't that much offensive pressure for it to be BO either, no?

Pivot balance
https://pokepast.es/30a43b889311cd9f this team is a lot of fun the only problem I've had with it is that i have no idea what defogger to use and I'm honestly tired of using rotom


excadrill abuse
https://pokepast.es/8d7b0856e9f6bb45 I dropped trick on victini on this team for bolt strike for coverage and I found that I was barely using trick on this team

Edit: Changed the Latios teams into one with an underutilized Magearna set, and another with broken Darm. Pick your poison.

no offense, but how do u play against Acid Armour+Stored power reinculus with gliscor balance? feels like he counters gliscor balence.

u can run stored power on mega lati which beats out reuni or even run 12evs in speed on pex to haze out Reuniclus that commonly runs only 44 speed.

Hey, I wanted to drop off the SSNL teams I used that I felt were the most well rounded, and I'll drop the rest in the Bazaar.

https://pokepast.es/2109955ee85b5e03 - we had a no Chansey agreement but this one is worth showcasing

As usual, criticism is appreciated. Enjoy!
